SEO Crawla

My idea of making search engine data on our movement total nonsense and unsellable to advertising agencies?

Take any 10 words from the 3rd paragraph of a story that appears on page 5 of any newspaper - then paste that info into the search engine. Do a search and flick onto the 16th top entry and just leave it there.



Hopefully the search engines that follow our movements will think that we are particularly interested in a topic and sell that piece of information on to advertisers not thinking it is pure rubbish. Therefore making a mockery of the search engines data gathering and ultimately unproductive.



Have you any ideas?

1. This is not a viable strategy and would not work unless you had over a million people a day doing it. The search engines look at large trends over time.
2. All you have to do is use an 'anonymous proxy' ...for example, http://www.scroogle.org (which has the added advantage of stripping out all the 'paid for' adverts that normally appear at the top of the 'hit list')
