For the last two days, the word "habitaquo" topped the search chart in Technorati. It looks like a Spanish word for me, so I look it up in Google Translate and found out that it doesn't have any meaning. Why does this word has large number of searches and blog posts then? Technorati's WTF on habitaquo,
google.dirson.com launched a SEO contest in which the winner will be the website appearing on the first position of Google SERPs on May 23rd with "habitaquo" word. The first prize is an Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo so there are lots of blogs inserting this new word.
Google search result page has different rankings on the same keyword in different countries/cities. Users in NY, Seattle or Toronto may see different results on SERP even if they type in the same word because they are using different data centers. Hence, google.dirson.com also specify the IP of the data center "64.233.167.100". You would be able to find out more information on Google datacenter here.
