no i don't belive it at all. i mean come on. a bunch of pegions pecking at 3 random keys. and that thier way of resolving the poop issue is to "change" it into the googles white background.

good peice of writting done, someone really put a lot of thought into writing the article. very creative.

They do not want you to know the real method.

Wood pecker bank. Woodpecker can hit of 1200 ppm (pecks per minute)

I I thought all along it was something to do with web hits and algorithms and inter-linkages amongst web pages and referrals and all that.

Looks like even the best of us get fooled.

I guess that means my web page must be "for the birds" because the pigeons seem to like me.

A search for the word outpatient currently list me as #4. Some days it's #3. Not too long ago Google listed me as #1,390,000+ (or somewhere so far down the list it would never show up).

Must have been all the bird seed I sent Google. And I just know it's my affiliation with Simon that's keeping me from that coveted #1 spot.

i always ignore mainstream as you all know
