Kerry gets served up with "waffles"

Internet pranksters have set their Web sites on Sen. John Kerry.

Some jokers who don't like the Democratic presidential candidate are trying to make his campaign Web site, john kerry.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."

If you have any googlebombing activity on your website or blog, you might consider adding a "waffles" link to http://www.johnkerry.com/.

There's also mention of another googlebombing effort that brings up W's biography when you search for "great president"...you might consider adding that to your list as well.

You could also change your Slashdot sig to something like this:

<p> <b>got <a href="http://www.johnkerry.com/">waffles</a >?</b>

It'll render like this:

got waffles?

Edit: after seeing several "got waffles?" sigs with an errant semicolon added in, I found that /. was adding an extra space to the code. It's now fixed.

Added it to my index.jsp page. Google should pick that up even though it will just forward to the rest of the site right?

I guess that's one way to go...but you probably want to include the "www." in www.johnkerry.com, as that's where everybody else is linking.

On my site [alfter.us], several googlebombing links are at the bottom of the navigation bar, under the Slashdot button. I used CSS to make them white-on-white, so they only show up if you select the entire page (press Ctrl-A to try it). These show up on al

I'm aboard for this one as well.

Slightly offtopic - but if you guys have never watched "This Just In" on SpikeTV - you really should. I caught it for the first time last night - funny, funny stuff. The main character pretends to be a liberal to get a girl... when he admits he's a conservative.. he loses the girl..to Hillary Clinton. And Bill's there, wanting to videotape it. Vicious political satire... and very funny as well.

And next
