While working on an SEO posting for my other blog it became necessary to find a search expression that would return only a few results. I wanted to find a search phrase for which there would only be a few pages that matched.
Silly me, for some reason I figured “tattooing pigs” would yield few, if any, results. Did you know that tattooing pigs is a huge endeavor on this planet. Artists all over the world are using our swine buddies as canvases for their art. Go to google, type in “tattooing pigs” and press the search button. You will find somewhere in the neighborhood of 723,000 pages on the topic of tattooing pigs. That’s almost a million pages on the topic. I would have lost that bet. Tattooed Poultry is even worse — 3,730,000 results.
A “left-handed monkey wrench” has only 12,000 search results. Turns out that this is an unusually low number.
When I started this hunt for search terms with low results I had no idea how truly weird the situation had become. Alas, I need to find a nice corner and go catatonic for a while.
At least good ol’ “morphotony” still only had 64 results.
