Super Happy Lucky Fun Permalink Contest Number One (Plus Very Scientific Experiment Everyone Can Help Out In)
I didn't want to make this contest for a permalink a long drawn out affair, but more people opted in than I expected. Thus I am going to draw it out a bit so that each blog has a chance in the spotlight. I will randomly divide the blogs into groups, one group competing at a time. Each blogger will have an opportunity to describe his or her blog, and then answer a short answer question. Readers will vote on the best answer. The winner from each round will then compete in one final round, the winner of that getting the coveted permalink of no monetary value. Here are the blogs I have listed as competing: The Voodoo Lounge If I left anyone out, please notify me. But, before the competition, everyone must help me in a scientific experiment first. Before I get to that though, I want to clear something up. I acted jokingly mad at Instapundit for not linking to me on my blogiversary, and then I had people e-mail him hate mail as a joke. He then used that as another opportunity to not link to me, and also insulting called my readers "spambots". That would seem to make me angry, but it is all in good fun (who ratted me out, though?). I actually respect Glenn Reynolds very much, and am proud to have a permalink on his page. He was an inspiration for me making my own blog. That said, onto scientific experiment! Scientific Experiment! (very scientifical) Google puts a lot of weight on what words are used in a hyperlink to link to someone. People exploited this to make Microsoft the number of item returned when searching for "go to hell" by many people linking to Microsoft with the words "go to hell". This doesn't work anymore, as Google seems to have changed the rules. As I pointed out yesterday, while Google does take text in the hyperlink into account, it will not return an item in the search query unless one of the terms being searched for actually appears on the page and not just links to that page. Thus comes my theory: Frank's Very Scientific Google Search Theory: If many people link to a page with one word that appears on that page and one word that doesn't, that page will become the first item returned by Google for the phrase made of the two words. Now we must experiment to prove this. First, I'll need a page to link to. Let's randomly pick one from my blogroll... ah, Instapundit. We'll use that page. Now let's find a word that is always on his mainpage... "Liberal". That is always on there since he links to the Armed Liberal. Now I'll use my random word generator to pick a random word that is not normally on his main page... "Assclown". Hmm, that's an interesting word. It will work perfectly for this experiment. Now all we need is lots of webpages to link to http://www.instapundit.com with the phrase "Liberal Assclown" (e.g. Liberal Assclown). And the links must stay up for a week or so for Google to read in all the new data. If enough people do it, next time we search for "Liberal Assclown", Instapundit.com will be returned. So, spambots, here are your orders. Put a link to Instapundit on your mainpage (not just in a post), the hyperlink text being "Liberal Assclown" (I have mine up right under Rachel Lucas on my blogroll). You don not have to remove your normal link to Instapundit if you have one. You have 24 hours to do this, or you are out of the competition (unless you have a note from your doctor or tech support saying that you weren't able to put up a link). Everyone else with a blog or other webpage is invited to help out in this scientific experiment of extreme scientificness. Make sure your webpage is submitted to Google for scanning. The more people that join in, the more scientifical this venture will be. Isn't science fun! 43 Responses To "Super Happy Lucky Fun Permalink Contest Number One (Plus Very Scientific Experiment Everyone Can Help Out In)"
As you command, Oh Great One, so shall it be done. #1 - Posted by: LittleA on July 15, 2003 12:58 PMThe link is up. Google has been told. I feel so cheap. #2 - Posted by: Mike on July 15, 2003 02:18 PMHowever, Google's indexing of my blog is somewhere between spotty and insane, so I don't know how well your Scientifical Experiment will work. #4 - Posted by: Pixy Misa on July 15, 2003 02:24 PMIf it's not too late, could I join the contest? Curiosity, http://curi.blogspot.com/ #5 - Posted by: Elliot Temple on July 15, 2003 02:24 PMI was previewing a comment when your site--um, took a break--and now I don't remember what I wrote. Sigh.
