As a bit of good old fashioned randomness, I wanted to share with you the most popular topics our visitors search for that lead them to CultureFeast through search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, Ask). This in no way indicates which topics we cover the most often, but rather just which topics/pages of ours are popular and rank well.
Papaya Clothing Stores
This topic has been the #1 driver of traffic in the history of CultureFeast. I saw an opportunity last year when Papaya's website had been "under construction" for six months. No one could find the nearest store without a functioning website, so we had Papaya shoppers from around the country post comments about the stores they knew of. The Papaya site is now live, yet we still get a LOT of traffic from Papaya fans.
97.1FM The Eagle Returns
The rock station everyone knows in DFW is back on the air after several years hiatus. Why they left the FM I do not know, but there are plenty of people searching for more info on the returning rock station. There's still a good-sized rock fan base here to necessitate a radio station. I'm still surprised they disappeared in the first place. Welcome back, Eagle.
Taylor Glover Leaves Kidd Kraddick in the Morning
Who would have thought that Taylor was this popular? Well… me, for one. The third most popularly searched topic that led visitors to CultureFeast was the departure of Kidd Kraddick's spunky valley girl. The show has not recovered from her absence. It lacks the energy and spunk she brought to the show each day.
The Celebrity Apprentice
Apparently, people are so bored with the Writer's Strike that they find Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice to be worth investigating. I have nothing more to say about this show. I lost interest the moment I finished posting this article.
Dolores O'Riordan
The former lead singer of The Cranberries is still big news, and apparently has yet to shed the trappings of Cranberries fame. Despite her quality debut solo album, Dolores is still known and appreciated most as the lead singer of The Cranberries. I've always been a huge fan of her voice. If you haven't heard her sing Ave Maria, go to iTunes and check it out. Every song involving her is worth hearing.
And because I can, here are some topical runner ups worth mentioning:
Penelope Trunk Interview and also mentioned here and here.
Little Ball of Hate (Jennifer Engle)
Kidd Kraddick mentioned several times, including here and here.
Dale Hansen
Randy Galloway

***UPDATE***
As of Friday evening, the Papaya website is apparently down again. I don’t consider this to be a false site launch because I’m not seeing the placeholder that was there before. The server simply cannot be found, which may mean that the company’s server was overloaded with traffic upon opening. All types of technical problems are possible. I wouldn’t worry about it. Either they launched the site and changed their minds (which makes no sense) or they’re servers can’t handle the traffic and they’ll need to upgrade.
Check back here and I’ll update this page as I hear news.
*** UPDATE 2***
I just checked the Papaya site (July 31, 2007 11am CST) and it’s back up and running. Go check it out.
UPDATE: The Papaya Clothing Website is Now Live!!!

I want to hear from the people. For all of you who have been visiting my website, hoping to find more information about Papaya Clothing stores in your area, let me first apologize. I don’t know much more than that they have a Papaya Clothing Store in Grapevine Mills Mall and apparently at Stonebriar in Frisco. But let’s get to the point.
I wrote a blog about Papaya Clothing stores and their affordable prices at the beginning of November 2006. That was five months ago. I just checked, and their website is still “under construction.” No sign of progress and no contact information is provided on the URL. That’s not going to cut it.
I literally receive as many as 300 visits to CultureFeast.com a day from Google and Yahoo searches for “Papaya Clothing Store” or “Papaya Clothing store locations” or some variation. My one little blog post about the cheap and stylish clothes at Papaya five months ago drives up to 11,000 visitors in a month to my site. That means that someone needs to get on the ball and finish their site.
So here’s the deal. We all know that I own WebSwank, a Dallas social media and search engine marketing company. I’m going to approach Papaya Clothing and show them my site visitor stats and see if WebSwank can’t help them launch their website. Papaya is just too hugely popular to not launch and optimize the website as soon as possible.
That’s where you the reader come in. I want to hear from you. If you are looking for information on Papaya clothing online and you come across this blog post, I want you to leave a comment here, telling me what kind of information you want from them. Do you want to shop and buy online? Do you want to know where the nearest store is located? Do you want to know if they’re hiring? Do you want to know if they offer franchising options? Or do you just want to know what everybody is talking about?
Post a comment here. Your voice will count in getting this website launched.
Thanks,
Daniel Dessinger
