Wink Google Hard at Work


For a few days I have been wondering about the mystery of why a forum I created that has never been advertised is getting way more hits than I expected... which was zero.

In particular one thread seemed to attract a lot more attention than the others. Roughly 5-6 times more views than any other. Then I remembered part of what I posted in that thread.

In the thread I described a medical procedure I had undergone in the past but I had worded it in a colourful way when I posted the thread. The procedure was a rectal exam that I described as having a fist rammed up my !@# (the colourful wording was meant to impart the severe response I had to the event).

So now my forum is an underground sensation with Internet fisting enthusiasts.

Thanks Google Z/Z

P.S.: I am very apologetic to the mods if this content is too unrelated to Linux but if I didn't share this experience with the world ... Z/Z

Amazing what terms people search for at times. BTW, you probably could have chucked this onto your other google thread, its a good example of how the right (or wrong, LOL) search term can get you hits that a more generic term would never get you.

BTW, I've go to say that for some reason this reminded e a ong I heard years ago. Nine Inch Richards- Ain't Gloves A Suprise. I'd put a link in but AFAIK there isnt a copy of "Ain't Gloves A Suprise" up on the net. (it would be on a P2P network somewhere)

There is some versions of "Nine Inch Richards- Closer To Hogs" up. Which is a twisted cover of Nine Inch Nails- Closer", and gives you an idea of the sense of humour that band (guy really IIRC) has.

WARNING! Corse language and bestiality themes. Dont blame me if you're offended......

@cascade: kind of thing I'd expect from Weird Al but much edgier. Can't remember the name of the original song that is being parodied though. Very clever humour though.

@sundial: I couldn't help myself Thanks for posting... I didn't notice the OS icon you are using before... never heard of macos so Imma look it up.


If there is a "Most likely to get banned in 2012" category in some forum betting pool I strong suggest you place your money on me. Z/Z

Edit: I light of the brain fart I made on the forum in regards the comment I made to sundial about the Mac OS ( I actually thought there was a mysterious hidden OS called "macos" ) I am forced to state that I have only ever seen a Mac in person once in my entire life. It is safe to say the Mac OS is not even on my radar. Z/Z

Check the default setting of google search engine.
On my PC, they were:
Google -> options -> Search settings -> Moderate Filtering
Google -> Options -> Web History -> Enabled
The second one means:
Quote:
Your search and ad results may be customized using search activity from this computer.
So it means to me, that by doing searches using google, I am no longer just getting the results. I am now getting guided, or (and you gotta love this word) "assisted" results.
I understand this as google telling me:
Normal search results are (another expression you gotta love) "not in our interest".

Update:
"Google Tracks Women on Planned Parenthood Website"
