Strange Search Keywords

Strange Search Keywords in Traffic Sources

Okay, this is not training related but it is blog related and is kind of funny in a strange way.

Has anyone ever viewed the Search Keywords in your Traffic Sources area?  I review mine every so often and I am sometimes amazed at the search terms people are using to get to my blog.  Most of the search terms I understand but some of them leave me dumb founded.  How is Google associating these search terms with my blog?

Examples:
"1980s running looks" & "1980s training in spandex" - Apparently I have the 1980s look down and people are flocking to me to see how to dress up for Halloween.

"Courtland high school va streven white" - What?!

"Q on the Move" - I am glad to know that three people really did not want to read my blog.  They really were looking for Q on the Move.  How could you ever get us confused?!  I am the hot looking one.

"1980s happy feet tub socks pics" - Apparently I attract weirdos with "1980s happy feet tub sock" fetishes.

 What kind of weird Search Keywords are in your Traffic Sources?

  1. Ha! I'll be sure to share my search keywords. Too freakin' funny! :)

    'like that's going to happen'
    'silly running outfit'
    'my wife is a silly girl'
    'angry child'
    'mommy running' (I do not have kids, by the way, so this one's just weird)

  3. Looking at the keyword search is one of my all time favorite things to do... you wouldn't believe some of the things that lead to my blog. Just think any crude thing about a redhead and it lands people to my place!

  8. @All - After you check let me know what you find. If you use blogger or blogspot you can check by: Logging in Then going to DESIGN. Then select STATS from the tabs. Then click TRAFFIC SOURCES. Scroll to the bottom. I usually switch between the time periods to see the various search terms (at the top of the screen).

    @Morgan - somehow that does not surprise me

    @Silly Girl - "like that's going to happen" and "Angry child" I can see that. ;-)

    @Amanda - Now I am sad. There is nothing to see there. I am much better looking. ;-)
