Analytics Says: Fluffy White Clouds

I use clicky.com for my analytics program, which is a really fun way to waste time and see how many hits you get on your blog, and from where and whence they come. Every single day, and I will repeat that for some serious emphasis, every single day, at least five people in the world come to my blog after a google search for something in the ballpark of "fluffy white clouds" or "blue sky white clouds" or "pretty clouds." Apparently I come up first in the google image search because of this post about my airplane phobia. And these visitors come from all over the globe. Take today, for instance. Searches for beautiful white cloud photos brought me visitors from Paris, Melbourne, Latvia, three separate cities in Romania, and the Philippines. The moral of this story: if you want to increase your blog traffic, post a lot of fluffy cloud pictures. Like this lovely one from photographer Jordan McClements:


Hi cloud searchers! Grab a cup of tea and stay awhile. And then go visit this site, because its his photo and he has lots of other beauties.

Thanks for using this photo.

It is one of my most popular pictures, and has probably brought at least 100,000 visitors to my site!

At least you don't have visitors come after googling "enema" and "spank me". Those are my number one key words.

Isn't looking at traffic fun, though? Love the picture.
