How Do People Find Small Town Misfit?
I’ve been looking through the traffic logs recently and I want to share some of the top keywords that send traffic to Small Town Misfit via search engines.
Here’s how it works: When a website visitor searches for something, like “Midget Prostitutes” in Google, and then clicks on a link to Small Town Misfit, that keyword shows up in the site’s log. Don’t worry, the searches and logging are all anonymous! =)
So here is a selection of the most popular keywords sending us traffic:
Looks like we’re a pretty well-adjusted group!

I added Small Town Misfit to MY Yahoo! with a RSS reader or at least I think that’s how I found it.
March 6th, 2007 at 3:10 am
I added it to my homepage, when it popped up as a story on Inside My Yahoo… been tracking you silly people’s thoughts ever since…hehe, including my own… and thanks Travis for all the fun and laughs I get from this site.

I’m with GT and rebs, I found it when looking for RSS feeds to add to my “My Yahoo” page (just over a year ago). Sometime after that I finally succumbed to the urge to start posting replies, and y’all have been stuck with me ever since…

Another yahoo addict here. On a side note, those searches sound like a fun Saturday night!

I found STM while setting up my My Yahoo! page content and immediately fell in love with the wonderful wackiness of the whole thing. Thanks, Travis, STM is really… something.

Well, count me as another Yahoo RSS content convert. After a few forays into adding comments (coming out of my shell), I simply added it to the “My Search” toolbar buttons. One click and I’m in! Unfortunately, this site takes away from my productivity at work as I’m doing all of this on my work laptop.
March 6th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Doesn’t matter how I found it, I’ve found a home.
March 6th, 2007 at 9:49 am
yahoo! brought us all together. Thanks to everyone who comments and and gives me a little chuckle everyday while I’m at work. I don’t comment much because most times you all already said what I was thinking. So who out there was looking for a midget prostitute???
March 6th, 2007 at 10:35 am
I came from a feed recommended by Yahoo, too. I was hooked from the first story — the black lab with a bottle of vodka and a vibrator hanging around his neck — and became enamored by leah, Ber and the rest of the assorted crazies who post on here.
Thx, Travis, for giving idle hands something besides the devil’s work to do. And, hey, wht(?) asked recently about your STM Princess a little while ago, but no reply…….new pix? How’s it goin? Anything???

And I think it was the Chef doing all the searches for gator hunters. I guess he doesn’t think Mike is willing to “go the distance” for his new recipe. Mike, I wouldn’t take that from him, if I were you.
March 6th, 2007 at 10:42 am
It wasn’t me Stets. ‘Midget Prostitutes’ is not a topic that ever really crossed my mind. But now that Travis has suggested it, sorta letting that cat outta that bag….
March 6th, 2007 at 10:47 am
And the site has obviously gotten big enough to attract its very own troll. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, though…….
March 6th, 2007 at 11:02 am
I found the site through a yahoo side bar and added it to my yahoo homepage. It definiately distracts from work (thus my recent absence) but I check everyday for the current dialog and am never disappointed (yeah us!).
I also want to thank you, Travis, for all the hard work you put in to this site and the fine job you do selecting postings.
In a side note…are the “Midget Prostitutes” half price? Just curious.
March 6th, 2007 at 11:30 am
I’d prefer a two for one deal, myself, iron…….
March 6th, 2007 at 11:35 am
Very nice, I have fun looking through my referers from Google too, but this list tops anything I’ve had. Not sure how/when I discovered STM - but I have it linked to on my site, it’s enjoyable.
March 6th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
My husband emailed the site to me, as he knows how fond I am of the local police blotter. I have no idea how he found you, but I’m glad he did! Now I have a place to send all the ridiculous stuff that happens here in Cincinnati. Thanks Travis!
March 6th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Noticed that most folks don’t have ‘profiles’. Would be nice if folks did…don’t you think? This is a good bunch. It’d be nice to more about ‘us’.
March 6th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
My Yahoo seems to be the main one,. That’s where I luckily found you all. I do VERY FEW of the blots but you guyz are like one big family where we can pick on, laugh with, read some sad past tales, and share the food and drinks of the Road Kill Kafe, and its strange and wonderful “creators”. And rub a few EGOS, [SLY MIKE AND FUNKER], feel better? Us crazy chickies, WE know who we are and how well we stagger!!
Thank you so much Travis for bringing this “sick Puppy” along for the ride. Keep up the great work.

How do we do profiles for this site? I crossed over your name Ritch, and it gave me You and your wife’s site, AWWW how cute. I know we had to be O.K.d by Travis before we could get in, Lots of info and such, so I would feel safer going through the sight, for a profile.
March 6th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Be afraid, MM. Be VERY afraid… On the other hand, if you encounter any STM candidates in OK, feel free to submit them, Travis has no problem using suggested items.
March 6th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
I am another one who does not comment much but a lot of you I look forward to reading your comments. Not like other sites, as I agree with the comments and no whining. Keep up the good work. Gotta go, just heard a drive by, the deer ain’t as good ifn u leve um sit to long. Long live the drive by Cafe.

