No, RV52.com has no intent to be “racy” or to turn into a weird RV pornography site. But I thought it might be fun to tell you a little bit more about some of the less RV-like bits of running an RV web site.

The day the traffic spiked for the “Ideal” RV Park in New Mexico

When someone runs a website, they check how many people are visiting. I know I do. I watch it very closely hoping to learn something about my audience.

One day I noticed that traffic for the Ideal RV Park in New Mexico was spiking. It was  a huge, noticeable spike. I pored over my website statistics trying to learn about trends. I asked questions. I created and tested hypothesis.

Finally, next to the page for the park in my statistics analyzer, I clicked on “show keywords” (more on keywords later). I EXPECTED to find words like “New Mexico RV Park” or “RV Parks near Roswell” or “Best New Mexico RV Parks”.

But instead, people were finding it using VERY VERY VERY pornographic terms. These terms were generally categorized to be pornographic euphemisms for the female naughty bits.

I was EXTREMELY shocked.

So then I went to the ACTUAL page on my site.

I was DOUBLY EXTREMELY shocked.

One of the features of RV52 is that I automatically “curate” videos related to whatever page your are viewing. In many cases, I use the name of the RV Park and cross reference it with the state.

In this instance, I used the name of the park that was in my database. It was unfortunately shortened to the term “Ideal”. You can imagine that the word “Ideal” can be applied to many many things.

On my page, one of the videos that was automagically matched, was a FULL FRONTAL NUDE of a VERY GOOD, actually an IDEAL, “hoo-hoo”. As it turns out, the search engines, like Google, also know most of the synonyms too.

So I was getting a PILE of visitors who could have cared less about RVing. They were mostly interested in the perfect hoo-hoo.

So I changed the name of the park and made it “Ideal RV Park” which promptly fixed the problem.

I also now know that there is such a thing as labiaplasty and I’ll not soon be able to forget that.

What you may or may not know about how search (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, and more)

Whenever you do a search using Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, the term you used gets passed onto the web site owners when you come to our sites.

Normally, for an RV web site, I get things like “RV Parks near Omaha”, or “Disney RV Parks” , or “how to fix the rv converter”. Pretty normal stuff.

But sometimes I get search terms that, while sometimes RV related, just leave you wondering…

Here are just a couple:

• “pyramiding in the black tank” – Just gives you a real mental picture doesn’t it?
• “nude rv parks” – I’m realizing there is an entire mini-movement around the nude thing.

But the search term that caught my eye one day was RV Sex.

RV Sex – does it exist and is it special and different?

When I saw this, I wondered – what was the person looking for?

Perhaps they owned an RV and were lonely and wondered how they might find some RV sex.

Another thought I had was it could have been a couple and they wanted to spice up their life.

Which got me to thinking that maybe there was something I didn’t know. I sure I don’t know – I’m very sheltered.

So what it good for the goose is good for the gander – I went to Bing and search for “RV Sex”.

It turns out that doing this will get you 40,500,000 matches. FOURTY MILLION. That is quite a bit.

As near as I can tell, most people view RV Sex in any of the following ways:

• One step above a tent so you have to be careful about your neighbors (common one). Evidently the people are not acquainted with Prevost.
• Another set of people, tend to view the RV as this amazing and mysterious thing that counts as a “crazy place”.
• Some people believe that there is a very bad rocking and motion problem with RVs.
• The most interesting people simply view the RV as yet another venue or setting for an entire series or genre of short stories.

Once I thought about the short story thing, I decided to go see what Amazon had on its store shelves.

The first genre of stories were about normal people who have full lives and have a funny story or two about the subject. Like the family who crossed the country and the mom and dad have to deal with being a couple with kids in the RV – small spaces and all that.

 

The rest were VERY RACY books that would be best categorized as erotica. Some of the titles were SO BAD, I would not list them here. Believe it or not – these are some of the tamest titles!!!

     

 

So there you have it. Welcome to the world of keyword analysis and traffic analysis for an RV web site owner!
