Time to Form a Cave

Inspired by my friend over at the Back of the Cereal Box, I've decided that it's time to share some of the stranger ways that internet users have found this site. The funny thing is that absolutely none of the keywords used to reach Notes From Overground have involved zombies - I guess I've succeeded in keeping the lab low-profile.

Regular readers may remember a post titled "The Love Poem of a Creepy Old Man" - that page has generated the most searches and the most hits, because apparently, despite the recipient of that poem having been both shocked and horrified by the experience, many people actually want to be written creepy poems. Is it that hard to get a poetic stalker? My friends' experiences would suggest no, but apparently it is for the type of people who end up on this site. They have searched for:

creepy love poems
creepy love poem
a poem of death and creepy
creepy poetry
love poem creepy
love poem+older man
love poems creepy
poem loose women
poem too old love
poems about creepy dream
poetry creepy

The first, "creepy love poems," generated 14 separate hits. That, I believe, is because this is the first site on the list for that search. Congratulations to me: I have become the internet's number one source for creepy love poems about/written by creepy old men. Cross that goal off the list!

Other noteworthy searches which lead to this site, and for which this is the first hit:

time to form a cave
astral kiss
joop necktie
your light forever trapped in the time and space

The very best search, however, is:

desperate christadelphians

This does NOT lead directly to Notes From Overground - in fact, this site is on the fourth page of a Google search. Which suggests, perhaps, that the searcher was truly desperate to find a desperate Christadelphian, for some sinister reason of their own.
