An experiment in delusional SEO.
A few weeks ago, I started a silly experiment in SEO (search engine optimization.) If you google for “greatest programmer of all time” (don’t forget the quotes) I have a page that declares me as such, in the number 1 result. If the Google believes, it must be true!
The image results are even better:
You too can be the greatest [whatever you want] of ALL TIME!
1. Get a web site that has some level of page rank. Mine is only 4, so it doesn’t need to be big.
2. Make an HTML file, name it the-greatest-whatever-of-all-time.html
3. Put title, H1 and meta tags like I did in my version.
4. Wait for the google to work it’s magic, and crown you the King.
Of course, if somebody else with a bigger pagerank comes along, or has more friends to link to them, then you will be unseated. Sorry. It’s dog-eat-dog out there.
