There is a german saying: "Satz mit X, war wohl nix." that comes to mind. Anti-Search Engine Optimisation. The world has really passed google by, if this is a valid option.

> "Satz mit X, war wohl nix."

Google translate: “Sentence with X was probably nothing.“

I'm German. Here's a better translation: "A sentence with X: That evidently didn't work." The "sentence with X" part hinges on the alternative spelling of "nichts" (nothing) as "nix".
