I have spent a lot of time talking about social media lately. For a variety of reasons. Most good, some not so good (but great learning opportunities for me – in this ever changing medium), and some just plain funny.
And I’ve decided to share with you the funny one…and hopefully make it funnier.
—————————
Last night, my husband was chatting with a friend of his about searches that have brought people to my blog. It always amazes me how people find my blog. Whether it be through a friend of a friend, a random google search of ‘mom bloggers’ or some google search of the most inappropriate sadomasochistic non-mom-blogger-ish thing. THOSE are the people that intrigue me the most. The ones sitting at their computer at night google searching “adult acts with adult male in dirty poopy diaper.” Really? I can’t stomach cleaning my 20 month old’s diaper when she has an accident…people really do this for fun…on purpose?
And then the most interesting (read: frightening) thing happens. They somehow end up on my blog…and they LIKE IT. Yup. The weirdo searching for other adults that like kinky adult diaper issues also like my blog. Evidently, they’re a part of my demographic. How to take this?
And then there’s the searches that people do while on my site. You see that little “search” box at the top of my blog? Well, when you run a search on that, I can see what you were searching for (funny how analytics work). And my goodness you people are … curious. Allow me to just satisfy some of my top searches…so that you don’t have to look anymore.
- No, I will not post a picture of myself in a bathing suit.
- No, I will also not post pictures of my husband/I in underwear (and quite frankly, you guys are starting to scare me).
- No, I don’t know things about my husband’s or my ex’s…nor would I post things about them (they’re not in our lives for a reason).
- No, I don’t post things about my son’s preschool.
- No, I don’t post last names.
- No, I have never driven a jeep off a cliff (why oh why have multiple people asked this?)
Not that I don’t trust you, lovely readers, but there are some disturbed people out there. I mean, you just read the whole adult diaper thing right?
Which brings me to the point of my post. While my husband and his friend were talking about how searches work on blogs, they started to giggle like little girls. And my husband later informed me that it’s because his friend now wants to google search the most random and inappropriate things to see what would land him on my blog. And I say (to his friend), GAME ON!
(Wang: If you can come up with something even more inappropriate than my current list (that I can email you if you’d like)…you will win. But what could the terms of our bet be? I think you and Chad should come up with this. But in my opinions…it should involve wings/beer and all of us being in the same town for a weekend!)
