Hi, I'm Margie Newman. I blog about public relations, social media, careers, productivity and geek stuff.

Fun with Google, Bing and Yahoo!

If you have a blog of your own, then you know how fun it is to obsess over scan your Google Analytics account for the search terms by which folks are finding you, what state they live in, how long they stayed on your site, etc. Most of the time, the search terms that lead folks to you make sense; in my case: Margie Newman, Margie Maddux, Nashville PR, Twitter is useless, Internet privacy, Google yourself, Internal communications, etc.

But sometimes, folks find you by typing in weird stuff like:

And:

Picture 2

Or they come to you in their quest for answers like:

Please know that whatever term, quest or curiosity brings you here — I appreciate your readership! Thanks for stopping by!
