The Best of Poly (According to Google c. 2012-01-01)

[Aeson]

According to SEMRush, something magical happened on Jan, 1... Google actually decided Poly had something to offer the world. We showed up #9 (first page!) for a term that had nothing to do with Civilization, people actually search for, and that advertisers actually bid on.

The thread that got us there:

Save Poly, post an ugly picture! Then insult someone by calling them the ugliest person in the world.

Doesn't get as much traffic or interested advertisers as you'd think it would...

[loinburger]

You underestimate the popularity of pizza

I bet we're pretty high up the list for Demonoid invite codes too.

Canadians have a thing for Alpha Centauri, British people like Civ1, Russians seem to come here looking for "nude Laura Croft", Germans actually come here looking for Apolyton, while the French are obsessed with "tasvideo" what ever that is.

[Aeson]

We're closing in there. In the 20's. (Losing ground on ugly people though...)

[Dinner]

Oh, and Australians come here mistakenly thinking we have something to do with "yahoo nfl".

[Berzerker]

yay, we got a football (?) pick em

O.K. You are the ugliest person in the world.

Always happy to help.

It helps more if you link to the page in question while doing so, like this:

You are the ugliest person in the world! It also helps if you sometimes vary the text in the link so that Google won't think we're gaming the system. So even something like: You're so freakin' ugly is going to be helpful and perhaps even necessary from time to time.

Thanks for the feedback, you give excellent advice.
