      Hi there everybody,

      It's the end of a long day and i have a few minutes to spare. So what better way than to spend those minutes on the seomoz forum.

      As you might have already noticed this isn't a serious technical question, but more of a fun google related one.

      As the title suggests..... Do googlwhacks still exist ?

      For the people not familiar with a Googlewhack, its a 2 word search query that comes back with a signle hit in the SERPS.

      Here are some examples of what used to be googlewhacks (which they aren't any more pretty much the moment someone writes about it and Google indexes it and gives up 2 results):

      bamboozle guzzler

      unmerciless politician

      inculcating skullduggery

      antiestablishmentarianism psycho

      Who else remembers the good ol' Googlwhack days?

      P.S. SeoMoz mods, I have no clue in what category to place this topic :). It's just a fun question, thats  all.

        Hah! That's hysterical. I have never heard this term....but I'll have you know I just wasted a good 20 minutes trying to come up with a two-word combination that would produce a single hit. No luck  🙂 [and that wasn't one of the terms I tried]

            Haha,

            Good ol googlewhacking, it can be a lot of fun, but ofcourse you want to find one in the end ;).

            I've added a little clip of comedian Dave Gorman.

            He recorded (quite a few years ago) a live stand up after writing a book of his googlewhack adventures.

            His goal was to find 10 people who had found a googlewhack. I wouldn't know where you'd be able to find the full version of it. It definitely worth the watch :).

            More information about his googlewhack adventure on his site http://www.davegorman.com/projects_googlewhack_adventure.html

            Have fun and goodluck Googlewhacking and if anybody finds one be sure to misspell it when posting it anywhere :).  Like bamboozel guzzler --> bam--b00zle guz---zl3r

            Let's see who can find the shortest long tail Googlewhack :D.
