Do any of Ray's fans speak Russian? I have a problem and I need the help of a Russian-speaker.
Every so often, a rather unusual problem crops up with a blog. Something in it is obviously mistranslated and Russian adult content-seekers* are misdirected to Ray's blog. I know this because the blog's 'Stats' page all of a sudden shows a spike in hits for a particular posting (a couple hundred pageviews instead of the usual 39.5).
"How do you know it's Russian adult-content-seekers?" you ask.
I know because, also on the 'Stats' page, is a list of the referring websites and URLs. I have learned the hard way not to click on any of these referring websites and URLs if they are dot ru (i.e. Russian).
So here's my problem. In the past when this happened, I was able to take a guess at the word or phrase in the blog that was probably causing the misdirection and was able to change it to something else. This time, I have NO idea what it is about this blog that is causing adult-content-seekers to visit Ray's blog.
So here is the link to the posting that is causing the problem.
POSTING HAS BEEN DELETED**
If any of you have any ideas as to what needs to be changed, please let me know.
* Notice my cagey use of "adult content" instead of the word nrop - you have to read that word backwards - so that more adult-content-seekers aren't misdirected here.
**I edited and re-edited the offending post to take out as many words as possible. Then I changed the title. It was still getting hits from the adult-content-seekers. So I deleted the thing.

I don't speak Russian, but I'm guessing that maybe the words "hot spot" might have had an effect on the adult-content-seeker hits. Other than that, I got nuthin'.
ReplyDeleteI thought of that too, but I use hot spot in other blogs that don't get hits so that can't be it.
DeleteHow about "leash" - some Russian fans of Fifty Shades out there, LOL??
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one, but how many blogs have the word leash in them that don't get all the hits from the content-seekers?
DeleteI just can't figure this out.
Well, geez, now we're all going to look like a bunch of, ah...you-know-whats if we have ideas! (Not that there is anything wrong with that) The first thing that I though of was the word come in the title. Assuming that the title is the attraction.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, hope all is good!
hahahahahaha. You know I never even noticed that the address (oh come on give me a break) was different from the title of the blog (reappearance). I wonder what that is all about.
DeleteI suppose it could be some combo of more than one word...
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny. They think they are going to some American adult content sight and get....RAY!!! and sometimes Moon-Pie and Hugo!! WoooHooo! I can only imagine the thoughts running thru their minds when the worlds best blind hound pops up (heeheeheeheehee) instead of "other things" snicker snicker, giggle giggle.....
ReplyDeleteoh yeah. you're hilarious. ; )
DeleteForget about trying to figure it out. You have gotten English visitors out of this blog. Next thing you know the Russians will be coming. Won't that be fun.
