For a stat geek like MDJ Superstar, the statistical tracking over at WordPress is incredibly interesting. It gives a rundown of site traffic, search terms people used to find the blog, incoming links, etc. – in short, anything you need to know to tailor a marketing plan to monetize a blogsite.

I don’t quite know what to think, however, of the Google terms that WordPress tells me people use to find my blog. Here’s my Top 10 Search Terms over the last 90 days.

  1. Tracy Isabel Borres – I think we’re all incredibly bored with the travails of this unfortunate young lady, but she was responsible for the biggest traffic days for me. I owe her an orange mocha frappuccino, at the very least…
  2. Twilight is gay – Whew. And I thought the only one who felt this way about that abomination of a movie. If I want vampires, I’d look up Bram Stoker. If I want sexual tension, I’d look up Judith McKnaught. Twilight serves no discernible purpose in modern civilization, except to prove that all it takes to make a hit movie is a cute boy and a Nu Metal soundtrack.
  3. DDB Philippines – And the De Joya legacy lives on…
  4. Jestoni Alarcon  - Who would have thought that a fading 80′s sexual icon could still generate so much site traffic? I should start writing about Jovit Moya and Ronnie Ricketts, at this rate…
  5. MDJ Superstar – My name isn’t even the top search term for my blog. The embarrassment of it! I think I need to stop spending my astounding amount of disposable income (!!!) on pretty boots and comic books, and start investing in a massive brand-building campaign for myself…
  6. Big stiff nipples –
  7. Porky Pigging – I think I should just jump the shark, and turn this into a blog about embarrassing sexual practices.
  8. Thorn & Bone – Well, I confess to being a huge-ass fan of Jeff Smith’s wonderful Bone comic book series, but apparently not a whole lot of other people are. Friends, forget Sandman, forget Watchmen, forget Batman, Bone is the real deal!
I’ll try to phrase this as sensitively and politically-correct as I can, but please don’t kick my ass if it comes out the wrong way. 

Here’s my opinion.
“Twilight” is gay.
Not to be judgmental, but it’s minus one billion points for you in my book if you happen to list in your Friendster profile any combination of the following as your favorite book.
  1. “The Alchemist”
  2. “Tuesdays With Morrie”
  3. “The Fountainhead”
  4. “The Da Vinci Code”
  5. The whole freaking Twilight series
The only literature people need in this world are Batman comic books and anything by Alan Moore (just finished the kick-ass “From Hell”, upon recommendation from RJ Ledesma), Jeff Smith (well, that’s really just the “Bone” series, but still…), Neil Gaiman (am finally completing my “Absolute Sandman” set this Saturday… Fully Booked has Volume 4!), or Frank Miller.
Yun lang pow.

Because I scored a ticket to the Eraserheads reunion concert this Saturday.

And because I have the first three Twilight audiobooks loaded fresh and ready on my iPod for the long drive home.

Perfectly acceptable way to end a righteously bad day, if you ask me.
