Keyword Fun

will57
I recently logged into my Google Analytics account (I'd forgotten I had it), and I found myself endlessly amused by some of the search keywords that had apparently brought people to my LJ. For fun, I thought I'd share some of the more lulzy ones.

- ""doug petrie", riley, "man crush" "

Looks like somebody just watched Petrie's The Initiative commentary.

- "misogynistic bent"

Not on this LJ, there isn't!

- "gabrielleabelle percentage "

This just fills me with glee.

- "battlestar galactica"

I haven't seen BSG. I can't imagine how that managed to come up.

- "spice girls icons "

And this, I have no explanation for.



- "talking during intercourse "

...yay?

- "buffy cow pajamas "

*g*

- "buffy rape stories biker gang "

Ah, I'm afraid that particular fic isn't hosted here.

- "do demons influence my dreams "

Nope. But my fic, Influence of Demons, will rock your world!

- "fryal porno "

Please tell me that this person wasn't searching for Fyarl porno. I can't figure out anything else from that, though.

- "gabrielleabelle tumblr "

Sorry. Don't have one.

- "how can they show spike and buffy have rough sex"

Thank UPN for that.

- "why i love buffy my buffy is the motherfucking slayer"

Damn right.

- "willow wearing hats" and "buffy fashion willow hats "

lol!

- "minnie mouse costume "

...

Is this in the "Traffic" tab under "Search Engines"? I'd always been sort of curious to see what searches people used to find me, but either I'm looking in the wrong place or no one has ever found me via a search!

Some of yours are fabulous, though. The Petrie one especially! And "fryal porno" indeed - I have nothing to say to that, except that it's disturbing how often I've seen "Fyarl" mispelled that way.

ETA: I just figured out what it is. I have my LJ set not to turn up in search results. Well, duh. :P

lol! Yeah, if you have your journal privacy settings on, you're probably not gonna get many search visitors. Good in some ways, bad in that you miss out on the goofy keywords people use. :)

It's part of the Google Analytics package, which one can now use with LJ. It's free and you can sign up here, if you're interested in obsessing over you blog traffic. *g*

Fryal porno is the best. You should check it out sometime.

I'm scared to google it. So I won't.

"minnie mouse costume"

Your secret's out! Do you have pictures? :-)

You prompted me to look at the same thing for mine... and I discovered something rather interesting. The referring site that sent me the most visitors (169) was Google, which isn't surprising. The site that sent me the second most visits (151 visits, spending an average 5 minutes each) was gabrielleabelle.livejournal.com, which is rather surprising. And no, i'm not going to pay you a commission. :-)

Also, search terms used to find me included "james marsters buttocks" (no thank you) and "centaurs can't masturbate" (but they can!) and the rather precise "was eliza dushku in buffy opening sequence?" (yes, though not by name)...

Yes, but you have to be a subscriber.

Huh. I've found that LJ navigation causes some wonky Analytics results. For example, someone clicking through on their friends page will show as a referral from them, when it's most likely that person taking a poll or commenting or something. Or even just clicking through to you from their profile.

OTOH, a lot of my referrals come from the herald, so it's also possible other people are being linked through somehow.

And I inexplicably have a large number of referrals from Facebook. That's new.

"james marsters buttocks"

Hey! I want that search term! *spams google* "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks" "james marsters buttocks"

Yes. For example, every time I read my own flist, Google Analytics records it as a pageview, which skews my overall results quite a bit.

What I'm really curious about is this one livejournal user from whose flist I've been getting several hits a day for a good month and a half now - even though she hasn't friended me or any comm to which I post. I don't understand how a person could get from her flist to me.

Can't you select "Do not include me in my own statistics" to avoid that? Or does LJ not have that option? (DW does, in the account settings.)

I don't understand how a person could get from her flist to me.

Maybe she has you on an RSS feed, which shows up in her flist. That's how everyone who reads my DW journal via RSS shows up, as a referral from their flist.

Oct. 21st, 2010 07:55 pm (UTC)
I don't think LJ has that option, although now I want to check. It wouldn't surprise me if it were one more thing that DW got right and LJ didn't.

I guess that's possible. Setting up an LJ feed of my LJ is really the long way around, though.

Oct. 21st, 2010 08:04 pm (UTC)
LOL, yeah, it kind of is, but maybe they were too shy to friend someone they didn't know? Or they don't want you to know they're reading?

The other option is if you're linked by someone else she has friended, like a recs list. If that post appears in her flist, and she clicks through directly to your journal, then it would show up as coming from her flist.

What's scary is that I just Googled "james marsters buttocks" and then clicked the option that said "Tip: These results include the word "butt". Show results that include only "buttocks"... and I was actually the first link on the page! This makes me deeply afraid...

Hahahahaha! That is Made of Awesome.

I've only ever had one search show up on DW (I think I have my journal set to minimize it popping up in search results?), and it was "damon/stefan/elena threesome."
gabrielleabelle
Oct. 21st, 2010 02:29 am (UTC)
I have no clue who those people are, but I'm down with threesome searches. :)
eowyn_315
Oct. 21st, 2010 02:32 am (UTC)
Heh. They're the main characters in The Vampire Diaries, which I just started watching, so the search is not entirely out of the blue, though I suspect the searcher was somewhat disappointed to discover that there is no hot threesome porn to be found.
gabrielleabelle
Oct. 21st, 2010 02:38 am (UTC)
Much like the disappointment one searcher felt when they realized my LJ didn't have a Buffy biker gang rape fic. I so hate to disappoint them like that. Hmmm.

This must be rectified immediately! Bonus if you can work in the fryal porno!

- "talking during intercourse "

...yay?


You did have a nice post about Spike talking during sex in fic. I remember it well.

I know I've bumped into you through Google many a time. It's gotten to the point where I just look through your tags before I even start Googling for anything in fandom.

Ah. So you were the one searching for Fyarl porno. Just FYI, you typoed. ;)

I was wondering why I wasn't getting hits. Though I did eventually find that Minnie Mouse Costume on eBay. ;-D

Fyarl porno!?

I'm afraid of what would show up if I searched that!

Hold on...

Huh. Oddly enough, this was the first hit.

I'll be damned.

This would/could be me. I started with the FFL commentary, but the man crush is overwhelming in The Initiative. Oh, Petrie...

Anyway, I was looking for confirmation on that Riley is Petrie's Marty Stu, because I'm pretty sure I've read that somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Temporarily brought out of lurk-dom, I have to add that I'm a fan of your brain.

Ah, so that wasn't you who wrote that Anya/Giles story where Anya dresses up as Minnie Mouse and and Fyarl!Giles sneezes all over her.

While listening to the Spice Girls.

The search continues.

"do demons influence my dreams "

This one made me LOL for real.

Me too. I kinda wish Google would just return a page that says, "YES". That'd be a giggle.

This post makes me giggle unreasonably much.

"do demons influence my dreams "

Maybe something to do with "Restless" talk? Or "Inception" talk?

"how can they show spike and buffy have rough sex"

LOL. Naysayers.
gabrielleabelle
Oct. 21st, 2010 03:19 pm (UTC)
Oh, the dream thing is almost certainly connected to my fic, Influence of Demons.

LOL. Naysayers.

Indeed. :)
