Once the test site was successfully added to Google's index and the single webpage, and the nonsense term returned results for the test webpage, a toolbar-to-Google search from IE would just send the keyword off to Google, the search result would come back (from Google), and...

Or I'm completely missing something. This is possible.

>Now you have your magic term, do what Google did, and repeatedly search Bing for the term, from IE

That's not enough. You have to install the Bing toolbar on IE, and then consent to turn on the Suggested Sites feature.
