You're not going back through my blog and reading everything I've ever posted, are you?

I’d get readers from Japan or New Zealand and be like “WHAT?! How did these people even find what I was writing?!?!” Thank you, Google, for making obscure things findable.<br /><br />What’s even more amusing (and revealing) is finding out what search terms people are using that lead them to your website/posts. I think search term trackers/reporters are something you can add to your website, and it might be a feature that comes with certain web hosts. (I remember, years ago, adding a hit counter to a website that also told me search terms, and I’ve seen online writers post some of their search terms.) The search terms are sometimes bizarre and hilarious, but most are a good way to see the interests of readers and to adjust topics accordingly. <br /><br />“Why don’t you be quiet forever?” Your daughter is snarky in a good way. :D<br /><br />By the way, seven of my fingers are broken, but I’m commenting anyway since you asked nicely. It’s taking forever because I have to resort to “hunt and peck” typing. I’m assuming that since you want comments, you don’t mind necrocommenting. And if you do mind, then that’s what the delete button is for. :P<br /><br />I was reading a book review blog yesterday, and the newest post complained about short comments that gave no indication that the commenter had actually read the post (“Great review!” “Great pick!” “Thanks for the review!”). Which is worst, mindless comments or no comments?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
