I’m not sure how the topic came up at work, but we were discussing the most common routes that folks take to www.CookiesbyDave.com. Sure there’s Facebook and to a lesser degree Twitter, but how do folks stumble across my site? Well, thankfully I have a limited amount Google data.
Usually, folks reach my site, when they Google somewhat exotic cookie recipes. There’s my recipe for Flaky Flix. There’s also Pizzelles and Krumkake. Oh and then there’s the term, “Dad Sexy.” Now, I would not recommend Googling the term “Dad Sexy,” but once I named a post “Dad Sexy” and for a while it ranked high on the Google ranking for the term (once again, I stress that I would not Google the term “Dad Sexy” yourself, because this is after all a family show). I could only imagine how sad folks were to Google that term and find themselves landing on my site.
Since I had brought up the post, I figured I should refresh my memory. Much to my delight, my “Dad Sexy” post was a pretty good one, but I had forgotten the content. It was the end of 2016 and I made a New Year’s Resolution. A resolution to become “Dad Sexy.”
The good news was that my resolution was a realistic goal. To become “Dad Sexy,” I would need to attain “the kind of look (that) when springing from the bed in underwear and a single sock, people (would) say, ‘Oh, he looks okay, maybe even kind of cute. Plus, he is dependable and a good family man. Yes, he is all sorts of ‘Dad Sexy.””
Reading the post, I smiled. You see, by working out like a fiend and limiting my gobble gobble tendencies, fifteen months later I have attained “Dad Sexy.” Yes, I actually had a successful New Year’s Resolution and did not even realize it!
Proof? Well, the proof is on my back. You see, I actually mowed the lawn shirtless on Sunday. Yes, me shirtless in the front lawn and no one even called the cops. Sunshine on my back and the start of a Summer tan. If your Google doesn’t say that a fit dad mowing a lawn shirtless isn’t “Dad Sexy,” you might as well just kiss the internet goodbye.
