  3. Google Bombing for Good at shorty114.net Says:

    [...] Recently there’s been quite a bit of talk on “Google bombing”, where you link to a certain site on a bunch of different sites to elevate its status in the search results for a certain term. Apparently martinlutherking.org, whom I shall not link to, has done this and made their dishonoring site at the top of the search results for “martin luther king.” But someone had the idea to use this against them, and Google bomb the proper results back in there. It’s an interesting concept. [via] [...]

  8. Bloggers for Martin Luther King » The Cartoon Blog by Dave Walker Says:

    Repeating what I’ve repeated elsewhere (my blog, the Digg page, the Tuttle SVC blog, etc):

    For those that think this violates marthinlutherkingdotorg’s free speech rights, I posit the theory that it can’t possibly reach first page at Google without Google-bombing itself. Either that, or it really is true that The Stormfront White Nationalist Community really is more representative of mainstream White thinking in America. Which I sincerely doubt.
