How to play Googlewhacking

By admin · Monday, July 13th, 2009

It’s a new competitive sport or game for searching on-line testing both your searching skills and your mastery of language.

Google index of webpages is considered the largest of all search engines. So, it’s very frequent to report millions or tens of millions of pages containing your search word.

On the opposite, there’re some combinations of keywords that return only 1 single result on Google.

The web entrepreneur Gary Stock has a mania with finding these combinations; so, he created this game complete of rules and scores, called "Googlewhacking".

This game tries to find those rare combinations of strange key-words that give only 1 single result on Google.

There’re also rules for getting a score:

1 point for a simple googlewhack

(a single result for your query)

1 point if you learn something and 1 BONUS point if the results are more amusing.

But, ironically, when you find a googlewhack and report it on-line, that page will soon widespread by Google and this googlewhack found will lose its uniqueness.

Mr Stock also suggest that this game can be used for false research projects, answering such answereble metaphysical questions as:

- "What is the only way to defeat both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan at once?

OCTOPI JUJITSU

- "What did the Sumerians see in those pictographs?"

CUNEIFORM MEATSPACE

My personal, very modest opinion, is that this is a true

MENTAL MASTURBATION. There’s much more useful and amusing things to do on-line!
