Google-whacking, as you probably know, is the game of trying to find a two-word combination that returns *exactly* one hit in Google. If you didn't know that, read the technical stuff at the end of this post.<P>Now, this here thread is for self-indulgent google-whacking - finding a google-whack that returns a page on *your site* as the sole hit.<P>If you don't have a site, your site is <a href=http://www.soaprope.com>Soap on a Rope</a>.<P>Here's one for me: <a href=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lethiferous+hooch><I>lethiferous hooch</I></a>
Score: 466,860,000.<P><font size=0>
1. Words must be recognized by dictionary.com - if the results include a blue bar with each word underlined, just above the pages it found, then it's fine.<P>2. The one page returned cannot be a page that's a list of words. Moot point here.<P>3. You can't enclose the two words in quotes - that makes it search for the literal phrase, and it's cheating.<P>4. Score is the results of each word found separately, multiplied together. For instance, <I>lethiferous</I> serves up 7,470, <I>hooch</I> 62,000, ergo <I>lethiferous hooch</I> is worth 466,860,000.<P>------------------
