See the bottom Sitemeter URL, click on it and go to the referral page. Walla. If you wait for 5 minutes you can easily calculate which are the top search queries." OK, I'm smart but a newbie, what's he talking about? I googled sitemeter but I don't see the link on this page or whatever he is talking about.

But Darren, don't I get some sort of prize or something? (just joking - the traffic that I undoubtably receive is reward enough) The popularity of that particular page reinforces something that I have noticed on my own site - lots of people are looking for examples of 'about me' pages. Coincidentally, I just published an article yesterday on my blog www.HomeBusinessWiz.com called "Website Stats Contain Hidden Money" which describes how I have started a spin-off service writing "about me" or bio templates for various job titles. This all came about because I noticed from looking at my website stats that my "How to Write a Professional Bio" article (a longer version of the article that was published here at Problogger) was by far and away the most popular page on my website. By keeping an eye on my stats I discovered a ready-made business just waiting to be born. As the writer of the article”How to Write Your About Me Page”, I must say I’m flattered.

I was working on a company as an SEO two months ago and they were doing "blog spam". So I was building 4 blogs per day, inventing different profiles for each one. I need a lot of "about me" pages so I could make the blogs very different and real. I don't work there anymore, too dumb strategy and too unethical.
