Scoreboard:

Dekrazee - 1

Not sure if this will work. It's based on a great google game but usually you need to do it with a group of friends with no cheating... but that's not possible here.

Here's a modified version:

First person chooses a word, say "Fresh". This recieves a score on google (number of hits) of 299,000,000

The next person adds a word to this "fresh apples" with a score of 184,000

And so on. The original aim is to add words for the next person so they fail with a zero score, but you're not allowed to check. In this version the next person adds the word, so the aim is to survive as long as possible. To be the last person who can add to the sentance. We'll see if it works.

Remember to enter the sentance with quotations around it to make it a full sentance.

First word:

"Tangler"  - 171,000

oooh! This is interesting!

Tangler dekrazee1 - 9, 240

(oops - cut that down greatly)

You've gotta put them in quotes

"tangler dekrazee1" only gets 2 results

It's a good move though and you win the first game.

D'oh!

That's even worse!

Oh, YAAAY!

I start the next one?

sure

"Google" - 2,140,000,000

"google employees" - 125,000

"google employees telstra" - 766,000
 

Oops... that's more than you had. Is that ok?

remember, you gotta put the quotes around it... "google employees telstra" has no results

I did!

try it again

This is what I get on the left - Results 1 - 10 of about 766,000 for "google employees telstra". (0.07 seconds)

 No results found for "google employees telstra".


Results for google employees telstra (without quotes):

that's what I get

Yeah, I get that too.... but there was a number, so I thought that's all that counted.

No worries. I lose. You start!

oh, no that's when google tries to be helpful by modifying your search to create results.

ok, here goes:

"women" - 611,000,000

Ahhhh I see...

"women red" - 215,000

"women red hair" - 13,900

"women red hair long" - 1

niiice.

So, are we allowed to 'score' a larger number than the previous person? Technically, this still keeps you 'alive' ??

Could you please clarify for me?

If you just add a word then it's fine. Sometimes Google thinks that you might be looking for something else that is similiar when you add more words, so then it might give you more results. This will keep you alive.

Because it's impossible to not lose after Dek's "phrase", here is a new one:

Madness

60,500,000 for "madness"

699,000 for "reefer madness"

You should not search on the term you add - and it should be added after the original term.

So, 699'000 for "reefer madness". I've got 645'000, but that ignores non-swedish and non-enligh sites.

Your query: "reefer madness mania"

i guess i don't get the rules. i thought you do search your own term.

anyway-"reefer madness mania"-5 results

now, do i have to add to the beginning or end of the phrase? or can i add anywhere?

like "reefer madness movie mania"

(is that acceptable? it's gonna be tough)

Add on the end. The next person searches on your term, then they add something. If they get 0 results on yout term, they lose.

o.k.

"reefer madness mania information"

No results. Congratulations, you "won".

My turn to start: "Internet"

2,230,000,000 for "internet"

"internet business" 

errrm.... I thought the next person gets to add the word?

"internet business"  - 14,100,000

that's what i thought.

continue?

yeah--who adds the word?

i need rule clarification.

First person chooses a word, say "Fresh". This recieves a score on google (number of hits) of 299,000,000

The next person adds a word to this "fresh apples" with a score of 184,000

The next person always adds a word, which means *EVERYBODY* except the loser that gets 0 hits!

So dekrazee1 should have added a word to the query after searching on bluegirls query.

HUH??!??!?!?

I'm so confused...

Person one: "Google"

Person two: "Google" = 2'000'000 results, "Google search"

Person three: "Google Search" = 900'000 results, "Google Search terms"

And so on....

The person that gets 0 hits on the previous persons query loses. If I have to search on "Google Search Terms Testing Algoritm betas" and get 0 hits, I lose. Then the next person pick a new word to start with.

AH, I get it!

So one person leaves a word that the next person has to search for, record their results, and then leave another word. (add to previous search term)
 Is that it?

Yes. I start over:

"Sky"

Now you should search on "sky", tell us the number of results and add a word for the next person to search on. Don't forget the --> "" <-- around the query!!!

345,000,000 for "sky"

"sky blue" 

737,000 hits for "sky blue"

"Sky blue paint"

6,330 for "sky blue paint".

"sky blue paint job" 

"sky blue paint job" - 199

"Sky blue paint job ladder"

you win.

(i thought i was still in it. i got a ton of results, but when i looked again it said no results and then showed results for the phrase without quotations)

"tiger"
