The search terms aren't amazing, but one of them brings up 8,520,000 results, and I'm on the front page, so I'm happy!

I found out when I checked Google Analytics today to see how Misinterpreted dot Org was doing. I thought, "I wonder what kinds of searches are bringing most people here?"

Among the top terms were:

aquafrequencies
watch me move with my juke
watch me juke
watch me move
watch me move like my juke
watch my juke
peter petrelli scrubs
has vista failed

All the juke stuff relates to a post I made a while back called, A Commercial I Hate: "Watch Me Move, Got My Juke!" Now that I think about it, my quote of the lyrics was wrong! More on that later…

So I thought I'd see what a search term like "watch me move" would bring up in the results. I thought maybe I'm somewhere on some random page.

Lo and behold, I'm on page one:

Watch Me Move

– #5 out of 8,520,000

Lets check all the variants.

Watch Me Juke

– #2 out of 656,000

Watch My Juke

– #3 out of 700,000

Watch Me Move With My Juke

– #1 out of 34,100

Watch Me Move Like My Juke

– #9 out of 20,000

Watch Me Like With My Juke

– #2 out of 57,300 (I had typed in the wrong query, but being #2 is awesome [unless you're Bono])

Watch Me Move Got My Juke

– #1 out of 193,000

I read this comment on YouTube under the Verizon Juke video commercial: "That is called "Juking" my friend…very hard, but fun to do…it's been big for over 30 years and in the Midwest, but its finaly made its way around…."

I guess to Juke is to dance? And listening to the song again, it sounds like, "Watch me move, like my Juke?" Like, "Watch me dance, like my moves?" So in that case, the title to my post is completely wrong! But I'm not changing it. Being on the front page of Google for those search terms is too much motivation to leave it as is.

Among the other search terms that were bringing me traffic were aquafrequencies, peter petrelli scrubs, and has vista failed. The Vista one didn't bring me up anywhere near #1, so I'll just cover the other two.

Aquafrequencies relates to another post I wrote called "The Power Of Water And Positive Thought" about the Aquafrequencies cure-all software system. How do I rank for that search term?

Aquafrequencies

– #6 and #7 out of 188

It's interesting that I'm listed on the front page, just a few results below the actual site for the program. But I guess since there are only 188 results for the term, that doesn't really mean as much as it might otherwise.

What about Peter Petrelli? I had written a post about his name being mentioned on Scrubs, When Worlds Collide: Peter Petrelli and Scrubs. And now:

Peter Petrelli Scrubs

– #1 out of 51,500

I had heard someone say on Scrubs that her fear of death forced her to ask Peter Petrelli to the sock hop in the 8th grade. Astounded, I searched and searched before finding that others on the net had noticed the same thing. At one point I mistakenly thought that there was only 1 other person who knew. Later I found out that others were also aware of the triviality (well, I thought it was cool). But now being #1 for the search term I had originally used — all I can say is wow.

So now I bet you're wondering, how did I pull off getting on the front page of Google for 9 different searches? Here's my 3 Point Solution to this conundrum:

Point 1: I wrote 3 separate posts, each of which used the key words in their titles.
Point 2: WordPress automatically added header tags and created SEO-friendly URLs.
Point 3: The ideas for each search are either rare or relatively new.

As I said, Peter Petrelli mentioned on Scrubs seemed at first to be rarely noticed, and therefore not too often mentioned online. Aquafrequencies only has 188 results because the program isn't that well-known. And the Verizon Juke commercial is fairly new.

I believe I was able to rank highly for all these terms because there isn't a major amount of competition (just yet). Plus, the terms don't send me a huge amount of traffic. If they did, you can bet there'd be other sites more proactive about ranking for them.

But still… I'm made the front page of Google, and not just for some Googlewhack!

A while back I watched, "What The Bleep Do We Know!?", a movie about quantum physics and the true nature of reality. There was a segment I found particularly intriguing, in which multiple microscope slides of water were shown. Each slide was accompanied by a short message. I believe originally, all the water was the same. However, at some point, a group of people was gathered and asked to focus on a single idea, which was represented by a specific short message. One idea, "Peace," was focused on, and a picture of a sample of water nearby was taken. They did the same thing for "Love" and a few other positive ideas. All the slides of the "positive" water samples contained beautiful crystalline structures. But there was one that looked a sickly yellow. Its accompanying message? "You make me sick. I will kill you."

That just blew my mind! The whole point was that your thoughts and feelings have a definite impact on the molecular structure of water. And since we're made up of 70% water ourselves, it is important to get our minds under control. The segment of the film I believe also had a sample of holy water, that was as beautiful under the microscope as had been the other "positive" samples.

