This page contains information about terms or
keywords that people have searched for at major search engines such as Yahoo, Excite,
AltaVista, Google, UK Plus etc - and managed to find this site as a result of that search
Search Keywords Tracker at Hitbox - Unfortunately, doesn't seem to
monitor all the search engines referrals. Hitbox does though give information about
the most popular search terms etc. Bravenet have supplied most of the information
below, but they don't store it. I (and you if you're interested!) can view the
referring information for the previous 50 visitors via the Bravenet counter link at the
bottom of each page of the site. There have been many hundreds, perhaps thousands
of other referring search terms that I have not recorded. I have only recorded
these terms during a 3 week period end October 2000 - mid November 2000.
"Tourette Syndrome" is of course
the most popular search term, together with many variations and misspellings such as:
tourettes, touret, teret, torett, tirets, tourett, tourettes disorder etc etc.
(The above link at Hitbox gives some idea of the frequency of those terms in
relation to all others) I have not included those in the following list.
The terms that 'get' to me most are those such
as "nervous habits", "habit spasms", "sniffing",
"smelling fingers", "head shaking" and the like. They
remind me of what I might have been searching for not so long ago, and I just hope those
folks find at least some of the answers they're looking for here.
There are other terms in the list that make me
wonder how on earth they find this site! But I hope those people learn a little
while they're here!
Some of these terms crop up repeatedly,
others appear only once
(This page will NOT be indexed by the search
engines)
I'm hoping that as the search engines pick up
on the newer pages, such as Internet Security and the Animation Page - those pages might
bring in more visitors who I hope might be interested to look at the rest of the site, and
will learn a little about Tourette Syndrome whilst they're here.
