When I look over the Google Analytics for this blog, I look for anomalies. Right now, ANY VISIT to the blog is something of an anomaly, so I study them all and try to figure out the where/why/how of that visit. Yesterday’s post and comments are not so much an experiment as they are the logical conclusion of some actual deductive effort.
Something that was great about the comments yesterday was learning how the companies I mentioned (and I did mention them PURPOSELY as bait, to get proof of my theory) used Google Alerts to monitor blog posts and news about themselves.
This morning, after looking at Google Analytics (because of an experiment my friend RT ran last night), I’m finding new direct visitors to the site many from Europe, and the biggest anomaly, visits from Slovenia. I know nothing about Slovenia, so now I am going to read up… and try to figure out what interest someone from there would have in my ramblings.
