amongst the top search results for my website are the obvious ones such as ‘graphic design’ ‘martin pyper’ ‘me studio’ ‘amsterdam’ ‘ballet’ and ‘top quality designer for a very good price’ (well ok, the last one is a lie)
however the absolute top three search terms have a reassuringly predictable common theme and all three of them turn up in my google search hits virtually every day, the winners are as follows:
this post about belgian artist ‘wim delvoye’ from april 2010, then dutch artist ‘hester scheurwater’ with her iphone and finally this post about feline scans which i chose to give an, ahum… amusing title
so there you go, it appears that, at least some of the traffic i get everyday is from horny teenagers who probably are less than pleased to discover it’s all boring stuff about design… i have a funny feeling that the title of this post will also be joining the ranks of my top hits very soon…
