Just recently this here blog has begun to scare me a little. On an almost daily basis now someone finds el blog via an “encrypted search term”.
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
I have NO idea, but it scares the bejaysus out of me me a little.
Are the government spying on me? Have I randomly written some tenacious phrase that has sent alarm bells ringing in GCHQ? Am I now one of MI5’s most watched?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
On reflection, I am pretty sure it is none of the above and actually down to some nerdy computer-speak that I am thus-far unaware of.
However, some people have come across this blog via the most random of search terms.
Here are some of my favourites the weirdest.
1. How to keep your man happy
This one really makes me laugh, but I reckon Mr B would laugh even harder. I cynically wrote a post with a title that I was assured would do great with the search engines. It did. I get hits from this every week.
2. Fecking.
Hmmmmm. Who found me via this? Own up. Bet you were a bit disappointed when you got here hey? I can only assume this is down to my particular hatred of birthdays.
3. Pink vest silver trim Jennifer
It is the Jennifer at the end of this one that REALLY freaks me out. I will be looking over my shoulder when out running from now on. If you are stalking me…STOP IT NOW, I AM ON TO YOU!
4. How to kill your husband and get away with it.
Ok, so I really have no idea how this links up to any of my posts. Honest. Maybe this is why they are watching me?
5. What does Mum of One mean?
No less than five of you found me by asking this question this month alone. I am sorry. Half the time I have no idea what I mean either.
This post was entirely inspired by the most brilliant of bloggers, The Laughing Housewife. She regularly updates us readers on how we may have stumbled across her blog. She is just brilliant. Go follow her now.
I mean it.
Remember I DO know how to kill you and get away with it.
Apparently.

That is weird! I can imagine MI5 reading your blog and asking themselves what is it that you are trying to say in your blog…..trying to decipher the ‘code’! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! How are you getting on?
*Pops over.*
Little Miss says
People google what does ‘mum of one’ mean?! Surely it means a mum of one?
How to kill you husband and get away with it – brilliant! Better hide that on your computer history when he suddenly hits the deck!

See, I really wouldn’t make a very good master criminal.

Be afraid … be very afraid. I hate it when something pops up we don’t know about. The other day I researched my name and up popped my voting regristration details. Anyone can get this and know who I’m married to and my address. Scary.
jbmumofone says
Really, that is very scary!
The Laughing Housewife says
You are so fecking scary (that’ll bump up the searches) that I immediately subscribed to my own blog!
Thanks for the mention 🙂
jbmumofone says
You are very welcome! And well done for following my orders, I could get used to this.

Some search engines don’t pass on the text info when someone finds your blog on them. I think you do this on Google by going to https:// rather than http://
Fret not!
Someone once found my blog by searching ‘Hitler north pole’.
jbmumofone says
Did Hitler go to the North Pole?
How do you know all this stuff?

The Internet answers to no one. Except Google.

Mahahaha, very true
purplemum says
I love looking at the search terms for my blog. I have a fair amount of pixie/fairy related ones (can’t imagine why).
jbmumofone says
I CANNOT think why *whistles*, you are my favourite purple pixie. Dinner soon?
Aunt J-me says
Omg! You had me laughing so loud that hubby dearest told me I have to read it to him bc he felt left out.
