By using a special prefix before your search term, you can access a secret admin area within Google that lets you manually manipulate the rankings and increase your site's rank!
I tested it out myself and managed to get my site to the #1 for "make money online". But be warned! Google has ways to detect when you do this, so you'll have to make sure that you just do it gradually!
I also don't understand how such a tool could remain a secret for very long...I mean, the fact that some stranger told you in a forum pretty much proves that point. If this thing really existed people would have started charging others for the service already and some stupid person would have abused it so much by now that Google would have shut it down.
I just don't think I can believe it.
Even though we all complain about PR. Whether it is up or down that fact that Google does it themselves keeps us all equal to a degree. Cheating the system in that fashion is not equal. One of the problems now is the fact that crap sites have higher rankings than sites that probably deserve it more. Why makes things even worse than they already are?
If it's real, then I'm sure Kumiko would be happy to do it again at a specific time so we can all see the results. Right, Kumiko?
This sort of post is best saved for April 1.
The real search is blocked out.
