Couldn't you link something else to the body count? Like Rumsfeld?

5. Type the code in your signature line
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 01:55 PM by mstrsplinter326
and then have people, including yourself, click on it

the more people that do it, the higher rating it gets in google.

Edit:

P.S. it's good to see you on around these parts as an ally rather than an adversary!

11. Here's a link explaining it
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 06:31 PM by MUSTANG_2004
http://www.microcontentnews.com/articles/googlebombs.htm

"This article I'm writing may be about Google Bombs... but if enough sites linked to it using the phrase "Aunt Jemima," then this article might come up as the first search result for "Aunt Jemima." In other words, the linker can impact the Google Rank of the linkee.

And thus was born the Google Bomb. As Adam notes:

Simply having tons of the same links with the same phrase on a single page will do nothing. It requires a multitude of pages to have that link with specific link text. But this power can be harnessed with a concentrated group effort.

So a single Google Bomb isn't enough... you need an army of bloggers throwing Google Bombs into their weblogs.

Adam lobbed the first Google Bomb as a joke, aimed squarely at a friend of his: Andy "Talentless Hack" Pressman. Amazingly, a year later, Adam's Google Bomb demonstrates tremendous staying power, as Andy's website is still the number one search result for "Talentless Hack""

12. I did something wrong? My link gets an error window.
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 06:55 PM by in_cog_ni_to
My George Bush link gives an error window. :( Should I leave the angle bracket that follows "George Bush"...like yours has? I used all brackets instead of the angle brackets. :hi:
