Learn about Google via a Click Generating Listicle
September 28, 2015
Desperate for clicks on your Web site. Follow the lead of “17 things You Didn’t Know about Google.” The idea is simple. Cook up a catchy title like “17 Things,” relate the title to the number of years Google has been in business, and break up a list into individual Web pages. Listicle magic.
I flipped through this article to see what gems about Google the authors mined from the wealth of Alphabet Google content available via a Google search.
Here are three “things” I highlighted as representative of the intellectual depth of the listicle.
- Google used to be called Backrub. Alas, there is no mention of the influences upon the founder. Clever or an oversight?
- Google is a derivative of a mathematical term. Omitted is the misspelling that yielded Google. Alphabets can be confusing.
- Google is scanning books. I wonder if the authors and publishers know about this?
Fill your mind. Absorb the other 14 facts. Be enriched.
