Referral statistics tell what websites send people to your blog; I like to look at them -call it vanity or curiousity. People all over the world use Google or other search engines to ask for all kinds of things; some of them turn up here at Dove's Eye View. Welcome!
Just a sample from today:
Google searches:
Hummous

Also:
Lebanon blogs (dormant site, still brings traffic)

And last but not least, my favorite food blogger, Mark Bittman of the New York Times, shouted me out today for my fabulous comments. Yippee!
hey leila, you've got some fantastic recipes here.
the weirdest search result i get is people stopping by that are googling "shaving baby head." i did one diary linking to a guy living in china whose baby had his head shaved, and now i get about a person or two a week looking for "shaving baby heads."
