Looking at my stats page here on WordPress, it’s just another normal day indulging my rampant narcissism and seeking validation in the form of page views. My eyes wander downwards towards the little ‘Search Engine Terms’ box, do-de-do.
Then…wha? How on Earth did someone find my page while searching for…
‘Middle Age Big Tits‘?
‘Painful Itchy Skin Cat’?
‘Indoor Bikini Parade’?
I looked it up too, but all I could find were images of Outdoor Bikini Parades. Image Via wn.com
People find my blog searching for all sorts of things. After ‘woahmolly‘ or some variation of that, the second most common term is ‘hugh howey’. (Yes, I’m a fan, I admit it.) I get visits from searches on the books I read and write about, and searches specific to subjects I have written about (like ‘commuting’, ‘recovering goth’, ‘creative process’, and many various phrases concerning ‘Muay Thai’.)
Then there are the strange ones. The ones listed above are just a few of the weird ways that somehow, by some crude and strange magic, people have reached my blog. Phrases such as, ‘Why grey hair grows’, ‘men’s corsetry’, ‘books of girls in underwear’, ‘tumblr hot tits photography’, ‘bearded dragon getting mad’ and the amazing ‘chocolate girls freck fucking’, which sends my imagination running wild with bizarre imagery.

Even though folks come across my little Molly nest in this corner of the net through bizarre or accidental means, I really hope they enjoy what they find. After all, it doesn’t matter how you got here, just that you did, and that maybe you said hi.
Did you find my blog searching for something else? What’s the strangest search term that has led someone to your blog. Let me know in the comments below!
I do not usually look at the search terms that bring people to my blog. After overcoming my issues with the capitalisation I made a special trip to the “All time” list. Nothing interesting: people seem to find my blog while searching for someone with my name or for books I have reviewed. The only semi-oddity is “edunburgh” and that is only strange because I cannot find any use of that misspelling, so the search engine must have broadened the search.
Oh, my search terms were full of delightful misspellings!I tidied it up because I can’t personally bear to spell things wrong if I can help it.
