Web Analytics has a Sense of Humor

by Josh Fleming on May 29, 2009

That title would appear to be an oxymoron, good times with Web analytics? But alas, in the sexy world of referrers, page views and time spent on site, we often come across some amusing ways in which people find this blog. Here are some of the more intersting terms people have used to find our blog – whether they wanted to or not!

Google search home

Mascot logos

Google image search perhaps?

Jessica Held Iowa

Our VP of Account Service seems to have more stalkers than I’m ready to admit. Were you a heartbreaker back in grade school Jess?

Potty dance

Ah yes, good times going potty.

Quiznos Hamsters

Oh yeah, company offers free subs then most of the stores don’t participate in the offer. PR nightmare.

Middle Management Sucks

Middle managers everyone should fear the number of times this search term occurs.

Old man at a dance club

Grandpa’s Gone Wild?

Guinea pig cell phone

Not as random as you might think.

Alegent Health

It may not seem all that funny, but this one was huge. Apparantly, we gave some praise to a social media campaign done by Alegent. Unbeknownst to us, a lot of people behind the campaign had been let go, which made this our most read post until this week. All of this led one commenter to write: It’s too bad that Alegant Health recently laid off the key employee behind these impressive media stats. The Public Relations department at the hospital must not think that these stats make a difference in the community. Shame on them.

IDED

Moving on.

Duh

Now who searches for this?

Elmo

Fortunately, the “Tickle Me” part wasn’t as popular

Arabian Booty Shaking

By far our favorite, and most obscure. We cover it all here at Lessing-Flynn. To each his own I suppose.
