    I had an order a few years ago, and the referring URL was the yahoo directory about anal sex positions (can I post that?) - that was a laugher all day. I'll never forget that one. I love getting phone orders where people's email address is something xxxhot - they are embarrassed; and I just tell them "I quit wondering years ago" LOL

    Back then in my old GameServer site, I had a search log which searched for. Game source. Thats probably one of the dummest thing i've seen but why would I document my source in my page. But i'm really sure i've searched for dummer thigns :p just for the fun of it.

    I just found out my site ranks like #6 for "submit article" out of like 30 million sites. I havent even --tried-- to rank that word. Makes me mad, cuz the words I actively pursue seem to be a lot harder to rank for LOL - kills me when my "glass taper candle holder" page disappears from google :)

    sometimes not trying is the key, Search engines want to make up their own minds.

    One of the more "exciting terms" that I rank #1 for is "watching grass grow" and I actually get a few dozen SE inbounds a month for various combinations of that. Looking at this month's data, "how to make hash browns" ranks #1 and might break a 100 inbounds this month, but only 11 so far for "elvira pinball" which ranks #2. I have Analog only list the top 250 search terms, but those are a few funky ones that pop out.

    On a semi-related note, I've dropped to the #2 spot for "car stories" out of 19,200,000 (wow, must be good, eh?!?) which generates an average of a whopping 2 inbounds/day - this one just popped up a while back and kinda surprised me, although obviousely not a common search term.

    New one popped up in my stats yesterday;

    "barefoot and pregnant diy"

    just doesn't seem to be an easy DIY project to me... but now I have to dig through the logs to see what SE turned that visitor my way....

    Yea...she's pretty eclectic. But then again, she gets lots of money to make huge wonderous art things. What else would you call a website that features a 30 foot tall chandelier in the desert? :p

    Some of the life stories on our homeless site trigger some pretty depressing search phrases like:

    i want to kill myself
    self harm
    stop the abuse

    Really made me reflect on my content and realise what a responsibility publishing online can be... you can seriously impact on people's lives.

    My all time most funny one though was for our youth site. A young lad searched for:

    "how to get girls to sleep with you at [xyz youth event]"

    That cracked me up.
