The Director Sector

Perhaps I should include more popular phrases from TV shows or movies in my blog (I am your father), since that seems to be the only traffic I get lately (You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!).  You see, awhile back I wrote a blog about a phrase from one of my favorite TV shows “Stargate SG-1″ (It took us 15 years and 3 super computers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.) and roughly 2/3rds of my 35 average daily visitors come from people searching for that phrase.

Kind of odd, I thought.  (Our affair, like our hotels, had gone from elegant with crystal to seedy with plastic cups.)

Incidentally, I just checked and my post “If you immediately know candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago” post is the #1 hit on Google for that phrase.  Go me!  Don’t believe me?  Check it out for yourself.

So what does this mean?  This means that maybe 5-8 people are actually reading this thing on a regular basis, and that 2/3rds of my “audience” accidentally made their way here.  (Okay, Radar, state your business, in one word or less.).  That’s not good.

That leaves me some options.  I can shut this thing down and focus on other projects, spending my time browsing other blogs, and make my presence known that way.  Or I could keep this up, keep writing for myself and the handful of people who read (but don’t comment) and wonder at all the visitors who don’t care about theatre and just want to know the meaning of Oma Desala’s phrase. (You’re worth two 43s, 86.)

I guess you’ll have to wait in terrible suspense (I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti) until next week to see if I keep this up or not.

I wonder how many accidental visits I’ll get now.
