Sex in Hervey Bay
Right! You can stop your heavy breathing and salivating right now!
This is a serious news story and if I can stop giggling I’ll try and tell you all about it.
If you look down at the bottom of the main page you will see a multi-coloured gizmo. That basically is a counter and it loads whenever someome opens up Hervey Bay Gossip. Its purpose is to record non-identifying information about the person who is looking at the page.
It is provided by a business called Sitemeter and it’s handy to have because it gives us useful information that we can use to develop the site. Among other things it tells us what search terms people have used to find the site.
This morning I was wandering through those details and was looking at the search terms. Much to my surprise I found that someone had accessed the site by typing ’sex in Hervey Bay’ into MSN.
Now search engines can sometimes throw up some unusual results when people search for information and this term certainly brought up some unusual listings for the person who found the Gossip with that search term.
Number two on the MSN result page was a questionaire for backpackers. Number three on the list was information about the dog pound while number four was information about the Pacific Whale Foundation. The Hervey Bay Gossip came in at number 10 for a piece we did on domestic violence.
And did our intrepid searcher find the information he or she was looking for? Who knows … do we really have sex in Hervey Bay?
Did I miss the memo on that one?
