Just the other day, I was asking people “Should I Die This Year or Next Year?” I admitted to it being a strange question and added:
It’s not a common question typed into Google. (Sidenote: I would love to see the most ridiculous questions ever typed into Google. Example: I just typed “What noise do teletubbies make when you touch their tummy?” <- long story)
While I’m not yet able to see the worst things ever typed into Google, I am able to see exactly how people stumbled upon my blog. With the help of Google Analytics, I’m able to see exactly what people typed into Google to find me.
I would like to imagine that most people type in “World’s Best Personal Finance Blog,” and Google responds “Did You Mean: Funancials?” BUT unfortunately this isn’t usually the case.
Most of my visitors come from typing in “How Does Facebook Make Money?” or asking “Are Democrats Richer Than Republicans?“
Sometimes, though, people are searching for something completely different and land here instead. 🙂
I will now open up my analytics and show you…
