It’s 1 o’clock in the morning, and I have an important project due in tomorrow, so obviously I chose to trawl through all the ultra-detailed stats about my website. I find that I had nine visitors yesterday, that 10% of my recent visitors were from France (eh?!), and that one poor sod tried to view my site at a resolution of 800×600. Someone with a computer that outdated was a worth a closer look, and it turns out they’re from the Indiana University in Bloomington. How did they find my page? With a Google search for ‘caffeine stats’. Try it, without quotes or anything. I’m the top hit! Hooray! How crazy is that?

That made me look a bit closer at the other hits from search engines. There were a few from searches for my name (no suprises there), and also another person from the states looking for stats about caffeine. The only other referral from a search engine was when someone had searched for “kicking wing mirrors”, and been directed to the list of people banned from my site. Why on earth is someone from the University of East Anglia searching for that? One of life’s great mysteries…
