WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ?
![]() |
Like many sites, this one also has a search engine. You digit a word
and the artificial intelligence lists all the pages where that word appears.
Every week I receive a list of the words that have been searched in the site; it tells me
that during the week there have been 2 searches for this word, 1 for that and so on. Once
I did not care much, but after some time I realized that I could improve the site by
understanding what people looked for in it, and so started to pay attention.
Some searches, though, make the mind boggle. I mean, who can look for
"sex", "tomato sauce" and "20 or 30" in a site on the
Colosseum?
And what about "julius ceaser" and "tourist features of the colosseum"
? I thought that the amphitheatre itself was a tourist feature (of the city of Rome, I
guess).
One thing I learnt: now when I use a search engine I take more care of the spelling.
Nobody is going to find anything on emperors if he digits "flavian
emporers".
Here is a list of the search reports: have fun !!
