More Googlewhacking

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

More Google fun. I know that Cam thinks that Googlewhacking is nothing more than surfing Google with the Mature Content Filter set to “off”, but it’s still one of my favorite tech toys. Besides, we all know that Cam is an effete snob, anyway. (Just joking Cam! Honest! Really! Cross my heart!)

I’m getting some interesting Google search patterns in my little Google trapper. I can’t tell if someone is sending me GIM or if there are a lot of interesting people in the world.

One is based on a misspelling of mine — Saudi Arabia, rather than Saudi Arabia (since corrected). The search is insurance company in saudi arabia. I’m third in Google for this one. Try this one out and look very very carefully at the title for my link in the result set. Now, if you were looking for an insurance company in Saudi Arabia, would you click my link?

My favorite is bird spike canada. Now, doesn’t that just sound like a drink?

“What will you have?”

“Yeah, I’ll have a Bird Spike Canada.”

“Do you want that with a twist?”

What would you put into a drink called the Bird Spike Canada?
