I too have a lot of search engine visitors with a "0 second" visit time. This only means that the visitor never went to another page on the blog. Sitemeter uses that to determine the total visit time. If it says "0 seconds" the visitor only read that landing page and then left. They could have stayed there for a full minute reading the post, but Sitemeter won't know that. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Johns last blog post..<a href="http://www.modernparent.org/2009/02/weekly-links-post-super-bowl-edition/" rel="nofollow">Weekly Links: Post Super Bowl Edition</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Be careful with Sitemeter’s results.

I do that for every search term I'm targeting- to get a real life idea of what the results are. Kelly Hi Damien,

Not sure how you found out that you were on the 13th page of the Google search. Did you manually click through the next page link twelve times and read the pages until you found your blog? By the way, I googled "frugal blog" and you are now turning up at the 7th place (of the first page)! Your article gave me a good idea for a first Perl script to work on.
