Skippy hits a new low of immaturity and pettiness as he urges us to Google Bomb journalist-seer Bill O’Reilly. I love Bill O’Reilly and urge none of you to participate in this childish prank. Ignore Skippy’s advice. Pass this post on to everyone you know and tell them to ignore it, too.
here’s an excellent idea…in light of bill o’reilly’s latest comments on how al qaeda should blow up san francisco…why not google bomb him as a terrorist sympathizer?
after all, his words make him a terrorist sympathizer. anyone who encourages a terrorist act is a terrorist sympathizer. and we don’t condone any terrorist sympathizer making statements like that on american airwaves. no terrorist sympathizer for us!
damn that terrorist sympathizer!
Now, just because a scholarly journalist implies he’d be happy to see San Francisco bombed by Al Qaeda that hardly makes him a terrorist sympathizer, does it?
(Oh, and for those of you unfamiliar with the art of the google bomb and the havoc it can wreak, my favorite example is what those godless leftists did to gay-hater Rick Santorum. Just type “Santorum” into google and hit “I Feel Lucky.” It’s even funnier than its predecessor, “miserable failure.”)

I’m pretty sure it’s trick people play that takes advantage of the way Google calculates its search rankings.
For example, if you make a link to Bill O’Reilly’s website, using the text “terrorist sympathizer” as the thing one would need to click to arrive at Bill O’Reilly’s website, Google will understand a relationship between the words “terrorist sympathizer” and Bill O’Reilly’s website. Google assumes that the text people use as a link is closely related to the link’s ultimate destination.
The end result of thousands of people making tons of links to Bill O’Reilly’s site using the words “terrorist sympathizer” is that when you search Google for the term “terrorist sympathizer“, the first search result will be a link to Bill O’Reilly’s website. Also, if you click on “I’m Feeling Lucky” after entering “terrorist sympathizer” in the search box, you would automatically be taken to Bill O’Reilly’s Website

Would O’Reilly like San Francisco better if it was 100 percent full of HETEROsexual perverts who make harassing phone calls, like him?

So what your saying is that if you say something on the web often enough Google will believe that it is true, and that if you type Terrorist sympathiser in to a search engine it will return Bill Orilley?
Maybe I should start google bombing my own URL alongside some choice phrases.

i run a site that archives googlebombs. i’m going to add this one to it.
i’d love it if you came over and took a look to see if there are any other bombs you’d be interested in putting up.
i also run an anti-bill o’reilly blog. thanks for the bomb.
