google chumming

uh huh



let's raise the bar. We made the cellar #1 for whale penis . And not to take anything away from that accomplishment, I'm thinking that "whale penis" might not be all that common a phrase.

Suppose we try a little bit more common phrase and see what we're really made of?

ideas?

Now I'm thinking this isn't possible, probably setting ambitions a touch too high but why not become number one for Google.

What kind of a person goes to google and searches for google?
Cam • Feb 13, 2004 2:15 pm
Yeah really what kind of a freak even thinks of such a thing. Oh crap that was me.

Excellent. I'm in favor.

I just checked stevedallas (all one word) it a post from sycamore's board shows up at #6! (And before anybody asks, I am not related to the Steve Dallas Photography that also comes up.)

You know, I searched for "Google" earlier today, just to see what I'd get...

Google is an amazing beast. Look at the people that found my board b/c of Noble House and the Motorola T720 phone.

If you look up "undertoad," our very own version comes up at #4.

I thought that was taken for granted.

I Googled for hot_pastrami, and the first three were all me, baby. Hot damn.

I searched for trillian-zz9 and both results were the cellar.:band:

Heh. I'm #6, #13, and #18. Pretty good for such a common phrase.

One has to ask exactly HOW you managed to get your handle attached to your employer's website, particularly when that name does not show up on the homepage itself, which is what google links to.
lumberjim • Mar 2, 2004 2:46 pm
i dunno.

possibly because i have it listed in my cellar profile as my webpage?
wolf • Mar 2, 2004 2:47 pm
I was thinking that as well ...

Yeah, that's how Google ranks pages... by the number of other pages that link to it. The Cellar automatically creates the little WWW button to link to your homepage every time you post, so threads that you participate in are rife with links to that URL. That's the same reason that www.alanbellows.com is the top ranked page for hot_pastrami.

You know, our Cellar is #6 when searching for 'cellar' on Google.

And my homepage is #59 when searching for my first name (aargh!), but #4 when searching for 'Torrere'.

I'm only #6 when I search for "mrnoodle", and the only hit is from some post in the sycamore manifestos.

A guy in Oregon who's trying to score recreational gay sex appears like 5 times.

A page where you can buy an Elmo and Mr. Noodle doll set is in there, but the pics won't load.

Overall, I'm disappointed.
