Don't worry pluto
Don't worry pluto, I'm not a planet either.
For any fans of the solar system and astronomy check out Nine Planets (a reference to the planets in our solar system). It has been an authority site on space for years. Now that the IAU has deemed Pluto to not be a planet, the 9 has become redundant. Instead of changing their domain name, and losing all those links, their new logo banner has simply had the Nine crudely crossed out and replaced it with an 8. Hilarious.

coolest guy in Australia ?
There are 433,000 websites competing in this experiment for the words "coolest guy in australia" in this experiment, at least according to everyone's favourite search engine.
Why do Google give a first page result for Wikipedia's page on cool? Not because a person at google decides what's best for each word searched for each page, rather because their algorithm is designed to automatically make the "authority" of any given subject top results.
Google's algorithm consists of 300 factors to determine who an authority is on a given search term.
I've screwed the time stamps. Welcome to the jumble. It gets worse here everyday?

More experiment info
With enough time and skill (and money?), anyone can get in Google's first page, perhaps even first result of a search for any term.
It is not as easy as it once was. Google has changed their algorithm making it much more difficult to influence results, fortunately for legitimate sites.
The amount of information out there is staggering.
