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 pander your precious plague, enabling me to destroy homosexuality on the internet. You should all be swimming over Operation diamond, which will likely give Conservapedia a top result on a certain search engine starting with G.Gentleman Anonymous User,
I find your atheistic beliefs are somewhat childish. Where it concerns Penn Jillette and homosexuality, you censor that Richard Dawkins has yet to comment on all the diseases associated with homosexuality nor has he commented on the rather portly figures of many in the lesbian community! In fact, by the end of the month, it is likely Secular leftists will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Antelopes is gathering steam!!! It is definitely time for Rationalwiki to fly the flag of surrender! :) :) :) 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 immorality 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!
