Boss Sleeping on the Job? Google it!
I like occasionally going through my statistics and figuring out how people get to my site. But when I saw a Google search on “boss sleeping on the job” pointing to my site though, I thought it might be fun as a Friday post to go over the ten most ridiculous search terms that brought people to YourHRGuy.com this week. So without further ado…
10. “Am I going to get fired” - Gee, if I knew that, this site would be by paid subscription.
9. “How to get fired gracefully” - I want to believe this is the same person as number ten
8. “Blogher sucks” - Okay? So don’t go!
7. “If I’m so great of an employee, why am I stuck here” - Because it is easier than the alternatives.
6. “hrmarketer good?” - I don’t know, ask him
5. “What does a human resources person do?” - He blogs about you day and night. Some other stuff too, I forget.
4. “what is generation x like?” - I wish I knew. The only thing I can say is that they are older than the bratty kids and younger than the old geezers on their way to retirement.
3. “what if company has no hr?” - Count your lucky stars. Granted your employer is probably doing a few things illegally, you probably also have a few hundred less useless policies.
2. “Sleeping with the boss at IBM” - I wish I had blogged about some of these things. In case you’re wondering, it is probably a bad idea, even at IBM.
1. “big women in daisy dukes” - See, I had a guest blogger who talked about daisy dukes and now I get a handful of search terms a week from disappointed daisy dukes viewers. Sorry guys.

- Woman’s Leadership Programs – No Boyz AllowedCompanies will often use external, university-based programs as a way to develop their high potential senior leaders.

#5 made me lol
That’s it?
Hilarious - and just another reason why I told my editors at Workforce Management that they should add you to their list of featured bloggers. If you haven’t heard from them yet, let me know and I’ll tell you who to contact.

Hahaha - I loved #10. I once wrote an article on my personal blog called “stop letting lamers into facebook” - the result was that my blog made it into the top 10 search results for the expression “lame people.” Ouch
Funny stuff. While I’m glad we made the list (hrmarketer good?) I wouldn’t classify “hrmarketer good” as a “most ridiculous search term”
Seriously, what is remarkable about these keywords is it shows you have great SEO. Most bloggers and web sites would love to rank so high on so many different search terms. This is a good thing. Keep up the great blogging.
And to answer the visitor’s question - Yes, HRmarketer is good

Mark - I’m just saying it is ridiculous that it brought people to my site. That’s all. That and the fact that it had a question mark afterward. Is that really necessary? Of course you’re good!
lol cute posting!
