The Strange Ways of the Internet...

This morning I looked at my blog's traffic report, and discovered that yesterday the traffic (people looking at my blog) was ten times what it normally is. A little research and I figured out that about 85% of this extra traffic was coming from a single source: Google image searches for "Sarah Palin".

So I tried that image search myself, to see where JamulBlog ranked. I looked through the first 200 images and didn't see any JamulBlog hits. So all that extra traffic came from people paging through more than 10 pages worth of Google image “hits” (for all I know, a lot more!). Every image of Sarah Palin that I have on my blog is copied from some other public source, and I'm pretty sure that I saw all of them on the search hits. So what were these people looking for so diligently?

Strange are the ways of the Internet...
