Bloggers, you have a job to do

• OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY • OBEY •

We need to get the NCSE’s counter-site to the hideous little propaganda film, Expelled, to rank higher in the search engines. The way to do this is for lots and lots of you to link to the Expelled Exposed site with the word Expelled. It’s not hard: just copy this code into a blog post.

<a href="http://expelledexposed.com/"><i>Expelled</i></a>

Whenever you write about the movie, use that link. Do it a bunch of times, if you want. It’s more effective if many people use the same link every time, though, than for one person to be repetitive.

    Actually, I don’t know why we don’t just suppress everything about ID and Expelled. We have the courts, the media, and education all on the side of suppression, so I can’t help but think our Inquisitors are simply a bunch of hopeless slackasses.

    I wish there was more science on the site. It would be nice if there was a big “Evidence for Evolution” link. Let’s all hope that Expelled is a miserable failure.

  8. says

    To those lamenting the lack of info on the site: They say at the top that they will be posting a full review on April 15. I assume (and hope) it will become more informative and complete at that time.

  9. DavidONE says

    PZ,

    Not good advice. Thousands of people linking to a website with identical text will very likely trigger a ‘Google bomb’ flag and have the very opposite effect that is hoped for.

    Much better that people link with a variety of linking text.

  11. Roger Scott says

    I seem to have led a privileged life. I’ve never seen Ben Stein on TV, movies etc other than the stills relating to what is clearly a ridiculous film. Eugenie Scott? The famous, beautiful anthropologist who sticks it to people like Stein, first heard of her years ago! Thanks to her for Expelled Exposed.

    I think you might appreciate this webcomic, today’s Overcompensating by Jeffrey Rowland:

    Go to the main page and scroll down a little.

    So how do you post the raw HTML so it doesn’t render like this:

    Expelled?

    What’s the trick?

    Use the HTML codes instead of < and >. < is & l t ; without the spaces, and > is & g t ;. (Short for “less than” and “greater than”.)

    Does Richard Dawkins command me to do this? Because we all know he’s the atheist pope. Well, you are surely a highly respected cardinal at least, so your wish is my command. (Not that anyone reads my blog, but as I just posted referencing Expelled, I figured why not?)

  23. amk says

    I believe using the “nofollow” attribute on links, as scienceblogs does automatically, will cause Googlebot to ignore that link. So we can link to Expelled!’s own site without helping their pagerank.

  28. Amplexus says

    Ben Stein’s three claims to fame are:
    1.A 2 minute role as a teacher in a film 25 years ago
    2.Being a speech writer for the worst president ever (and yes I’m counting W.Bush and U.S. grant)
    3. A game show on comedy central

    And now this nifty travesty Expelled

  29. says

    Does it help if people google the word expelled, and then sift through the pages to click on the exposed expelled page?

    It’s currently on the 6th page in this search.

    Why not just wait until April 20th, when the nation’s film critics cause the film’s website to rank higher with the search terms “content-free ass-headed wankfest” than with the word “expelled”.

  34. says

    It is the Evolutionist’s cowardly fears of the TRUTH that makes this moment so delectable. Ben Stein is a Rock! HIS strength brings the Unbelievers’ lies into the light. May God bless, B.S.!

    All atheistic attacks against Ben Stein and Expelled – a humble man with Ein stein’s intellect adrift in a modern world of sin – are artless hacks.

    Copyright infringement is such a weak case. Who – after all – designed the cell? Who gave Harvard permission to copy the cell’s design and to put it on video? Did they pray over it? Were one to start on PAGE ONE, eventually one would understand. No copyrights apply to HIS works.

    A Google bomb? Is that the best the vaunted avenger of atheism can mount? (If only Jesus were his sidekick…)

    Rush Limbaugh continually advertises for the movie. PZ Myers – sir, you are no Rush Limbaugh!! What good is a google bomb against the towering intellect of Rush Limbaugh? He could defeat any of the weak arguments of Neo-Darwinian Post-Objectified Evolutionism with half his brain firmly tied behind his back.

    The TRUTH is on the side of the Righteous, but it is not too late to see the light! God is LOVE. One can still accept JESUS Christ – it is not too late to abandon the selfish willfulness of intellect and desire.

    Peace to you.

