Cheesy Tots and Search Engines
Recently, I signed up with Sitemeter, with the promise that I would get some interesting and potentially useful statistics about visitors to my site. The cost was fantastic (FREE), and all I had to do in exchange was place a small icon on my site, linking back to Sitemeter. (They do have paid plans as well, that I imagine give you even more goodies, but I figured I'd start out with the freebie and see how it goes.) Well, it's been about twelve days since I signed up, and I have to be honest -- that's just about the best zero cents I've ever spent in my life. Really, when I think of all the other things I could've bought with that zero cents... It just starts my head to spinnin'...
Read more...All seriousness aside, it really is pretty cool. I've learned some very interesting things about my site. First of all, where I rank with the major search engines. If you search on "Jim McKee", you'll get the following results:
YAHOO: I am the 41st result.
GOOGLE: 3rd result.
MSN: Result # 1. BOO-YAH!
(NOTE: These rankings may change from day to day. A couple of days ago, I was # 9 on Yahoo.)
So, for these wonderful search engine results, I would like to thank everyone that reads my humble writings on this site, and a special thank-you to those who link back to me (see "The Gold Team" in the sidebar).
Ah, but that's not all I discovered in the Sitemeter stats. No, it's gets even more interesting...
When searching on "cheesy tots", this site is # 2 on Google and # 24 on MSN. (Oddly enough, on Yahoo, I ranked WAYYYYY far down on a search for "cheesy tots". I mean not even in the top 300. I have no clue what caused this apparent anomaly.)
CHEESY TOTS.
I'm stunned. Actually, I don't know what floors me more: That I rank so high on a Web search for cheesy tots, or that so many people actually search for information on cheesy tots in the first place.
I'm not sure if such a high search engine ranking means that I'm on the way to becoming the default spokesperson for cheesy tots, but if so, then I accept the responsibility with all the solemnity due the title.
Yeah, right.

mmmm, cheesy tots. Um, seriously, what? I mean, I'm a huge fan of cheese and I'd have to say this is the first time I've even seen those two words together.
I have sitemeter too. I gotta check out my stats more closely. Hmmm...
Jami, Burger King used to sell cheesy tots... they were like tater tots that had been injected with cheese. Check out this post for more details.
I personally use [insert name of site thingo here] which has a map of the world and shows where people are visiting your site from. I find it quite mesmerising, but then again I'm quite a simple young man.
ClusterMaps, thats it. I knew it had something to do with clusters and NOT cheesy tots.
Now they have these things called Mac and Cheese bites - they are mac and cheese encased in dough and deep fried. I couldn't believe when I saw it, so of course I had to try them. Yummy.
don't believe it. it's just a bunch of numbers.
Here is a deedeedeeee question. How and where do you install the site meter? I am totally retarded when it comes to these things.
