Searching...and finding...me

Sometimes when I scan my statistics, I get a lot of "unknown" or direct finds. Frequently, it looks like people found me primarily through clicking the "next blog" button; I can't see any pattern between me, a Portuguese 12-year-old's blog and a housewife from Singapore.

Then there are days like today, when nearly all the searches over the past week have been ... weird:
  • new catalogue for winter clothes women's for shopping for now 2006+2007 [I'm not on any of the first five search pages for this in Yahoo; someone really dug down on this one!]
  • Theme paper and Tim O'Brien and In the Lake of the Woods [also not in the top 100 Yahoo hits for this]
