after watching the stats meter for a while i been noticing somethings, maybe my blog is not representative of the rest, but here are some interesting results:
#1 looking for health info/benefits about tea... #2 Wuyi oolongs for losing weight #3 green tea bags ... #4 assam ctc !?
most visiting are from ... USA, little from canada, a good number from UK, and small number from the rest: germany, australia, taiwan, etc... 1 from russia
Generally speaking I get very few search hits -- most of my visitors come on their own accord. Recently though somebody googled "laphroaig scotch TEA PU-ERH" and came to my blog. I hope somebody's not thinking laphroaig is puerh

Pretty much standard, most of mine are the same. Health, weight loss, green tea. I get a few real searches by Chinese tea name, and I also get water heater water temp searches for some unknown reason Google sends 'em my way to what I can only guess is total disappointment.
I find this to be the same in everyday life in the U.S. Almost everyone who approaches me, finds out about me, or sees my tea only has those same ideas: health, weight loss, green tea. It's kind of disheartening, and especially for them when I blow a few holes in that magical panacea they have in their heads. I wish it wasn't that way, and I always stress the fact that tea is special for many real reasons and that any benefits are icing on the cake. Sometimes they respond favorably, other times I am an idiot because they have a friend who was cured of terminal cancer while being saved from shark attack all because they had a cup of green tea that morning.
To each their own, I just wish the average "sheeple" in the U.S. could find their own brain beyond the marketing departments of some company.

Most of my google hits are related to "nerd(y) wallpaper(s)." Sigh.

It might be true to some extent, but in a roundabout way. The tea can displace other drinks that aren't so good - sodas, beer, sugared instant teas, wine, spirits. In this sense water would be just as good, if not better, but it's taste is boring for most people. But I see what you mean!

Oddly enough, the Half-Dipper gets a lot of traffic for people searching for the phrase "Crusty Jugglers".
In fact, of the 59,000 Google hits for "Crusty Jugglers", the Half- Dipper is ranked #1. I'm not sure if that's something to be happy about...
"Lincang puer" and "confucian tea house beijing" are the highest- ranked searches concerning tea, after "Half Dipper"-related phrases.
My personal favourites from the list of searches are:
i. "nastiest ingredients in cigarettes" ii. "toodlepip origins" iii. "urine tasting" iv. "it is the hour of the dragon"
