I was just going over my site logs and I've noticed that a lot of people are visiting me because they can't spell.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not making fun of these people. In fact if anything I am making fun of myself. I don't spell check my blog. I post everything raw... so I have a ton of spelling errors, not to mention run on sentences and other gramatical nightmares, the kinds of theengs that would drive an english teacher bonkers, what was I writing about, oh yeah, that this site is full of boo-boobs.
But, it turns out that some of my traffic comes to me as a result of people making the same spelling mistakes when they search in google (my top referrer).
I read a list of tips somehwere that talked about increasing the readership of your blog. One of them was to check for spelling and grammer. I would say that this is a good suggestion - but one that I'm not going to pay any attention to. Not for this site anyway. This site (for the time being) is mainly for my own amusement - and it amuses me more not filtering my content before I broadcast it. And it amuses me to see how people are finding me... even if they can't spell.
