Title: unexpected googlewhack Post by: zombie no.one on October 27, 2011, 01:06:25 PM how, in the millions/billions of internet pages out there, does the phrase "they were looking at a thing" only occur once? not even as a complete sentence but even just as part of a sentence
http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&source=hp&q=%22they+were+looking+at+a+thing%22&pbx=1&oq=%22they+were+looking+at+a+thing%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=10358l10358l1l10760l1l1l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=dbbd39dca6fa9a9f&biw=1366&bih=616 - well technically it would appear twice, now that I've just typed it...

Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: zombie no.one on October 27, 2011, 01:42:57 PM I'm thinking of writing to google and complaining to be honest.
can't seem to find their address though Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: Jack on October 27, 2011, 03:13:44 PM Must be something screwed up because your post doesn't show up on Google. I'm starting to wonder if that thing actually searches websites any more.
Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: zombie no.one on October 27, 2011, 03:34:27 PM hmm true, it doesn't. perhaps it takes a few hours to get into the system?
Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: Flick James on October 27, 2011, 03:48:11 PM That IS bizarre. Far more obscure combinations of words turn up more results. There has to be something more to this.
For example, I went to google and typed in a quick stream-of-consciousness sentence: i am of things sure not to my conclusion, in quotation marks as you have done, and got the following results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=i+am+of+things+sure+not+to+my+conclusion&btnG=Google+Search&oq=i+am+of+things+sure+not+to+my+conclusion&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=375l14343l0l17187l40l38l0l29l29l0l219l1454l0.6.3l9l0 That makes no sense. Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: Flick James on October 27, 2011, 03:49:20 PM I am curious though, zombie, how you discovered this.

Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: Trevor on October 28, 2011, 01:36:14 AM That reminds me of what happens when you type "Find Chuck Norris" into Google Search and then click on I'm Feeling Lucky. :teddyr:
Try it and see what happens. :buggedout: :buggedout: Title: Re: unexpected googlewhack Post by: zombie no.one on October 28, 2011, 05:29:25 AM ha, very funny :teddyr:
btw "They were looking at a thing" search is now showing this thread in the results as well as the other one... so there probably was only one mention of it |
