Based on the top Google searches that brought stray readers here today, there would be zillions of visitors to any post that referred to:<\/p>\n

* morris dancers or morris dancing
\n * schwarzenegger
\n * adam curtis or charlie brooker
\n * quiche gay
\n * chip 666
\n * fine art
\n * castle with a moat or fairytale castle
\n * Viking names
\n * 5 fruit and veg a day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These searches do actually reach posts – usually from long ago. Sometimes I have to search this site myself, to find any post relating to a weird search term, because the idea that some particular searches brought anyone here seems inherently unlikely. <\/p>\n

If we’d known that we’d hit the popularity motherlode with these topics, maybe we should have had the foresight to make the target posts more interesting.<\/p>\n

I’m taking the opposite tack and using these words – nay, even tagging with them – just for the comedic satisfaction of seeing the number of hits go through the roof today. I.e., a day when there is no actual content in the post.<\/p>\n

So, sorry, if you came here because of one of these search terms. Just think of yourself as taking part in a non-peer-reviewed experiment with the nature of internet “popularity.” Without any analysis of the results, either. But then, this experiment won’t give rise to any spurious pseudo-science or pseudo-consultation in the media, so it’s all good.<\/p>\n
