What is even happening?

I don't see how the number of hits can factor in, since this is information that Google wouldn't have.

I am not sure if that's what I meant or not. I just meant googling Wonderfalls, and on the google page, then selecting every page that isn't ours. Wouldn't google know what we select from their own site? Regardless, now that you've explained the stuff above, I can see it would be like a tear drop in the ocean.

There's an effort underway to GoogleBomb the current #1 hit for jew, and although it seems lots of people are participating, nothing yet.

For "jew"? To what end, do you know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am not sure if that's what I meant or not.

That was to Sue, actually.

To what end, do you know?

Try the search. You'll see.

I thnk I was confused about the part where page ranking gives more weight to the link. I knew there was something about popularity.

Please tell me the GoogleBombing is to remove the number one hit, not reinforce it.

It is. The antisemitic site, jewwatch dot com, has been the highest rank for about 3 years. Someone finally made this known publicly about a month ago, and they are now trying to push the Wikipedia page for Jew higher by putting a link to it under the word Jew on as many web pages as possible.

jewfaq.org is already number 2. It is a very good, informative site (sort of Judiasm 101). Are people trying to push that one up, too?

I don't know. I'm guessing the Wiki entry is probably a page that has broader appeal because it's simply an encyclopedic entry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

So, for the WF spoiler thread title, are we doing Pig Latin or Lovesick, my Ass?

Our wings are not tired.

Still love the pig latin.

I saw a definite pig latin consensus.
