i use statcounter to track traffic on and to my site, and one of the most facinating features is the keyword activity function. it shows what words and phrases people use in google and other search engines that eventually hit my site.

by far, the most popular is some form of “pink guns”, which hit the posts i’ve done on the pink pistols and pink guns. there’s a bit of variety in the keywords people use, with the two most popular coming in as “pink glock” at 11.84% and “pink guns” at 9.21%. runner ups include “pink firearms” at 5.26%, “custom pink guns” at 3.95%, and “pink revolver grips, also at 3.95%. there’s also a few hits for “pink 22 caliber pistol”, “pink pistols”, “pink guns gunshop”, and a few other permutations. more than half the hits i get from the search engines are related to this category.

the second most popular, though not nearly as prevalent, is some form of search based on the term “shemale”. none individually amount to more than 2.63%, at least this week, but include “fit shemales” (of which i am definately not), “post op shemale” (which apparently i am), “alexis shemales” (presumably searching for alexis arquette), “why do men like shemales” (my personal second favorite), “i’m a shemale” (not sure if this refers to the person who is doing the search), “jews shemales” (i guess everyone has their own preferences), “post op shemale article” (are some people actually looking to read stuff about shemales as opposed to just gawking? i’m shocked!), “shemale active sex” (that’s more aligned to the “normal” types of searches), “steps to being a shemale” (i thought that was pretty much common knowledge), and my most favorite “shemale brain”. and here i was thinking that there was only male and female brains. “googleshemales” was a bit confusing, since they used google to do the search, and “drag queen shemale” seemed a bit redundant to me. there was one disturbing “i am shemale need work”, followed by “she male issues”. i wondered if those last two searches were done by the same person.

there’s many more that related to all thing trans, most notable include “men with no gender identity in the bible” (which bring up, ummm, interesting articles such as “sound bible christian teaching pertaining to intersex and gender identity (hermaphrodite*)), “transwoman goes straight” (i wondered if they were looking for former trans women or transwomen who used to date women but now date men), “miss transwoman 2007″ (and of course they found that right here on nexy’s cocoon, though that’s “misses transwoman” to you ), “transgender statistics” (of which there is a serious lack), and one that combines the two most popular topics, “pink pistols trans”. amazing.

i’m not sure what to conclude from all this, but it’s facinating reading, at least to this jewish post op shemale transwoman transsexual pink pistol wielding blogger.
