With this kind of strategy you can divide your SERPs in more or less four equal parts. If you use another common keyword or feature, you can double the number of equal sets, for each new keyword...

Like a skilled native, the able seeker has become part of the web. He knows the smell of his forest: the foul-smelling mud of the popups, the slime of a rotting commercial javascript. He knows the sounds of the web: the gentle rustling of the jpgs, the cries of the brightly colored mp3s that chase one another among the trees, singing as they go; the dark snuffling of the m4as, the mechanical, monotone clincking of the huge, blind databases, the pathetic cry of the common user: a plaintive cooing that slides from one useless page down to the next until it dies away in a sad, little moan. In fact, to all those who do not understand it, today's Internet looks more and more like a closed, hostile and terribly boring commercial world.
Yet if you stop and hear attentively, you may be able to hear the seekers, deep into the shadows, singing a lusty chorus of praise to this wonderful world of theirs -- a world that gives them everything they want.
The web is the habitat of the seeker, and in return for his knowledge and skill it satisfies all his needs.

The seeker does not even need any more to hoard on his hard disks whatever he has found: all the various images, musics, films, books and whatsnot that he fetches from the web... he can just taste and leave there what he finds, without even copying it, because he knows that nothing can disappear any more: once anything lands on the web, it will always be there, available for the eternity to all those that possess its secret name...

The web-quicksand moves all the time, yet nothing can sink.

In order to fetch all kinds of delicious fruits, the seeker just needs to raise his sharp searchstrings.

In perfect armony with the sourronding internet forest, he can fetch again and again, at will, any target he fancies, wherever it may have been "hidden". The seeker moves unseen among sites and backbones, using his anonymity skills, his powerful proxomitron shield and his mighty HOST file.
If need be, he can quickly hide among the zombies, mimicking their behaviour and thus disappearing into the mass.

Moving silently along the cornucopial forest of his web, picking his fruits and digging his juwels, the seeker avoids easily the many vicious traps that have been set to catch all the furry, sad little animals that happily use MSIE (and outlook), that use only one-word google "searches", and that browse and chat around all the time without proxies, bouncing against trackers and web-bugs and smearing all their personal data around.

Moreover the seeker is armed: his sharp browser will quickly cut to pieces any slimy javascript or rotting advertisement that the commercial beasts may have put on his way. His bots' jaws will tear apart any database defense, his powerful scripts will send perfectly balanced searchstrings far into the forest.

So, that was it. Any questions?

Your own private investigations

The power of searching at your fingertips, what are you waiting for?
Start your own private investigations! Here two rather naïve examples.

1) Inflation
Don't you have the impression that the real inflation we have all to endure (with more and more expensive everyday prices) is waaay more than that ludicrous 2,1% (circa) that our powers that be claim year after year?
Well, there are a series of newspapers with their COMPLETE ARCHIVES on the web, searchable, for free.
Supermarket chains, Aldi, Carrefour, you name it, have also published on the web their "fabolous" offers and prices.
Or try this: http://www.google.com/catalogs :-)
You'll be able to find the older pages, as we have seen, using webarchive or similar web-snapshots repositories.

Assignement: Find the real inflation using all available data.

Some simple suggestions:
Use an average of price components that is weighted and categorized in approximately the same manner as the official Consumer Price Index.
Housing should represent the largest component at 40% with other categories having lesser impact.
The inflation rate should be calculated as a price multiplier with a base year of 1995, to represent the number of "1st January 2006" euro that are required to purchase what the equivalent of one "1st January 2006" EUR bought in 1995.
The annualized inflation rate is the equivalent average compounded yearly inflation rate over the 10 year period.
Take account of education and medical care costs, also easy to find and check on the web (some combing and social engineering will go a long way in order to find them).
Create two subgroups: 1995-1999, 2000-2005
If you do it, you will soon realize that -while the euro itself has nothing to do with it- the high inflation trend (around 6~8% real, not 2,1%) has been a (quite interesting) constant.

Purchasing power and living standards been steadily reduced, in Europe and elsewhere, through a higher than admitted real inflation, which translates of course into an automatic salary decrease for the great majority, bar speculators.
This has been coupled with a prolonged (by law) "active life" (read shorter pension), and longer working hours (and working days) without any salary compensation whatsoever for the unwashed masses.

2) Punishing greedy and corrupt ones

D'you have in your town a station being built, a new industrial area being planned, any building permits being granted, any committee for the management of public housing?

You can bet that -in 99% of cases- someone is using law-loopholes and/or a net of political protection in order to make money illegally.
But you now have the power of the seeker! Don't underestimate it.
You can explore all newspapers' databases, you can easily find related news, you can seek in many languages...

In a more and more Internet-oriented society a seeker can find out quite a lot about his targets.
You can stalk people, lure and/or troll info out of them or about them, find out where they live, how much they earn, when, where and how they started to work (political appointment? Public competition? Father's connections?)
You can, with simple social engineering tricks, get in touch with their co-workers, enter their databases, have a look at the code of their doc format documents, where word, often enough and per default, keeps all the corrections and changes which have been made to a document...

Your 'private investigations' may be small crumbs, but even small crumbs may grind the well-greased wheels of your own local political/commercial vermine!
