Guest post by Ryan Durk -

For 24 hours on 1/1/08, Google's logo kindly began linking to my site.

Starting New Years Eve, Google redirected all clicks on its homepage logo to a search for the term January 1 TCP/IP. Recognizing the opportunity to receive immense amounts of traffic (and Google's endorsement), I devised a strategy to rank for this term. My site grabbed rankings at 1, 2, 3 and 4 within 2 hours and maintained spots 1, 3 and 4 until sometime Wednesday. As of right now, it has received over 2000 Diggs and 300,000 page impressions of traffic that converts terribly. More on this later.

What does this really show again?  How to capture traffic on a hot keyword that no has (or cares) to target before anybody else?
