Actually, there are SEO competitions like this. Goal is to reverse-engineer SERP algorithms by ranking for words that do not exist.

A recent (A few years back) German one was for "Hommingberger Gepardenforelle", a fictitous fish.

In reading through these papers, I ran across the descriptions for those.

I think we should organize one here. Get someone to be in charge of organizing the competitors, pick a random keyword with no results, set a time limit and see who can pull it off. Would be a good challenge for a lot of us here.
