I love to look at the stats for my website. Not only does it make me feel like someone is reading besides my mom (actually, I don’t know if my mom reads any of this), but it also shows me some really entertaining things.
My favorite feature is seeing the search terms people plugged in to get to the site. I’ll present a few from the past, with no comment or judging.
Just kidding, of course. Here we go.
March 2010:
| biography awards |
| disastrous engagement with |
| theresa romain |
| jane austen biography |
| margarita fischer |
| biography examples |
| what was romance like in the 1800s? |
| teresa romain writer |
| filmstar |
| what is a made up poem of roots |
Why, thank you. Except for the last one. What IS a made up poem of roots?
Nice to see a little lingering love for Margarita Fischer. That one might well have been a hit from my mom. For those of you who don’t know, Margarita was a silent film actress and the subject of my first published book (a biography, not a historical romance).
I am going to assume that “disastrous engagement with” and “Theresa Romain” have nothing to do with one another even though the searches came in quick succession. Mr. R, it is far too late to be complaining about that sort of thing.
April 2010:
These were all related to me and/or writing and thus, while they make sense and are much appreciated, they aren’t all that funny.
May 2010:
| historical romance love/hate |
| disastrous engagement |
| viscount recipe |
| Regency romance with meek heroine |
| hilarious historical romance |
Again with the disastrous engagements. These hits are probably due to an earlier post I did on The Viscount’s Dilemma. I hope the lovelorn searchers found my historical romance “hilarious,” though probably not “meek.” Either way, I am guessing they were looking for more empathy than they got from my site.
As for the viscount recipe…I can only imagine. I only know I don’t want to eat that. (Well, maybe I do.)
Ok, folks. There you have it. I’ll throw June and July at you sometime later. In the meantime, see what you can do to give the stats counter something interesting to record!

Those are interesting. I must come up with some new things to plug in to get to your site to spice up your stats. ;)
