…by the fact that this very site, your own Planned Obsolescence, comes in number 2 in the Google Japan rankings for “onanism facility.”
Very funny! How did you find this out? I’ve done Google US searches for some of the terms that show up in my usage statistics, but you seem better informed about this stuff than I am….
On a quick search, I did determine that I am the number one site for the search phrase “all publicity is good publicity.” Seems rather apt…
The US Google too: #2. Revel in this; I keep a list of these on my front page. My favorite for my site–“kotex commercials”.
Chuck — the searches pop up with full URLs in my referrer logs (I’m running Dean Allen’s Refer).
Brandon — you know, it honestly hadn’t occurred to me to check the US site to see if it came up the same. I am a bit curious about the intent of the Japanese user who was seeking an onanism facility (and whether that’s a literal translation of something that might make sense translated more… metaphorically). While the phrase “kotex commercials” might make little sense in conjunction with your blog — well, at least I get a sense of what the searcher was after…
(Do you get the sense that the sense of my vocabulary could stand to be expanded, such that I might make more sense?)
The mistranslation approach seems likely. Onanism facility–maybe the searcher was looking for a sperm bank. Who knows…
