The first time my WordPress “stats” page showed that a handful of people had stumbled on this blog via an online search, I experienced a frisson of excitement: this was the big time, for sure!  I was no longer writing just for Facebook friends and friends of friends, but for the entire Googleverse.

What kinds of search terms, I wondered, had led people here?

Thanks to WordPress’s datamongers, I can tell you. The list isn’t complete, since some searches are encrypted, but it’s still revealing. And weird:

• bangladeshi pigeon association
• food blogs brooklyn
• prospect lefferts gardens blog
• running prospect lefferts gardens
• prospect lefferts brooklyn neighborhood
• flatbush brooklyn blogs
• bay ridge brooklyn blog
• broklyn blogs
• restaurante salvadorena continental
• “dii stores astoria”
• santander + thrifty
• “cafe rokhat” chowhound
• gino’s focacceria festival stand
• breast cancer with lymph node involvement
• nyc marathon 2014 wind

and finally

• having sex in prospect park good idea

I hope this blog convinced the last searcher that the answer is generally “no.” (Still, with 2.9 million hits, there seems to be a lot of interest in the question.)
