Collective mind


This is a bit of a random post today. Well, it’s probably less random than usual, which in effect makes it more random, as my posts of late have been on the random side. This one isn’t random in itself, but compared to some of the more recent ones it will stand out as being so. I just wanted to clarify that before starting my post.

Search engines from around the world are referring readers to my blog in their droves, which isn’t a bad thing if they wish to stick around and read some of the fascinating posts and at times shocking drivel I have produced over the last eleven months or so. I’ve nearly had this blog for a whole year, which isn’t much compared to some blogs, but it is a great achievement for me! Yay! Go me! Ahem; search engines and droves.

The odd thing is, is what the visitors are searching for, and the vast difference of countries where they are being connected from. It isn’t one place, but it is always one search term that directs them to this blog. What could this term be?

Could it be Aquatom1968? No.

How about vampires? No again.

Ah, black holes? Once more, no.

I’ve included those topics in more than one post, but they don’t appear to be the ones that people around the world are looking for.

OK, then, try parallel dimensions. No.

Personalities? No.

Ghosts? No.

1642? No. No. No.

The Moon. Nearly.

The Moon? Really? Nearly.

The majority of people who are referred to my blog are searching for terms including ‘wolf moon’, ‘the wolf in the moon’ or ‘wolf’ or even ‘wolf in the snow moon’. The most visited post on my blog is The Wolf Moon… Luna Lupa, which I added on February 18th this year. In brief, the short post was about the Full Moon in February and how I have designated it as my Wolf Moon.

Now here’s my question. What would cause so many people from around the world to search for this one term? How can February’s (or even January’s) Full Moon be relevant today? And, as part B to the question, how are they referred to my site, as when I search for the terms above, I do not appear in the listings – and I’ve checked up to page 50 I think. I can’t see people paging through that many entries, and then finding a link to my blog and thinking ‘Ah, that’s what I’m looking for!’ Very random indeed. But, at the same time I am really pleased that these fine people have somehow tapped into this ‘collective mind’ train of thought and have been referred to my blog.

Other esteemed visitors are referred here looking for Lion Spirit Guide, and information on Ley Lines. I hope that every visitor finds something to think about when they ‘pop’ in for a look-see, and I hope that they leave ‘feeling good’.

Like I said earlier, my point of view of the world is from a slightly different angle, but I really enjoy things from over here. Well, I like writing about them anyway, so that says something! And if we all did more of the things that we liked doing, there’d be far more feel good feelings to spread around! Now there’s a good thought for the collective mind…

    It is strange how these searches work, my top search is a line from midway through a Led Zeppelin song that I filched and put in one of my poems quite a while back. I did mention and thank said authors for the line but my poem bears no resemblance to the song, yet it is used in searches and regularly directs visitors to my blog 😀
    I’m told the best tags to use are adult entertainment orientated ones (I think you night guess what they are) 😉 Do we really want to be visited by such visitors? I think not! 😀

      It really is strange. I’ve had more visits today for the same thing. Not to complain though.
      I couldn’t use adult oriented tags anyway – they’d clash with my blog! 🙂

    Oh I’ve done two posts on the search words that have led droves of people to my blog. Sadly its not the post itself but the pictures in them namely the pictures of lemming, angry dogs and night sky!!

    The weird thing is as soon as I write about it, the searches have dropped tremendously!

    I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about this though…..

    Have you tried searching for your posts / blog by using the blog search option in Google. They might be coming in from there.

      Mine haven’t stopped, Shree, but there is a picture in that post which I selected with care from the many thousands available on line, you may be right with your suggestion. I’ll have a look at that later…

        I think I can see where they are all coming from. The picture I used is on the first row in the Google Image search for Wolf Moon, with a link to this blog. Yay!. So that’s part A of the mystery solved. Part B is why are so many people looking for Wolf Moon? Hmmm…

    I love good feelings and feeling good, so the both of them together make it doubly good. And no matter how they get here Sir Aquatom, maybe it says something about the wide variety of subject links and entertainment your blogs are sending out. And mayhap they will stop and read and get their various days uplifted, just like ‘what I does’!! 😀 xPenx

      Thanks, Pen! I like providing uplifts! (Although I wouldn’t mind them searching for the other 99% of topics I write about, or perhaps one of my better posts maybe?) But still, folk are coming in, so I’ll have to make them all welcome! 😀
