How To Have the Most Popular Website Ever

Here is a quick and easy way to get the most popular website ever, all to yourself. You don't need decent content, or even a good look. Just follow these simple steps and you'll be set!

  1. Create a temporary webpage with a form and a submit button. The form should have action="http://www.google.com" and method="post".
  2. Open up Microsoft Internet Explorer and open the webpage you just created.
  3. Click on the form. You should be brought to the Google homepage.
  4. Click on any single link on that page.
  5. Click your browser's back button.
  6. If Internet Explorer tells you that the page has expired, then you have succeeded. Since google.com has expired, it is now up for grabs. Register it as soon as possible.

Remember that people will notice that google.com has expired very quickly, so you have to hurry up. Also, it's possible that domain name registration services will give you slightly outdated information. If the service says that google.com is already registered, just keep hitting refresh until it says otherwise. You may need to repeat this process if someone (including Google) reregisters before you do.

Once you obtain ownership of google.com, your website will receive unbelievable amounts of traffic. Put anything you want there: your biography, pictures of your dog, donation requests, etc. Everyone who thinks they're going to the Google search engine will get your website instead!
