I have seen a couple of comments/diaries recently about the [very successful] googlebombing campaign to link the search word "failure" with George W. Bush's White House biography. Bush's biography is the first item to turn up when you search "failure" with Google due to an effort launched by bloggers back in 2003.
Now that the Republican Party is riddled with fraud and corruption - Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, and Karl Rove/Plamegate being a few of many examples - we, the liberal communtity, need to help link the GOP with corruption. The mainstream media, with the exception of a few brave souls, has not called the Republicans out on their ethics crimes, so it is up to people like us to make sure the public knows the real story.
Please read on.
I am proposing that we launch a googlebombing campaign to make the Republican National Committee's website the top Google search result for "corruption". Think about it.
Anyone of Google's millions of visitors searching for "corruption" would have the RNC's website staring back at them.
Here is how we can do it. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of "googlebombing", Wikipedia has a thorough explanation of it. Basically, we need to create as many anchor tags as possible with the href target set to "http://www.rnc.org/ " with the link name set to "corruption". Since Google searches blogs like Daily Kos, the search engine's bots will pick up on the frequency with which "corruption" links to the RNC and will increase the RNC's page rank in a search for "corruption".
Does that sound complicated? In a way, it is, but you don't need to understand all of the stuff I explained in order to help out. All you need to do is create links somewhere that look like this:
corruption
Try to slip in links like the one above at the bottom of your diaries or especially in your post signature. This way, the link will be posted every time you reply in a thread.
Please take the time to help out and link the GOP with corruption. If you like this idea, please recommend and participate in the campaign. The goal is very achievable and this is a simple way to spread our message.
