I’m not one of those bloggers who obsesses over “analytics”, the study of who our readers are and how we got them, but I do pay some attention. A guy wants to get a gauge of who his readers are and why - for instance, if 80 percent of my readers were only reading my posts about Moon Knight, I’d realize that my Moon Knight coverage is something people rely on me for, and I might focus a little less on Power Girl’s woman-parts and a little more on Moon Knight’s spiffy new gear for the foreseeable future.
Mostly, though, I get a kick out of seeing what sorts of search queries people use to find Comics Cavern via Google, or Bing, or Technorati or whatever. It can provide a real insight into the weirder side of people, and it comforts me knowing that I’m not the only one searching the web for the eclectic and bizarre.
Every now and then I get such great search queries that I’m inclined to award the weirdest ones - I recently handed out the first-ever award for Comics Cavern Search Query of the Day, and I think it’s time to give out the second such award. This time, though, you get to vote.
Here are the nominees for Search Query of the Day, October 14, 2009.
So let’s see those votes! Once enough of you make your voices heard, I’ll announce the winner, and the searcher will have the opportunity to step forward and claim the prize.
Admittedly, it’s not a huge prize - you get to plug yourself, your blog, and anything else you like, that isn’t over-the-top tasteless, hateful, or otherwise vile.
Now, pick your favorite goofy search, and let the wheels of democracy turn!
