    Hehe... that's hilarious. I actually help run a comedian's site (www.shaveyourhead.com) and he gets a LOT of odd search terms -- I don't know that I'd be allowed to post them here, as they are largely... well... just very inappropriate.

    The question I had is -- maybe I ought to start optimizing on those whacky keyphrases? I mean if that's what people are looking for... why the heck not, right?

    Yeah I just researched Overture suggestions for skin protection cream related words.

    I tried 'hands', 'fingers', 'dirty hands' etc. I could have predicted the outcome... Nothing but sex related results. It's surprising what people search for. I remember researching WordTracker and Overture for swimming pool related words. Again, yuo get dozens of adult related phrases.

    How about 'saltwater critter cleaner', keep in mind the site is about saltwater aquariums and stuff, but even I have no idea what this person was looking for.

    lol, maybe he had an algae problem :confused:

    some ppl around here in the southern US always refer to most organisms smaller than cats as 'critters', whether they be volvexs or squirrels.

    Nothing weird but one person found my site by typing in Google "What is Kirkcaldy?" which was quite amusing :)

    My scout site has a tendency to get alot of XXX searches. This I can understand: there is an x in the name.

    But on another site I have:

    creampie cathy
    pictures of old russian women (???)
    arabic operative
    zipped farm bureau sheep

    I just had one of my forum members tell me a story.

    His house was burglarized a few months back. He lives in NY and posted about it on my www.lincolnvscadillac.com site.

    He recently got an email from some woman doing a study about victims of burglary in NY. When he asked how she found him she told him a google search and that the listing was my site. Not sure what KW phrase, but I thought that was interesting.
