March Madness - A Test Of Google's Skillz

MARCH MADNESS.

MARCH MADNESS.

MARCH MADNESS.

Now, I fully realize that anyone entering a Google search for "MARCH MADNESS" won't reach my site until the one millionth page of results, or thereabouts.

Statistical research has shown that during MARCH MADNESS, all workers at all companies are much less productive. Some of this is due to the fact that people are busy watching basketball games during the day, instead of doing work. Also, some people are just really lazy, and use the aforementioned statistical research as an excuse to do even less work than they'd do normally.

Perhaps a more accurate analysis of this phenomenon would be to say that performing research into the loss of productivity during MARCH MADNESS leads to a loss of productivity during MARCH MADNESS.

It reminds me a bit of a favorite old adage: "If a bear shits in the woods, does it make a sound?" or, "If you see a bear shitting in the woods, do NOT disturb him."

In any case, my point is that this whole MARCH MADNESS loss of productivity crap is self-fulfilling. And I might as well try to take advantage of that. Hence, the idea of this post.
If everyone's busy on the internet right now watching basketball, and Googling MARCH MADNESS-related terms, then I should be able to harvest some of that web traffic, and direct it towards this site.

Of course, whatever MARCH MADNESS terms someone may be searching for, they will invariably be disappointed by the severe lack of college basketball-related content on this website.

So to those of you who have ended up here from a Google search, I apologize. But the good news is, you can now waste time reading this post instead of reading about NCAA basketball's MARCH MADNESS tournament - going on right now on CBS.

Ideally, I'll figure out some unique terms that are related to MARCH MADNESS, and get a few more visitors to my site via their Google searches. That's all I'm really after - more cyber-friends. Real friends are too high maintenance. You actually have to talk to them and stuff.

Using a special algorithm (created by myself in my own mind, just this minute) I will combine popular search terms with MARCH MADNESS-related terms - and see if it leads to an increase in traffic. So here goes nothin':

"MARCH MADNESS HILLARY CLINTON"

"NCAA BASKETBALL - IS IT IN YOU?"

"BEAR STEARNS BRACKET POOL"

"BRITNEY MADNESS PARIS HILTON COLLEGE ATHLETES"

"WINEHOUSE CRACK HOUSE MARCH BASKETBALL"

"BILL RICHARDSON ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA MARCH MADNESS BASKETBALL BRACKETS"

"DUKE COACH K BRAD AND ANGELINA ADOPT COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYERS"

"BIG EAST GEORGETOWN EMPEROR'S VIP CLUB"

"NASCAR FREE IPOD NCAA TOURNAMENT"


Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for the extra visitors.

MARCH MADNESS!!
