What’s More Popular Than Pronouncing Bloczynski?
Pronouncing Bloczynski. That almost sounds like a movie title. You know, Chris should do an autobiography titled Pronouncing Bloczynski, and maybe one day they’ll do a movie version.
Anyway, while “Bloczynski pronounce” was responsible for some search engine traffic yesterday, it got blown out of the water by some search terms on Saturday one would think would be even less likely to be in a search.
By a two to one margin, more people found this blog while searching for “smunpfu piy yjrtr?”
And, by a three to one margin, more people found this blog while searching for “pmau og upi.”
This blog is the top search result for “pmau og upi” and the only search result for “smunpfu piy yjrtr?” Please note that if you go to Google and search for “smunpfu piy yjrtr?” it will ask you if you meant to search for “smwnpf pit yjrtr?” But, there are no search results for that phrase! (At least until Google spiders this post…)
Finding Your Niche
You see, this is why you can’t give up on blogging too soon. Sometimes it can take a while to find your niche. And, I am slowly finding my niche.
As I mentioned before, this blog is (currently) the top search result in Google for “Believe Act Achieve.” I am also the top search result for “pmau og upi” and the only search result for “smunpfu piy yjrtr?”
Oh, and if you go into Google and search for “make $1,000,000 blogging” (without Joe’s famous quotes), guess who is currently the #2 search result?
This blog is currently the #3 search result for “how to make ground round.” And #6 for “silly putty toxicity.”
Who is currently #1 for “weird stuff you can buy on eBay” you ask? Yep, it’s this blog.
Looking for some “vegetarian drunken sailors?” Well, apparently you’ve come to the right place, because this blog is #9 for that.
This is the #1 spot to find a “creepy underwear guy” too. If you like your guys creepy and in their underwear, well, am I going to have to post more images? Don’t rank highly for “britney spears underwear,” but for creepy underwear guy, I shot up right to the top in under two days.
Want to know “how to attract naked chicks?” This blog is the number three search result for that. Are you single and looking to attract a hot naked chick? Well, it’s highly unlikely. Even some movie stars feel uncomfortable shooting scenes while naked, and it’s not likely that you’re going to attract a woman if she feels uncomfortable. So, what you really need to learn is how to attract a hot clothed chick. Maybe I should do a post on that? Probably won’t be as popular a search term as hot naked chick though.
What It All Means
Apparently, this is turning into a porn blog. I blame Doug. And his Flickr babes.
Only kidding. This is NOT going to turn into a porn blog.
No, what this all means is that there are some pretty messed up and disappointed people out there, and I am their king. Apparently.
Are you messed up or disappointed? Or both? If so, welcome home!
The Real Point
The real point is that you’ve got to keep an eye on your stats, but you can’t let the odd and unusual search terms people use to find your blog sidetrack you. But, they can be valuable, if you look at them in the right way.
They offer a lesson in how you can be found. If you’re seeing weird search phrases in your search results, check into them. Study them. Examine your posts that use those phrases.
Then, turn around and use the phrases for which you want to be found in the same way.
As for me, “believe act achieve” is a good term with which to be found. The others are just sort of fun.
Although, maybe I do need to do a post on “how to attract a hot clothed chick.”
As always,
Believe. Act. Achieve!

Just think of all the interesting traffic you’ll receive if I leave the comment, “Naked chicks dig anal bleaching.” Not that I would do that to you. Never!
That’s okay. At least you didn’t mention “Lara Flynn Boyle” or “Jack Nicholson.” That would have made matters worse, especially since that story has never been verified, so far as I know.
I can spell Bloczynski without looking- but that’s because my oldest son’s name is Piekutoski.
“No, what this all means is that there are some pretty messed up and disappointed people out there, and I am their king. Apparently.”
All hail the King!
I just checked my Akismet spam and got three pingbacks from splogs looking for Angelina Jolie, Jamie-Lynn Spears and Britney. What have I brought upon myself…it was just one little paragraph.
I had one looking for Britney Spears pretty quick, I think the same day in fact.
