It is that time again – another quarter has come and gone.
Average hits per day: 8,110 (+158%)
Average visitors per day: 469 (+41%)
That small gap in August was the unfortunate combination of me being out on vacation and a power failure that outlasted my UPS.
“catfish noodling” and “noodling” were the top two search terms in Q2 and they remain in the top 4 but “baklava” and “baklava recipe” are coming on strong. Those terms barely made a dent in Q2 but something is making people search a lot more for good baklava this quarter. It could also just be an indication of my Google ranking for those terms, where I am #1 for both “recipe baklava” and “baklava recipe”

In Q3 there were 4,267 (+21%) unique search terms used to find my site. While I usually point out unique search terms in the Zeitgeist I have to say that I’ve become a bit sensitized and uninterested in the weird things people look for. Even so, there were a few that piqued my interest:
geek house projects. An interesting idea, a house made for geeks. Server closets, plenty of expansion tubes for unplanned cable runs, full house video cabling, etc. Sounds like a great project for Monster House!
damn microsoft terminal server tokens upgrade. I can just picture how frustrated this IT guy was when he did this search.
when is the next terrorist attack going to happen?. A small number of people search on this and related phrases as if the answer is on the Internet.
Thanks for visiting. See you next quarter.
