Heh, worked for me. Make sure you click “I’m feeling lucky” from the main google.co.nz page. Funny as! I particularly enjoyed the suggestions.

But the result page isn’t from google… Guess he just did a great work optimizing the search for those keywords, making him able to appear with the “feelin’ lucky” button!
Good job, anyways

To replicate the author’s result you need to search for “find chuck norris” (without the quotes) with Google, you will be redirected to the site: http://clients.arranschlosberg.com/chuck/

This made me lol.
But it only is a google search optimization, do a normal find for find chuck norris and look at the 1st result.

You guys are ALL nubs. It’s not an “optimization”, it doesn’t redirect you.. in fact the author of this found it via a comment on digg earlier today and decided to post it like he actually knew something.. and guess what? he FAILED! got it wrong. Wow.. the internet is full of Corkies.
F@1L x a million.

I know the author personally.. no SEO / Google optimisation was used. It’s just spread; like word of mouth. If you do a normal Find Chuck Norris in google, first hit will be the right one. I have no idea what alot of these people are on about? T D?

Anyway – check the source code, nothing in the META data. It’s purely from people posting on forums and links which has increased his search results by people saying ‘type in find chuck norris and hit I’m feeling lucky’ or linking direct to his page.

Read the book Tipping Point..

Good one. You should also try searching for “French military Victories” on google. Just click I’m Feeling Lucky

2008-05-25 22:19:41

Wow, both this and the comment by Daizyangel13 are amazing.

@dznutz: I suppose you think you were the first person to ever use “FAIL” in that context huh?

Its because theres a site called nochucknorris.com and its the first thing that comes up when u search it and also when u press im feeling lucky at the bottom it says this page has no affiliation with google.

Not to be a pedant, but your text says:

and click on “I’m Feelink Lucky” …

Not

and click on “I’m Feeling Lucky” …
