Everyday small businesses, large businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and people in general dedicate themselves, a staffer, small teams or even whole departments to the cause of improving their websites so that the right people can find their site, service or product. In my world we call this SEO (search engine optimization) basically manipulating your site to be the most relevant or ideally top 10 ranked item for particular searches from people looking for your product or service or whatever you may want them to find. The same holds true for millions of dollars a day in paid ’supposedly’ relevant advertising on search engines with pay per click adverting. And i have no clue how much money Google spends to fine tune their search to be the most relevant useful search engine on the planet but i’m sure it’s way up there. But despite all that you can always count on the stupidity of man to circumvent the best laid plans.
Behold the power of poor writing skills.
And because google’s index constantly changes as more relevant items appear on the internet. I’ve saved it for posterity.
(i only found this out because someone from new zealand was searching for ” found out pasta ” and that was logged as one of my inbound hits .. so no i don’t try to google my own blog all day long)

I contributed to this post by googling, “found out pasta.” I then clicked on the link at the top of the page. That would be Liju’s link!

To prove how Heisenbergian the internet is, this post, rather than the post named above, is the top hit on Google for “found out pasta”.
