How Did You Get Here?
This may seem to be a little nosy, but I have been looking at the various visitors and posters that come here and while I can probably guess in some cases, I am genuinely curious as to how my visitors come here.
Now, my reason for being here is obvious - it’s my site. Some people I know through other sites, but I also have regular visitors and commenters that I don’t know and can’t work out what brought them here. I’m happy that you are all here, of course, but how did you get here?
So, please post a comment to let me know your route. Did you search for Lesbians and find that this was not the site you were looking for? (and that is still the number one search term that brings people here. That and donkey sex.) Were you idly browsing and found this place? Did your computer crash and this was the only place your browser would open?
There is nothing riding on this, I am simply curious.

I think I must have your your site by the keywordluv plugin you have. I am not 100 % sure though. Added you to my reader and there we go!

So a truly random reader for a random blog :) What I should have said in the post was “however you got here, glad to have you!”

My landing here comes from my penchant to know more about my fellow forum posted at LQ and I clicked on your website address, or perhaps Drew’s and got to you through a link. I arrive here now when just reading your feed won’t be satisfying enough. :)

I found you because I was looking for info about commentluv and wanted to decide whether or not real people would use it. I’ve read a lot of your posts and figured that since you thought it was ok it must be good for my blog. I was worried initially about the spamminess of installing it but it seems most commentors are pretty legit.
Other than that your on all my bookmark sites and in my actaul real bookmarks because I like your writing style.

@paunchiness - not sure why, but Spam karma decided your post was spam, most odd. And yay me - hadn’t realised that I had a “writing style” but if you’ve become a fan, I must have :)
As to the possibility of spam - I use Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behavior to automate the spam catching and I believe that Drew (mine host) has a few other measures at the server level. I read (but don’t always reply to) every comment and run them through my own personal algorithms (which are entirely in my head). My view is that if I’m not sure that a post is genuine and it looks like fluff, it goes in the bin, otherwise it can stay but I may remove the links. So far, so good!

I didn’t search for donkey sex if that is any consolidation to you. :-) LOL. I think I found you through another site with a link back to here, but I can’t remember because i click on so much stuff it isn’t funny anymore. I’m glad I did though because you ask some good questions and I like people with brains.

A friend told me about this site because he liked it, and now I like it. That is hilarious how you get traffic from those keywords, and I bet you didn’t even optimize for them. I bet the traffic isn’t very high quality, though, because once the people see there aren’t any girls here, they get mad and leave. Although I’m sure a good few stay.

Yep - pretty much. Every so often I use one of those words in the post or as a tag - it gives me a small amount of evil pleasure knowing that people searching for a generic term in a search engine will come to a pretty generic site :)
Of course, my regular visitors avoid that particular honeytrap :D

Thanks K - by the way, you may have inadvertently hit on a way to make the site play up. I have edited your post ever so slightly to enable the page to load. It also messed up my dashboard. So, welcome to the site, you scamp you!

Clearly you need lesbian pets to move, or lesbian removal specialists. Oddly, no one posting here has ever identified themselves as a lesbian (and no, no one has to out themselves). I suspect they have their own sites to find pictures from :)

The first time I came here was via the comment you left somewhere, but cant remember where. Now you are bookmarked, so I visit from time to time. I am not subscribed thought, my email is already full, I even had to unsubscribe from blogs simply because I don’t have enough time to track everyone :)

Came here because I was searching on commentluv and trying to figure out how to make it work for our guitar lessons / music lessons blog.
Do blog people have time for guitar lessons or are they too busy updating their wordpress plugins?
Nice to see that CL picks the title from the blog. Cool.
