Time to get cracking
I think I may have to start seriously working on my recipe site again. I keep putting it off hoping I’ll get the time. inclination etc to learn how to use databases so I can drop the recipes into a database instead of individual pages. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen - I’m a little too intimidated by it all 
and don’t really know where to start. Going through my referrer stats today I saw a consistent trend over the past year that somewhere around 25 to 30% of the search strings that are bringing people to my whole site are food related. Look at this table for this month so far:
| Top 20 Search Strings for October 2004 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| # | Hits | Search String | |
| 1 | 76 | 2.27% | redneck words |
| 2 | 66 | 1.97% | pork marinade |
| 3 | 61 | 1.82% | changing world technologies |
| 4 | 61 | 1.82% | mirc popups |
| 5 | 46 | 1.38% | spawn drawings |
| 6 | 29 | 0.87% | vegetarian lasagna |
| 7 | 26 | 0.78% | garlic smashed potatoes |
| 8 | 22 | 0.66% | bouquet garni |
| 9 | 18 | 0.54% | dubyaisms |
| 10 | 18 | 0.54% | sas army |
| 11 | 16 | 0.48% | green lady |
| 12 | 15 | 0.45% | norwegian jokes |
| 13 | 14 | 0.42% | green tomato chutney |
| 14 | 13 | 0.39% | pics of space |
| 15 | 12 | 0.36% | hockey jokes |
| 16 | 12 | 0.36% | windowsrg |
| 17 | 11 | 0.33% | alder |
| 18 | 11 | 0.33% | bill o’reilly pervert |
| 19 | 11 | 0.33% | canadian joke |
| 20 | 11 | 0.33% | hot pepper relish |
That means roughly 5% of the hits to my whole site are for recipes and that doesn’t include the searches that fall outside of the top 20. Time to add some more recipes I guess

You think that YOU get a lot of hits that are food related?
Hah!
Imagine having a surname like mine!