So that's all well and good, I thought. Months went by and I hadn't heard anything relating to the concept of, "Think this and your water will do that." Until recently.

Yesterday I stumbled across a website called "Aquafrequencies: Super Health Through Light Frequency Software." I read about it at a forum, and then decided to see what the site was about. Apparently the creators behind the site have developed a software program that is used to charge up water with cures to various problems. Overweight? Use the fat loss function. Smoker? Use the function to quit smoking.

At first, I thought this looked cool. Interesting. Promising, even. After all, some of the information they provide is specialized knowledge that conveys how informed and educated these people are. The software itself is free to try for 15 days, but costs $30 for every 15 days after that, or $50 for every month. Or, if you were really hardcore, you could pay $300 for an unlimited license.

So I figured, wow, if it's really worth $300, there must be something to this! But of course, you can set the price of plain rocks at $1,000,000 per stone.

How does it work? Apparently, from what I can tell, you load the program and set up what you want it to do to your water, and the level of "power output." Then you put a glass of the purest water you can find near your computer's monitor, and focus on it. You think about the water, and imagine how you want it to change. "Fitness water…Water that will make me lean and toned…Happy water…Improve my mood…"

Sure, but how does the program work? Apparently it uses the light output in your monitor to send specific "frequencies" through space to alter the structure of the water. And you can do this remotely, if you'd believe it. From one room, you can charge up your bathwater. Then charge up a glass of water. Then go take a bath and drink from the glass at the same time.

Supposedly many people have had "miraculous" results with this program. I was reminded of an episode of one of my old favorite shows, "Sliders." In one of the later seasons, Quinn Mallory had fused with an alternate (an different-looking) version of himself to provide an exit for Jerry O'Connell and an entrance for a new actor. The character's name was changed to just "Mallory." In one episode, Mallory drank some special water containing nanobots that cure all ailments and communicate through frequencies of light. He then left the universe where he gained the water and visited a new universe, where he started a cult. See, the nanobots get into your brain. If someone else drinks the special water, they can communicate with you through the use of the nanobots and invisible beams of light. Mallory built a community with a single consciousness around the special water. Aquafrequencies also uses special water as a cure-all. Coincidence? Probably. Or is it?

Back to the forum. One person mentioned how this reminds them of the "magnet craze" that swept the populous a few years back. "Magnets cure everything!" Lots of people believed, and reported amazing benefits. But now that "industry" is suffering from the same woes experienced by a found-out snake-oil salesman. The person at the forum said they figure Aquafrequencies is just as bogus.

I've noticed a few things on the Aquafrequencies site that struck me as "extremely lame." Basically, they say, "If you use our program, then X should happen, which is good. But don't be alarmed if nothing happens at all, because there's a reason for that." So they make an excuse for if and when their system won't work. But why would they need to, if it really worked?

Here is the extensive, 6-page instruction manual. On page 2, it explains how to adjust the "power output." One suggestion says, "Start the slider at either 0% or 100% and move
the slider until it feels right." Sounds like things are starting to get a little less than concrete.

A little lower on the page are instructions for what to do with "prepped" water. "Drink the water, and note that this will also increase the effectiveness of both Bathing and Showering." Great! Let's get clean! But I'm sure they really mean, "It will increase the effectiveness of whatever you were trying to do, whether it be lose weight, quit smoking, or improve your skin." So why didn't they say that, instead of some weak generalization?

There's a page with ideas for "experiments" you can do, like "prep" some water and give it to your cat. They say, "Chances are the pet is going to prefer the treated one, although in some cases they might know something that we don't (like, I don't want that one – it has too much energy!)." What??!! The whole point is to give the water "energy," and now they're saying "watch out for too much?"

In "What The Bleep Do We Know!?" they had an entire group of people focus their minds, and they successfully changed the structure of multiple samples of water. A priest could also do this. So all it really takes is incredibly focused thought. I have no idea what the point of the Aquafrequencies program is. It seems superfluous.

Some of the benefits that have been reported include enhanced mood, more energy, and a oneness with oneself. Why? The use of the software entails drinking pure water and thinking pleasant thoughts. Whether the program works or not is uncertain, but what is certain is that drinking lots of pure water and thinking positive are two tried and tested methods for improving one's life. Maybe Aquafrequencies figured out that not many people do that, and that those people would allow some piece of software to steal the credit from two basic, natural principles. For shame! Unless it really does work…
