dragonlady7

It's a while since I've looked at my webserver usage stats or server logs. So i was poking through the stat pages my host provides. Those things are such a riot. One of my favorite things to do is to see what search term people used to find my site.
For August, one of the top ten was (no quotes): "I heart boobs."
Nice.

Interestingly, for the month of September (thusfar), I've much higher stats than average, and for the first time in the history of my personal site (not livejournal, but my own url-- bridget.kelly.name), it seems that the traffic from people who actually know me or know of me by reputation is higher than the traffic from random searchers. Just going by the referrers. And a lot of my top search strings actually include my name, my handle (I use dragonlady7 on a lot of web communities), or various other search terms indicating that I am indeed the person that the searcher was hoping to find. There's even a search of my site.

The sheer quanitity of people who are finding me on irrelevant search terms just goes to remind me that I really ought to reorganize my site. Also, I ought to come up with a consistent navigation and actually apply it-- I have all these lovely photo galleries that have no site navigation on them, and so you can get *to* them from my site but you can't get back to my site *from* them, unless you're good at URL truncation and guess lucky.

I've been meaning to redesign the site since I put it up in November. Sigh.

I'd do it today, but I think I'm going to be trying to find a job today, don't you think?
