Back to work...

Quick note before I look at the December figures – in the vote for the best contributed story, we currently have a three way tie – and one of those is for Other.  Guys and gals, if you are voting Other, PLEASE tell me what the other is.  End of public announcement.

December, like July and August, is a bit of a strange month with holidays and other things going on, so a slight drop in visits is not that surprising.  There were a total of 7,040 visits by 3,981 people, viewing a total of 30,362 pages.  As always, we had some interesting visitors from countries like Macau, Venezuela, Iran and South Korea, but for some reason the Czech Republic was very high on the hits list.

Still no hits from my hometown – the nearest this month was six miles away – and on US watch we had no hits from Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.  The wait continues...

Now, looking at referring sites – how the hell do you manage to link to here from slowfoodottowagatineau.com?  Or, for that matter, videolala.com?  Actually, the second one I can kind of understand, but the first?

Fortunately, the search engine terms do not disappoint.  Witness the following: -

Gagged and tied sister-in-law - Bound on the Fourth of July

Tie up by aunt - The Play's The Thing

“cute kid” + “tied her ankles” - The Cocktail Hour

Murder ziptied duct tape - Jury Service

Gag gagged “stuffed mouth” wad - The Worm That Turned

Lovingly kissed her bound rope - Working Your Way Up

“her tights” bank uniform skirt jacket - A Week of Living Dangerously

Bind and gag grandma - Protector

Burglar forced to strip- Off The Record

Gagged with a huge foam ball - A Night To Remember

Large strip of plaster gagged - Midsummer Bound
