Quad Letter Domains

I check this sites statistics nearly everyday. Its addictive, trying to better the previous days traffic or hoping that a new article does well for search terms and is popular with visitors. Its also a good way to boost your moral when developing a project and you see a sites daily visitors increase every month. Anyway, that aside, what has amazed me this month is that since I started to publish lists of LLLL combinations I seem to have stumbled on a whole new world of statistical data.

Here’s a quick snippet of some of the terms being searched for that have directed people to Quad Letter Domains as a result:

saxy poge
ebop ekop
bara bara figu fagi
jepo niva
xesi rucas
cuco y keka de jaca
nigu cewe games

It begs the question - just what are these people searching for? I have no idea if these searches are in another language, some of them certainly appear to be. Maybe people are looking for legitimate sites or just messing around in the search engines typing rubbish. Who knows? Maybe it is end users looking to see if the domain they want is in use and have no idea how to check the whois.

I have decided that these bizarre search results are distorting my actual site statistics and have decided to alter my robots.txt to disallow my uploads directory from being spidered. I can’t see how finding this site from making those searches is going to help anyone…

In any case, its a real eye opener and certainly something to take into consideration when you are pondering your next LLLL.com purchase. This is obviously where some random domains get their organic traffic. For what reason though, I have no idea!
