Googling Essays

So I got a stat counter a few weeks ago - you can see the running total in the sidebar. It lets you check out cool graphs and running totals for a range of different visitor types. But the most interesting thing for me is finding out where people come from, and the paths they use to get to my site.

The best so far was someone trying to get a theme for an essay on The Broker by John Grisham. They googled "the broker" + grisham + theme + essay, then somehow decided to scroll through 70 or 80 sites before picking mine. The funny thing is, when I checked the link, I found that my site had jumped to 20th on the list. Now its back down to 71st. Weird.
