I posted earlier this month about my blog being returned as a search result on a mis-typed Google query for “hot to treat a boil on my butt”. This was due to separate earlier posts containing the words “my butt” and “boil“. And, I might add, the posts had absolutely NOTHING to do with any lesions/sores on my posterior. Honest. Seriously, go look. I’ll wait.

Anyhoo, why am I bringing this charming subject up again? Because I’ve irritated the boil problem by posting about it. Do a Google search now for “how to treat a boil” and that post shows up on page two of the results. I’ve inadvertantly managed to drive new traffic to my blog using a very unpleasant catalyst.

I feel bad for those who’ve stumbled across my blog while searching for relief to what I’m sure is a very uncomfortable problem and instead found a smart aleck post about the mysteries of search. If you fit in this category, please look here for information to tame the red angry welt that’s now causing both of us a pain in the @ss.
