I am more popular than Fidel Castro
March 10, 2008
When prefixed with the letters “fi” Google’s keyword suggestion provides as its first two entries firefox and find chuck norris; I am responsible for the latter. Fidel Castro claims 5th place.
If you haven’t seen it:
- Go to Google
- Type “find Chuck Norris” (without the “s)
- Press “I’m Feeling Lucky”
And if you don’t believe that it was me have a look at the Shlog link at the bottom of the page.
Seeing as I have received so many emails enquiring as to how I managed to pull it off I wrote a (longer) non-technical white paper from a marketing perspective.

Mr. Arraan, I would like to congratulate you on your cunning and genius. A premeditated act of such thoughtfulness and knowledge that affects so many people speaks of your intelligence. Do you happen to know how many people view this web page daily (your blog), and how many people go on assuming that the “google” page is part of the actual google corporation? I would be interested to know, if you could tell me.
It’s refreshing to come across such a mastermind,
Mr. Knowlton

Genius. I love it. I had a friend come across this blog, and read it to my classmates and I had to try it. Then I came across your wordpress, and thought (after I laughed my but off) “There are brilliant peoplr who create the craziest things, Thank God for them”
