I get more searches

Fun ones showing up recently:

"how to get money for my car in ocean county, nj": Um, good luck with that.

"www.politicsnj.com" and "politicsnj": Why not just go there? Why do a search on it? I guess they're looking for folks who link to it, but there have to be lots and there are tools for that sort of thing.

"antibacterial soap vs. hand sanitizer" : Antibacterial soap bad, hand sanitizer helpful, go with the soap and water. See here.

"afghan kebab house metuchen nj" : Rob blogged about that here while I was away, and I guess they have no web site of their own. I come up as the third site on Google. I'll have to get up there and try it out!

"Petty's Island" and "petty's island" : Still my most popular search terms by far even though I haven't written anything new in a while. I guess not too many other folks have either if I'm getting hits on it. Oh, here's the post (and the follow-up)if you came in from that search term. Hope it's helpful.

"nj life" : That's what it's all about, fans and friends. Enjoy the weekend.

It's amazing how many people will type a URL into a search engine rather than use the address bar in their web browser.

People are funny that way...

It's actually not that surprising. A lot of browsers have a search engine integrated into the address bar. At work, I can type in a url and click directly, or a search term and pull down Google with my mouse. It's not that different, and it's cause me to do a search on a URL more than once.

I heard once the more antibacterial hand wash you use without water can actually do more harm than good.:(

According to the article, "Panelists also distinguished alcohol-based hand cleansers from antibacterial soaps and washes. The cleansers are particularly useful in situations where there is no soap and water."
Here's the article. I don't think the alcohol in the antibacterial hand gels has the same problem of developing bacterial resistance as the antibacterial soaps do, but they don't mention this too specifically.
