A Google Rat Muppet, can't believe I found this! |
Number one & two Google search term used to find me: "Hilary Wagner" and "Hilary Wagner Author" Okay, good! That's a great sign right?
Number three Google search term used: "Nightshade City" or "Nightshade City sequel". These are relatively equal in terms of usage. Another good sign! People are looking for my book AND Book II! LOVE THIS!
Number four Google search term: "Marietta Zacker"
Makes perfect sense! I rave about my agent and I'm glad people get to know more about her through me.
This is where things get, well, weird...
Number five search term used (and mind you, this term comes up NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY):
"RAT TATTOO"
Ha! Yes! I never knew how popular rat tattoos were, but apparently worldwide they are highly sought after, from NY to the Netherlands, people find my blog everyday searching for rat tattoo designs, primarily because of Omar Rayyan's (NC's illustrator) fan tattoo of one of Nightshade City illustrations. It's incredibly cool to have one of your book's characters on someone permanently! I wonder if the guy below donning that awesome tattoo actually read the book or found the illustration online--super cool either way!
Omar's illustration and the resulting fan tattoo! |
You gotta love it! So, any odd search terms used that cause people to pull up your blog time and time again? One time, someone Googled, "spooky dead guys and hair balls" and yes, my blog came up! Don't ask... ;)
