Sitemeter.com is a Great Service!





You may have noticed the small sitemeter icon that appears in my blog. Sitemeter.com is a great service - even the free account, which is what mine is (why buy the cow when you get the milk for free.)
It will give you amazing statistics about your website and detailed information about how people found it. For instance:
----------------------------------
Referring URL
http://www.google.co...F46tnE8SX9q5kzu1s79g
Search Engine
google.com
Search Words
"brainworms" "kissimmee"
----------------------------------
This snippet from sitemeter shows that this blog visitor found my blog by searching Google for "brainworms" "kissimmee". Then they clicked on that Google result and went to my blog.
Sitemeter is pretty damn good - especially considering it's free!

Some Interesting Words Seen on Googlewhack.com

If you like words and want to find new ones that are interesting and strange, googlewhack.com is a great source. Took a look today and found these:

tumblehome: The inward curve of a ship's topsides.

medusahead: A grass (Taeniatherum caput-medusae) with long bristly awns that is native to Europe and has become naturalized in western North America.

punditocracy: A group of pundits who wield great political influence.

micromicro: One-trillionth.

What's even more interesting is seeing what words Google considers "real" words (and thus legal for making googlewhacks) and what words aren't legit. For instance, "biologists" isn't in the Google dictionary, but "scuzzbuckets" is.

It appears that something needs some tweaking.

The Easiest Word to Form Googlewhcks

It's got to be "protohumen". It whacks with scads of common words. In fact, if you try to join it with too weird a word it often ends up being a word list and the googlewhack won't be allowed on googlewhack.com. Two googlewhacks I found easily found today: psycho protohumen and protohumen listings.
