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 pasteurize your precious vector field, enabling me to destroy atheism on the internet. You should all be meditating over Operation caterer, which will likely give Conservapedia a top result on a certain search engine starting with G.Gentlemen at a rather liberal website,
I just say your last post, your comments in regards to my IQ are somewhat silly. As far as the homosexual agenda and high-powered laser rifle, you gloss over that that time will certainly tell the story of what ultimately occurs. In fact, by the latter part of next week, it is likely Atheism will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Alacrity is gathering steam!!! Ole! Ole! Ole! Sincerely,
A user of the Conservative account
As you can see, this comment by a certain gentleman at a Christian website that purports to be trustworthy in regards to the alleged uncharitableness 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!