  43. says

    This is an excellent idea. however, from a Search Engnine optimization perspective these people need to make http://expelledexposed.com/ 301 redirect to http://www.expelledexposed.com/ or vice versa. if you have the www and non-www version splitting the inbound links you will dilute the quality of these inbound links. if you make one version 301 redirect to the other, all links pointing to either version will stack up and count towards a single ranking.

    Jesus sure helped Rush get out of a bit of trouble a little while back. But that hardly compares to the his save of Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly’s career in broadcasting. Somebody must have really been lookin’ out for him.

    It’s good for IDists to have role models like Limbaugh and O’Reilly to look up to.

    2.Being a speech writer for the worst president ever (and yes I’m counting W.Bush and U.S. grant)

    Oh man, come on. Bush is a lot worse than Nixon. Tricky Dick was evil, but he was competent. Rather than evil and incompetent, the worst of both worlds. It’s not exactly Nixon’s fault he was President at the one time in our nation’s history when we had both a) the press had some icojones and b) a Democratic party with spine when in the majority of both houses of Congress.

    Huh, having looked at the guy’s website it’s entirely possible that I’m a victim of Poe’s Law…

All your invoking of your non-existent god will do you no good! You are an idiot and you will remain an idiot until evolution deems it necessary to remove you from the gene pool. Let’s see this shit god of yours; come on bring it down and prevent us from wiping you and your sleaze retards from your cesspool postings. Not only is your god imaginary and useless, your only recourse is to commit suicide and remove yourselves from the gene pool and save our evolution from morphing you into shit to add to your shit god.

    The Doctor: This is madness. The Daleks won’t thank you for capturing me, they’ll kill you.

    I’m pretty sure he is doing parody, but subtly enough (including his ID sig) that he almost passes for an IDist.

    He’s a bit too slick, a bit too open about ID, to be real, IMO.

  70. Eric says

    I ran a google adwords campaign for a while, but I stopped after 100 dollars was spent. I was linking to the expelledexposed.com site and using the keywords ‘expelled’, ‘expelled the movie’, ‘expelled ben stein’, and ‘pz myers’ (because some used those to link to the expelled movie website).

  71. Alex says

    “…”I never imagined the expelled idiots could be this unethical.”

    I think it’s time that everyone to stop being so surprised by those who wave their “belief flags” being deceitful and manipulative. Their overwhelming confidence that their beliefs are right gives them all the authority they need to break every one of their precious ten commandments. They are mindless zombies without compassion or empathy who will stop at nothing to attack those who question the reality of their pathetic world-view.

    “There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not real, he becomes furious when they are disputed.” [Bertrand Russell, “Human Society in Ethics and Politics”]

    Ah, making a post out of this made my mind spit out the best description of religion in Finland I’ve found so far. Namely,

    “I have a tiny worrisome feeling that there could a creationist or, good Richard, maybe even two, in Finland, but it’s hard to say since here religion is a bit like syphilis: If you got it, you don’t flaunt it. Except in your support group, I guess.”

  74. Eric says

    OK, I put $50 more dollars in (but that’s probably the end).

    It should show up if you google any of those terms (expelled, expelled movie, expelled the movie, pz myers, etc).

    Please don’t click on the ad though… that costs me 10 cents per click (impressions are free)

    Let those dimes go to people who are googling, looking for the official site for the movie.

  75. says

    I! Obey! *said in my best dalek voice*

    Damn it, my weird Cthulhu-themed blog is turning way too serious… I’m going to have to start a new one just so I can rant at stupid people.

  77. Dutch Delight says

    The NCSE *is* big science?

    That explains a lot, they seem to have a particular hatred for the NCSE, they pre-expelled Barbara Forrest from seeing the movie as well. I guess PZ, Dawkins and other contenders can stop pretending, the creationists have found the true leader of the Darwinist conspiracy! They must’ve been pretty flippin’ upset when they found out they couldn’t send Ben Stein around for another interview because she found out that Mark Mathis was being dishonest.

    I guess they are still hurting from Barbara’s role in the Dover case, apparently their main argument for questioning that case nowadays is another Discovery institute lie (something about 92% of the decision being copied from the ACLU (lie #1) and pretending that this would be a abnormal or a bad thing (lie #2)).

    It’s actually more effective if you link to it with more than just “expelled” as your link term. After all, “Expelled” is not the only search term people use. I get tons and tons of people that were searching for “expelled reviews” for instance. And Expelled Exposed is now finally high on that results list.

