Apartment Manager Adventures

One of the interesting parts of having your own website is having the opportunity to figure out how people are finding your website. There are a number of tools you can use to try to better understand the people that are reading your site and by better understanding your audience, you can improve your website and make it more valuable to the people that read it.

One of the tools I use is a search engine report. This basically shows me what words or phrases people are using in search engines when they find this website. Sometimes the queries make complete sense (”Funny Apartment Stories”), and sometimes I have no idea how a particular search term could be associated with my site (”Flaming bag of poop”)

So I stormed to the balcony fuming mad and ripped back the curtain ready to catch the thief red handed (I intended to give him a good scare by yelling at him) when all the sudden something surprised me and my breath was taken back!….
