Stats messaging

I keep an eye on my logfiles, and sometimes there are some odd Google searches that stand out. I don't mind people coming here to search information - sometimes I write about stuff because I couldn't find any information about myself - one of the top searches at the moment is "body pump" and it's derivatives... looks like no one else is writing about it so my entry about the latest program is very popular. I don't usually write about the odd searches that we get, as I don't really want to encourage more useless hits... but there is a funny (and really geeky) meme going around the web at the moment relating to odd searches. (While buy a lowrider in eu and how to turn into a dragon are amusing examples, personally I don't want to know what people who come searching for moomin paratroopers or odd nipples want.) But the meme - here's how it works:

Visit a friend’s blog and look for some key words that they have used in a post. You might want to go back a few weeks to make sure those posts will show up in a search. Make a sentence with those words (the more unique the words are the better). Using the person’s blog name is good if it’s unique. It should have some sort of message like the one above. Type the sentence into Google with NO quotes and see if you find the persons blog. If you do, make sure you click on it so that the search will show up in their stats. If you do the search a few times, they will have a better chance of noticing it in their stats.

Admitedly, Finnish is a bit difficult language for this, but given a productive enough writer you're bound to come up with something funny. Just try it.
