Just who are these people anyway?

I get quite a few visitors to my site that are almost complete mysteries to me. They are complete strangers to me. I only know a couple little things about them; which time zone they are in and the webpage that they were visiting before they came here. I've had around 3500 individual website visits since the beginning of February and I'm forecasted to have around 1500 hits for this month. Not that many compared to a lot of other sites, but it's still interesting to me since I'm pretty sure that I know less than half of the people that come here.

One chart that I have access to is kind of interesting. It shows the percentage of people that visit my site from each time zone. Apparently, my parents aren't the only ones who read about the mess that I'm making of my life. 30% of the people that have been visiting here are in the Korea/Japan/Eastern Russia timezone. That probably covers some of Australia too. Coming in second is the central time zone, at about 25%. Since that's where my parents, one of my sisters, and a lot of my high school friends live, that makes sense. At the next level, 20% of the people here are in the Eastern timezone. I have one sister there, a lot of relatives and quite a few friends, so that makes sense to me too. I know a fair number of people on the west coast of North America, and that accounts for 10% of my visitors. What I wonder about is the mountain time zone and the few European timezones that seem to contain some of my online guests. I went to university in Edmonton, so I'd think that at least a few of my friends there would come and read what I'm doing. It looks like few is the key word there. As for the European timezones (or is that African?), I barely know anyone there. Maybe they are just random visitors. I have no idea. I'm wondering why I have 1% coming from the Middle East as well...

So, if I don't know you and you enjoy reading into my life...

...leave me a comment! Preferably a nice one.

As I said earlier, I can look at the site that each person had been looking at before they came here. I wrote a couple of months ago that I was getting people coming here that were searching for things like "Tammy Plante nude and/or naked" into a search engine. This has not changed. Six of the last 100 random visitors here came here after searching for Tammy Plante in Google. To save you six people the trouble, here's the picture again.

I hope that you enjoy it. Oh, and stop looking at my sister! Perverts...

Another common thing that people search for when they find my site is sports in Korea. I guess that since I have links to a few local foreign sports websites, my site comes up. I get a few people searching for Astroboy, and they've found me. I guess that's cool, although it's probably a let down for whoever's searching for our friend Atom (Astroboy). I get a lot of people looking for information on Korea and on teaching English in Korea. Hopefully they found whatever they were looking for. I seems that I get a few visits from people who were at the allumni page for my high school. Maybe those people knew me and were curious as to what I'm doing and if I'm still alive. A couple of my favorite things that people typed into Google when they found me though, have been "Pepsi for breakfast" and "airhostess naked". Interestingly, the person who wanted to see an airhostess naked was searching from the Belgium verison of Google. Kelsey, my sister who's the brunette in the centre in the above picture lived in Belgium for a year. Maybe some of her friends were looking to join the mile high club? Finally, someone from the Japanese Google site was searching for the "wasabi experience". I hope that they liked the pictures of the sushi that I'd made.
