Singapore Swingers hit Feverishthoughts.com – HARD

November 29, 2006 by Tricia

My dear friend Mr. Fab started a campaign a few months ago to try to get more people from China to visit his site. Why I’m not really certain. I think it was just an interesting challenge for him. He really only tried on and off for a few weeks and from what he said he didn’t have that much success.

I, on the other hand, have been having lots of visitors from China. Mainly on my reptile related site but I do think I get more visitors from China on my Feverishthoughts network that Mr. Fab does right now.

Why am I writing about this? Well the other day, last Saturday I think, my husband Chris wrote a story on Odd Planet about how Swingers clubs are becoming increasingly popular in Singapore. We both thought it was an interesting story, but lets facing it, there have been a lot more interesting and funny stories on Odd Planet than the Singapore Swing story.

To our surprise, when I was checking the site stats for my small feverishthoughts network of sites I noticed a huge increase in visitor rates over at odd planet beginning on Sunday. I investigated to see what was going on and I found that over 800 searches for Singapore Sg or Singapore Swingers had brought people to Odd Planet. Monday there were about 600 similar visits. Tuesday maybe 300. So it’s slowing down, but that’s a huge increase in visits for just one simple little post.

Right now, the top search terms for all of the feverishthoughts blogs combined are:

united sg swingers 636
united sg swinger 182
sg swingers 35
sg swinger 16
united sg swingers website 13
hugh laurie snl 78
hugh laurie 14
lucious 17
maniquins 14
photo scavenger hunt 12

Now, the Singapore swing post went up on Odd Planet at about 7 am on Saturday, and the stats are for the whole month, but obviously all the swinger search stats have occurred between Saturday and 6 am Tuesday morning … so four days, there were 882 swinger searches, and even more hits between reading the post and visiting comments etc.

Why did I bring up Fabs quest for China earlier? Well, I also noticed an increase in visitors from Singapore, malaysia, Hong Kong and China – so fab if you want more visitors from China you’d better write something controversial and maybe Kinky about china and see what happens. Ok?

One other pleasing benefit of looking at my stats? The four sites that are live on Feverishthoughts.com – Tricia’s Musings, As the Garden Grows, Breath of Life and Odd Planet are getting bookmarked a lot! A full third of the visitors to these sites are adding them to their bookmarks. Thank you! You like us, you really like us!

Thinking about buying a used car

November 28, 2006 by Tricia

I’m starting to think that we might need to get a new car sometime soon. Our Ford Contour has been acting up a lot over the last two years. It’s only 10 years old, but I think it’s starting to tell us that it might not last that much longer. I said new car, but we can’t afford a new car right now so I’m starting to think about finding a place to purchase reliable Used Cars. I think I might have found the ideal site to search for used cars over at lemonfree.com.

My husband has always been a fan of Honda. We had a Honda Prelude in the early 90’s but this car eventually gave out on us. It did however live to be 14 years old- not that we had it the whole time. It was originally his parents car. So with that in mind I’ve been looking at the Honda area’s of the site, particularly the Honda Accord section.

As I’ve been looking through the site I’ve noticed some features that I really enjoy. When you find a car model that you like you can read a article of the type of car model, crash test results and ratings, you can also read stats on the estimated fuel economy, and recall notices for the make, model and year as well. I really like that part. When we were looking at cars back in ’98 I was reading reports on the models that we were interested in – like recalls and crash test results … so to have it all in one place so easy to find as I’m looking at a car that I’m thinking of purchasing is wonderful. LemonFree.com has made finding a used car, and learning more about the make and model so easy. I’m really impressed.

Another thing that I like about this site is that it has listing for both Canada and the US. As a Canadian I’ve found many sites geared towards American Consumers (even Canadian sites!) but not as many that have items for both countries. I found listing for a 2002 Honda Accord that might be suitable. At least it’s in our general area so we can contact the current owner and possibly go to see the vehicle.

Wish us luck!

I’ve been a poor visitor lately

November 28, 2006 by Tricia

I’m sorry that I haven’t been around to visit the many sites that I usually do visit lately. I haven’t been very active in my own meme- Green Thumb Sunday, or the others that I participate in like Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen or the Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt for a number of reasons.


I haven’t been feeling all that well over the last two or more weeks. Not that I ever feel that well but I’ve felt worse than normal and haven’t been getting out to visit my friends or the meme sites. Please forgive me? I know you guys are coming here, but perhaps some of you have dropped off a bit since I’m not returning the visits. For that I’m sorry. I just haven’t been up to it lately.

Not only have I not been feeling that great but I’ve been working on a few side projects for a friend and for myself. I will have more time to visit others when I get these projects done.

Just wanted you guys to know what’s been going on.

My friends and their recent baby boom

November 28, 2006 by Tricia

I can’t believe how many of my friends have had babies in the last year or who are expecting very soon. Two have had baby boys and one a baby girl. Since we are a group and tend to have the same friends among us I think I’d better start looking for unique baby gifts for the girls and their newborns.

I was looking at a website called the Corner Stork, and I discovered that they have some very nice and creative Baby Gift Baskets. I’m happy that I discovered this website it’s just full of baby boy gifts and baby girl gifts. I think I could spend a few hours on the site browsing around and picking out my favorites.

I think that I like the Cashmere soft elegant gift selection – pastel duck as a choice for a couple who hasn’t had their baby yet. Almost everyone has duck decorations or toys for their babies and because this gift collections comes in a lovely yellow it would be suitable for a boy or girl baby.

They have a really cute gift for baby boys called the Harley Davidson 4 piece boys born to ride gift set. It comes in a soft baby blue and it has a sleeper, bib, doo rag and blanket inside. Hmm a Doo Rag for a baby boy, now that’s unique. LOL

A gift that I’d get for a very special little girl might be the Moses Basket Deluxe (Princess) – It’s just full of things for a newborn baby girl. The gift basket includes a bumper liner, a foam mattress pad, removable hood all of which make a lovely layette. Inside the layette you’ll find a 100% cotton gown, undergarment, hat, booties, quilted changing pad, 3 receiving blankets, a lamb cuddly, bear and moon soft toys and a 8 terry washcloths. Sounds like it’s a basket with just about everything a new parent might need for a newborn.

If you like the sound of the gifts that I’ve described you must visit the Corner Stork baby gift online store. I’m certain that you’ll find some great baby gift baskets for your friends or relatives that are expecting, or who have just had, a baby.

Are you guys still on holiday?

November 28, 2006 by Tricia

I don’t know if I seem to be getting less traffic here because of the recent Thanks Giving holiday or what? My stats are a little lower than normal so I know it’s not my imagination that less people are coming by for a visit.

What’s up folks? Are you all vacationing this week? Last holiday of the year or what?

I’m missing my regulars.
