Web stats amuse me. With the caveat that just over 50% of my website's traffic is of unknown origins (so if the numbers are representative, they should, on average, be doubled) and that my traffic is very, very low (so the numbers probably don't scale so straightforwardly)— I have had a bunch of hits from the US, Canada, and Sweden, not surprisingly, but also 55 hits from Germany, 53 from Australia, and 21 from Peru, of all places. And who, I wonder, is looking at petterhaggholm.net from the Seychelles, Yugoslavia, or Syria? And what were they looking for? About 56% of the hits were direct requests, but the rest is a very long-tailed distribution including various search engines.

I didn't have any very comical search strings this month, alas, but two are kind of remarkable to me. The biggest is Tales from the Boobie Bar, simply because my links page mentions this blog. If you search Google for that string, my links page is the top result. The blog itself is not on the first few pages of results at all. What the hell is with that? The other peculiar search string is the first harbinger, which actually seems fairly specific, and I wonder who searched for it.
