Glad To Have Found Me

Well, I had a wonderful weekend. But now, to celebrate the weekly return to real life, I think I'd like to highlight some of the searches that have led various unsuspecting people to The Yellow Couch.

Google.com: is the sun always yellow? He got to me via the yellow from yellow couch and the title, "The Sun Always Shines In Lugano". I think this one may have been a disappointment, no matter how you slice it. I mean, fair enough, that's a second-grade-science kind of question, but this is a first-grade-science kind of site. Apparently, though, if you ask Google where to find the answer to this question, they figure my blog is your best bet. Sorry!

Google Images: Robert Palmer or Robert Palmer Girls (I've had both). I find this a bit strange... I didn't even re-save the image somewhere... I'm just displaying it on one of my posts, but I've had a few hits from it. Why not... I guess it will show up there as well as anywhere.

Google Blog Search: photojournalism compact cameras. This led to my May Day pictures, which, I'm sad to say, is actually a post about pictures without any pictures in it, since I was still figuring out how to best link to my hosting site. How's that for a let-down?

Google.com: light yellow leather couches low back yellow. Well, sorry. The yellow and couch turn out to be completely unrelated to the "low" and "back" in this post, in which I am discussing the pros and cons of various jean pockets. Once again, though, Google figures I'm the guy to talk to if you want help choosing your furniture. And while you could do worse, you could also do a whole lot better. But then, if you're the kind of person who puts the same word into a search twice, maybe you couldn't do a whole lot better.

Google.com: designing a room around yellow couch. See above.

AOL search: couch bags. Yeah, I'm not going to help you there.



I don't know... I'm hoping that maybe one or two of the Robert Palmer people will come back, but I don't think I've generated a whole lot of return traffic with these hits...

Have a good week, everybody.

It's pretty easy. You go to sitemeter.com and get the code for their widget to paste into your blog, then you log into their site to see your stats, and choose recent visitors/by referrals. Et voila!

I usually get pretty freaked out if I have to do anything twice, but I'll let it go. This time.

(whew) your mercy and benevolence is overwhelming, oh Fussy King.

Well I *think* I figured it out last night...

Darryl said...

Ooooohhh, benevolence. Yeah, I'll take that.

Feels good to be a benevolent King, eh?

You are, actually... between cell phones and EuroCheapo and camera referrals and Mindy Smith (6 sleeps!) and spiritual warfare analysis... hats off to you.

If you send my duck and beach shots, that is. Ha!
