I took down 44 zerglings with 185 APM! I'm not good at defending Google!!!!
Alas, I took down only 11 with 107 APM. Serves me right, mouse has been needing cleaning for over a week now.
Hopefully, some of our zerg rush hubs are getting extra traffic this weekend.
Not if the links keep getting destroyed.
Here's my theory. I've seen "zerg rush" in the top-ten searches of one search engine already. For that term, that's probably a 100-fold increase. I'm thinking spillover as searchers kekeke google and zerg-rush the other search engines to figure out what the heck is going on.
I checked the first 2 zerg-rush hubs in hub search. Sure enough, they're showing up in the hot-category on the author's profile page. Now, as to whether they were in the hot-category before google started all this...; that I do not know.
I tried. Several different times and ways. Finally (from the ABC News article blurb, I believe):
(“Zerg rush” may not work in all browsers; we've seen this before.)
I can testify that's so.
Thank you very much for posting this! I didn't know. If you hadn't posted this, there would have been people out there thinking that I was being mean to them. Very much appreciated!!!!!!
You're welcome, for what it's worth.
I may try again later on another computer. I'm still whimpering a bit, but at least I know that it's not me, and it's not you either!
What would be really awesome is if you could destroy them all by quickly searching for "nuclear launch detected."
I hope no one goes to google and punches in, "do a barrel roll"...
More nonsense.

Just a question. Why is that when I try to search for my hubs using words in the title, that they do not come up when I search hub pages? I tried "Queer." and "Camping" and the ones I was looking for never showed up. I also tried doing a search by date, and nothing.I hope...

In the past 5 months I've searched for thousands of words on google, never once have I seen an article from HP. Then learning from a post in the forum, I searched for a keyword on google and added "hubpages". For the first time, I saw one of my articles on the first page on google. It's...

So most of my current articles are doing okay but one article has fallen dramatically over the past year and I'm not sure how to fix it.I've tried tweaking the title, the summary, adding more to the article but it has only lost more traffic.Any helpful hints on what I can do or is it just out of my...

I wrote a hub and published it a couple of days ago and it's very clinical in nature. I just recently learned about Google's poison words and realized I may have written something Google with think is poison-worded. Here is the hub:http://hubpages.com/hub/Gender-Reassignment-SurgeryNo poison words...
