Army of Dog

Last week I installed a copy of Mint. It’s a website analytics program that tells me all kinds of neat stuff like where people are coming from, what browsers they’re using, their screen resolution, and tons of other general information. For example, most of my traffic comes from Rachel’s site, and there’s been a good bit of activity over the last day or so from Dr. Helen’s blog. I even get a little traffic from Technorati and Google’s Blogsearch. Which brings us to the interesting part.

One of the Mint widgets that I like the most tells me the most recent search strings used to find my site. Here’s where things get interesting. I expected to wind up on the results for phrases like “Obama and abortion” and “scott-jenkins judge.” What I wasn’t quite prepared for was coming up on the results for “sex animal.”

Luckily, the fickle nature of Google’s search algorithm caused my site to fall off of that page in the search results, but notice something about that link. At the end you’ll see a string that says “start=690.” That means that my site came up on page 70 of the Google Blogsearch results for that term. Somebody went through 69 pages of bestiality results to get to my site. Even worse, I have at least three visits from that same referrer. So look around as you peruse my humble site and take note that three of your fellow travelers are probably fucking perverts.
