I have decided that I'm happy for people to actually find my website when they search for my name - even the stuff in here is pretty innocuous and is unlikely to make potential employers think "God, no!" (unlike Alex's journal :) ). This means that I should include meta-tags. Which means that I have to think of ways to describe my website. Which is a bit tricky somehow. It hasn't really got much on it apart from this journal and the photos (I suppose there is the writing section, but in true ironic fashion I haven't got round to finishing my essay on political apathy). How would you describe it?

Given this post and the amount of stuff about the re-design I've written the two descriptions which come to my mind are over analytical and self absorbed.

Also, I've noticed that quite a lot of sites (and as I say this I realise that I can't think of any examples off hand) have lists of their most recent google search referrals, or just their most recent referrals. How do you get those?

I wasn't too happy when I found out some people had found my website but nothing has come of it. I can only assume they read my LJ too.

There's nothing work could be unhappy with, I just figured I'd get even less respect if they saw some of the photos of me and my friends...

I guess they might think I'm a bit weird, at worst.

Yeah - I figure that worst case scenario they'll decide that I'm a bit cutsie and try to be patronising but I don't really think any of this lot would as they're slightly in awe of me because I understand the magical internet and they don't really :)

Heh.

Course with the dominatrix effect of some of my outfits I might scare them instead. ;)

How do you know what the search terms were?

To find out what search terms people use to find you, you need to have your site on a server that keeps logs of all requests, and that includes the Referer header field that was supplied with the request. The Referer field gives the URL of the previous page; if the previous page happend to be a search-results page, this will generally include the search terms.
