Nice to see from this month’s logs that Paste Magazine is now one of the top 3 search results for headache information. Already this month someone has stopped by to read Rob’s story while searching for information about migraines. I do wonder if it helped, but it raises some interesting questions.

All the other search results are clearly more suitable if you want to find out how to cure that headache, so was this person actually looking for stories of pain rather than advice on cures, or were they just clicking indiscriminately because Google told them to?

And if you have got a headache, surely a trip down the shops for some Nurofen might be a more appropriate course of action, rather than turning to Google, however fantastic it might be. Hmm. It does rather remind me of the old Onion story: “Local Man Uses Internet for Everything”. Sadly that is not archived on their website; the closest related link I could find was this: “Internet Opens Up Whole New World Of Illness For Local Hypochondriac“. Then again, maybe that is appropriate.