If it wasn’t for a small try this in the left column on My Yahoo, Id still be searching the porno net all evening. Now I can enjoy safe humor and crime from all the local misfits from Grass valley to Boston. Good thing we don’t do those things in Phoenix, AZ
March 6th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
hey all i just joined here a little while ago, and if i can find a link to my local paper/blotter, id sure give it to you. i found this comment site thru my yahoo, and have been entertained ever since, enuff to get a name here anyway! just a note, when my sis went to college many years ago, she requested the local paper be sent there, just so they could cut out the police notes, and posted them in the hallways of her college, and she says it was the laugh of many evenings. ill do my best to find a link somewhere for you all. if you dont see it soon, remind me to find it. im a forgetful soul.
March 6th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
I’m thinking, MustangMike, that small porno has some connection to those midget “entrepreneurs”…
March 6th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
I found STM when I googled my hometown, Chadron,NE. I have since found that STM is a much better place to call home…I feel like I kow you all so well…its’ bringing tears to my eyes…and we’ve never met in person….sob, sniff, snort, sob, sob, bawl….
March 6th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
You guys make doing this site very easy. Thanks for reading, and for all the great comments!
March 7th, 2007 at 3:10 am
Funk, get your hands off of your LAP TOP! Back away from yur misfits, er your laptop you’re stuck with your misfits!! Haven’t you heard? You can pick … all kinds of things… but you can’t pick your family, or your misfit family!
March 7th, 2007 at 6:00 am
There, there, ber.. Here’s a hankie. I think we all feel pretty much the same. Travis, excellent job as usual. Here’s a toast to much more small town misfittiness - misfititude - whatever, here’s to more of it!
March 7th, 2007 at 10:41 am
Sorry for the delayed response. My computer kicks me out of STM from time to time and makes it difficult to log back in. You’ll notice a slightly different screen name. Anyway…
Goddess, you said you saw my site and my WIFE’S site? She doesn’t have a site. I’d be interested to know what you saw. All I get is my yahoo profile which I’ve listed on my SMT profile.
This thread has been a good one, if for no other reason it pulled out some of the SMT lurkers, which are always good to see. Most of these folks seem to have confirmed that one of the more impressive aspects of this site is the unusual lack of….how to put this politely, hmmm…the lack of buttholes that seem to find their way into good groups and start ticking people off. No one’s on a crusade here and 99.9% of the time is all very good natured. A rarity on the internet.
March 7th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
For me it’s not so much sentiment as it is an addiction—to STM. lol
March 7th, 2007 at 8:34 pm
I agree, Ritch. I have to admit to a rather large amount of bile build-up upon discovering the first troll sighting. One of the nicer things about this site is that we understand — and usually prefer — the subtlety of sarcasm (especially after receiving our post-grad education at the hands of Ber and leah.) and humor. Not to mention the fact that we all understood: Do Not Feed the Trolls (no matter how tempting) — it just gives them a reason to stay.
March 8th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Ritch,
. NOTHING BAD, I aam wondering how to get one too. but I guess I just answered my own silly question huh? Yahoo profiles,,,, duhhhhh. When I find out how to move photos from my folders to e mail I will get mine updated and put something in there, the yahoo one I have now is an “avitar” Pink cowboy hat, bunny slippers, messy office, pigtails and my long-haired white cat.
Curser over your name, in orange ABOVE “Ritchwilliams says:” At the bottom of my screen it says site the click will take you to, It tells me, http//profiles.yahoo.com/ritchwilliams , it doesn’t have a “per say”, site for your wife, just a sweet photo that you “i assume” you put in your Yahoo profile page, if it isn’t your wife you are probably in alot of trouble by now
March 8th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Sorry Ritch, the photo is not there now. didn’t mean to make you paranoid. ORRRRR, I had too many MARTUNIES AT THE Kafe!!! Me singing,, “That’s my Story, and I’m stickin’ to it” .
But seriously Ritch,, I don’t know what happened to the photo, it was attached to your profile a week or so ago when I e-mailed you regarding a person that I felt was insulting you on this site.
March 8th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Mustang mike, small porno is the opposite of what my X hubby thought he was, OK AND it is the same as what I am from my shoulders to my belly-button. SHEESH, told ya I was HORRIBLY honest!!
March 8th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Oh please, wht, you’re on a roll (with honey and butter, I would think)…..do tell…
May 21st, 2007 at 6:42 pm
I searched “why do people live in small towns” in Google and ended up here. It does not answer my question!! Why, oh, why, oh, why don’t they move out? Why do people make babies there in the first place? A mystery!
