hhavensteincw writes "A liberal the blogger has launched a 'Google bomb' project aimed at boosting Google search results for nine news articles showing Sen. John McCain in a negative light. Blogger Chris Bowers is enlisting the help of other bloggers to link to news articles varying from a story about McCain voting to filibuster a minimum wage hike to an item about the Senate passing an expanded GI bill despite opposition from McCain. When he began quest three weeks ago, none of the articles were in the top 100 search results for keyword searches "John McCain" and "McCain." Now, all nine are in the top 60 for "John McCain" searches and eight are in the top 60 for searches of "McCain." Bowers said, "Obviously, it is manipulating, but search engines are not public forums and unless you act to use them for your own benefit, your opponent's information is going to get out there.""
