Every once in a while I check my site statistics to see what search keywords people are using to find my site. Sometimes it gets pretty interesting. This time around I didn’t get anything to out of the ordinary. Here’s a sample:
Pretty normal I guess. I was kind of disappointed I didn’t find anything to outrageous.
That got me to thinking about site stats. What services do you use to keep track of your site’s traffic? I use SiteMeter and StatCounter. I’ve tried to setup up Google Analytics a few times, but haven’t had much luck on WordPress. I’ve heard good things though.
Here’s an even better question: what’s the most outrageous keyword term someone has used to find your site?

I hate how disappointing it is to look at the search results… I nearly have my site for a year now, and have gone through every month to collect the ‘best’ searches. sigh. they are still so normal and mundane…

Google Analytics is where it’s at.
All my searches are like “Matt Scott” which is too common a name.
