I’ve been playing around with Wordtracker this morning, which is a keyword research service run out of London. The company monitors what people are searching for and sells the results to site owners and anyone else who wants to please the Google gods.

(The title of this post, by the way, is a test: does combining the 13th and 43rd most popular recent searches turn into a torrent of traffic? I’ll let you know if I see any goosing of stats. Sorry to those who ended up here looking for real information: As far as I know, even Jon and Kate can participate in cash for clunkers.)

Anyway, one of WT’s free services allows you type a phrase and WordTracker will tell you the most common questions people are asking that incorporate those words. I tried a bunch and this one cracked me up. Entering my wife’s name resulted in this: Apparently, in my market, there’s an insatiable demand for information about Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. And a little less so about Leonardo da Vinci. What a scrub!
