Welsh Blogs Weekly =^..^= Blogiau Cymreig Wythnosol

I’ve been checking out the site stats for welshbandsweekly.com pretty regularly since it launched last year, and it’s a far more interesting exercise than you might imagine.

For example, recently I noticed I was getting a lot of hits from inthemix.com.au.  So I did a bit of investigating and found that it was a forum, where one of their members had posted (or sponged) an image from the WBW site in answer to a question about how to repair brittle hair.  The image in question was the Loo’ll Fix It logo… And the reason that image was being used in a forum thread about brittle hair?  Because someone had searched on Google using the phrase “how to fix dead hair”.  And there at number 3 in the results was this:

As far as Google is concerned, this page on welshbandsweekly.com contains the words “fix” and “dead hair” so it must be relevant; it was in the top 3 results.

Fascinated, I thought I’d investigate some of the other strange search phrases that bring visitors to welshbandsweekly.com.  Here are some of the more intriguing ones:

• tits egyptian
• we all live in a black submarine it used to be yellow
• diarrhoea and eggs
• ’simon le bon’ cock
• jane asher
• how to say i want to have sex with you in welsh
• free legs photos of goldie
• wanky cock arse
• illegal left turn to eden quay from o’connell st
• cerys wetsuit
• robot rape
• “you are a cunt” welsh
• howard would you fancy a bum fuck
• cerys matthews farting
• Countless searches for Howard Marks; quite disturbing is the fact that in the past week alone at least three searches relating to Howard’s children (‘Howard marks and son’, ‘howard marks children’ for example) have brought visitors to welshbandsweekly.com.

So, some pretty fucking strange searches go on in the world, and a lot of them lead visitors to welshbandsweekly.com (I’m still not sure whether that’s a good or bad thing…) 

My favourite, though, has to be this one:

This result came up at position 8 on page one of Google after some poor tatter-arsed soul used the search phrase “bum burns and stings when I go to the loo”.

It’s called ‘piles’ and no, Welsh Bands Weekly doesn’t sell ointment for it.

Til next time
