So, did we attract more porn searches?

Stilgherrian — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:06:16 +0000

Did publishing a list of porn site search terms change the pattern of traffic to this website? Not much.

The most common search terms apart from my own name are still “heath ledger jokes”, “steve irwin jokes”, “used knickers” and “corey delaney”. The only ones I could see “young pussy”, “asian pussy”, “strip pork gams porn”, “sex fuck cartoon milf jimmy neutron”, “latina asian hardcore free no charge gratis porn sex amateur” and, my favourite, “deep throat black hung transsexuals no membership free access”.

[Update: Actually, there is an increase in traffic. It's not showing up in the search analysis, but that page of search terms is getting 200 visitors a day.]

Odd obituary for Heath Ledger

Stilgherrian — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:05:30 +0000

Who’d have thought? An obituary for Heath Ledger in Middle English! Well, for a character he played. Doffing the hat to Quatrefoil, who writes, “Whoever writes this blog is frequently side-splittingly funny, but he or she can write (and knows their Middle English passing well). I am filled with wonder and envy.”

Lessons from tacky Heath Ledger jokes, final edition

Stilgherrian — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:05:17 +0000

It’s nearly a month since I posted my tacky Heath Ledger joke page. What have we learned? Truth be told, not a lot more than I wrote in the Day 1 lessons and the items tagged “heath ledger”.

But let’s look at the total traffic anyway, this time using a graph from Google Analytics which shows visits only visitors to the jokes page.

As of just now, there’s been 11,717 page views in total, representing 8,798 unique visitors who stayed on average for 3 mins 44 secs per visit — quite respectable!

Traffic took a couple of days to peak — the first day being fuelled by Google Adwords — with a secondary peak the following week when Ledger’s funeral arrangements hit the news. Google rates the peaks as about 1000 visits a day and even now, a month later, we’re still seeing 60 to 80 visits a day.

As for the jokes themselves, well… to be honest I really don’t want to read them again. Most of them were crap. If you’ve got any astounding sociological observations, feel free to post a comment.

“Recreational outrage” is annoying

Stilgherrian — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:12:22 +0000

Maybe it was the phase of the Moon yesterday, but two different people were unhappy with discussions here and launched personal attacks. Google says I’m not the first to coin the term recreational outrage, but it’s certainly a perfect description.

If you read my every word — and I know you do, Gentle Reader — you’ll remember that my compulsory 9/11 post from 2006 mentioned “recreational grief”, a term I picked up from Encyclopaedia of Death and Dying:

The degree of public mourning following the deaths of Lady Diana and John F Kennedy Jr led social observers to wonder if grief is an ever-present latent feeling just waiting to be exploited by the political elite, if people’s lives are so empty that they engage in recreational grief… Perhaps individuals are emotive puppets manipulated by the mass media and/or political elite, and people cry because they are shown other people crying for a celebrity.

Perhaps outrage is also an ever-present latent feeling. If people’s lives are so comfortable that there’s nothing serious to get angry about, they’ll find somewhere to vent their outrage — going to considerable effort to find it.

Yesterday’s incidents could well illustrate this.

Gavin decided to call me an “asshole” for running the Heath Ledger jokes page.

Did any of you brain dead assholes stop to think Heath’s family have access to the world wide web, and could read this shit?
I hope that when you pass on, some asshole posts jokes about you!
But then again, that ain’t gonna happen…….
…….Because your not rich, famous or good looking, hey?

To which I replied:

You’re right. I’ve never realised it before. The Internet might be read by someone! We’d better not put anything there which could possibly upset any of the 1+ billion Internet users. When you get a moment, could you drop me a quick list of everything that has the potential to be upsetting? I’ll make sure that it’s never mentioned again.

I emailed Gavin privately, asking him if he’d answer, non-abusively, the question I’d actually posed on that page: If you’re going to whinge that “It’s too soon to make jokes,” then at least suggest how long someone has to be dead before they’re not sacred any more.

His even more abusive answer, which I didn’t publish, contains the most delicious irony:

I was talking about respect asshole, something which obviously you don’t have, and never will.

Respect. Asshole. That’s a keeper.

What’s interesting is that Gavin was searching for the name of the music a TV station played under their report of Ledger’s death. He saw Google’s link to Heath Ledger jokes — but that delivered him to the Arts category index. He had to click again on “Looking for the Heath Ledger death jokes? Try here.” He presumably read some jokes to generate some outrage, and then scrolled all the way past 160-odd comments to the form where he could finally express his outrage.

That’s quite an effort.

And yet he didn’t bother exploring any other page on the site before doing that. He had no idea of the context in which he was calling people “brain dead assholes”. He only read About Stilgherrian after he’d posted his second piece of abuse.

Similarly, carra was searching the blogosphere for “anthony callea” and found our current poll, Who’s the ultimate pop princess? Not finding any information to fuel what I assume is a fan’s appetite for news — and maybe upset that I described Callea as “fading fast”, certainly an accurate description of his music sales — he or she posted an insult.

