Well, after Dan and Steven did it, I had to give it a shot, right?
Although, frankly, I can't imagine any other circumstance in which any sane person would search for the word "amusements" all by itself (#3 in Google's hit parade) or the word "grim" (#6 with a bullet!). And Google is now my principal referrer, followed by the Yahoo version of Google. Doesn't seem to be making much difference to the searches that I get hit with, though. Or where. (Why is this site so popular in Mexico this week, and Belgium last week, and Norway the week before? How the hell did "picture of unemployment line" get here? Who are those people searching for "Oscar dresses" and what are they doing here? I've never mentioned Oscar dresses even once. Until now, of course. [Of course, now I've given them something that works for their false hits. They'll be SO frustrated ...] How the hell does IE 6 already account for more than 5% of the people here? And you people, the ones looking for "buffalo testicles" these past three weeks ... you people worry me ....)
Actually, I suspect that Greymatter sites come off slightly better in this than would Blogger sites, because each entry generates its own page, instead of just having one weekly archive. More hits for the terms.
