Kerry gets served up with 'waffles' (THIS IS FUNNY)

USA Today ^ | 4-11-04 | Mark Memmott

Some jokers who don't like the Democratic presidential candidate are trying to make his campaign Web site, johnkerry.com, the first answer to a search of the word "waffles" on Google, the No. 1 Internet search engine.

They've nearly succeeded on the No. 2 search engine, Yahoo. By Sunday, eight days after the prank began, johnkerry.com was listed second among 703,000 results of a Yahoo search of the word "waffles."

At the No. 3 search engine, MSN Search, johnkerry.com was also the second Web page result of a search Sunday for "waffles."

On Google, johnkerry.com was not in the top 1,000 of the 556,000 results of a search for "waffles."

Authorities on search engines say the joke's quick impact on Yahoo and MSN, though, is a sign that the campaign is working and that Google will be affected soon.

Some jokers...

Where was the author's outrage when pranksters tried to link a search for Bush under "miserable failure?"

[quantim]

A resounding #36 on Dogpile!  Note #35.

[truthandlife]

We can only excerpt USA Today articles. If you read the rest of the article the author of the article does talk about the "Bush miserable failure" prank also.

[Defender2]

Fitting!!!!



Happy Easter, truthandlife, D2

[weegee]

Did someone say ketchup and waffles? Yuck!!!

I wonder how the search engines do with flip flops?

[weegee]

Miserable failure started to bring up some matches that Big Media didn't approve of.

[JohnBDay]

Make sure those waffles are covered with Howard Dean Vermont Maple Syrup.

My first response to your post was that it needed to be slowed down. Then I remembered him switching positions in one sentence and I figured you got it right.

See...anyone can waffle. It's easy. Try it, you'll like it!

Glenn Beck's site offers John Kerry's Waffle House T-Shirts...not to mention I Love (Heart) Halliburton T-shirts.

"Waffles, we must all have waffles forthwith."

Line from the movie the Lady Killers.

Waffles Like this.

[Lady Jag]

Same here. I tried him at a half dozen speeds before picking this one and decided he'd be at spinning speed.

From the site:

"John has a bold, new vision for America. An America safe from foreign threats and greedy special interests. John has the experience and plans to lead America to better jobs, quality health care, energy that is clean, renewable, and independent, and greater opportunities for our children."

He forgot world peace in there!

[wingster]

If he really wants to do all that, then he'll withdraw from the race!

[NotQuiteCricket]

waffles like that?

Where was the author's outrage when pranksters tried to link a search for Bush under "miserable failure?"

If you don't know the answer, I feel sorry for you. The answer is: One is the truth(waffle) and the other is a hateful lie (failure). period

That looks so homey that Kerry should stay home.

I want one of those t-shirts.

[need_a_screen_name]

Bump.

Anyone else want to post waffle links?? lol

[1Old Pro]

Funny.....but it works both ways.......

Yep, I just did a search for "meat and potatoes" and got the Bush Cheney site :)

Yes it works both ways and a liberal blogger used a similar gimmick to tie the search phrase "miserable failure" to GWB's presidential webpage.

Let's freep Kerry by helping push this google bomb to move his campaign webpage to the top of the search listings on waffles.

Kerry gets served up with 'waffles'

waffles

flip-flops

[VRWCmember]

Not a zot! I just thought y'all might find this interesting. Please help push John Kerry's campaign website to the top of the search list on "waffles".

All you need to do is post a link to his webpage using an "a href" code.

waffles

flip-flops

The html code is as follows: < a href="http://www.johnkerry.com">waffles< /a> (without the spaces of course)

I'm also trying to help him show up on a search on flip-flops as well.

[secret garden]

It will be even better when he is linked to LOSER!

[nuconvert]

Thanks

Cool.

[RiVer19]

I setup my (freebe) web page with a ton of these links and submitted it to Google.

Then I thought I would check with a search. Did a Google search on waffles. Guess what site pops up as #1 now? hehe...

Not that my contribution helped. That was too fast. But, it's currently the #1 site returned for waffles.

I've never seen the John Kerry campaign site come up #1 when searching for waffles.

The closest I've seen to anything like that is the Slate/MS-NBC article which was coming up #1 but now is slipping.

The Slate article mentioned that it should take about a week to propagate to the top but I see no such signs.

A USA Today article on this task is also highly ranked.

Google's website says that they will eliminate some cites from the search engine if they are being unfairly manipulated to boost ranking. I know of no such internal effort to stop miserable failure from ranking specific sites highly.

Then again, Google News considers Democratic Underground to be an actual "news" source. Leftist hate speech rules at Google.

[MrB]

This puzzles me at #3 on the yahoo search for "waffles":

Bozzy's World / powered by midgets with wings

[MrB]

many times, Google searches have yielded FR posts as sources, so I don't think Google is inherently "biased".

In fact, unless you're searching for a very recent posting, Google is a good search engine to find things within FR.