The only amusing thing about this is that 10 people have wasted their time visiting your pathetic blog with an F grade attempt at humour.

After looking at just one post out of 900+ carra’s considered judgement is “pathetic”. I am, of course, shattered.

At least carra took the time to vote for Kylie Minogue before venting.

So, is there “latent outrage” in all of us, waiting to express itself recreationally? Or am I way off the mark?

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 9

Stilgherrian — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:08:45 +0000

Well unless Heath Ledger is in the news again for some reason, apart from the routine news about his funeral etc, I think the steady decline seen in the traffic over the last three days will continue.

As with the Steve Irwin jokes, though, the traffic will never fade away completely. There’ll always be some level of searching for “heath ledger jokes”, and occasional surges as he enters the news.

There’s today’s graph for now. More detailed analysis and reflection later.

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 8

Stilgherrian — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 01:02:37 +0000

Given that there’s quite a bit of fluctuation in web traffic from day to day anyway — for all manner of reasons — I’m going to say that it’s been relatively steady through the week so far.

As I mentioned yesterday, the Heath Ledger jokes page is now sustaining itself on Google search results. I think I’ll do a more detailed end-of week analysis tomorrow. I just wanted to publish something about this Experiment today because I know every single reader is awaiting my every word on this important global issue.

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 7

Another day, another traffic graph for The Heath Ledger Experiment. And once more, contrary to my expectations, there’s another gentle increase in traffic.

Could this be because the Heath Ledger jokes page is now the top result when you do a Google search for “heath ledger jokes”?

Today is about other things for me, not Mr Ledger, so I’ll return to these thoughts tomorrow. But do feel free to add your own comments.

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 6

Stilgherrian — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:14:53 +0000

Yesterday I reported that traffic for The Heath Ledger Experiment had declined across the weekend. Today I can tell you that the decline has been reversed and we’re slightly up again. Across 6 days, we’ve seen a total of 6,407 unique human visitors to the jokes page.

I have no real explanation for this yet, and it may just be statistical noise. Still, my gut feeling is that we’re moving past the initial feeding-frenzy. Perhaps the early visitors are people who actively seek out a forum for this sort of thing, because that’s how they gain the attention they seek. Later, others stumble across the site once those early visitors have seeded it with content.

One old friend, who I hadn’t heard from in years, emailed me across the weekend to say:

I stumbled across your site after someone sent me a Heath Ledger joke and I couldn’t think of a witty comeback, so decided to resort to a websearch and let the internet do my thinking for me. I never did find one good enough to send, but I did enjoy a productive half hour rooting around in your website.

I’m also starting to see inbound links from forums where people are discussing whether what I’m doing is tasteless or not, or reflecting on the way we feed on celebrity news in general. Is this perhaps the natural cycle of such things?

What I have learned is that it’s very easy to generate a few thousand inbound visitors. But why you’d want to do that, and what you do with those visitors, are completely different questions.

More soon…

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 5

Stilgherrian — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:53:57 +0000

Traffic related to The Heath Ledger Experiment continues to decline across the long weekend, the exact opposite of my admittedly ill-informed speculation. From a peak of 1,970 unique human visitors daily, it’s dropped to 1,227.

However that’s still well above the typical figure of around 500 unique humans daily which prevailed before this Experiment and The Madness of Corey Worthington Delaney.

Searches for Ledger-related terms now dominate the search-generated traffic to the website. Here’s the current Top 10 search terms which brought visitors here.

Bear in mind, this is a report for the entire calendar month, and we only started this experiment on 23 January. If we’re looking at current traffic, Heath Ledger is clearly what people are looking for.

I’ll continue poking at the numbers… more soon!

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 4

Stilgherrian — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 01:44:02 +0000

Hmmm… I predicted yesterday that traffic would increase again across the weekend, but it hasn’t so far. Saturday’s traffic was actually the lowest of the four days since I started The Heath Ledger Experiment.

No theories yet. Let’s look again tomorrow and see what happens with the Sunday traffic (which will include hits from Saturday in the US, thanks to the Earth being round). A sunny Sunday isn’t right for numerical analysis.

As before, the figure for the last day only includes traffic from midnight to about 4am. And the number in the top-left corner of the graph isn’t relevant, as it’s “hits” — which includes all the pieces on a page as well as the page itself.

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 3

Stilgherrian — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 23:01:08 +0000

Website traffic is starting to decline again although, as the graph shows, yesterday’s traffic was still the second-highest this month and the decline was relatively small.

Two things this morning. One, a look back at how much time this has taken so far, in response to a less-than-polite comment from Todd and a sensible question from Crispin. Two, some speculation about how the traffic might go from here.

The Heath Ledger Experiment is generating tons of interesting data for very little investment in time or money.

