Funny Keywords and Phrases people use on Search Engines
By Franklyn Gallup of WoodFloorist.com
Sometimes I really have to laugh at the keywords and Phrases people use to find my website. I would like to share some samples and add a little comment about their search. Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments. My website provides me with the top 100 keywords and phrases used each and every day. Today someone searched on Google for wood worn magic hardwood floor First off I would like you to know I do not or have I ever installed a magic hardwood floor. I imagine it must be like a magic carpet. Next someone searched on Google for wwwod floor maintenance I love it when people stutter on Google. Next someone searched for on Google for how do you spell crown moulding This to me is kinda like searching for what color is the White House and I am sure there are poor souls who search for that too. Someone then searched on Google for cheapest goldfish in durham Boy you know times are really tough when someone is out price shopping for goldfish. I hope they are not searching for food. And those were just today. Yesterday someone searched on Google for cow & political terms Now here's a farmer looking to run for political office. I hope he brings a shovel with him and his high boots if he is elected. Another search on Yahoo was goats sale california milking nubian alpine lamancha Apparently the farmer is a goat farmer in California. Come to think of it that might be an improvement of the politics in California. On Google someone did a search for dmc delorean 2008 Someone lost their time machine AGAIN. |

It sounds crazy but those search terms were probably used by robots.
One of my sites Costa-classified-ads.com suddenly started receiving masses of traffic and shot up the Alexa rankings as a result. It got to 420,000 before I did a little investigating.
I found all sorts of wierd keywords so decided to install a little robot detector. The site had 14 blogs and they were being used by robots to develop backlinks - since blocking the bots the site is now at a more realistic 655,912 and falling. When the three month Alexa cycle is completed I expect the site to resume its more pedestrian level of 1,500,000.
Since blocking the bots my band width consumption has fallen from 8Gb to 500Mb per month.
Oh,I love it! You are soooooooooo right. The thing is, we try to tag and meta tag out sites logically (the same with our articles). But there's no telling what people out there are interested about. Maybe we have to adjust?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
I have always thrown some illogical tagging into my websites along with the logical tagging . It produces some interesting and sometimes funny results. I just thought I would share a few.
How funny! Cows and politics! A great mix -- but usually we associate the bull with politics more than the cow!
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
The California farmer may be on to something there. Replacing all the bull with cows would be a refreshing change.
Its crazy and really funny indeed! I'm not a SEO expert but I know some are using these keywords and enjoy some really good traffic with them and can get good ranking as well for some really weird ones. People make all kind of mistakes during a search. Thanks for sharing.
Light, but very true, Franklyn. Misspelled words and half phrases can generate business.
Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes.

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Thanks for the comment.
Interesting Intel Thanks
I love your sign showing why the chicken was confused! My blog has an idiotic name, but it is easy to find in the search engines 
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
That street sign is near my brother's farm near Trumansburg, New York. I thought it was funny.
I had a friend that uses misspelled words and phrases and says he gets lots or traffic.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
These are some of the misspelled words I use: Wurds, Whirds, Werds, Whurds, Wherds, and Wereds. Of course I need to add them as Korrectly
Sphelled words on my Shell Chexker. Just kidding.
Interesting.
Are you made aware of the searches that people attempt from FreeFind or somehow else ?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
My host gives me stats on the keywords used on any search engine, top referral urls when my link appears on a forum, traffic exchange, or profile. I often find out that people are talking about my air force test game on forums in languages other than English. AirForceTester.com
Never mind if robots or humans are responsible for such funny browser searches.
Publish them more often and we are all going to live a long healthy life by laughing so much... You made my day and I wish I had read your Intel on funny keywords and phrases many hours ago instead of late at night. I remember a French president when he let himself be photographed with farm life during his election campaign. As farmers were unhappy and often on strike then, this helped him much at the polls. Mind a farmer president might be better than a cowboy president. =:) Besides rural is part of green. Green is in.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Today someone searched on Google for hardwoof flooring diagonally with border Maybe searching for a floor for the doghouse of a border collie.
Fantasy is needed to get the best as well as fun out of the Internet, such as search phrases. Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Aside from a smattering of unintended typos and misspellings, I've only used (intentionally) odd/misspelled keywords/phrses a few times. It bugs me that people think that I don't know how to spell.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
woodfloorist is not really a word In fact floorist isn't a word but one I made up. I wish I had just 1% of what ToysRUs nets a year. I personally don't care if people don't think I can spell. Make no mistake about it I know how to market!!
