Actually, the 27th was one of my worst days in August with 12 whole visits... and apparently the search strings "she's 18 and a freshman" and "pitchfork wielder" both find me.

How do those search strings work? For the past 5 months, the string "masturbate" has consistently been number one on my list. With 70 or more searches, too. I think it's just one guy trying to creep me out, or something.

They search the content of your webpage. Google does it.

I've seen a boost with my comic, but I think that's because I've actually started telling people other than members of my immediate family about it...

While I'm here though, a question about the weblogs. It seems that more than half of my "Referrers" are topwebcomics.com/*something*. I don't think my banner is displayed there, as I am nowhere near the top 150. Does anyone else have similar stats?

Oh, and as far as search results go, do you just get a "http://google.com?search=*something*" listed as a referrer, or am I missing something?

If you look at the specific stats for a month on Keenspace's automated logs, you get a list of search strings that found your page.

I've gotten some doozies too, that I already posted on the TWC forum... So far, my creepiest hits came from "Hamtaro Sex" and "Gay Vampire Sex". There was also plenty of dumb "elf/naked/dbz/blahblah" hits.

I hardly have any text on the EOI site because I don't do rants under each and every comic. How do search engines pick up the content of my images if I don't label 'em?

The search strings are right after the referrers list, or at least they are in mine.

And here's one from this month's list:

"midsection or decolletage or thrice or valuate or splintery"

I got:

"Legend of Zelda commerical" - I did one about the old 1986 commercial
"Der kommisar", "Rock me amadeus", and "Vieanna Calling" - All Falco songs
as well as some other odd ones that only had like one hit. For some odd reason I got one from someone looking up "Bible".

Oh, I have the creepiest one:

nobody loves the whiner

That's the only search string I've got... *sniff*

I have lots of referers from http://www.topwebcomics.com/*something* too... But have anyone else noticed when searching your comic name with a search you get some Keenspace -forums you've never even visited on? I got a big list of other Keenspace comic's forums which none of them had a mention of Vegetarinat... Why the heck is that? :o
"The juxtaposition of form and function wherewithin the corpereal embodiment of this one true, sacred, and pure form is simply an antediluvian spectre harking back to the very epitomy of architecture. I find your work striking...it has panged my heart to the basest metals of my soul.

Remember, simplicity, form, and soul are the keys to success in this field."