Presidential Candidate Xanadu supports this measure fully : http://www.blog.garageofxanadu.com #8 - Posted by: J. Fielek on July 15, 2003 02:36 PMI will do as commanded... however, I have qualms about the exact language used. Although I don't have enough self-respect to not put up the link, I'm going to make it hidden. You can find it on the far right hand side of the red bar at the top of the screen. It will underline when you are over it, or you can click-drag a selection. Now how do I submit it to google? #10 - Posted by: Nephi on July 15, 2003 03:07 PMI'm not in your contest, but I'll do anything in the name of science. #11 - Posted by: Spoons on July 15, 2003 03:12 PMDone. It's right under my "Not linked by Glenn" button under the blogroll. #13 - Posted by: serenity on July 15, 2003 04:03 PMI would have preferred "maddening, sieve-like fucktard", but "liberal assclown" works well enough in a pinch. #14 - Posted by: Norbizness on July 15, 2003 04:03 PMI didn't make the list? Is this, like, limited to people with blogs? Do you really think that's fair? #15 - Posted by: Ken Summers on July 15, 2003 04:04 PMRight here is how you add: If you already can find your site with google, you probably don't need to do it (at least new posts of mine usually seem to be searchable in just a couple days). Spoons, Norbizness, No, I've got it. I think. Damned DeVry Institute education! Brain so feeble! #18 - Posted by: Norbizness on July 15, 2003 04:12 PMGive DeVry a break! I learned nearly everything I know about Web design from one of its Colorado schools.:) Name of blog: “Over the Edge” Web address: www.ColoradoPsycho.com/Over_the_Edge.htm Rationale for making this distinction: do not taunt Super Happy Lucky Fun Permalink Contest Number One. #20 - Posted by: rt on July 15, 2003 06:05 PMI put it in my blogroll, but i'll also add it in a template to be sure, as well as a post - i post on my blog so rarely right now that it'll be up for at least two weeks on the front page. #21 - Posted by: Sam on July 15, 2003 06:33 PMWe French have a word for this sort of self-serving prostitution; we call it PRESTIGE. Call us strumpets but we will do anything for fifteen minutes of fame. -Guy “not a slave to fashion” Parrot okay, so I added to google. Then I had to pick a new template so I could have "Links", but I don't see any way to add a link! And my "help" button doesn't seem to work! HELP!!! #24 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on July 15, 2003 07:07 PMI added it to my template, which is the only way I know to add it to my blogroll. Hope my mom doesn't drop by, though. Also submitted to Google, but Google came back with a note that said just 'cuz I submitted, didn't mean they were gonna publish. . . kinda like Frank J. Cheers, #25 - Posted by: Marie on July 15, 2003 08:06 PMAs you commanded. Under the category "Sold my soul to Frank" can be found the link. :-) #26 - Posted by: Jennifer on July 15, 2003 08:29 PMCool! I must be in Google cuz I just searched for "penumbera cyberspace poltergeist" and hit "I'm feeling lucky" and it took me straight to my archives! #27 - Posted by: Susie on July 15, 2003 09:10 PMTuning Spork--I was going to put this in your comments, but you don't have any! I also couldn't find an email addy for you, so, from a fellow non-geek in non-geekese: Underneath that is a link to Google.(what are the odds of that?) I'm in for his theory. http://www.angelfire.com/ex/kop316 #29 - Posted by: Chris on July 15, 2003 11:19 PMCouldn't access my site all day, but I finally managed to add the Liberal Assclown link tonight. #30 - Posted by: Graham Lester on July 15, 2003 11:33 PMSusie, you are too cool for words!! ThankYouThankYouThankYou!! And I don't know how to add comments without forking over some cash. Is there another way? *sigh* I demand FREE expression! argh! #31 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on July 15, 2003 11:34 PMOK, Frank, I'm game! --Denita TwoDragons i didnt say i hated him, let alone 12 times. you should be proud. #33 - Posted by: Joey D on July 16, 2003 12:24 AMJust to verify, this will still be a "blind" competition, correct? The voters won't know who each answer is from, and if we reveal our answer we are disqualified? #34 - Posted by: Jennifer on July 16, 2003 01:46 AMLiberal Assclown isn't going to show up for a bit =( They're will be a few questions that aren't, btu those are to describe your blog. The question that people will be voting on will be blind. #36 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 16, 2003 07:11 AMI must have missed the contest, but hey, I'm all for a good Google Bomb. My link's up. #37 - Posted by: The Conservative Geek on July 16, 2003 09:37 AMYou are evil! EVIL! I love it. I'm not in the contest, but out of love for Your Evilness I've added a link to the Insta... er Liberal Assclown. #38 - Posted by: Jane Grae on July 16, 2003 12:35 PMI'm in on the experiment (not the contest, I'll try out for round 2)...Hey, Frank, how long do you think it'll take Glenn to do the same linking Monkey Butt to IMAO??? Oh, unless he doesn't read your site. #39 - Posted by: Blackfive on July 16, 2003 06:03 PMYou can also visit some information about... Thanks!!! #41 - Posted by: on December 1, 2004 01:40 AMI'm taking part in a google bombing contest right now for the search terms flag burning and community watch. Fun stuff! #42 - Posted by: flag burning on December 15, 2004 05:33 AMYoull should use Alabama Satallite Dishtv Deal. Post a comment
