Ever run a search engine query for a single letter or digit, e.g. to get a stock quote for Ford? Sometimes, the organic results aren’t what you’d expect:
- A: Altavista (Yahoo), Apple (Google)
- G: Gmail (Google)
- I: iTunes (Google)
- M: Microsoft (Yahoo)
- S: McDonalds (Google), Standard & Poor’s (Yahoo), Gibson’s Anti-Semitic Tirade (MSN)
- 2: WordPress (Yahoo)
- 4: Microsoft (Yahoo)
- 5: Microsoft (Yahoo)
- 6: Internet Explorer 7 (Google)
Sometimes the page reveals the not-so-obvious answer; other times it’s in the page source. Funny how these things work.
