Dear Creeper,
Ooops this isn’t what you were looking for, was it?? You see, there’s a little function on WordPress where I can see the search terms people are using on Google to get to my blog. Every single day for three weeks now, you have been searching for “the other Courtney, sisters in bath photo” and about 20 other variations of that sentence. It was taking you to a post I made a long time ago about my amazing sisters, and happened to include a picture of us four in the bath (no nudity only our heads popping out). That post is now private because of you, psycho.
At first I thought it was my brother in law doing the searching, he was making a wedding slideshow with some of my kid pictures. But our wedding was almost a week ago and the frantic searches continue. In fact, since I blocked the post, the searches have become even more desperate sounding and lengthy. “Photo challenge, sisters bath, the other Courtney, sisters photo, photo.”
At this point I’m not sure who you are, but please know there are easy ways for me to find out. Everything online is traceable, and WordPress makes it even easier to trace the pieces of shit like yourself. I can’t think of any other reason a person would search for that photo multiple times a day other than perverted ones, so please discontinue and go jump off a bridge.
Sincerely,
The Other Courtney (the scary don’t-mess-with-me-or-my-sisters Courtney)
What the hell? I don’t get some people.
Yeah. Not okay.
Awh no that really is creepy and disgusting. Hope you can find out who it is and report them.
So gross, right? When I get back from Hawaii I’m going to contact WordPress about it!
I love going through the search terms, they crack me up every time. It’s funny that after you blocked the post, the searches have become more desperate and lengthy 🙂
Someone once found my blog Googling “Habits of camels”. Got a good kick out of that, I did.
Hahaha what a bizarre thing to search for. Maybe a kid doing a report on camels? Or just a curious adult 🙂 I’m guilty of “googling” odd things just out of curiousity!
I believe it pulled up a blog I wrote referencing 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. 🙂 certainly not what they wanted, I suspect.
hahah nope! Maybe you should write a post “7 habits of highly effective camels.” THAT could generate some serious blog traffic 😀
Oh man, mind blown.
So I got some weird traffic yesterday that I felt was worth sharing with you, given we just had this conversation. Apparently, someone was looking for Saran Wrap porn and stumbled across my Geek Out blog dubbed “Saran Wrap Edition”. They were surely disappointed.
But Saran wrap porn, really? People are weird.
Hahaha oh my word. If only it showed a picture of the person searching that. Saran Wrap porn? So many questions…..
Thanks for sharing, made my dull morning a bit brighter 🙂
I know they usually make me laugh, too! These searches, however, did not. Since posting this the psycho has stopped the searching. I am still going to contact WordPress though! 🙂
I, too, love the creative way that you have addressed this. And now I am off to check the privacy settings on my phone and various online accounts.
Thank you, Kendra! I’m glad it has inspired you to recheck your accounts- I’m going to do the same.
Ok…that is creepy. I have looked before at the listing of who has clicked on my wordpress link as well as what the search terms (omg I cannot believe some of them). You can sort of tell if it’s the first few clicks as they might match up. But you are right, there are other ways to find out … I can’t believe people don’t know that these days.
I have been careful about privacy online … but have let it slip a bit … after reading this blog post I am once again thinking I need to be a bit more vigilant. *sighs* … I hate that sometimes it has to be this way.
haha I know some of the search terms are outrageous!! I LOVE reading through them, most of the time haha.
Your are right, it’s hard to remember sometimes how gross people can be with your info you share. I probably need to be more private about certain things, so this was a good reminder. Thanks for your thoughts!
This is Icky…. But I love your creative way of getting in touch with them. 🙂
Thanks, it worked! 😀
hurrah for stats info! Great post Courtney, name and shame where possible, make it a safer place. Bless you!
Thank you!!
Yes, being a blogger and seeing what people search for is sometimes pretty disgusting. If someone searched like that repeatedly for the same thing, I would be highly disturbed as well. Great post giving him a piece of your mind. But he doesn’t deserved it.
Yep- if it had been just a few times I probably wouldn’t have thought much of it. But three weeks of incessant searching? Not okay. I’m so glad WordPress allows us to see search terms so we can make certain posts private if need be.
OMG!! Court that is so gross!!! I hope you can figure out who the nasty creeper is and block them!! Ehh some people are so disgusting!!
I’m definitely going to figure it out!! Yeah it’s a sad reminder of how careful we need to be with putting our info online. I hate how it has to be that way.
EWWWW! Yick Yick Yick! I second Bridget .. oh HELL no!
I know- so wrong.
HELL YEAH, GIRL! Stay the eff away, you creepy weirdo. UGH. That person should be ashamed. *SMH
SO gross, right? People suck.
omg. totally 😦 I hope it’s stopped by now…
Creepy, indeed, and you’re right to protect yourselves from such fringe people. I also want to add here that I just discovered that photos taken with cell phones are often embedded with the location of that pic, so something to think about.
Why not report this loser to Word Press now?
Good point, Behba. I’m definitely going to talk to WordPress about it! Thankfully, the searches have stopped but I’m still going to look into it.
Oh my gosh….gross
Yep. Sorry you were a part of that pic 😦
Oh hell no!!! When you find out who this disgusting pervert is you let me know and seeing how my husband is trained to kill people with one finger, we will go and take care of things…
DONE! Done and done.
