There are some classics in there, guys, and yeah, I think you got me beat. "do it yourself liposuction" is priceless! (Yikes ... now this post will start to rank for that phrase. Just you watch.) And Miram -- very good point about the long tail often bringing in useless/unwanted traffic, too. Very true. LOL!

We get lots of traffic for 'bad websites' because of an article I wrote a few years back about this topic. Maybe a little weird for a web design company to be getting traffic for this. Apart from the funny aspect of this post, it also shows how the long tail can certainly bring in folks who are NOT looking for what you've got, so it's a bit of a cautionary tale. Good post, Matt. Miriam I’m laughing.

I did a single post on that a while back and its still ranking #4 on Google. I also get traffic from "cover the earth logo" and, not suprisingly, "the apprentice" and all it's variations.
