New Contest

A regular reader says:

"Using only search words that aren't proper names (or the url), can you get Dave's blog to come up as the first result? The fewer terms the better.

Or, is there a search that will bring up only one hit - Dave's blog?"

The second circumstance is called a Googlewhack. Except that a Googlewhack is also limited to a two word search, and no quotation marks.

I immediately tried "Carnegie Weasel USITT" and got only my site to come up on a Yahoo search. So it is possible, although "Carnegie" and "USITT" are arguably proper names. Google gives me more trouble, so maybe that should be a parameter as well.

So that's the contest...

Using Google, and the shortest number of keywords, with no quotes or proper names (or urls), who can get the highest ranked result for this blog (any entry). Ties will be broken by the highest ranking hit first, least number of keywords second and the least total number of hits last.

Same prize as last time, your own entry with a lovely photo (which you will need to supply), and dinner at the Waterfront - eventually.

Have fun.
