You learn something everyday.
This blog uses WordPress site statistics, and it appears that early this morning someone from a country called Réunion visited Suzanne’s Mom’s Blog.
I admit to ignorance. I don’t think I have ever heard of Réunion.
So I looked it up. It’s an island in the Indian Ocean.
“Réunion Island (in French, La Réunion ) is a multicultural society composed of people originally from France, Mozambique, India, China, Madagascar, and the Comores. Islanders use their ethnic origins to define themselves as Cafres (African ancestry) Z’oreilles (born in mainland France), malabars or Tamouls (from Tamil Nadu southern India), Z’arabes (from Gujarat in northern India), Chinois (from China), Malgaches (from Madagascar), Comores (from Comores), Petits blancs (poor rural whites living in the highlands), or Creoles blancs (white landowners). The term Creole today also applies to people with a mixed ethnic background. All the residents of the island are administratively French citizens.”

You might also send me your best guess as to why someone from this island a world away landed at this blog. Could the Réunion visitor have been the person who searched on the words “Arab mom blog”? Or was that the visitor from Bulgaria?
I love reading what people search on and trying to guess how they landed here. This is not an Arab mom blog or any kind of mom blog, but since I have “mom” and “blog” in the title and sometimes mention family from Egypt, Google decides to send folks here.


I’m always leery of how much sites can learn about me from Google analytics–like, for example, the last site I visited.
I bet the visitor from Réunion enjoyed your blog 🙂
I have been experimenting with Google alternatives in mail and search, but Google just works better. Still, I may eventually move all my mail to hushmail. The search tool duck duck go doesn’t track you, but it is not a powerful as Google. You also can load “do not track.” That way, you will know in general how many entities are following you.
