What Were They Thinking?
Being my own systems administrator, one of the things that I like to do is browse my server logs. Most of the time I see traces of some bot feebly trying to exploit my server. But one thing that provides me with mild entertainment is seeing what search terms lead people to my site.
The top search term usually has something to do with the show What’s With Andy, a Canadian cartoon that was on the air between 2001-2007. To this day I have no idea why people click on my page when they’re looking for the show. You can clearly see from the google description that this site has nothing to do with some obscure cartoon. Many of these hits come from eastern Europe or a country in the former USSR. My guess is that they’re showing reruns of the show in these far off, former communist countries, and the viewers don’t know enough English to realize that my page doesn’t have anything to do with what they’re actually looking for. Because so many people click on my page from this search term, it is now number two in google page ranking.
But today I came across the most interesting search term I have ever seen. Someone wound up on this page with the search term “full-size sex robot.” Really?
Two things come to mind:
- What the hell?
- Why did you click on my page for this search?
Does this site really resemble a sex shop that much? Is the title of my page “Andy Online, purveyor of fine sexbots”?
Some things I will never understand.

Wow. That guy must have been 100 pages into Google before finding your site. Unless you’ve got something in your source code you don’t want to tell us about…

My best guess is that it matched the phrase “full sized sex doll” from my Lars and the Real Girl review. Why my page was clicked, I’ll never know.

Should we just keep saying sex in the comments to make it continue to show up in the search engine? Sexy sexy sex.
