One of the legendary old SEO tricks was played with Infoseek. They used to spider and update instantly. This lead to building sites that did nothing but ride current events.

It used to work this way:

- wait until something major happened in the world.
- go do searches and find everything you can about the topic.
- build a quick page that you updated as fast as you could.
- submit to infoseek and wait to get spidered.

With Infoseeks instant indexing, you could build a page and have it pulling several thousand referrals within an hour or two.

Anyone playing the Google "fresh" sweepstakes? If so, how's it working?
