Googlebombing Wasilla Rapekit Scandal (not gate, lol)

[sudopod]

Take a look at the URL for the CNN.com front page article by Jessica Yellin about Wasilla charging rape victims for their evidince gathering examinations--it contains both "Palin" and "rape."

"http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/21/palin.rape.exams/index.html"

Google is going to eat that shit up, lol.

How many blogs are going to link to this article? Guess what will be right on the front page when someone searches for "Palin" from now on? XD

Let's help it along, though, and make sure there are PLENTY of links to it everywhere.

Here, let me start the ball rolling: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/21/palin.rape.exams/index.html">Sarah Palin.

1. what are we supposed to do?

[sudopod]

5. Google maps the world wide web

using programs that sweep through websites, mapping the hyperlinks that lead to and from web pages as they go. It goes roughly like this: the more websites that link to a given document, the higher the importance of that document, and thus the higher the Google ranking for that document for terms that appear in the page's meta-data, in the hyperlinks, in the URL, and in the page's content.

So, broadly speaking, the more links to a page with "Sarah Palin" in the link title, the higher those pages appear in a google search for "Sarah Palin."

Note that this isn't quite as effective as it was in the past, since Google frowns on these shenanigans and tries to compensate for them, but the fact that it is CNN will help a lot.

Plus, it only has to work for a little while to make a difference. ^_^

2. Um, do we really have to add -gate to every scandal?

It ruins the effectiveness when something like travelgate gets compared to watergate.

my 2 cents.

[SuperTrouper]

3. When we add Gate it means that is reached the threshold of scandal

so it is Rapekitgate

[FSogol]

6. I agree the rape kit should be a scandal. I disagree that the suffix -gate

adds any meaning to it. -gate is overused and has lost its power.

8. LOL, geez, ok. Fixed. XD nt

9. Wow disturbing comments.

Stories like this Sarah Palin story are depressing, but I guess this election is a healthy opportunity for Alaska to get some good and bad exposure.

11. Sarah Palin is a fraud.

Sarah Palin appears to be completely without shame and utterly full of shit

12. Alaska bloggers have been on this for a couple of weeks

It's great to see it gaining legs nationally. This is really a disgrace.
