GoogleBomb, What's Good for the Goose
Googlebombs. Seems a pretty sleazy way to drum up votes. But I guess if you have no vision for the future of America beyond "soak-the-rich" class warfare and "cut and run" from Iraq, you have to get a little more creative. And if that means digging up dirt, so be it. From Right Wing News:
Last night, I learned that Chris Bowers over at MyDD has been organizing a Googlebomb campaign for the 2006 election.
The idea behind the Googlebomb is not to highlight the policy positions of the Democrats, but to dig up negative articles about the Republicans. So it's really just an extension of the way Democrats have been campaigning all along. John Hawkins decided that in order to level the playing field, our side should play too. I say, why not? And John has done all the work, all we have to do is post.
So, what's to be done? Well, in my opinion, we should simply fight fire with fire. That's why I put together a list of key races for Republican blogs to Googlebomb. How do you do that? Simply view source, grab the HTML below, and post it on your blog or in a forum that you frequent. Then, once Google picks it up, the links on these candidates should rocket up charts and help even the playing field for the GOP in the key races.
