Here are some of the recent keyword searches that have brought people to my little corner of the Internet: (This is not my idea, I read a post like this a long time ago on The Pioneer Woman.)
Let me know about latest pakistani shalwar kameez designs
You are asking the WRONG person. First, I'm very forgetful so it's unlikely I'll remember to keep you updated. Second, the only "latest pakistani shalwar kameez designs" I am aware of are when my over-middle-aged middle-class mother-in-law brings me back from Pakistan. Lovely woman, but she's not exactly cutting edge, is all I'm saying...
Well, that's not a very nice thing to say. Who wants to see pictures of ugly outfits, anyway? Desi What Not To Wear, coming to a TV near you!
Kids of desi girl and gora guy
I know, I know - I too just wanted to be able to think about what our babies might look like. If you want to see my son (just a peek of the side of his face) there's a picture at the end of this post.
3 things muslim man do when wife disagree
At my house, the muslim man first tries to talk to the muslim woman. Then they discuss whatever they need to, and a mutual decision is made. You're right - it's as easy as 1, 2, 3! Hope that helps!
Pakistani parents wont let me marry my american girlfriend
Uh oh. Wrong place to be then. That's all we talk about around here!
Warm milk for babies or cold
To know if aunty is is intersted in me
This one was from India, just so that we have a better picture of what he meant by "aunty." All I can say is I hope you're an Uncle!
Name guess - 9 letters arabic starts with t
What? How lonely does someone have to be to try and play word games with their internet browser? I have no idea.
Marrying a gori vs desi girls
I don't think I'm impartial in this debate, perhaps you should look elsewhere? I wonder what kind of information they were looking - which side of the question did they hope to bolster? Hopefully it wasn't someone looking for Google to make an impartial decision for them.
What do pakistani do on thursdays nights
Hmm. Clearly I don't know everything about Pakistani culture, because I didn't know there was something that all Pakistanis do on Thursday nights. Hopefully some of the better informed contributers here will be able to enlighten us all in the comments. What DO Pakistanis do on Thursday nights?
What about you guys - how did you find this site?

LOL, those are pretty strange! I found your blog through SSF and I think its really fun, sometimes it makes me want to restart my own long-dead blog (which died in the Summer of 2006 when I went on a six week trip to Karachi and couldn't get past the blog censors in PK).
I found your blog from someone else's blogroll. Your blog is fun to read...
you're tagged
I found you through a comment you left on Amalah!
This is hilarious! My most frequent hits are for shekshi aunties.
You should have gone to Blogher!
Susan, I didn't know you had a blog. Is the old one still around somewhere? I'd love to read anything you wrote.
Laura, I cannot imagine going to blogger. I READ a totally different set of blogs that the kind I write! I would never fit in, and they'd all think the "gori" meant I liked horror movies or something. But I would love to find out how to work full time just by blogging a la Dooce and Amalah. Thousands just to write about my life? Yes, thank you!
hilarious... i sooo want to find out how to do this to find out how people come to my blog.. tell me sis :D
I use Statcounter. It's free and shows you all sorts of stuff about who comes to your blog. You can check them out at http://www.statcounter.com/ and I think I remember it was pretty easy to install.
Lol, that was funny! I don't remember how I got here in the first place loool
That was such a cute list!!:D Its fun to see you answer that. Stragnely, teh thing that brings most people to my blog is *how do my specs look* and...wait for it, HOT DESI GIRL, ROFLMAO, hahahaha!! After all my tirades against being a typical Desi girl, this is what I have to show for it, LOOLZ.
I found your blog via a comment you left on mine. :D
Hello there,
Thanks for checking out my blog! I have to say reading the name 'TheGoriWife' certainly made me chuckle. I also find the concept of your blog very interesting, and am pleased that you are sharing your experiences with the world.
Pakistan is indeed a very rich and beautiful country. My family hail from a village in Lahore and I found visiting quite a challenge...But I do love the food there. There's nothing like a plate of haleem or channeh off the streets!
Tomorrow I will be making something very special and will post it online asap. Hope you enjoy it!
Regards from Eat, Live and Breathe...
i envy ur luck cuz u have someone with u who actually stood up for u even though u werent from where he was and here u two are mashaAllah havin a good life together and i just made a stupid experience out of something which ithought had potential but he and his parents gave up on me just cuz i m a year older to him and dont share the exact same background as him but am truly paki, sometimes i just hate this place.
Love your blog. Keep up the great work. I couldn't help but chuckle at ur Uncle comment :) .. heh
i searched "pakistani wedding dress"
hahaha...parents wont let me marry LOL!!!
Oh what a giggle I've had! Thanks!!! :D
This will be my last comment on this post, I promise!
I think your selling yourself short on the whole Blogher thing! I think you'd fit in very well... have you ever been to Blogher's website? They support women who write all kinds of blogs, not just mommy blogs. It seems like an amazing experience, and think of all the networking and educating you could do there!
Also, if you'd like thousands for writing about your life, Blogher seems like the place to start... that's where they all are!
I'd love to see you as one of the top bloggers; I think you're wonderful!

I don't remember exactly what I googled but surely it was something along the lines of white american woman / pakistani man / relationship
I don't think I'm EVER going to forget that you shouldn't heat baby milk :D
After being told my nickname on the bhangra team was 'gori' I wanted to see if that specifically meant white girl or white person, so I googled 'gori translation' and you came up
