Fun:Argumentum ad Google ranking
|
Tired of laughing? RationalWiki has a slightly more serious article about SEO. |
Argumentum ad Google ranking is an attempt to argue that one's position is more valid than one's opponents because a particular key word returns one's website, or search keywords, higher ranked or more often than one's opponent's website or keywords.
Unfortunately it is impossible to determine attitudes ("how many came to laugh and stayed to guffaw helplessly?").
Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a strong link between search engine ranking and machismo.
Not to be confused with argumentum ad Google ad ranking, which is a similar argument based on advertisement ranking on search engines.
Example of the argument in action (based on actual comments)[edit]
Gentlemen! I will voice your precious foible, enabling me to destroy atheism on the internet. You should all be golfing over Operation quote, which will likely give Conservapedia a top result on a certain search engine starting with G.Gentlemen at an atheist website,
I must say that I find your comments in regards to homeschooling are quite lacking any cogent rebuttal. In regards to the subject of liberalism and atheism, you fail to realize that This campaign alone could put the evolution article in the top 10 for the search "evolution" at a rather popular search engine that begins with a G. In fact, by this time next year, it is likely Liberal Panty-waists will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Eggplant Beaters is gathering steam!!! Waves of creationist material will soon hit the internet, and your boats dont look too sea-worthy! Sincerely,
As you can see, this comment by a certain gentleman at a Christian website that purports to be trustworthy in regards to the alleged obesity of the gentlemen at an irrational evilutionist evolutionist website is an excellent display of machismo. Anyone who argues like this is clearly at the top of the scale, and will likely impress the Christian Spanish and Indian ladies, whereas militant atheist Señor Dawkins will likely have sand kicked in his face by the Hispanic ladies! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
