Funny website, its all about Death and Battles.

 

[PuShAkOv]

How did they do that?

Its a whitehouse.GOV domain and the words never appear on the site. You think its someone from the inside of Google?

~P.u.S.h.

 

[ResidentSlacker]

Funny

 

[PuShAkOv]

haha

I'm also wondering how they did that when the words don't apear on the page...

 

[Dave8812]

Interesting......

 

[skandalous]

It's just the people who work at google. They're always doing something funny.

Push, the I'm feeling lucky button takes you to the site that is most clicked on by people using a normal search. IE if you type in online auction and do a search, the majority of people click ebay.com so google will make ebay.com the "I'm feeling lucky" for anything containing online+auction

wow....must be an inside job?

Dude,..

I am not stupid.

It takes you to the first search result (ranked the highest by Google's system). They update it about every four weeks and base it on more than 100 factors. It doesn't have to be "most clicked" since search engine listing is not ordered by the number of hits the page received. However, top sites usually get top hits.

Google works by rating sites according to how many other sites link to the site in question. For instance, my site www.knollcrest.com is just a place holder and has only one link, and that's to my webmail. But if you do a Google search on Knollcrest, my site comes up number 5, even though it's essentially a blank site. One reason is because I use a picture hosted on my webserver as a sig on this forum. That pic is now a link from this site back to mine, even though it's not an active hyperlink. Do that enough times, and your site will rise in Google's rating. And the more links from prominent sites to yours, the higher you go also.

Exactly you type in "Miserable Failure" and it goes to the whitehouse's domain and to Bush's bio. even though the words never even appear on the site!

Oh, lol, that IS wierd

 

[xLibelle]

we start at bush and end up on google...
hell, enough about bush, isnt google great. go check out their other things... like this http://labs.google.com/sets to see what i mean, type in a few car companies like ford, bmw, gm, etc. see what you get.

but yeah, miserable failure, believeable

Google will also act as a dictionary; type "define Someword" without the quotes and you'll get a basic definition and links to several alternate definitions. Google also does math. Type 2*4+(3/4)= and you'll get a result.

 

[epj3]

or type in your phone number (ie xxx-xxx-xxxx) and it does a reverse phone lookup.

 

[xLibelle]

they had a voice lookup, you dial the google number and speak the words of the search and then click the link provided and it would bring you to your search... ive never seen it working tho
