Was checking some details on one of our new clients, punched their name into google, and only returned one site.

Heres the screen dump

A googlewhack is when you do a search in google and it only shows one link! Very rare by all accounts

"A Googlewhack is a query consisting of two words (without quotation marks) entered into Google's search page that returns a single result. Googlewhacking or Googlewhackingoff is the pastime activity of finding such a result. A person attempting to find Googlewhacks is known as a Googlewhacker."
