Veddy Interesting: 1000tags.com
1/16/2006
It's suddenly a trend again - special, overly-simple web pages that generate a rather large amount of capital for their clever owners. And the next in line is 1000tags.com.
I'm taking the bait. I'm going to write up something about them here so I can get a free 'shared tag.' Basically, what this means is that I pick a word or short phrase, they add it to the page and a random listing of results are given for that particular word or phrase.
If it gains in popularity, it may be worthwhile. But if not, it may be a complete waste of everybody's time. I am a firm believer in the power of Google to pick up my key phrases, however, so I'm going to give it a shot. After all, thanks to my work on uncovering the cloaked end-times seminars of a particular 7th Day Adventist movement, this journal entry is #2 in google ranking when searching for Cherokee Seventh Day Adventist's Church.
Here's another testament to the power of Google: when I heard about Michael Bay's film The Island, I wondered why the plot elements were so similar to another film, Parts: The Clonus Horror. So I wrote this post. I received an email from the creator of Clonus, and a few months later news sources reported that a lawsuit was filed against Michael Bay. The volatile nature of effective googling is thus laid before you. I don't pretend to have anything to DO with the lawsuit, as I find both movies to be equally disengaging. However, as a fan of MST3K, I do feel a certain amount of loyalty toward the original. :)
If I can have that sort of luck with 1000tags.com, but on a grander scale, it's worth my time and effort for sure. I will gladly post the results here over time.
