just two little words
Pioneergirl.com is almost a googlewhack. (See googlewhack.com for details.) Your site is a googlewhack if it is the only website that shows up when you do a google search for two words from the dictionary, using no quotation marks. Just two little words. Like xanthophyll zog or woodchuck slough, but of course those aren't googlewhacks at all - try and see.
I played around one night, and I found two "almost" googlewhacks for pages from pioneergirl.com. The trouble is - I was using names and search terms such as pioneergirl, which isn't in the dictionary but has been in my vocabulary as one word for years.
And I found that nansie bouchie (no quotes) brought up one page from the Kingsbury County archives where I asked a question about the Bouchies way back when. Pioneergirl memoir brought up my main page. Cyberbessie ebay brought up feedback I left for a seller; I've left a lot of feedback on ebay, so it was interesting that only one page showed up.
I sat here with the dictionary and searched for two-word combinations that would show up no pages. As soon as I can work craneuch swint into a page about Laura Ingalls Wilder, I'm all set.
