Because he has the time and leisure to do this, at least in part thanks to being gainfully employed as the producer of the website of one Boris Johnson. If you have a website and want to join in demonstrating to Mr. Gilligan how the internet works, please do link to Tim’s piece. Thanks. We now return you to the usual cut-and-paste sniping at Boris, or whatever Gilligan thinks we do here.

I spend my time following Boris’s au pair around Sainsburys to see which breakfast cereal she’s buying, of course.
I feel I should point out that I am not particularly spoiled for time, it takes quite a lot to really annoy me, and Boris Johnson only got a mention in ‘Ailing Standards’ as a declaration of interest (I was trying to set a good example for that nice Mr Gilligan).
Cheers
For the proposed ‘Google bomb’ to work for the search term ‘andrew gilligan’ it’s best to link to Tim’s article using those words as the link text. We shall be doing just that, but it’s worth pointing this out to others too.
Just a link if you like it is fine, LM. Google-Bombs are so last Tuesday.
To quote Bloggerheads:
“- Link to this post, so I may hope to one day soon be a top search result for ‘andrew gilligan’”
So the intention is to Google bomb the phrase ‘andrew gilligan’ and my advice as to how to do this stands!
I shall, as I said, do this (tomorrow). Hats off to all concerned by the way.
Google Bombing primarily describes the practice of making something the top search result or a phrase regardless of the target page’s actual relevance.
A link to a site or post that is actually relevant is more akin to a vote or endorsement. Keyword-weighting the link is surplus to requirements.
Cheers.
Let’s take stock of where we are – first page of Google search for ‘Andrew Gilligan’ returns:
1) Wikipedia
2) Evening [Low Journalistic] Standard
3) BBC
4) Guardian (first hit: Adam’s piece, impressively)
5) Independent
6) Parliament
7) Tom Watson
Bloggerheads is at 8, first hit on the second page. Whoever set up Tom Watson’s site is obviously doing a good job, eh?
Oh, yes. I don’t muck around:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mp
And Bloggerheads is climbing, up from 15th-16th early yesterday.
When I searched, before I wrote about it all, Bloggerheads was #11, but it’s now above Tom Watson. Happy to help.
Its like watching a Shakespearean tragedy unfold. More more
