Alpha Man -- and why search engines are funny things

I was looking at my page referrers report today. It tells me how readers of my blog find me, and helps me understand what my readers are looking for. "Edible weeds" is always high up there, and so is "bulbs," which makes sense because I've written about those topics. But I was surprised to see search terms like "Alpha Man," "Cuban men nude," "Peter Pan," "American nude women" and several variations thereof.

I can understand how Google led surfers in search of "Cuban men nude," to the Garden Detective blog, as an earlier post on World Naked Gardening Day 2008 mentioned that Cuban-born actress Eva Mendes likes to garden in a natural state. But I can't imagine the disappointment readers must have felt when they realized there were no "Cuban men nude" on this page. Nor any American nude women. And I have no idea what Alpha Man is about. But perhaps those who seek him can benefit from a recipe for dandelion salad.
