hah, ya... back in the late 90's i used to be able to get #1 listings for ANY search term i wanted in a matter of about 2 minutes with infoseek...
i had this html page i liked to call "the super bowl source" which was a story about a past super bowl, that contained 14 instances of the term "super bowl". i would find/replace that with anything i wanted "big tits", "lesbian sex" or whatever i wanted a number 1 listing for, then upload the page to my server.
if you recall, you would submit a page and it would tell you "your page has been added for spidering" or something and then you would wait about a minute and refresh, then it would say "your page has been indexed". then i would go to infoseek and type in the search term i replaced "super bowl" with and wallah! #1 ranking, every single time.
then, i would replace that page on my server with whatever i wanted and watch the traffic roll in. all those .28 per click i was getting from xpics publishing back then added up to a mountain of cash!
