A Letter to Those of You who Arrived at FiveBlondes via Search Engines
Filed Under SEO, answer, blogging, erica, facebook, google, internet, life, random, scrabulous, technology | 2 Comments
Firstly, thank you for visiting. If I knew you were coming I’d have baked a cake.
To the visitor who searched for “where is nudge button scrabulous“: alas, Scrabulous has altered the use of the ‘nudge’. No longer can you nudge at will; now they make you wait a few days. Personally I enjoy that feature as I have had up to 12 games on the go at once. It can be hard to keep up!
For our many visitors who arrive with inquiries on how to keep track of who has visited your Facebook profile page: I must redirect you to Facebooking101.com. They note that there is currently only one FB (same initials as FiveBlondes…coincidence? Yeah, prolly) app that tracks who visited your page - and those viisting must also have that app for it to work properly (if at all). Anyway, it’s called Trazkor, and it doesn’t seem to work.
Looking for Erica Lauren, adult film star? Well, we have Erica and we have Lauren, but sadly (for you) no Erica Lauren.
Lastly, we have what is perhaps my favorite source of traffic. Those of you looking for “Lululemon Butt Pics”. While we do love our Lulu, if there are any pictures of our butts in them, it is not intentional.
So, to all you disappointed visitors I extend my apologies and st the same time I thank you for visiting. I hope you found something you liked.
Thanks for reading! Did you know you can get Five Blondes delivered (semi) daily? Just click for our RSS feed. See you soon!

Fechr is a site that (as its name suggests) features a different blog every day. It’s great for people like me who spend time clicking from blog to blog, looking for those gems hidden among the random, rarely-updated blogs abandoned by their keepers. It’s also great for bloggers like us, just trying to drive traffic! Maybe you’ll see us on Fechr one of these days…
Today’s “fechr” is a favorite blog of mine, Bloggrrl! For those interested in Bloggrrl, she has fantastic tips on blogging, making money blogging, and has possibly my favorite blog banner of all time. I highly suggest taking a look!
If you have your own blog, why not get yourself featured too? Let everyone know that the FiveBlondes told you about Fechr, of course!

Googling Five Blondes
Filed Under SEO, blogging, erica, google, life, random, technology, thoughts, writing | 3 Comments
Although choosing Five Blondes as our blog title was a fairly quick and painless decision, there was definitely a lot of thought put into it. Thought, research, and Googling. If we tell someone about our blog and they Google us, what comes up? Are there any other blogs or websites with like names? Could the results be embarrassing?
After a month (and not-too-many posts), the results are in.
Google: “fiveblondes”
We are first! Not surprising. We are also second, third, fourth…of the two pages of results, only the last two links are not us. The last link is, unfortunately, a porn film titled “5 blondes”. Seeing that makes me very happy that we didn’t use “5 Blondes” as our blog name (it was in the running).
Google: “five blondes”
We are…third. Second link is the aforementioned adult film’s listing on IMDB (here titled “Five Blondes” - but I know that’s wrong, I saw the cover of the DVD). The film apparently sucks - that may be the wrong word to use - let’s go with ‘is not very good.’ The film is apparently not very good, judging by the 3.5/10 rating.
The first link is a blonde joke on someone’s Geocities page that was added over seven years ago. Nothing dies on the internet! The webmaster’s page hasn’t been updated in over a year, as far as I can tell. I haven’t visited a Geocities page in years.
What about those inferior links under us? Well, they’re mostly blonde jokes, as well as a few links about that, um, film. So, in honor of those blonde jokes and in good humour (we like to laugh!), I am adding a blonde joke to this post.
In fact, I’ve found a blonde joke titled “The Blonde’s Sister.”
A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss, concerned about all his employees’ well being, asked sympathetically, “What’s the matter?”
To which the blonde replies…..”Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away.”
The boss, feeling very sorry at this point, explains to the young girl, “Why don’t you go home for the day…..we aren’t terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest.”
The blonde very calmly states……”No, I’d be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here.”
The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual, saying “If you need anything, just let me know.”
Well, a few hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out over his office and sees the blonde hysterically crying!! He rushes out to her, asking, “Are you gonna be ok??”
“No,” exclaims the blonde. “I just got a call from my sister. She told me that HER mom died too!!”
BA-DUMP-BUMP!
Umm…love you, Mom! Link love you too!
A final note: If you google all of our names at once (”erica micaela katelyn leah lauren“), we are first…of 48,000!
