All good marketers look through their Google analytic reports to check out the search terms people are typing into search engines to find their website. It is a great way of refining your website keywords and improving your search engine results.

But … how many people look all the way to the end? Prompted by @silkcharm and @the_gman rather funny experiences I scrolled all the way through the thousands of terms to bring you the top 20 strangest terms people have typed into a search engine and then been taken to the Heart Harmony website.

1. 21st birthday ideas

2. 21st birthday presents

Hmnnn – perhaps I can see a niche needing to be filled.

3. metaphors

A perfect storm of metaphors for those addicted to explosive writing.

4. Joke small people small packages

I wonder if people really buy small packages full of small people?

5. Rich people vs poor people

I will help you here – rich people have more money, time, love, happiness – but not necessarily all at the same time.

6. Art niche ideas

Niches as in wall niches or as in niches for artists that haven’t already been done?

7. Best way to claim a laptop on tax

You may want to talk to your accountant for that one.

8. Chicken shop names

9. Chicken shop menu

Ok – there were actually about 15 searches relating to starting a chicken shop – I didn’t know they were so popular as a business idea. But coming soon … a great new e-book on How to Start a Chicken Shop (by the people that brought you Chicken Soup for the Soul).

10. Ebay excavators

You can buy anything eBay these days, so why not excavators? What they have to do with copywriting or Heart Harmony is a bit beyond me though.

11. Email finger

What the?

12. Facts about rosary beads

This is a very strange one.  I have a client that has one website selling first communion gifts (and another site selling pasties) – perhaps we could ask them?

13. Global meltdown

The end of the world is coming!

14. Global meltdown online sale

… but first you can buy rugs from Rugs a Million at 75% off.

15. I hate to be on hold

If you are on the Telstra service never ending problem solving recording … my best tip is to say “talk to a human” – for some reason it works and you get a real person to talk with. I just love the startled “it sounds like you want to talk to an operator” response from the automated recording. It’s worth ringing Telstra just for that moment.

16. I want to work at Smiggle, how do I get a part-time job there?

You contact a Store Manager … and ask them!

17. Quentin Bryce’s leadership skills

This search may or may not have come from the Prime Minister’s Office before he appointed her as Governor-General.

18. Stab proof cloting

Yes – it was spelt cloting. Stay safe dude!

19. Waiter deal complaints

Perhaps Rugs a Million are offering a deal – buy one rug get one waiter free.

20. What does until next time mean

It means … until next time

What is lurking in the bowels of your keyword analytics? Any funny ones you want to share?
