He has hijacked Santorum's name and created a sexually oriented website that is the first search result for "Santorum," thanks to Google bombing - all in good fun, of course.
Savage also supports public outing of his political enemies, including the outing of an 18-year-old who worked on Tom Tancredo's campaign in 2007. All in good fun, of course.
Molotov Mitchell at Worldnet Daily, an avowed "Ron Paul guy," whose "second choice is "Rick - Santorum, that is," thought it might be a good idea to expose "the hollow life form known as Dan Savage."
"Dan Savage is the perfect representative for the gay lobby. A filth-spewing hate activist that claims same sex marriage is beautiful, but then actively brags to the New York Times how he cheats on his spouse. He's a miserable creature, Dan Savage, and in 2003, he went after Rick Santorum."All in good fun, of course.
This is really interesting. I just read about google bombing for the first time the other day and was thinking that it seems ridiculous that people would use this to sabotage for other companies just to increase their own Search Engine Optimization rankings using some kind of bogus. But after doing some more research on it, it seems more common than I thought. Hopefully google figures out a way to put an end to this black hat tool.
