Google Loco

Here are some other cool Google search tricks that I came across while doing my research. With these terms you would go to Google and type in each term respectively and it will transform your search page to look like some of the following:You will find this disclaimer underneath the search box and the crazy symbols. I think many people never even look at the disclaimer:

"Google Loco (googleloco.com or thatsloco.com) is not affiliated with Google in anyway. The term "Google" is a registered trademark of Google"

After looking around, I also found this to be the motto of Google Loco:

"Search so good, you don't even need to understand what you're looking for"

So at first glance this site looks like a spoof site or one just for fun when you are feeling a little "Loco". Who wouldn't be entertained by this "loco" site with bouncing letters and only crazy symbols appearing when you type into the search box?

Much to my surprise it actually returned results that seemed related to my search term. At first glance it appears it works pretty normally but ahh.....it goes deeper than that.

Is Google Locoa Trick or just for fun? While it can be just for fun, this site was essentially set up to bring back results that are not from the organic searches on Google but rather results that are actually Ads by Google.

This being said I think we all know that Adsense is one of the top ways to earn money on the internet. It appears this site was set up to make their money by way of Adsense. So do you feel this was ingenious or a Google Loco Trick leaving you feeling dooped?
