Upvote this post so it appears on google images when you search "things that don't fucking work"
FP Edit: well this is embarassing

its need a lot of text reference only sites like reddit can achieve it. Imgur is just a image holding website with a ignorant community. ;)

You just didn't get enough upvotes

The senate one actually worked as well
larusso2k4
It works, but only if you actively surf imgur, as google will prioritize results based on language, location and sites visited...
larusso2k4
People who don't surf imgur regularly won't see this.
BecauseImBored1
Actually does lol (lame example but when my Ed Elric cosplay made front page it also made top row google search) YEAH I GOOGLED IT
OctaviousBlack
I've seen it work on reddit, not sure about imgur though.

mind = blown.

It can work. Try searching for "timmy phommasouvanh"

Nice try OP

I tried looking up pictures of "the senate" and didn't find a single picture of Palpatine.
djcoffi
I did find him, linking to "know your meme". It's down on the 6th row though.
pangalgargblast
huh. Interesting.

I upvoted this so people will be aware on google

Not 9 hours ago OP didn't. 9 hours ago when I made my comment.

He provided the image for the lazy, if you think it's false you can take 10 seconds to check it yourself

Shhh, he is too lazy to do that!

Google is based on what you view
heylookitsmyusername
But they do? Hasn't there been a bunch of confirmed times reddit has done that?
FrankyBabes
A) Reddit posts get a lot more votes and B) Reddit is favoured in the searches (as I understand it) because it's more mainstream.

Those Reddit posts pulled way more upvotes than ours did
heylookitsmyusername
Does reddit really get that much more traffic than imgur? considering they're kind of linked at the hip?
ssaberhagen
Oh yes, imgur started as just their hosting image site, a lot still see it like that and they see a lot of what we post but not vise versa
TheSauceGuy
It's not about the amount of upvotes, it's irrelevant in Google's algorithm.
SuperBobKing
Upvotes bring more traffic to the image. Even if upvotes are directly considered they are necessary to bring traffic.
heylookitsmyusername
Upvotes as a way of visualizing web traffic though more upvotes usually means more traffic
ScorelessPine
The problem is that most people don't realize the post has to begin with the words to appear in Google's algorithm correctly.
heylookitsmyusername
Isn't that why people make the post the way they do? To ensure it's read in the algorithm correctly?
BecauseGodisDead
You think google counts imgur points? Pcitures are ranked according to how often they're viewed
heylookitsmyusername
I'm not saying they count points, im saying that points can be a visual representation of traffic and if something's on the FP it gets seen
NinjablazerZero
Points aren't accurate though cause of how many people will view something without leaving any points, positive or negative.
heylookitsmyusername
But if something has 2500 points positive or negative at least that many people saw it, most likely more
NinjablazerZero
Yeah but with how many people don't vote, 2500 couod be gotten from a post that has 15,000 views.
heylookitsmyusername
Which is what google bases their stuff on
BecauseGodisDead
they get seen only by the relatively small imgur users, won't affect google ranking

Pinterest. Why are so many image search results from Pinterest?

They do, if you have talent, skill, and put the necessary time and money into it.
Aquilarden
And use the same materials. Like fondant.
Dactrius
This especially annoys me because Pinterest reduces the resolution of everything uploaded to it. Everything looks so grainy.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
most of the time the links don't even fucking work, because it prompts you to sign up to pinterest.
BrightColours
And you are required to sign up just to browse

Greasemonkey scripts go a long way,not that i go on pinterest often but still
Greymalum
I tried searching those images upvoted under this premise a while ago, none of it works and imgur is rarely mentioned in results.
GrassfedChicken
I've found several images on imgur by googling them. Your keyword game is weak.

Many times i have searched for something and the top result has been an imgur post...

People on reddit once got a picture of a potato for "Gaming Console".

Imgur is frequently there when I search for reference character art. Quite a few results end up being Imgur.
GuardsmanMiku
it depends how popular the thing they're trying to overcome is. This post may hit google but 'isis' for example is way to commonly searched
SuperBobKing
Pictures of the god are the first result for that when I search anyway.
Outdoortoast
They used to, I used to go back and check. I think Google changed the filtering system.
ExTechOp
They end up high on Google searches for a while, but then quickly fade out. I'd be surprised if upvoting made much difference, though.
ExTechOp
Right now, Google images gives exactly this page as 1st with "things that don't fucking work", but I doubt it'll last for very long.
iamthisguy247
Google "Third Tuesday of the month".
Ammoniumdichromate
1) The thing is is that that is a imgur thing so of course one of the first 5 pages would have to be an imgur site. Something like is
Ammoniumdichromate
2) ISIS isn't because everyone is talking about it, not just imgurians.
HitlersRupturedColon
First thing is reddits OutOfTheLoop sub
iamthisguy247
True, but there are plenty of Imgur results and that sub is directly talking about the imgur post. Also if you switch to images it's there.
HitlersRupturedColon
I know, its just kind of ironic. I'm sure the only reason its the first link is becuz of ppl that didn't understand the reference.
craaaaaaaaaaaaig
That doesn't count
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Fine. Google "sarah plz"

Didn't work. And I gotta say. I don't think that's been one of these types of posts anyways.
