Looking for Me?

March 8, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat16 Comments

Incidentally, this is NOT an amazing cat toy.

I’ve noticed that a lot of humans are obsessed with the number of visitors who come by their blogs. They use stat counters and Google Analytics to see who has found them, and which pages they looked at. I’m not all that interested, mainly because these stat counters do not differentiate between cat visits and human visits — and I only care about how many cats visit my blog. But I was kind of curious to see what kind of search phrases, or keywords, visitors use to find me, so I had my human check it out.

Here are some searches that may brought you to my blog:

sparkle the cat
Fair enough. Entering that into Google is a pretty good way to find me.

sparkle cat collar
Hm. I don’t like this one so much. I tend to think collars are evil. And after Binga got her name tag stuck in the heater grating and my human had to undo her collar to free her, she agreed and just let us rely on our microchips.

cat collars for humans
Yessss! Make them wear the darn things.

designer cat trees
Ah, that’s even better! Designer cat trees are definitely a good thing. In fact, I wish a designer cat tree would find me, instead of just a human (or cat) looking for one.

cat trees made from real trees
Another winning idea! What I want to know is why do visitors find my site using this phrase, when I don’t have my own cat tree made from a real tree? It’s unfair, I tell you!

do cats like kisses
I am happy to report that this search phrase led this particular visitor to an advice column of mine that definitively answers, “no.”

cat rules for humans
A very wise human must have used that search. Either that, or a cat with a not-so-wise human.

cat pirate ship
Sorry guys, but you can’t have mine!

amazing cat toys
I’d certainly like an amazing cat toy… how sad to know that searching on that phrase would likely just bring me right back to my own website.

pro declawing
I’m proud to say that this search brought the visitor straight to my article entitled, “There’s No Such Thing as a Pro-Declaw Kitty.” Idiot.

human manipulation
I’m 99% positive a cat did that search.

    Ooo, I have a good one! My human bean looked up my searches, and one of them was danielle’s life as a ninja. I must make the impurression of being a ninja! MOL!

    @John Hey, a hairy caterpillar is a good thing! In fact, I’d like to munch on one right now!

    I just checked my stats (using Google Analytics) but no funny search terms. Just stuff like “hairy caterpillar” and “what is the second thing in a cave formation?”.

    These were funny! The comments were funny, too. I haven’t looked at keywords in a long time. Maybe I should!

    I don’t look at stats, although I would be curious to see what brings them to the Duck and Wheel. I’m almost afraid though!

    I’m sorry, Sparkle–I make my kitties wear their collars (snap away ones!) outside so people don’t think they are strays. I have replaced so many collars that I know they work. I am always threatening Grace to write a children’s book called “Grace of a thousand collars”. She loses them ALL the time. Ugh.

    I like to look at the searches, too. Here are some funny ones I had this week:

    cold grumbly faces
    models with purple hair
    “I am scary skeleton”
    i am a horsie
    cats with plague
    goats with braids

    Sometimes the searches make me feel a little bit nervous…

    Please would you sign and pass on our petition to get declawing banned:
    http://www.petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=4312
    We are educating as many people as possible to the cruelty of declawing but as we can’t reach every cat owner the only way to stop it is by having it made illegal.

    We agree with Beaded Tail, hope that mean person didn’t go for the declawing.

    That’s so interesting. I am sure the last one is done by a cat too. 🙂

    Great idea on the search. And we hate kisses too. So no one would find us by putting in kisses. We don’t care about the humans searching for us either, we just want the cats to come visit. And some doggies or maybe a donkey or two. A goat would be fun to have too. Have a great week Sparlkle