  92. says

    Anyone with a WordPress Blog… you can use the “Linked” plugin to set a keyword “Expelled” to the Expelled Exposed site… that way, every instance of the word “Expelled” on your blog will become a link to the GOOD site.

    LOL, Mark ‘IDIoT’ Witt!!! The tell for me, though, was the spelling. You’re too good to be a real creotard. You also need more exclamation marks.

  110. says

    Um… Don’t the links put here in the comments have some sort of google code that prevents it from indexing that link… something along the lines of rel=”nofollow”…

    So linking from the comments here doesn’t do anything to get expelledexposed any additional exposure. I think we’re supposed to be adding that link on our own web sites. Mine has had the link for a couple of weeks – for all the good it does since google probably doesn’t index my site (I do a vanity search now and again – my page doesn’t come up, yet – though I have put it in the submissions queue).

  121. says

    An even better method: Put it in your site’s blogroll (if you have one visible)

    Also, giving the link it’s full title “Expelled Exposed” should rank it up for the keyword “expelled” and “exposed”, and hopefully avoid the Google bomb detector going off :P

  122. jsn says

    I thought everyone realised Mark Witt was Swiftian-esque from several threads ago. He is very dry, nothing but “nudge, nudge, wink, wink”. Clever stuff if you aren’t overly reactionary or more partial to broader humor. It’s hard to parody Creobots with a straight face, but Mark seems to have his tongue planted firmly in his cheek.

    I have to agree, though, with the suggestions that the Expelled Exposed site could be much more welcoming to visitors – many of whom, especially if this link campaign has effect, will simply be looking for info on the movie and may know nothing of the hubbub over it.

    It’d be great to see the Expelled Exposed site lead off with a big, clear statement: “Here’s what the Expelled movie claims, here’s why it’s outrageously wrong, and here’s why you should join us in protesting it. See links below for much more info.” Short and sweet.

    The type of buzz “Expelled” has encountered, more than likely it will be a success in the documentary realm. The long awaited excitement of this film comes out this Friday…Well perhaps not to evolutionists…lol I’m waiting in excitement for NASA’s Messenger spacecraft, which is due to fly past Mercury next January which should give more detail about the planet. The 30 year mystery question for evolutionists, How does the solar system’s innermost planet maintain a magnetic field?

  153. Kseniya says

    How does the solar system’s innermost planet maintain a magnetic field?

    That question illustrates quite a lot about your understanding of evolution.

    And this reviewer says, “an animated illustration of the inner workings of a cell offers a striking visual argument in favor of “irreducible complexity”.” I wonder if he openly wept at the site of that piece of stolen animation.

  167. says

    I might not mind this ID movie so much were it not for glaring omissions in what is now widely believed to be true about ID. Many who have studied ID and believe it to be true, also believe that the Designer got bored toward the end. At that point, the design aspect kind of went out the window. In fact, it is a widely held belief that the Designer just kind of pulled e-coli out of her ass.

    You blogger types may want to look into Vote Links (my friend Jeremy uses Richard Dawkins and the Institute of Creation Research as resources you may wish to vote for and against respectively).

Not only will this apparently help the Google rank, but an update at the top of the page might also help direct the (no doubt many) people who find their way to the PZ-Expelled page either through Google or through the many links dealing with the earlier hubbub.

    I did my part. I run a mail server that mostly just does e-mail for some of my friends. The front web page is really just a link to the web mail interface. But the link to Expelled Exposed is up there, even though my site gets like 10 visits a day.

  174. says

    Sorry for doubleposting. I put this comment in the next thread instead of here.

    To spruce up your Expelled Exposed link, use an image to create the link: img src=”http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/front_graphics/expelled-exposed-banner-140.jpg

    You’ll need to enclose that snippet with angle brackets (bra and ket in QM lingo), then add the link code around it.

    Shoot me an email if you need pointers. I can’t enter the exact code here.

    PZ’s EXPELLED! post now contains links to expelledexposed.com, which is now one place behind it.

    OMG, I love this guy!

    Re: #65

    You tell him! If there’s one thing we can’t stand for on a blog devoted to critical thining, it’s people who spout off without scrutinizing the evidence!

    “I’ll do the thinnin’ around here, and doooon’t you fergit IT!”

    Who says a non-science blog is dull? Consider Ben Stein Expelled.

