Googlebombing For Alaa

June 12, 2006 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

On May 7, Egyptian blogger Alaa Abd El-Fatah (علاء أحمد سيف الإسلام عبدالفتاح) was arrested there during a protest. As part of the world-wide response, several other bloggers have have created the Free Alaa blog to chronicle his ongoing detention and legal troubles.

You may have noticed that I didn’t link to the Free Alaa blog through its name. That’s because I’m joining with a lot of other bloggers to try to Googlebomb Egypt. That is, we’re all trying to game the Google search engine so that the Free Alaa blog appears as one of the top hits for the word “Egypt“.

You can join in simply by linking to the Free Alaa blog using “Egypt” as the link text. I was doing it throughout the last couple of paragraphs, but you can also do a standalone link like this:

Egypt.

It’s really easy.

Egypt.

Please join in if you are so inclined. It only takes one link from a page to help a lot.

Egypt.

Of course, if you want to make more than one link, that’s okay too.

Egypt Egypt Egypt.

In fact, go wild.

Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt Egypt.

So there.

Update: Marathon Pundit joins in and points out something else:

And for those people living in the Chicago area, or thinking of traveling here to see the King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum, keep in mind, about half of the admission to the special exhibit goes straight to the Egyptian government–the same government, that locked up Alaa for participating in a peaceful protest.
