In the leadup to the 2011 census to be held on August 9th, the Australia Bureau of Statistics have created a tool to see how we each stacked up against each other in 2006. Mine is what you see below.

I’ve been using Google Analytics for a while now, using it to track my blog statistics so I know what pages are popular, how people are finding my site etc. Sometimes the results can be the funniest thing, especially when it’s something you didn’t expect.
For example, one of the regular top keywords leading to my site is:
big day out boobs
That’s DEFINITELY not something I ever thought would be a major traffic source to my site. It all stems from my review of 2009′s “Big Day Out” festival on the Gold Coast. Contrary to what the keywords might have you believe, boobs was not a big thing for me. In fact, the term “boobs” only appears when discussing Bullet for my Valentine’s lead singer asking all the women to flash him, and my subsequent curiosity on the world record for most boobs flashed at one time.
Some other keywords that make me giggle:
Yep, I write about some random stuff!
The most popular page on my entire blog isn’t even my homepage. It’s a review that I did on a new coffee machine we bought at work, the Saeco Modo Mio. In fact, to give you an idea of just how popular the page is, it’s the third link on google if you do a search for Saeco Modo Mio. If you search for Saeco Modo Mio review, it’s the FIRST link! Incredible. If I got paid for every single hit on that page, I’d have a lot of money (not exactly rich, but stoked with all the money I was getting).
Sometimes the attention you get is from the most unexpected means. Perhaps I’ll write a random post on donkeys, see how many hits I get on that. If I add boobs in there somewhere, I’m sure it will be a hit!
