This a bit of an experiment in predicting the future and getting in early.

Google’s newly created browser, Chrome, has a feature that should mean it never crashes because a web page is badly behaved. Instead, just one tab should crash and an image, known as the Sad Tab, will appear.

As with any new Google product, Google Chrome will generate a lot copy and web sites about it. Getting in their quickly and establishing a site as the home for all Google Chrome news would be a smart move and I’m sure that someone is doing it as I type. I don’t have the time to put in to that sort of project so I’m experimenting with spin off keywords. e.g. the Sad Tab

It is unlikely that “Sad Tab” as a keyword will generate the millions of impressions that “Google Chrome” but it will generate some. “Sad Ipod” generates 6,600 per month, “Sad Mac” 1,900 per month and the “Fail Whale” 590 searches. Not exactly earth shattering traffic but for a couple of hours work and in the spirt of investigation, I want to see if I can get my Sad Tab image on Poosk as the number one result.

This may generate a few t-shirt sales and a bit of traffic but mostly I want to see if my approach pays off so that I can use it for future SEO operations. So the Sad Tab may not make me a fortune but it may make we wiser and this worth the time to create an article on the Sad Tab to support the Poosk page and of course there is this post as well. I plan to plant a couple of comments here and there as well and that is it. What happens next is down to Google and their algorithms.
