This is a screen grab of my search query report for not just my blog but my entire web site. Which is the usual.
Back early in 2004, I did one blog post in which I mentioned monster trucks in which I linked to a couple other websites that were monster truck websites. The post wasn’t even on monster trucks. I was just proving a point.
And week after week after week, this is what I get coming to my blog and web site. They want monster trucks. And big trucks. Monster trucks and big trucks. Out of all the topics I’ve posted on, this is what I get, search queries directed always to that one particular page with the two links to monster truck websites (in other words, I needn’t worry about this post, I don’t think, as I’ve commented on this phenomena before and the search engines aren’t interested).
A couple of weeks ago I removed the links to those monster truck websites, hoping that will do something about this. And when it does finally work its magic? Well, I’ve also a couple days ago disallowed Google searching for images. And when those two actions finally get through to Google, the slim little bit of Google traffic I get will dwindle from a drop drop drop of the faucet to the last faint ghost of moisture on the tongue of this blog sitting smack in the middle of a desert run on this vast information super highway.
Just a touch of non-poetic justice to it all. That on the so-called information super highway the searchers I get want monster trucks, and they will go anywhere, even all the way out to my blog, in order to find all the monster trucks they can.
P.S.: Isn’t it annoying I’m complaining about this? Especially if you’ve landed at this website looking for monster trucks?
