Call me crazy
By QBlog in
I just had an idea. I'd like to ask YOU to help me make this idea possible. What is this idea? Well, it's crazy and some will call it stupid but in the Age of the Web people do this stuff because a.) it's fun and b.) because it's simple to do.
So, what is my idea? Type the word "Quixtar" into Google and the number one result is Quixtar.com. Makes sense right? The number two result is the AmQuix site, which is not too bad for AmQuix if you think about it. I bet the lawsuit against Scott Larsen actually helped that site's Google Ranking. Anyway, my idea is to work to move the AmQuix site ABOVE Quixtar.com in the Google search results.
Ridiculous you say. Waste of time you cry. Maybe so. But you must admit it would be kind of funny. So, how is this done and is it even possible? Well, it won't be easy but here's one example of how Google's search results were "modified."
The way we do it is to create pages and link to the AmQuix site while slapping lots of references to "Quixtar" on those pages. There are other things involved but this is the first step. When I figure out the second step I'll post it here.
So, who's with me? Let's cause a little Net mischief just for the hell of it.
