The second of my two monthly features is the familiar How People Found Me, because when it's not about the pageviews, it's all about the keywords.

I've chosen to do this in two sections - categories and keywords.

The Categories

Category	Count
Billy Joel	163
Technology	140
Celebrity Look Alikes	80
Overrated Films	21
DSL	20
Al Gore	18
Steven Wright	17

My four posts on Billy Joel's latest tour and single release (the playlist, the concert review, the song review, and the song lyrics) have been a HUGE Google magnet. In the month of May, 163 different search queries brought people to one of these four posts. That's more than five unique queries per day!

Similarly, my various posts about technology issues (specifically Blogger, Google, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, my new Dell PC and HP Laptop, and my Tech Guide reviews) have caught the attention of 140 unique queries. And a couple of posts I made on a lark about a site that does face recognition and suggests celebrity look alikes has garnered 80 unique queries.

The others on this list are smaller, but they surprised me in terms of how many people would think to search on them. A post on some random Top 20 Over-rated Films of All Time list generated 21 queries. A Ramblings article I wrote in December of 2004 about DSL installation brought in 20 queries. My review of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth yielded 18, and a couple of jokes I heard Steven Wright tell on Letterman one night brought on 17 (many of which, by the way, were flawed attempts to quote the actual text of Wright's jokes).

The Keywords

All told, over 700 queries resulted in hits to Familygreenberg.com in May. Here are some that I found the most interesting:
