Strange things
The last refuge of the blogger with nothing to post about is to tell you about the funny search terms that led visitors to their site. Well, unsuprisingly people come here to look for teenage pregnancy info, father4justice, abortion and the west wing season 7. But, looking at my stats just now, it seems someone also came here looking for “socialist wankers party” - for which I am the second result in Google after the BNP’s Redwatch site, thanks to a comment not written by me. So far, so not funny - except that the fourth result in Google for “socialist wankers party” is conservatives.com. Now how did that happen?
The answer’s in the small print of the search.
These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: socialist wankers
Basically people have been creating links to the site and using those terms as the label, often to influence a search for those terms. One of the best known ones is Miserable failure which first brings up the official White House biography of George W. Bush.
Sometimes this is done as a joke, though others do try to boost the chances of a particular site to come up, especially when it’s newly established or an ancient site is causing problems.
See Google bomb on Wikipedia for more on this.
The BNP dont own Redwatch
