Just a couple of housekeeping notes first. Thanks for all the input on my new logo. I’m still in the process of deciding and your comments really helped.
For those of you who asked, there will still be lots of pictures of Red Pine Mountain.
I had to remove the “Blogs I follow” widget a while back because my page wouldn’t load but I wanted to pay tribute to all of those who stop by so starting today, I’m going to feature a “Blog of the Week” on my sidebar.
Now, on to the good stuff.
A few weeks ago, Julia of Our Simple Life had a post on searches that had brought people to her blog. To say they were unusual would be an understatement. I don’t want to give away her secrets and all I can say is you have to read the post by clicking here.
I was so intrigued, I decided to add Google Analytics and track the search terms that were bringing people to Red Pine Mountain. (Spellings and phrases were left exactly as they were in the search.)
Some of them were mundane:
Rv Renovation
Men in Aprons
Some were confusing:
Canada Insurance Site
Red State Bakesales Health Care Transplants
New York Times Opinon Page
Thanks for Giving Me the Opportunity to Have an Interview
Some were amusing:
Can Guys Wear Aprons
Ladys with Great Pine Photos
Hay Aprons
Paotie Cactus
Do Women Get Tired of Cooking
Flabulous Undergarments
Funny pictures with ducks in diaper tape
Great Red Pine Horse (I know they mean the one and only Khrysta!)
Mountain Man had his own searches:
Ladybug Turn Mountain Man Head Red
Old Mountain Man Picture with Pipe
I’m in Love with Mountain Man (No, that wasn’t me.)
What would Mountain Man use for Candles
Photos of Mountain Man’s big equipment (Clean thoughts ladies!)
One was from a thinker of deep thoughts:
What is that thing that Man Makes that he Cannot Use.
One was from a proud parent:
Sharing Happiness of Son’s Wedding
And the last one was disturbing. I hope they found the answer they needed:
How not to care about your thoughts
In just a few weeks, I had over 108 searches that led people to Red Pine Mountain blog. If you don’t have Google Analytics, why not try it and share your results.
Those are hilarious! I have looked at ours before, and it makes you wonder….
I'm going to ship you some of humid weather soon, if it doesn't leave!!!
Have a wonderful day. btw, is Mountain Man back? I may have missed this.

We're going to look into Google Analytics. Our counters tell us where people are from, but not who they are!!

Maybe I will, if I can figure out how to find it!
Heading over to the other blog now.

I am loving your new format and am, hopefully, not far behind. Mine is nauseating me now! I need beauty and simplicity – oh and three columns would be great, too.
Interesting searches. I have something like it – Feedjit – and have wondered at some people finding me!

I need to start paying more attention to some of the strange search terms for my site. I've been ignoring most but the relevant ones. Maybe there's a key to matching these words up a little bit.

I get strange search terms from time to time too and I have no idea how that brings people to my blog
) Loved your list!

It is crazy, the things that show up in what brought readers to our blogs. LOL

I love seeing what people search for. It's so fun!
