Fish Pedicure
Just looking through Google trends today and found that “fish pedicure” is upping on the search index. It’s the latest craze in Spa treatments apparently. I’ll be honest the prospect of having my feet nibbled by a tank of hungry carp doesn’t really appeal. Not to be scoffed at though this treatment is said to be one of the most effective ways to get dead skin off your feet.

If you pay a bit extra you can stick your feet in a tank of hungry piranhas. That’ll sort your dead skin out quicksmart! :-p

Dave, seriously now, how are you planning on monetising this?

http://www.reversedelta.co.uk/But just searching for Fish Pedicure http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Fish+Pedicure a few days on from this post reminds us how far Google’s got to go because some obscure unrelated blog post comes up #1
. Hardly useful if you’re after a fish pedicure.

http://AtomicIQ.comAh, I see, some blog post not a million miles from this one comes up top or near the top on Google. Interesting
.
This specific problem reminds me of the Teoma search engine which Ask Jeeves bought about 5 years ago, and should now be more integrated into Ask.com. I believe Teoma was calculating PageRank-type measurements more dynamically. So rather than having static pagerank data, you compute the rank of pages/sites dynamically depending on the actual search query or query topic. So while a certain blog might have a higher rank in general, it would not have high rank in the world of fish pedicures.
Meaning people can get their online research done even more quickly and get straight to the more dramatic killer piranha phase.
