Nude, Nuder, Nudist, Naked, Au Naturel, Starkers, Bare, And Finally, In The Buff

As bloggers who track traffic will have noticed, strange queries bring people to you. Yesterday, I stole a picture from Steve at Steves Nude Memphis Blog:

Sitemeter says three people have come to my blog since then using a Google search for "nude."

While I know I wasn' t what they were looking for, and if psychically, somehow I was, they have more problems that can be addressed in a post, I do thank them for stopping by.

For those that stopped, here's a primer on boolean searching that you might want to read to streamline your quests:

We'll see what the title to this post brings in. (Courtesy of the thesaurus at Answer.com by way of a Google search for "synonym nude," though I came up with In The Buff on my own.) If it's interesting, I'll let you know.

hey, that copyright license is a great idea!

Hey Doc,

Thanks for coming by, even for all the wrong reasons.

Forman,

I like the idea of the Creative Commons licenses. With your pictures, you might want to think of claiming a full common law copyright; because, to my knowledge, the CC stuff has not been tested legally and traditional common law copyright has, though at legal expense.

hmm, thanks for your input, yeah i woudn't want to have to go through legal tests, as those are plenty expensive. So I guess what your saying is, this is worth something, but not enough. I'll keep looking for something better, or i'll pay for copyright licenses to the real good shots.

I once saw an article somewhere that claimed that 1/3 of all web searches were for porn. I can't recall exactly where I saw that figure, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.

See why I put 'nude' in my title? I needed all the help I could get. For awhile there Google fell for it, but eventually they weeded me out of most of the best search results and now I'm forced to scrounge for hits on my own.

So far I've gotten six visiters looking for riffs on nude, nudist being the most popular. Most, interestingly from France. One from Dubai and one from Switzerland.
