Motif Monday: My # 1Google Search Phrase

Yes, I know it's Wednesday, but I'm just now catching up on my blog surfing. And besides, I'm habitually late anyway. Just ask Jagman.
Mrtl at
Madden Round the Land has created Motif Monday based on experiences she has had in college writing classes and group blogging activities. It sounds like fun, so I'm giving it a go. Next week I'll try to post it on Monday, which means you might see it on Tuesday.

The first topic is My #1 Google Search Term. Now when I first read the directions for this, I had no idea what mrtl was talking about. However, after I checked my referring sites from Site Meter, I realized that this was really quite interesting. (I used the referring sites page, because it's free. Search terms is a page you have to pay for.)

So here, in David Letterman fashion, are the top Search Phrases that lead to this site:

The Fountain Pen is hit #4 on the list for "o'malley" affair. My site rates higher than our local news channel or the local paper. Don't know what that says about google, or the MSM.
I'm also hit #4 for a search for overactive bladder and low cut jeans. Now I'm not wondering why I'm a hit for that as much as I'm wondering who would be doing a search for overactive bladders and low cut jeans?? Maybe someone who wants to know which jeans will cover her Depends?? I don't know. I just can't picture it.

A search for blog plumber's job will show The Fountain Pen as hit #3. I don't really know what a blog plumber's job is, but anyone who links to my site for it will read about Lima Bean's plumber's butt, so I hope they have a sense of humor.


An AOL search for drooping butt listed yours truly as hit #2. I'm not too happy about that one! I really don't want to be known for my drooping butt.
I'm also hit #2 in the results for a 3 carat solitaire search. Yeah, now we're talking!


And.... drumroll please.... my claim to fame is for being the #1 HIT in not one, but two google searches: Touaca and I'm a real grown-up now. I think that's a rather interesting and ironic coincidence, because when I blogged about Touaca, it was to say that I don't drink it anymore.

That was a great first topic; it was fascinating to see what searches people do and to see my site listed..."I'm a real site now." (I wonder if someone will google that!) I invite all fellow bloggers to join in on mrtl's fun and post a response for Motif Monday. Next Monday's topic is love.
