I Am Disappointing


I just added a site meter to my blog. Is that the correct way to say it? Or do I simply say I added site meter since that is the name of the metric?
Maybe it's like Kleenex.
Anyway, I am fascinated by the data it provides. I had recently noticed a spike in my profile views and wondered what that meant to my overall number of site visits. I had thought I was getting visits mostly from the 2 or 3 friends who knew the blog existed or perhaps others who happened to come across the site through Blogger. I didn't think that number would ever be much more than 15 or 20. I guessed most people who visit the site do not check the profile so that an increase in profile views would mean a dramatic increase in overall hits. I don't have any data for visits prior to the 21st but since then I have discovered that people are stumbling upon this site looking for pornography.
The odd thing is, if you're looking for porn, there is nothing in the description of the blog that suggests I would have what you are looking for. No hot young babes, no free porn, no celebs exposed anywhere in the web results description. Still people doing specific searches for "heartbeat babes movies" thought my blog was worth a visit.
I appreciate the visits. I think I appreciate more that if they read the relevant post they may have been shamed into not finishing their search.

Hey. I came across your blog from the Prism ePistle. Someone noted your blog in it one week

If it helps, I came across your blog after reading about Elena Dorfman and her book "Still Lovers". Out of curiousity, I did a search for the dolls that are referenced, and your site comes up.
