The tools that WordPress give us bloggers are pretty neat and one of the best, for me, is “Search Engine Terms”. This is a list of what people have searched for prior to arriving at your blog; I’m always fascinated by, firstly, the sort of things that people search for and, secondly, the fact that those searches lead people to The Wolf’s Howl.
Some of them are easy to understand; a lot of people find this blog after searching for “usbport.sys”, but then I’ve written a couple of posts about this most difficult of Windows system files. Most of the searches can be tied-in somehow to posts I’ve written (”jason wolf weight loss blog” covers quite a few) but today a search term that I am proud to see appeared in my list: “unsociable git”. Constant Readers will be aware that I’ve written a couple of posts about my lack of social graces and now it’s official. Using Google, The Wolf’s Howl comes up tenth when searching for that phrase. Now that’s a claim to fame.
Of course, I’m not really sure why anyone would be searching for “unsociable git” on Google - that perhaps says as much (if not more) about the searcher than it does about me.
