Google Analytics

Google Analytics is pretty cool. It gives you all sorts of statistics on the types of people who have been visiting your website. Things like IP address, from which you can determine ISP and hence the city from where the person is viewing. It also conveniently puts these hits on a world map, so you can visually see where the people are from. No surprises that the vast majority of our readers are from Sydney. There are also a fair few hits from Perth - hi Matt and Libby! Also a few others from random places around the globe - if this is you, say hi and introduce yourself.

One of the more interesting things to come out of Google Analytics is the keyword analysis. This shows you which keywords people have searched for on Google to come to your site. The vast majority of our hits are direct traffic, and a few are referrals from other sites (particular thanks to the toosehooseonline and le blog de guthers). However, a few people have arrived from Google.

In summay:
The person who is searching for "matt and thea blogg" - there is only one 'g' in blog.

Sam - did you realise that if you search for 'the fountainside sam', and restrict it to .au results only, you get our blog as number 1 result?!? Apologies for the bad press...

There are some people who have been genuinely searching for decent websites, but instead found our blog. Keywords include "wimbledon tennis", "london mens convenion", and "what was the impact of world war ii on bristish children". Again, apologies for the disappointment, however I'm not sure what 'bristish children' are - are they children from Bristle?

Why would anyone search for "tambourine bruises"?

There are a few others, but they aren't particularly interesting...

So, I hope that was entertaining. :) If you have a website, what are some strange Google searches that people have used to get to your site?
