Let's say you want to search for the phrase "online running log" on Google, Yahoo, or MSN, you'll be presented with a list of matches. If you click on any of these results, you'll be brought to the site. You may not know this, the search engine will also pass the phrase you searched for to the site when you click on the result.

I use a reporting tool to monitor the site's traffic. Occasionally I would look at the list of search terms that people used to find this site. One would think that most if not all the terms would be related to running, but that's not always the case. Here's the list of top 25 search phrases people used to find their way to this site today:

1 running ahead
2 runningahead
3 maroon 5 itunes preorder
4 running log
5 charlie horse half marathon
6 free running log
7 ahead.com
8 online running log
9 create a running route
10 allibunny

Some of these are pretty obvious, while some are quite interesting. Who knew that RunningAHEAD.com is so popular with Maroon 5 fans.

Wow, that's funny. I feel so cutting edge!

Big grin

It would be fun to throw random non-running phrases out there to see how many hits come to this site from those. Though I am really surprised to not see running skirt or beer hits!

No, but what a fascinating display of architecture. Not at all what I was picturing (thankfully).
