Search stringsWhere did you come from? How do you get to the Paste Magazine site? I'm afraid the answer to these questions - and more - can be found in the server logs, an automtic record of how people arrived at the Paste site, which pages they looked at, and how long they stayed. Big Brother really is watching you - at least while you are surfing the Internet. Perhaps the most interesting information, however, can be found in the list of genuine search strings that somehow led people to the Paste magazine site. A selection of some of the most amusing from the last couple of months are listed below. Somehow, I don't think we were quite what they were looking for some of the time... (and I promise these are all genuine).
Oh, and I had to add this one from November 2002: "her sweaty socks in my face". Hmm. Well, I'm not quite sure that Paste (the magazine at least) was what that person was looking for in that case either. I tried entering that string in google (without the quotes) and sure enough, sandwiched between (so to speak) a couple of, ahem, adult search results, on the second page of results is Joe Sinclair's "The Lecture Theatre". There's nothing like searching for some quality writing on the Internet, now is there? I thought I would include a screen shot of the statistics that are provided to me by the company that host Paste Magazine, just to prove that I am not making this up. I notice that "Brain surgeon's salary" is in there again. Must be the current wintery economic climate or something. No sign of some of the usual names in there this month so far, but there's at least two names in there that correspond to a couple of the authors published in these very pages. I wouldn't have said that they were particularly common names either. Update: January 2003. Paste Magazine: the official cock teaser home page. |
