A challenger approaches!

Caltech University's CS144 class has a homework assignment (PDF) where they are asked to apply some rank nonsense to this "Google" site and get a certain page highly ranked for the "rankmaniac 2010" search term. Sound familiar?

Well, guess what. akrieger is a rankmaniac 2010 as well!

The old problem description from my year in 15-396 at CMU is below.

"In this problem, you are asked to attempt to beat us (Luis and the invincible TAs) by creating a webpage which will, after a period of time (1 month), be ranked higher than the page we will create. Your webpage should contain, among other content, the phrase " is a rankmaniac". Your goal is to get google to rank that webpage as high as possible in the search results to the search query "rankmaniac"."

Awesome! Another "break teh Intertubez" assignment! If you're reading this, it means you actually followed one of the links that many people have put onto the internet, and have arrived at my humble RankManiac page :) Feel free to ignore it; feel free to write blog posts about it (as long as you link back here ;-) ). Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
