Am I your portal to Charo?
The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride (hereafter known simply as “me”) really want to know.
Since moving to WordPress, while this site has not exactly set the blogsphere (or blogoverse, if you prefer) on fire, it has more than tripled the number of readers I used to get when I blogged on the unpainted side of a barn. But I digress.
So while I am not getting hundreds or thousands of views per day, I am getting anywhere from 95- 155 per day. Big numbers? If you are CNN, no. If you are the guy who posts different irrelevant top ten lists every week, no. (This week’s was about mail order brides. He left one out- #11- They drug you and steal your kidneys while you are on vacation.) Again, I digress. Wildly. I am digressing the Hell out of this blog. Anyway, big numbers. Are 95-155 views per day a lot? If you are me, yes.
What concerns me, though, is what drives these numbers. Let me show you a sample of search engine terms that have driven traffic to my blog over the past few weeks.
SEARCH
richard simmons
charo

1970 + role model
role models of the 70’s
charo cuci cuci

did jimmie walker attend esther rolle’s funeral
esther rolle funeral
marcia strassman

who were 1970 male role models?
See a trend here? These were not one-time searches, theese turn up every day in my blog stats. So every day someone goes to google or yahoo or googwho or whatever and types in “did jimmie walker attend esther rolle’s funeral.” Every single day someone types in “charo cuci cuci” and ends up here. Some days these searches are responsible for over half of all my blog views.
Who knew Charo was still so popular?
Anyway, for anyone who really needs Charo pics and more, here are the links you need:
1970’s TV Role Models
1970’s Role Models Round Two
1970’s Role Models Round Three
Who is the best 1970’s television role model? FINAL ROUND!
For better, and possibly funny, blogs, try these:
No Toilet No Bride
Early Saturday Morning, Drunk in the Laundromat
The Brighton Beach Rats
The Burger King Whopper Virgins
A Day In The Life of Tony Danza’s Agent
Do I feel like a tool for plugging myself? Yes I do. But not as much of a tool as the guys who search for Charo cuci cuci pics every single day.
And if you happen to be one of those guys, thanks, and this is for you:
Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride 
Congrats on the increase in traffic since moving to WordPress! Here’s what shows up as search terms used to access my blog:
old lady
old lady sexy
texas cowboy draw
old
pictures of computers with passwords
mrs duggar naked
cats and dogs cartoon
cartoons middle school
sexy old lady
facebook humor
orthodox agnostic
old lady photos
old lady pictures
picture of old lady
bikini old lady
bony anorexic woman drawings
pregnancy test animated
humorous pregnancy tests
My one blog post titled “Well, Tan My Hide!” which has a photo of a bony old lady in a thong bikini generates at least 250 to 300 hits a week. Cucci, cucci it ain’t, but I’ll take it.
And, no, I have no idea why anyone would want to see Mrs. Duggar naked. But then again, maybe Jim Bob knows something we don’t know about the missus’ compelling sexiness.

That is scary. Sometimes I have no idea what steers people’s boats.

If you go to Google images and enter “old lady” in the search engine, my blog comes up as the second result. Go figure…
