How to Find Us
The demographic makeup of the Barnstorming readership remains a mystery to me. The recent Niles/Dwight contest flushed a few stealth readers out of hiding, but I am still left to wonder just who is digesting these words and what it is they take away from the experience.
I recently consulted the tracking software that is included with our hosting service and learned that the following phrases were all among the top ten search strings that led Web surfers to the Barnstorming site this past week.
1) girl or woman fast metabolism
2) kirk cameron peeing contest
3) emily piendak
4) pictures of clydesdales
5) number of chipotle combinations are possible
6) barn yard sex
I am, of course, delighted when I read this list. What it means to me is that the Barnstorming readership is a far more lively bunch than I had previously imagined. I sit here musing, wondering how each of these phrases relate to the content.
1) Clearly Robbi is the girl or woman with a fast metabolism. Have you seen her eat ice cream? Oboy.
2) As for good old Kirk Cameron, he was here last week and did challenge me to a peeing contest. I hadn't remembered writing about that here, but the tracking software must have a sort of uber-consciousness of all things happening about the barn, even those that are yet unchronicled.
3) Emily Piendak? This one puzzles me. The name sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Must be an error.
4) "Pictures of cyldesdales" makes sense. Iggy closely resembles a clydesdale with her powerful legs and tendency to pull carts through the scenic countryside.
5) "Number of Chipotle combinations are available"? As far as I'm concerned, there is only one Chipotle combination: carnitas burrito with black beans, corn and tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese, and guac. But there must be others. At least seven others, I'd guess.
6) Barn yard sex? That's some racy stuff. Not sure how it relates to our content, but by repeating the phrase, I'm sure to draw even more inadvertent traffic to the site. (Barn yard sex.) Which is my ultimate goal. (Barn yard sex.) Soon I'll be able to convince Crest to start sponsoring toothpaste advertisement, the sure sign of having "arrived" as a blog.
