Many bloggers write about the strange and surprising ways they get traffic from search engines. Google Analytics lets bloggers see which search terms are bringing traffic to their websites, and how many visitors these search terms are producing.

Boing Boing recently published a sampling of interesting search terms that people typed into Google as an immediate prelude to visiting their website. Their #41 most popular recent search term is what english sounds like to foreigners.

Jodi from Fix your Broken Marketing asks:

What is Google “thinking” when it sent people here who typed “free construction contractor letterhead template with a hammer” or “how to stop brain thieves.”

One was almost like blank verse, “appreciate beauty with others affection/resist domination by others/emulate the admirable/acquire or collect things.”

The Bloggess is not happy with Google sending her visitors searching for "I'm awesome" related terms:

Okay, first of all? I’ve never said “I’m awesome. What should I do” in my entire life and secondly, WHY IS IT MISSPELLED SO MANY TIMES? If you can’t spell “I’m” correctly then you probably aren’t that awesome. Just a thought. And I don’t know what you should do or why you would even ask me. Maybe invest in spellcheck. It couldn’t hurt.

What are YOUR strangest analytics results?
