is there a way to do a "reverse" google? find out what words/combinations bring a site as a #1 hit?

as in reverse engineer?

not exactly, you would need their algorithm - which is incredibly complex, as far as i know.

it seems to be very sensible though - ignore the meta tags, just look at the content, the visible stuff.

so it looks (very closely) at the title of each page, the contents, the ALT tags of images, and how people link to that site.

that's where googlebombing came into play.

if i want cal to rank highly for the term "naked sul", i could link to it as here is naked sul.

well, iamcal is number three on the naked sul bit, but i find the "Re: Need pictures of Lara Croft and Misty from Pokemon Naked" hit just a tad more interesting... (perhaps because it's on a driver forum?)

You get naked on the internet ONCE and it keeps coming back to bite you in your pasty white arse for the rest of your life!
