How people find this blog…

…is always of interest to me.  I don’t peek at my stats like I did when I first started this thing (would you believe it’s been four years?), but I like to see when people use search terms.  It’s an interesting to see why people end up here, but it’s also a great way to check out the sorts of things people put in google.

So I’m looking through the stats, and I see a log-in from some town in Arkansas.  I’d just done some radio in Arkansas a few days before, so I figured it was one of those people.

Nope.

It was someone looking to go from a jheri curl to a relaxer.  I know that because the search terms were “going from curl to relaxer.”

I must say that I figure that would be hard for someone to find on Google.  Those still wearing curls typically aren’t surfing the net.  Digital divide, people.

2. I was looking for an article of yours that you put on Page 2, so I Googled your name and found the blog before I got the article. Sometimes, I find Googling for a specific article easier than using the search function of certain sites since Google pretty much owns everything in the solar system.
