« General Failure | Main | Don't Kill the Messenger » February 11, 2004Google ItHobbsOnline is now #2 on the search results when you Google the phrase "Bush AWOL". In fact, 38.4 percent of my blog's visitors who click here from a search engine results page do so from the search phrase "Bush AWOL," and 51.1 percent of my blogs visitors who come here from a search page do so after searching for information related to Bush-haters' lie that President Bush was "AWOL" or a "deserter" from his Texas Air National Guard service during the Vietnam War. If you are one of the many fine bloggers who linked to my Was Bush AWOL? category, you've helped put it high in the search engines' results - and I have no doubt that because it is there, some people have come to my blog, read the information, and learned the truth about Bush's voluntary enlistment, completed commitment, and honorable discharge from the Guard. Thank you. Posted in Site News

Bill, you will be very intereseted in the following links. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040211/D80L23RO0.html An excerpt from this AP piece: Retired Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed, who commanded the 187th Tactical Recon Group in Montgomery, told The Associated Press in May 2000 that he did not recall Bush reporting for duty there. "To my knowledge, he never showed up," Turnipseed said then. On Tuesday, he told the AP that he was not sure whether he was even on the base during the time Bush was assigned there. Moreover, he said: "In 1972, I didn't even know he was supposed to come. I didn't know that until 2000. I'm not saying that he wasn't there. If he said he was there, I believe it. I don't remember seeing him." Also check out this Sun-Times article. http://www.suntimes.com/output/elect/cst-nws-banal11.html
If there has been any "upside" to the "Bush was AWOL" story for me, it is being reminded that the press rarely gets it "right" with stories involving the military. Tom Ricks, John Burns and Dana Priest typically do a good job; most of the rest are duffers who "google" their facts. Changing the page name in the title tag of your page to something a little more meaningful will help increase your google search and other directory ratings. Many of the crawlers used to create the indexes use the contents of the title tag over the descriptive meta-data. Maybe something like: "HobbsOnline - business, economy, taxes, politics, etc...". I think you're right though, that all the affiliated links to and from other high ranking pages are what really give you the boost. Google "lying sack of shit" and "cuckolded dyke". I've got plenty of Googlebombs up my sleeve to play when I need to. Posted by: Aaron's Rantblog at February 13, 2004 12:41 AMPost a comment