    And Mark Witt – WWJD about the unloving quality of your comment, eh? Methinks there would be another “Sermon on the Mount” that would include the admonition not to shove one’s head up one’s ass and to get moving in dislodging that plank in your orbit. Jesus told damn good stories, and here’s a word to look up – parable.

  183. says

    Done.

    Re: the (reference-free) comment #179: Google rejiggered its algorithms to make bombing harder, but it still works pretty well. I’ve seen it work this year. Still, dsmvwld, I’m sure we’d all be thrilled if you could, you know, send us a copy of the memo..

    (shrugs) Let’s do the experiment anyway. Expelled Exposed was at around position #17 when I saw this post last night, and it will take a couple of days for all of the new links to be registered by the spiders/crawlers/whatever — my prediction is that rank will be improved dramatically by Friday.

  189. says

    I had thought “nofollow” might be a good way to acknowledge unsavory or stupid sites like Conservapaedia or Timecube without giving them linkage, but apparently it only works for blog comments, not for top level blog posts or standard html pages.
    However, I’m happy to include a link to IDiot wankfest Expelled

  197. says

    Someone asked and I haven’t seen the answer (sorry if I missed it while scrolling down): does it help if we google “expelled” and click on the NCSE link?

  198. says

    I just I can’t wait to see Expelled!!!!!
    bombed the SHIT outta godtube.com!!! lmao

    WOW, Mr. Post 54,
    I think you need anger management classes – or a little prozac. Calm down, man. You blog like a fearful, cornered animal – an indication of your limited progress along the path of evolution, I suspect. Have a “nice” mutation for your offspring’s sake ……….

  200. John H says

    I’ve read the blogs here with some great amazement. Most exhibit the religious zeal of an Appalachian snake handler or a Voodoo priest. What are you so afraid of? You have legitimate viewpoints to express, so why resort to tactics that are not worthy of even an emotional 13 year old girl? Some of your blogs make you sound like the totalitarian haters of the Third Reich. Again, what are you so afraid of?

  201. wazza says

    John, what are you on about? You repeat the baseles accusations of a poorly made piece of propaganda. Why? Because you can’t be bothered to absorb the facts.

    And if we’ve fallen to ridicule and name-calling, it’s because of people like you, who haven’t even bothered to learn about what they’re criticising.

    Well, dsmvwld, for some weird reason, Expelled Exposed now appears as the eighth link on the first page of a Google search on “Expelled”. Must be divine influence.

    It appears as the 14th one for me.

    Congratulations, nitwits. You’re taking down your own website in an impotent attempt at googlebombing. That takes a lot of talent. Wait, no. Not talent. It takes a lot of nincompoopery.

    hehe… yeah driving traffic to a website is a HORRIBLE idea.

    dork.

    Posted by: Steve_C

    Yeah, you’re right. When websites experience serious technical problems because some morons are mindlessly linking to them in an impotent attempt at the now-defunct practice of googlebombing, that’s a good thing!

  212. Kseniya says

    I guess that would be “Kseniya Exposed.”

    Oh for god’s sake – it was a joke! (And quit peeking in my window!)

    I don’t think “safe search” has any effect on websearch anyway… just image search. Therein lies the absurdity.

    Image search + “exposed” + unexplained_num_of_hits + implication_of_no_filtering = hahaha? Silly and utterly harmless quip? Perhaps a hair too subtle?

  213. Kseniya says

    Oh, BTW and FWIW, “expelledexposed” came up eighth in my search, too. My list is the same as yours (dsmv), except for “exposed” showing up on my list between the IMDB entry and the Science and Society entry… Dunno why it would be different. I’ve never visited the “exposed” site.

    Hey, I guess this could be called “PZ Myers’ Mindless Goons Exposed.”

  228. Kseniya says

    I don’t get it… the post you quoted is still here. Which posts are you referring to?

  230. Carlie says

    It’s up to #5! #4 is PZ’s original post on being kicked out of the movie. I can’t take credit for the idea, but one of my friends is now using the link as her facebook status, so I switched mine too. Might get a few more hits that way!

  231. Will Von Wizzlepig says

    Hmmm, #5? When I googled it just now, it’s 10th. not bad… I want to see it #1… I put it up on my blog.

    :D

    Oh Noes! The glass is full once more:

    Expelled

    We’ve failed. We can’t even take down our own sites properly. Drat, ID wins again. It’s just an unending string of victories for those guys….

    Yes, well, good luck with that. You seem to have forgotten to do it here though, so I fixed them.
