To whom it may concern…
- …if you googled “who can change into anyone and is on justice league” the answer is probably J’onn J’onzz (the green-skinned Martian Manhunter).
- …if you googled “why is superman such a wimp in justice league” the answer is because the writers want to show how powerful the bad guy is. We all know how extremely powerful Superman is, so anybody who can beat him up has to be a serious challenge to the Justice League right? That’s what the writers/producers of Justice League thought, but even they accept that they over did it during their first season.
- …if you googled “big gang theory t-shirt” try Sheldon’s Shirts. A website dedicated to finding where Leonard Sheldon gets his t-shirts from.
- …if you googled “kimiyo hoshi husband”, sorry we don’t know anything about Doctor Light‘s husband either. They’re divorced, it was messy, he hasn’t been named, he still lives in Japan.
- …if you googled “justice league live action movie 1970″ or “live action super friends” you’re thinking about Legends of the Superfriends. Try a video or two. Accept that it was awful and move on.
- …if you googled “justice league generation lost 2 variant” you’re looking for this Kevin Maguire cover:
- …if you googled “jla sdcc 2010″ (or some variant there of) you are looking for this post about Mattel’s Starro/JLA exclusive figures from this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
What a lot of fun – so you really can find out what people were searching for that brought them here?
Surprisingly yes. When your web browser requests a webpage from a remote server it sends along a shed load of information about the request – operating system, web browser type, any cookies it holds for that site, etc. Part of that info is the referer, the URL of the page that you clicked on to be sent to the web server. I don’t think people realise just how much information they leak just by surfing the web. Try looking at this page to see what information you’re sending out on the net.
The useful thing about search engines is that their URLs normally have the keywords in them that a person searched for. For example, if I type Booster Gold into Google it would show me a results page with a URL something like http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=booster+gold. It’s then quite easy to look for referer URLs from search engines and parse out the keywords. Tracking services like Google Analytics or WordPress’s Site Stats will report the statistics for these referer URLs.
