To date Anna (my girlfriend) has gotten 5416 hits to her cookie page (a
page about a burlap cookie she found on Haight st.) because of the alt tag
"FUCK!, SUCK! DICK!, CUNT! COCK!
---these words were INSERTED to increase my hit count"
And boy did they ever. Big brother (altavista) archived her about a month
later and we started to recieve hits with referer strings like
http://altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&what=web&fmt=.&q=fuck+suck+teen+
cunt -> /~anna/cookie2.html
Though She's regretted doing it. I think she got annoyed with the amount
of people looking at her page with intent of jacking off, rather then for
looking for art. Though we get a few with strings like artichoke going to
her vegitable of the month.
