Japanese Rain Goggles

As a freelance writer, I pay attention to what people are searching for on the internet, trying to find ideas on something to write about. Last night when I couldn't sleep, I turned on my computer and spotted the search term Japanese Rain Goggles.


I had never heard about Japanese rain goggles before. It sounded interesting. If I was interested enough to type it into the search bar to read up on them, I thought perhaps other people would click on a link bringing them to a Japanese Rain Goggles story to see what it was all about.


Why are People Searching for Japanese Rain Goggles?


You're probably wondering the same thing I was thinking. Why the sudden interest in Japanese rain goggles? Well, it turns out that in a recent episode of Two and a Half Men, the goggles were mentioned. I didn't see the episode, so I wasn't convinced that the writers of the show just made up the term. There had to be something, somewhere about Japanese Rain Goggles.


So I kept searching.


Whacky Inventions and Japanese Rain Goggles


As I searched for Japanese Rain Goggles, I imagined I could remember Charlie Browns dog Snoopy sitting atop his dog house with his scarf flying and his pilots goggles with little miniature windshield wipers clearing the rain from the lenses. Could these be the Japanese Rain Goggles I was looking for?


Obviously not, because I searched and searched and could find no information on rain goggles, let alone Japanese rain goggles.


While I managed to find a pair of military issue sun, wind and rain goggles for sale on ebay, I was never able to find information on Japanese Rain Goggles, except for all the articles saying that they just don't exist.


Now, if this isn't an SEO article, I don't know what is. Let's see what it does for traffic.

Well heck, I thought I would finally find out what they are, I saw the term come up several times through the day yesterday.

Sooo. We write articles based on something fictional that no one has ever heard of with excellent SEO for that phrase. THEN we get someone on TV to say the phrase and viola! we have instant page hits. Sneaky, Patrice... but how did you get the writers of Two and a Half Men to put your phrase in their show? lol ;-P
