This isn't just a food blog.

I never meant for this to turn into a food blog, and I don't feel that it has. But looking at the keywords that are bringing some visitors here, I am starting to wonder:

	Num	Search Engine	Query	Landing Page
	1	AOL	shrimp curry	2004/10/shrimp_curry_or.html
	1	Yahoo !	recipe blogs	2004/08/easy_recipe_of_.html
	1	Yahoo !	briskit recipe crock	2004/08/easy_recipe_of__1.html
	1	Google	cream candy	2004/12/kentucky_cream_.html
	1	AOL	tilapia	2004/11/

I'm glad that searchers are apparently finding useful information when they visit. I just wish they would comment, or email if they find what they are looking for.

Oh, there was one other search in my logs that I didn't list above. I don't think it was food related, and I'm not quite sure what to think of it:

No. I don't think that was food related at all. And I hope they didn't find what they were looking for here.

Since I have participated in the Carnival of Recipes, my food related keywords have increased.

Do you use any tracking software? I use a few, that are free, to get various information. But Stat Counter is great since it tracks visitor paths. So you can see who click to your site from their search and then what pages they visited after that. The only drawback is the free service only logs the last 100 entries, so it does not keep a long history. I don't know what your hits are, but I look every 4-5 days and get what I want from it.

I'm using StatCounter here Amy. That's where these stats came from.

The whole world wants celery stilton soup. Or carrot ginger soup. Hits from every continent and at least 25 different countries. Not that I check my stats or anything like that. I mean, I don't want to get all geeky about it like Alison or anything.

Heh, I am WAY less geeky than Allan about it.
