Something Light: Top Internet search terms
I was thinking — nay, hoping — that Web surfers might find our little community by searching on such important theological and cultural keywords as “God,” “Christ,” “evolution,” and “Campaign 2008.” But our beloved Mickey McLean just informed me otherwise. The top Internet search terms leading people our way today are:
Variations of the name of Eliot Spitzer’s favorite hooker (27.15 %), along with the terms “Christopher Hitchens,” “Mormon,” “Spitzer,” and “spanking.”
Oy.

To quote Spengler from Ghostbusters, “I blame myself.”
I blogged too much about this stuff, because I was flipping out with the personal connection. But hey, at least people are finding us.

Interesting, because back in 2002 I found World Mag Blog by searching something gay. I don’t remember the exact term, but the thread that google found for me involved a woman wondering if Christians could watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Congratulations. This blog is attracting people that are looking to discuss prostitution, Hitchens, mormons, or spanking. Quite a bizarre mix. At least you will have a diverse audience.
If these are not topics that you enjoy, I would recommend that you not introduce them.

Spanking?
Report comment to moderator
Spanking.

I came here looking for global warming jokes and ended up with a twicket of bad baby names and a David Mamet essay. I then visited your MySpace Spitzer-lover links, which caused biological whisperings to emanate from within me. I logged off and had a shower.

FYI, the “spanking” searches are targeted toward Kristin’s post from yesterday “Discipline or abuse.”

Mickey,
You have to understand that Stubob is sick.
Report comment to moderator
Hahaha.
My wife wrote an insightful piece about disciplining children on her blog a couple weeks back, and she too found an increase in traffic from googlers that had just searched for “spanking.”
In most cases, I’m gonna guess her post was not what they were after.
On the other hand, nothing could kill a randy mood like some of the discussions here, so you guys can maybe take some credit for a tiny dip in this week’s consumption of Internet porn.

Do the search engines scope out only the main posts (ie to the exclusion of comments)?

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Mark Roth: The search engines do pull from the comments, as well.
Report comment to moderator
Thanks for the answer, MickeyM. I assumed they did; nice to know for sure.
Now I can start putting useful GoogleBait in my comments.

Great idea, Mark Roth! Or should I say, great idea, Mark “Obama Hillary McCain Global Warming” Roth!
And now, here’s my comment: Britney Spears Amy Winehouse Mormon Spitzer Spanking Gay Marriage Furry Acne Relief Make Money From Your Own Home Be Your Own Boss UFO Vader Black Helicopter Free Cell Phone Viagra Infralapsarian Hannah Montana.
That should get things going.

RR- I think we can just say your comment is nothing than Britney Spears’ initials.

LOL!

Hmmmm … it’s a wonder that our spam filter didn’t kick out RR’s comment. I’ll have to get the Web Diva working on that.
Report comment to moderator
MM#19: I wondered about the filtering as well.
RR#16: CPV?
(Are you sure that shouldn’t be cell phone verizon?)

RR: It didn’t work. I googled “infralapsarian” and this thread didn’t hit.

Let’s try again.

Likely, it takes the search engines longer to find the comments than it does the original post on the home page.
Report comment to moderator
Google ranks things, too, so if someone Googles “infralapsarian,” whatever that is, they’ll find things that have been around longer and Worldmagblog will be at the bottom of the list until people start clicking on it.
Report comment to moderator
That seems to be the case. We’re not even in the top 500. Pasting “infralapsarian” 20 times doesn’t even help. Maybe if we actually start talking about infralapsarianism…
Report comment to moderator
Well, I will only talk about infralapsarianism in order to condemn it. I believe the supralapsarian position gives greater glory to God’s sovereignty, though I will admit that infralapsarians glorify Creation better.
Report comment to moderator
Well, since I have no clue as to what infralapsarianism nor supralapsarian mean, I wish someone would start a thread on them. When we can all either wax eloquent about infralapsarianism and supralapsarian, or reveal how ignorant we are, though pretending to be smart.