Once I’d heard via Twitter that Ledger was dead, the idea congealed in my mind while running an errand to the shops. After that, Day One went something like this:

task time

Write web page 5 mins

Source & prep photo 5 mins

Figure out Google AdWords 30 mins

Run initial AdWords campaign 30 mins

Deal with 1st batch of comments 15 mins

Run second AdWords campaign 30 mins

Deal with 2nd batch of comments 15 mins

task	time
Write web page	5 mins
Source & prep photo	5 mins
Figure out Google AdWords	30 mins
Run initial AdWords campaign	30 mins
Deal with 1st batch of comments	15 mins
Run second AdWords campaign	30 mins
Deal with 2nd batch of comments	15 mins

The set-up was incredibly fast because, well, it’s just a matter of writing words and pressing “Publish”. Google’s indexing robots hit my RSS feed hourly or so, so it’s not long before I’m indexed.

The most time-consuming part was setting up a Google AdWords account and figuring out how it all worked. Now that I know, next time will be quicker.

That table says it took 2+ hours, but that time was scattered across the working day. I was concentrating on other things, but came back to poke The Experiment — 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there. With a “real” campaign I’d set it up, let it run for a day, and then come back and analyse it.

You can probably add in another 2 hours’ worth of me talking at people and saying “Wow! This is so cool!” about 374 times.

I’ve probably spent 2 hours a day since then poring over the numbers and writing up the analysis. Again, in a “real” campaign I’d have a much more focussed process for evaluating the campaign’s effectiveness — and of course acting on the results. As I’ve said before, my sole aim here was to see how it works, not to specifically generate traffic or produce sales leads.

The potential research papers here, if that’s not too grand a description, are:

Lessons for small businesses wanting to try this for themselves.
How the rise in traffic to the jokes page unfolded, compared with when the story was covered in the media.
How the price of the search terms changed over time.
A linguistic analysis of the jokes and comments themselves.

“Research notes”, really. Any preferences for what you’d like to see first?

Now, the future.

I suspect that Friday’s drop in traffic was a weekly cycle thing, and that traffic will increase again across the weekend.

Traffic was down on Friday generally across some other high-traffic sites we host.
The younger people who are more likely to look for these jokes will have more time on their hands — both for word-of-mouth referrals and looking for amusements. This is especially true in Australia, where it’s a long weekend for Australia Day.

Any predictions from the floor?

Fiction is not reality

“Heath Ledger is notable for being two things at the moment. They are: 1. Not gay. 2. Dead,” notes Eric TF Bat. “This hasn’t stopped our good friends at the Westboro Baptist ‘Church’ announcing plans to picket his memorial because he played a gay cowboy in some movie a while back.” Eric’s rant says what needs to be said.

Heath Ledger spikes my website, Day 2

Stilgherrian — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:40:21 +0000

OK, I clearly know nothing about the Internet. Website traffic has actually gone up since yesterday!

Don’t worry about that number in the corner of the graph. That’s “hits” which includes all the images and little bits of JavaScript in each page.

Using another analysis tool, the number of unique visitors to the site each day (once search robots and hack attempts are filtered out) has risen from around 500 a day before Corey Worthington Delaney to more than 900 after Mr Socialite graced the world with his presence, to 1402 on Heath Ledger Day 1, to 1807 yesterday.

So what’s going on here?

Well, it’s certainly all about Heath Ledger.

The Heath Ledger jokes page has received 2618 human visitors in total, which roughly matches the increase in traffic. Originally that traffic was generated by advertising on Google. But now it’s all from what’s called “organic search” — that is, we’re turning up naturally in search results rather than paying for it.

Here’s the top 10 searches which have brought people here so far this month, showing the number of human visitors and the percentage of search-generated traffic that represents.

Now I know that for a few hours I was Google’s number 4 result for “heath ledger dead joke”, but that soon passed as mainstream media mentions of The Joker built up. Just now, I’ve looked at Google’s results for “heath ledger jokes” and I’m nowhere in the first 35 pages of results. So I’m guessing those hits all came from the paid advertising.

[Yes, I should right-justify the numbers in those columns, but you're all smart enough to figure it out for yourselves, I'm sure. I'll do the rest of the tables the same way.]

Looking specifically at the jokes page, here’s how Google Analytics reckons the visitors found us.

The numbers don’t match the other charts, so I suspect some people arrived at the home page first, rather than directly to the jokes page.

Some observations about these numbers:

People spending 3 or 4 minutes on a web page is pretty respectable. Most websites have people flit in and out much faster. These visitors were engaging with the content!
Posting a link on Facebook was worth it. About a third of my friends clicked through. Are they desperate, or losers?
The 3 unique visitors that arrived via messaging.myspace.com intrigue me, since they spent much longer on site. I wonder if they’re the same three guys who all came from the same Internet domain, a business in the US, and posted lots and lots of comments? Didn’t they have any work to do?

I’ll continue poking at the numbers… more soon.
