Last I visited I discovered that nonsense phrases - lengthy ones with a high total - had been searched multiple times.
Test #1 - Can the data be manipulated?
Answer: Yes. I made up a phrase nobody else would think of. Since it had a high value it did immediately make the top searched phrases. And when I click on it, that search gets added into the count. So in theory somebody that really had a burning desire to see something show up on the list it can easily be done. I just question the sanity of why someone would do that to something like, "Caleb brings duckling feed to Azaroth's zoo with ill intention for all 2 C." Or the sanity of someone else who sees it on a list and clicks on it again not realizing they will get the result.
Test #2 - First step, verify that the recent searches update nearly instantaneously as if there are constant interested parties using tho site. Yes. Next step, previous visits I noted that there is nothing related to current events.. That's still true. Lots of hellfire and brimstone biblical stuff. But with what's going on in the world shouldn't such an allegedly active site have some hits on North Korea, Kim Jong Un, or ANYTHING current. Yeah! Both are in the top searches for their value. North Korea is third behind Pearl Harbor and Mare's Nest. I can understand that. But with 25 hits???? And one of those was mine? "AY E G G On Us" has more than one fourth as many hits as North Korea. Yeah, fucking right.
Sure looks like a lot of "people" are just as interested in ducklings as world war three. No wonder we're all doomed.
