Google Bomb Washington Post
February 2, 2006 | Ken

Posted on 02/03/2006 6:48:51 PM PST by EsotericDiatribe

I know this tasteless Washington Post cartoon has been discussed on Free Republic.

I wrote a post about it on my blog here.

I am calling on the online community, particularly the blogging community, to take part in a Google Bomb and show the world what the Washington Post really is: a Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag.

Some members of the Right Nation community are already taking part.

To participate simply add the following link to your blog or website: Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag.

You can track progress here and here.

The more sites that add this link:

Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag

the faster the google bomb will work.

There was a "cartoonist" on H & C who was defending this crap. Sean was getting ready to jump on his a$$.

Yeah, Ted Rall was the cartoonist who made fun of Pat Tillman for giving up a lucrative sports contract to fight the war.

The same Pat Tillman who was KILLED in a firefight.

Rall and his ilk are all pillow biters. Sean rules.

Ted Rall (The cartoonist/columnist) is completely evil. He is a weasel. He has never sacrified a single thing in his entire life to help anybody else. He should not merit an obituary when karma mercifully ends the insult of his existence to this decent society. Go back and find his column after the Nov elections. It will tell you everything you need to know. Rall did a Joel Stein and admitted what he really thinks (and what we all already know about liberals - they think they are smarter, better, more civilized, educated and everything else than us Red Staters). Rall needs to be deported to France where the rest of his kind live.

Will clicking on your "Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag" link lots of times help the Google Bomb? I don't understand exactly how a Google bomb works.......

Why would anyone want to generate hits and traffic for Washington Post? Putting links to Washington Post all over the place will drive traffic to them and strengthen their business. Is this some clever trick to support Washington Post?

Adding this link: Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag to websites, blogs, forums, etc will cause a search of the term to bring up the Washington Post's site.

To learn more about google bombs click on the google bomb link in the body of my original post, or, if you prefer, just click here. I don't think clicking on the link will effect the search engine's algorithm.

THanx. I did click the Google Bomb link, and you are right. I do have an obscure home page somewhere with Bellsouth, and I'll add it in if I can still find it and access it.

Some people think that no publicity is bad publicity. I disagree. EVERY link to a site boosts the site's page rank and draws people to the site; but the Google Bomb is used to make a point about the target's website. Everyone who participates will be openly calling the Washington Post a Tasteless Unpatriotic Rag. I don't suppose the Washington Post's management will be thrilled that they are associated with that query.

Hmmm, I see. And I guess the Washington Post is already well known, so you're not "letting the cat out of the bag" by putting up links to their site.

Well I don't have any blogs to put your link into, but good luck. Do you have any hard numbers on how many links will be required to have the effect you want?

I think about 90 sites participated in the 'waffles' googlebomb that targeted Kerry. That was a success. I think since "tasteless unpatriotic rag" is such an obscure term that it will probably only take about 20 sites.... but the more the merrier

Don't go there; speaking from experience, the mods tend to pull googlebombing threads.

No longer do business with Google. See my tagline and search for Google by date and please review all the posts.
