Ryan Grimm

My brother has given our Dad the nickname “stat master” because of his ability to remember endless amounts of statistical data as well as his desire to acquire said information.  While I haven’t earned such a nickname, I must admit that I love looking at stats, especially search logs.

It amazes me what people type into search engines that ends up landing them on various posts in this blog.  Most of them are very logical and not surprising (eg: a search for my name).  But every now and then I come across one that catches my eye.  For example, this week someone searched for “jack johnson guitar” and somehow landed on my blog.  This is surprising because there are hundreds of thousands of pages with those words on them and somehow someone found one of mine.

But this week I stumbled on one of the greatest search referrals in my life.  Someone searched for “I love Ryan Grimm”, I actually let out a little laugh when I saw that.  Immediatly I started to wonder if a celebrety or artist popped up with my name, thankfully it doesn’t look like it.  So what was someone looking for when they typed that into a search engine?  Is it possible that they were actually looking for me?  I doubt it.  But it at the very least, it’s nice to know that someone out there is searching for their love of a Ryan Grimm.
