I've been asked to introduce a new feature. It's called "The Search Engine Keyword Report."

 

 

This is the deal: When you find a site through a search engine like Google or Yahoo, the webmaster can see what keywords you entered to get there. Meaning, Echo knows what you were looking for when you showed up somewhere on echosphere.net.

 

 

 

 

Because we have to assume that no one actually shows up here because they want to hear fictional characters spout pithy made-up observations about the minutiae of popular culture.

That's what Quentin Tarantino movies are for.

*pokes Stipe with a stick*

Get on with it!

 

 

 

 

Right. So anyway, most of the terms are unexciting and predicatable, such as:

U2 slash fiction, U2 humor, live journal icons, echosphere

 

 

 

 

However, occasionally you get some far out ones: Today, people found this site by Googling for "girls gone wilde" and "notes on houseboy."

Okay, can I just say in my defense that the word "houseboy" appears nowhere on my site.

 

 

The person I feel the most sorry for is the poor bastard who searched for "girls gone wilde." I mean, all he wanted was to buy a video compilation of naked-titty footage, and instead he gets this.
