Search Strings - 1.618 June 20, 2004

Posted by Andy Roberts in : learning , trackback

The website hosting which I use, courtesy of frankie roberto, provides some comprehensive statistical analysis. Some of it is pointless, but there is one section which reveals the search strings people have used to get to the sites.

Reading the table of search strings gives a feeling of how weird the internet can be sometimes. It seems the most popular way by far to stumble across my site is to enter “1.618” into google and then read all the way through to the bottom of page 4 of the results. Can this be right? And how many people are disappointed not to find a comprehensive review of Gibbs Reflective cycle or Wenger’s address book. Some of the searches link to Frankie’s linguistics degree, can you guess which ones?

For the month of June to date it looks like this:
