I read Dave Gorman's book "Googlewhack" (note the 'h' in there which makes the whack relate to a hit, rather than a Liverpudlian) and it was a good funny read. I wasn't aware there was a show but I'll look for it thanks.

There are rules to follow to be able to get a real Googlewhack which are set out here:

Ive read the book and seen the show when it was televised. It was reallt funny, there isnt much that comes on TV these days that makes you pay attention anymore. Googlewhacking was genius, I remember reading the book on the way into work some mornings and nearly missing my stop. lol.

I have not.

"There are some words that should never be used together: 'self install’ and 'gas oven’ for instance!

On the Internet there are others that are so synonymous, like 'flights' and 'cheap', they are seldom seen apart. 'Hot’ and 'stocks’, 'replica' and 'watches' are among the more common on-line bed fellows.

Search marketeers are usually trying to predict what phrase their target audience is likely to be searching with, not ones that return the least results. However, like backing up a drill to clear the bit of debris, it can sometimes pay to think counter clockwise.

US search guru Gary Stock, in an idle moment, invented a new game that can serve to aid the process, although self amusement was his intention.

It is called “Googlewacking” and has one primary rule: find two words that, when entered into Google, give a single, solitary website back. (read the rest of the rules at www.googlewhack.com).

Classic Goolgewacks include “pimplier batgirls", "sawdusty barmen" and, my favourite, and only just discovered “worldwide fuzzyheadedness”.

They are harder to find than you might think. You can’t just make up rubbish because to qualify as Googlewacks there has to be a page, somewhere out there on the web, which contains the words together, in what Google deems to be “legitimate text”"

I have heard of this it was on tv once.....It is very hard!

But the other night i was just tapping the keys and pressing enter and i entered a N.A.S.A page!
