A while ago, due to a discussion is #lojban, I created

http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/

and some variants on the name.

At the bottom, you'll notice a somewhat subtle refference to
lojban.org.  This was deliberately subtle: JFGI had become popular,
and I wanted to get as many of the people who came to it to click
through to lojban.org, and I figured (let's be honest) knowing what
it was would prevent that.

JFGI has already gotten me a job (there used to be a job
solicitation below the lojban.org link), but I hadn't checked the
success of the lojban.org link in a while.

Both JFGI and the lojban.org link have been successful beyond my
wildest dreams:

http://lojban.org/stats/#refsite

JFGI and its variants have brought 430, 000 hits to lojban.org.

All other sites *combined* have brought 390, 000 hits, so JFGI has
brought more hits to lojban.org then all other referring sites
combined.

Woot.

Note that this is not anything like the total lifetime hits on the
site; that's at almost 4 million.  But most of those aren't
refferred from another site.
