pretty sure there is one site totally dedicated to this... something like "Stupid search engine requests"

All my logs tell me is how depraved a significant proportion of web surfers are. I rarely see funny or clever requests that ended up wih a hit to our sites.

Sort of on the topic, I run an agricultural simulation that ended up #1 for "girls jumping on trampolines" because of an unintended quirk in my SEO.

I've heard of an anomaly where someone clicks a serp, goes to the site, then visits yours, the previous site referral stats carry forward to yours. A browser cache bug thing.

So, if someone did a click to an unrelated serp, then typed in to go to your site, the old referring information carried over.

Considering I've clicked and clicked and clicked through the serps and never found my sites in the results, that's the best explanation I've heard.

>>A browser cache bug thing.

We replicated that by opening multiple windows. With two windows open the first browser's referral string gets forwarded. With three windows open the 2nd browser's referral string is forwarded, and so on, unless you click back to a previous window, then that window's referral string is forwarded until a new browser window is opened or the windows are closed, or you click another open window.

Two interesting searches come to mind. Some person found my site looking for "free gift OR free mouse pad OR free computer" etc etc etc. I do have free giftwrap.

And I've had a couple of hits for "pic of a hymen". I do have some items that happen to have a picture of the Greek god Hymen on them.

Hmm - I just found out that on MSN, my site comes up under "pic of burning american flag". ATW actually has that MSN SERP indexed.
