Now that you have followed Chris Bowers and joined the effort to by adding the
source code to google bomb the election to your blog our website, spend another few minutes and let your blogging software multiply the effect by adding the code to your blog template.
Here's why. Each time you post a link, you are telling google that you are voting for that link to be relevant to the text you used for the link when people search for that term. When you wrote a post using the code, your blog automatically created at least one archive page. This means that google will see two our three different pages on your blog where you are voting for the our articles to be relevant for each Republican in question.
But here is how to kick it up a notch: add the links to your blog's template.
That will result in every single page from your blog having a vote for our target results to be most relevant. If you have been blogging two posts a day for a year,
this simple step will multiply the effect of the post you did by more than 500 times. With a strong team approach with many of us doing this, you can see how easy it is for the effect to-date to be tens of thousands of times as effective as the effort to date.
The process of adding the list to your template is the same process you use to edit your blog roll, which should be enough for most people to understand the process. If you need more help, keep reading.
For Traditional Blogspot (blogger):
Log on to your blog and click on the template button. Before going further, I would recommend that you copy all of the text in your current template, paste it into NotePad, and save a back-up just in case you have problems (which you probably won't, but an extra backup is never a bad idea). Next, scroll down through your template source code until you get to the bottom of the sidebar where your Blogger Buttom appears next to some text about how you need to keep that in your template as part of your user agreement. Directly after the image link, paste the source code. Then save your template and republish your blog.
For Blogger-Beta
Log on and go to your template page. On the sidebar, there is a button to add a new SideBar Module. When selected, it will ask you which kind, and you want HTML Code. Paste the code into the popup window and save it and the new module will be added. However, a new module usually ends up at the top of your sidebar, so click and drag the icon for the new module you created to the bottom of your sidebar modules and save your template.
I don't have the directions for other software such as wordpress or movable type or livejournal or myspace, but it should be the same process you use for your blogroll or adding content to your sidebar column (and I'm confident that if have any questions that you could post them in the comments and somebody will help you out).
Bonus Trick: For those you have tagging ability on your blog, if you add each Republican's name as a tag, your software will automatically create a page for each of them.
Bonus, Bonus, Trick: It is hard to have a blog and have not developed some online friendships with other bloggers of similar persuasions. Email them and ask them to join you in waging politics via the search engines.
