Every blogger’s favorite game is to view the search terms that bring readers to the site. For me, this is a spiritual exercise — what random search strings will the Google algorithm gods divine as meaning that the seeker and I share a common interest?
Today’s contribution: “preacher kids counseling mean church people”
Hmmmm… What situation do you suppose gave rise to this little gem? Was the congregation offensive to the minister’s offspring, who now need psychological intervention? Or was it the precious progeny who have taken it upon themselves to offer such support to members with personality problems?
Ponder and feel free to speculate.

Hi Parslife… I’m new to WordPress and blogging as well and am unfamiliar with that game but sure would like to know how to play. How do I find search terms that brought readers to my posts?

Oh yeah, join the fun! Sign in to WordPress and go to your dashboard. Then just click on Blog stats. Voila! Careful, it’s addictive…

Perhaps there is some punctuation implied? “Preacher kids, counseling mean church people” would speak to the transformative power of humor.
