apologies to all you Asian fetishists out there

Tonight I looked at the traffic logs for this site for the first time in many, many months and was absolutely shocked to see I’d had between 600 to 800 unique visitors per month for about the past six months. I don’t know nearly that many people, and I’ve done nothing to publicize this blog. It made no sense.

Until I looked at the stats a little more closely. Hmmm… the average visitor stayed less than 30 seconds. Is my site that ugly? Is my writing that awful? My self-esteem plummeted like a broker from a high Wall Street window on Black Friday.

And then I looked at the stats even more closely. Hmmm… I’m getting most of this traffic from Google and Yahoo. And what search string is bringing them here from the search engines?

“thai69.”

See, after we went to Thailand, I built a photo gallery on the site with over 70 pictures… each on its own page… so one of the pages’ filenames is thai69.html, and you can probably guess how it’s gone from there…

Porn-hungry Asian fetishists (or, to be fair, perhaps just porn-hungry Aisans) are searching Google and Yahoo (which gets its search results through Google) and my page is coming up at the top of the list. That’s right:

THIS SITE includes the #1 GOOGLE/YAHOO search ranking for “THAI69.” Woo-hoo!

And a bunch of those pornhounds are just clicking on through to see this image.

Titillating, huh?

got something to say about that?
