I like to review the access logs for Gibberish to see how people get here, and to see what they like to read.

My bump key article has gotten a lot of attention lately. Google supplies the points of entry to Gibberish with searches for “bump key set” and “bump proof locks,” and so on. Most of these readers don’t stick around for a second article, so I consider their transient visits almost throwaways. Still, it’s interesting to see how many people out there are interested in, and possibly afraid of, how easy it is to open common locks with a bump key.

So far, my favorite search terms used to lure a reader to Gibberish have been “gm speedometer piece of shit.” I have no idea why someone would think to query for that, but my 5000 mile Solstice review is the number six result for that particular combination.

With my recent bad experience with modchipman.com posted here, on Reseller Ratings, and Ars Technica, I expect an influx of some readers. Will they stay? Who knows, but at least I’ll be able to watch them, and hopefully learn more about what people want to read.
