If, like me, you keep an eye on your web stats and check to see what search phrases people are using to end up on your site, I'm sure you've found a few odd ones along the way (usually not 'real' traffic - ie potential customers - just 'odd' searches from people who end up briefly on your site).

I've just had such a visitor (from the US) who searched on Yahoo:-

"i own my own pa system ,cd etc can i play them in public and not get paid for it"

Really succinct and to the point! What's their next search? The entire text of War & Peace?!?!?! ...and I can't help wondering what on earth he/she's doing!

:lol:

Anyone else had any doozies?

Having done a quick check on the last couple of years webstats, the most unusual search terms which included my own website in the results were:

1) Why should we book you?
2) Copyright 2005 2010
3) For more information
4) qq
5) We are not having any flooring in our marquee will it cause a problem
6) How much power for a disco 350 people
7) How much do I charge to cater

2.) Clinical Presentation of SJS (...WTF? lol :D )
3.) Performing Rights For Mobile Discos
4.) Who Are ProDub? (...Sometimes I wish I thought the same! :D )

I think I can hazard a fairly educated guesss at that one. They want to provide the music for a wedding/barmitzvah/barn raising, and they're worried it's illegal. Hence the " not get paid " .

As to the way you lot can tell who's been looking at your site, and what they asked to find you, well some days I feel really dim. :o :o :o :o

Borderline dodgy ... but what the heck

My strangest hit was from the search term

Isle of Wight dogging venues :p



I'm guessing (hoping) that "Isle" "Wight" and "Venues" featured strongly enough to warrant the click :eek: :D

Now, if this thread doesn't get edited, MDD will show up for this very search term in the next couple of days :D :D :D

Cheers Dave :)
