Answer me this! Reviewing my keyword traffic sources in Google Analytics can occasionally be an amusing experience. A recent favorite: “Can You Eat Bears In Bulgaria?” Dear Internet Searcher: No, probably not — but there aren’t yet any laws about them eating you! You can, however, visit the Dancing Bear Sanctuary near Bansko. Read on for more amusing internet searches and my [less amusing] answers!
