My friend, Heather, taught me a very valuable lesson: how to reverse stalk on your blog. If you go to this website, you can sign up for a free account. And guess what you get?!! You can find out how many times people look at your blog, where they are looking at it, and how they found it. Needless to say, I am obsessed with it (I had to have something new to be obsessed with since the NCAA tournament is over).
The most interesting thing that has happened is the fact that my blog is apparently one of the top 10 sites that come up when you search for anything to do with the raid of the polygamist compound outside of San Angelo, TX. There are literally 20 people who have looked at my blog after typing "Texas polygammy" into Google.
This is because one time several months ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about how I wouldn't mind being a polygamist as long as I could be the "fun wife". It appears that because of this, I am now a Texas polygamy expert. I'm glad Google only uses the most quality, informative sites...

I Googled Texas and polygamy and your blog didn't come up.
That's because you have to spell it wrong - spell it "polygammy" and it will be in the first three.
Polygamy doesn't have to m's. It has one. Who was the Einstein that said it has two? Can't the world spell correctly anymore?
Don't worry Erin, I don't think there's any question that you would be the life of any party -- whether it were a polygamist family, or the Nobel Prize awards dinner. The only time you might get upstaged is by a certain Rika-chan at an over-the-top, ridiculous Thanksgiving costume party held at the Ebetsu church (or anywhere Cheesecake might be found).
Unless you grew up in Arizona or Utah I highly doubt there would be any reason to actually spell "polygamy". Perhaps that's why...
And, the mention of Rika was just what I need this morning. Stories about her NEVER get old. I remember when she took nearly 3 hours to bake an apple cake to take to a member...after about 1 1/2 hours of it baking in the renji, it overflowed and we spent the rest of the time cleaning it up. Instead we had to stop by the bakery and get some cheesecake. Big surprise.
People who searched for the lyrics to the diarrhea song were the most likely to land on my blog since it came up first in those searches. You would not believe how many people actually want to know all the lyrics. I'm sure they were disappointed when they hopped on my blog and didn't find a thing. How sad for them, but interesting conversation starting for me!
hey, i don't get this stat counter, thing. Perhaps you should do a breakdown of its wonders. I want to know who's looking at my site!
Ok...here's what you do...go to statcounter.com. Go to register. Then, go through the register process. At one point, it will ask you to put in the site you want monitored. And, at the very end, it will give you the option of having a visual counter on your site or not. If you want one, you can put the html on your blog. After it's all done, you can go back and look at who is looking at your blog. All you have to do is sign in, click on the name of your blog, and it will give you a ginormous list of the things you can look at - visitor activity, entry pages, exit pages, return visits, visit length, etc. If you want, I can set it up for you.
