I am fOIS In The City .. or just Florence and I found you through Eric's blog ... Pimp My Novel. I am not sure stats tell us as much as we might "read" into them. The largest number of hits on my blog come from Sad Songs, a post about a little girl who loses a friend. The second one is Sad Girls, from my Silent Friday (photography only). Guess lots of people are looking for "sad."<br /><br />I continued reading this blog, and put it on my sidebar, because you are never negative. You pass on useful information to other bloggers and mostly to aspiring writers and do it with class.<br /><br />I usually do not leave comments, but you drew me in with your list of ways people find you. Sometimes, it doesn't matter, does it? It's a nice break from my day.

Other times I'm utterly puzzled.<br /><br />A good number of visits come from a search for the single word "liar." I have no clue whether my little story about my "The Cake Is a Liar" t-shirt is what they were looking for. <br /><br />I'd also made a post that used the word "frenemy" kind of ironically, and was surprised when a search came up for "how to be zen to a frenemy." I hope whoever read it was able to become a little more zen and recognize that you are your own frenemy.<br /><br />But thanks for sharing--good to know who's looking at BookEnds.Bija Andrew Wrighthttp://www.zenbija.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-5253512804733841922011-10-03T11:40:45.952-04:002011-10-03T11:40:45.952-04:00Lets see:

Mom blogger Jessica Gottlieb has written some terrific posts about what searches have driven people to her site and from them she has developed some sage advice on what to say (or not) about your kids online. Fascinating stuff.<br /><br />I actually tweeted last week how much I loved seeing searches on my contributors' names because it meant someone was seeking out their work. <br /><br />My website is talespinfiction.com so I get a fair amount of aviation related searches. The googlers surely end up disappointed. But the funniest one I've had lately is "dancing with the stars." I cannot for the life of me figure out how that brought them to my site!Kristinehttp://www.talespinfiction.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-89850601819277340122011-10-03T10:49:55.600-04:002011-10-03T10:49:55.600-04:00These things can be interesting to follow.

I'm still getting tons of hits and comments on that post, years later, and it still amazes me.<br /><br />I think the really important thing to remember is that whatever you post on a blog should be something with which you're willing to stand behind forever. Because it's going to be there for a long time. Even if you shut the blog down, someone might have done a screen shot.ryan fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361694356025572544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-27355473242623928032011-10-03T10:48:38.930-04:002011-10-03T10:48:38.930-04:00what a great post! i like it very much! thanks for...what a great post! i like it very much! thanks for sharing!freelance writing jobshttp://www.academia-research.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-19490447597264641282011-10-03T10:48:34.542-04:002011-10-03T10:48:34.542-04:00The ways people find my blog are generally pretty ...The ways people find my blog are generally pretty tame.
