I wonder what Blog Net News’ influence rankings would have to say about this?
Short version: Linking over and over again to a specific blog posts is a quick way to up your Google rating. It’s called “Google bombing” and though the tactic is quite old, it’s relevancy is in decline as Google continues to refine it’s methodology.
Dems used it quite effectively in 2006. Is it any surprise that the handful of SWAC bloggers learned the ropes?
UPDATE: Yankee Phil hits back on the critique that SWAC bloggers might be “splogs”:
It is perfectly clear that Swacgirl is not an “artificially created” web site. It is a site dedicated to the things in life that Swacgirl enjoys. She has lots of political stuff, but she has beautiful pictures of Augusta County. She has photo displays of the many events she attends. There is not one drop of “artificial” there.
Fair point.
Nice (spam) video, Yankee (spam) Phil!
