never get it, least it's never jumped out at being searched for. although if your ranking well for the letter T I take my hat off to your SEO skills,

I had thiis some time ago and I think I can explain. Normally in the search query string for Google, you look for the "q" parameter to get the search terms. But sometimes, the "q" parameter only contains the letter "t", and the search terms are instead contained in the "as_q" parameter.

So you have to check for a "as_q" parameter first, before checking the "q" parameter. Don't ask me why.

I don't know what you just said :)

Sounds good though :) Next time someone asks me I am going to use that :)

Ah, I just had a quick look through and I wasn't quite right with that. The problem comes from having a script that just looks for the string of characters "q=" in the query string. This works most of the time as it will usually find the bit that reads e.g. "&q=the+search+terms". But sometimes there's a parameter "aq" before that, which usually reads "aq=t". The search for "q=" will find that and grab the "t" as the search term.

For example:
http://google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBF_enGB254GB255&q=uk+outdoor+sex

What the script really should do is split the query string on the "&" character but most don't bother.

Now I understand. Thanks.

I don't think this was the explanation I was offered before. If it was, I definately didn't grasp it the last time.

"t" has "accounted" for 1.33% of our SE traffic here this month... but then I've never been of fan of the old webair stats script thing.

Infact looking at the SE stats, surprised how many people are still looking for Lea Walker :geek:
