GOOGLEWHACKS

im confused

can you give an example

do not use google please. use blackle.com. it is exactly the same as google but with a black screen to reduce energy. this makes the world last longer.

conversationstoper

try that in google it brings up no results

If you post them the no longer are googlewacks as they will appear twice

indeed this is true...

that is soooooo cool, especially cos i always vote greens and like the colour black

blackle is quite cool,thanks for that yo.

unless like me you have an LCD screen in which casew the light is always on black or not...and of course white light makingness pales in comparison with the amount of electricity required to make charge the deflectors and accelerator is a notmal monitor.

unfortunately this blackle thing for some reason doesn't get you the same results as google...

aww i while back i knew about 5, i've forgotten them all now

really?maybe it's still in like trial mode,maybe it caters for other searches

it also doesnt tell u how many hits ot found but hey, the sentiment is nice.

so what is a google whck? all i found was David gormeman (who is funny btw)

i hink it's just a random google search

Exact criteria for a googlewhack are as follows:
- You must use two words that exist in the english language (generally the agreed test is whether they appear on dictionary.com)
- You can't use quotes
- When searched for on google, these two words must give one (and only one) result.
- This result has to be a real page (e.g. it can't be a wordlist page, or random filler text on a site that's under construction).

A couple of examples that appeared in Dave Gorman's googlewhack standup show and book (so aren't googlewhacks any more - lots of people have wrote about it since*)

coelacanth sharpener
unconstructive superegos
rarebit nutters
etc...

And on the subject of blackle, as mentioned, if you're using an LCD monitor it makes no difference, and if you're using a CRT and the impact of it bothers you, you'll have a far bigger impact by switching to an LCD... And it probably wont cost you that much, when you factor in the electricity savings you'll make.

*So I'm not stopping them from being googlewhacks by posting here.

i think we shoudl start a thread for all our eco concerns and advice

eureka, ive solved the "posting stops googlewhacks prob"
stick asterix's in the words
e.g. Petticoat Glaswegian
would be p*E*T*T*I*C*O*A*T**G*L*A*S*W*E*G*I*A*N

Huzzah!!!
