Search Me?

I have a tiny, tiny readership. Honestly, I don’t know all of the people who subscribe to my feed – and I’m not sure what’s in it for you. Maybe it should remain a mystery, because I have an idea about how some of you got here, and it’s not very flattering (for me.)

I’ve been tracking my incoming links for quite some time, and about 2 in 5 incoming hits involve Google (and the occasional Yahoo! and Live) searches. I’d love to be able to report that the people who found me actually were looking for me, but that would be a lie. So, below the cut you’ll find a list of some of the rather roundabout ways people get to Occam’s RazR (and how far down I was):
Ranked by how high I was in the results (at that time), and bearing in mind that I was more likely to stash a higher result than a low one (and almost none out of the Top 10)

…I wish I had a better grasp of the theme of my blog. My apologies for being so scattershot in my content.
