Skipping to 5th Page: Savvy Web Searcher or Not

Oct 6, 2005 - 9:09 am 1 — by

Rarely do we talk about searching as an end user. A DigitalPoint thread started about two days ago named My Girlfriend's Guide To Good Results on Google shows just that. In fact, he claims to post his girlfriend's method of using a search engine. Guess what, she bypasses the first 4 search result pages and looks at the fifth page.

1. Type in Search 2. Click Search Button 3. Click on page 5

I assume this is a hack at SEOs and wanting their search engine rankings to be higher then their competitors. It may be a smart way of saying, Google is filled with spam and his girlfriend is smart enough to skip to page five to bypass the spam. Anyway, this is a unique method of saying this and I thought you may enjoy it.
