The tracker that is on my blog tracks search engine referrals to my blog. This means that it tracks what people were searching for when they found my blog. It is interesting to watch and see how people found me. The interesting thing is that I have gotten more hits from my inability to spell than anything else. In one of my previous posts, More Kobe News, I misspelled Kobe's last name. Instead of "Bryant" I mistakenly typed "Bryan." I first realized my spelling error when I saw a search engine referall with the mispelling in it. I promptly changed the spelling on the post, but it has not stopped people from finding me with this mispelling. Apparently there are a lot of people out there who can't spell or who just don't know what Kobe's last name really is. Whatever the reason, I have gotten most of my search engine referalls from people looking for information on "Kobe Bryan".
Maybe I should mispell things more often. I get more traffic that way.
