20 things somebody actually googled (blog challenge!)

Just for fun, in no particular order (except backwards, because it suits me), here are the twenty strangest search terms that have brought someone to my site:


20. Zombie Apocalypse Ideas


Now, I thought this was a little odd, but I did do one silly post about the zombie apocalypse. The really strange thing is that this is the search term that has resulted in the most views. Like, more than any other search term that has ever brought anyone to this blog. There were a number of variations on this, such as “Zombie Apocalypse Is Coming,” “Good Zombie Apocalypse” (what?), “Christmas Zombie Aplocalips” (no kidding…), “Apokylypz” (no…), and “zombee pocky lips” (don’t want to know).


19. Velvetbrownfox


I’ve gotten four views on four different dates from this search term. I have no idea what this refers to. I’m assuming it must be a thing, right?


18. подсолнухи картинки


Are search engines alphabet-specific? Google Translate tells me that this person wanted pictures of sunflowers, and I did indeed post pictures of sunflowers once, but I did not label them in Cyrillic.


17. the man sitting the feel of loneliness images


Really not sure.


16. peeing on bushes and weeds


Still not really sure.


15. dalek no trespassing


Swiper, no swiping!


14. grass fight texas


Everything in Texas is extremely aggressive. You should see those dandelions.


13. big spiders and a big cobweb


Halloween, I’m guessing?


12. texas Revolting


I’m tempted to run this through Google Image Search.


11. cranky political judges


I’m guessing ‘cranky’ was what brought them here. I don’t recall ever having mentioned politics or judges. Still, the mental image is nice.


10. is there a word that means “to suck the life out of everything”?


If there is, it’s probably German.


9. fart jelly gelly beans


Either a misinformed Harry Potter reference, or… No, I can’t think of anything else.


8. vampire poland homes


Best real estate service ever.


7. Comments made by blue bell ice cream drivers


Are they known for their pithy wit?


6. Boat or mountains?


I have no idea.


5. Morrigan puns


Ancient and complicated triple-goddesses lend themselves to quaint humor.


4. How to get children to internalize values


Smells like social engineering.


3. trippy sunflowers


Duuuuuuuuuuude.


2. Mexican dragons


Is that a thing? I know most cultures have some dragon-like creature in their mythology, but I’ve lived within driving distance of Mexico all my life and have never heard of a Mexican dragon.


1. i don’t words


It’s okay. Neither do I.


 


Your turn, bloggers. I challenge you to go through your search terms and list off all the weird ones!

Martin Landry That's awesome!
I'm not sure how you arrived at this list however. The feedback form on my website seems to be somewhat confusing to users, yet I don't know how to make it any simpler.

M.R. Graham Wordpress has very convenient statistics pages. One of them includes a list of search terms that have brought people to the site. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, it only says "unidentified" or "other". I'm sure I missed a lot of real doozies because WP couldn't identify them.

Martin Landry Ah, I see. I thought it might have been another "unpublicized" tool like "Google Trends."
