Re: Think you guys supplied enough links?
said by Lost in Space:
Your one paragraph lead for this story has six links alone. If you go to each of them they pull up a page that offers another gaggle of links. There must nearly 40 or 50 links to this story.
The reason that typing "scientology" in a Google search always brings up a, well, a google of links to the Official Church of Scientology, and virtually none to critical sites: the official site links to several dozen other sites on different domain names, which all link back to the official site and to each other. All the sites are shills for the church.
This cleverly exploits Google's "democratic process" of ranking sites by the number of links from other sites. The number of these nepotistic links far outnumbers the number of links to and from critical sites, which tend to be independent. So the critical sites tend to appear somewhat further south in the list.
For the "DLSR Staff Dudes" to create a similar "link nest" was subtle poerty in motion, a great inside joke. Bravo. |
