Voodoo Time Dot Com

I was just going through my traffic statistics. I do so from time to time just to check and see if I’ve become popular yet. I also check to see the search strings that lead people to this site.

For those of you who do not run your own websites, everytime you visit Yahoo, Google, or wherever, and do a search, that search text is sent to the page you end up visiting. For example, if you go to Google and type “time dot com”, this page is currently the number one result. And if you click on the link, I will see, in my web traffic stats, that someone visited the page by searching for “time dot com”. Usually the searches range from ordinary to slightly odd. But this time, I found something I just had to share with the group.

Some poor soul has found this site by searching for voodoo remedies for diarrhea. And while I question the relevance, this site shows up on the first page of results. At first I thought that search text was pretty funny. Now I think it’s pretty sad. Some poor person is probably dealing with diarrhea so powerful and relentless, that he/she is searching for anything to relieve it. Or perhaps the person suffers from Voodoo Diarrhea, the tragic result of a powerful voodoo curse.

So, unknown visitor, I wish you the best of luck in your crusade. As for the rest of us, let us take this moment to give thanks that we are not afflicted with Voodoo Diarrhea.
