Pubic Lice: Geeknews To The Rescue?
I use Google analytics and check it out from time to time, I periodically monitor referrer logs, once in a while I check the WordPress stats to ensure everything appears to be hunky dory and for the most part this site just hangs in their on cruise control until the host provider screws up. I usually don’t react to what I see in the logs unless a particularly popular article is trending towards hitting my bandwidth limit for the month.
But a few weeks ago I noticed an innocuous referrer search query of “Pubic Lice” that sent some poor soul to Geeknews, probably in hopes of a salve or other cure for their ailment.
Then there were a few more, and a few dozen more queries for days after that. Yesterday, ‘pubic lice’ related queries accounted for the #3 and #8 most referred search queries since Jan1.
Sidebar: The #1 query’s keywords is also interesting but baffling to me since there’s no way I’m high enough on the returned search lists for people to click through to Geeknews. But I’ll discuss that later.
Hmm.
I already knew the page they were hitting, in fact I knew without having to dig it out of the analysis logs. I had posted something almost one year ago called ‘How Do You Get Crabs From A Gorilla?‘ , it had a wonderful pic of a bug that just grossed out the wife to no end, its topic was of course pubic lice and how it relates to our human ancestors. Go ahead and satisfy your curiosity by checking out the page, I understand, the picture is worth a quick click over.
What am I going to do about it? Nothing.
Though maybe putting in an advert like this one for eliminating the pest wouldn’t be such a bad idea, what do you think? This is assuming that they have a problem.

Just put in a reference to bug repellent… isn’t it one of the treatment of that?
I too have such a problem, I refer to my wife as “Wifey” on my blog… It brings all kind of people looking for her “World” apparently…
Could you imagine trying to find a way to monetize that word?
Hmm. Sounds like an interesting challenge actually: get a collection of blog owners together, pick an obscure word or phrase and see who can generate the most number of hits to their site or generate more revenue just from that word/phrase.
