Changes to Google and the Permalink Contest

It used to be that if you search for “go to hell” on Google, Microsoft would be the first item returned. This was because people linked to Microsoft with the phrase “go to hell”. This no longer works anymore, as Google seems to have changed the rules.
Search for “puppy blender” in Google, and Instapundit.com will not be one of the links returned. But, search for “puppy blender” plus any word that normally appears on his mainpage (modem, for instance), and Instapundit.com will be one of the top items returned.
I mention this for no reason.
Anyway, for those vying for a permalink, I originally wanted this to be a simple one question thing, but there are more participants than I expected. Thus there will have to be some elimination rounds before the main event. I’ll try to keep this short and simple, as I don’t want you to devote all your blogging time to this silly venture. I will collect the list of participating blogs tonight, and your first assignment will appear in a post tomorrow. It will be an experiment for the benefit of science.
Muh ha ha ha!
