Interesting that people, when searching for 'cake central', still click on a link with a title saying 'ERROR: backend server did not respond in time' even though the second result has 'CakeCentral' in bold.

That's why Adwords works wonders if you can get your ad on the top of a SERP.

So many lucky users? :)

In an interview with the Washington Post in 2006 Marissa Mayer from Google said that almost no one ever uses the "I'm feeling lucky" button:

But maybe in 2011 Google users are luckier.

Or just typing 'cake central' in an address bar in firefox.

I guess most are probably just clicking on "I'm feeling lucky" and going there without even seeing the results.
