It's been nearly 2 years since I last looked at what brings people here. To be sure, there have been some decided traffic changes. For one thing, my regular readership is much greater than it has been. I know this in part because Google Analytics tells me that since the first of the year, 32.27% of my site's visitors are returning visitors. (Mint tells me something similar, but I've only been using it a month.) The numbers for the last month show only a 24.85% return rate. However, I've had my highest visitor counts ever in the last month.
Anyhow, in a practice that those of us who follow our web access logs tend to do, I'll now arbitrarily elaborate on some of the searches that have led people here over the last 4 months.
Some things never change. 3.73% of my visitors since the start of the year came through a search for "Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals." That search usually leads to this page.
3.32% of my visitors search for "otherwise occupied." That leads to the homepage, generally. Following the clickstream, it's clear that that's how some people find me. For others, I gather they're just sorely disappointed.
Searches regarding USF are huge, and they also produce very interested readers. Rather than type this up, or try to analyze the various ways people search for USF information end up here, below is a screen capture. I'd just like to do a little editorializing first. Look at all of this! This is clearly information people want. Wouldn't it make sense for the school to publish this information online?

The final one is my favorite. It's "romero exception." It brings up my first blog post. There are 7 requests, all from California. 6 from USF. We seem to have the market cornered on Romero Exception teaching.
