5. I have heard very little about SBV since May
But I don't go looking. I agree that the RW has done pretty well so far in terms of stuffing search engine (SEO) tactics. Someone got an mass email about a guy who claims to have been a chef at Windows on the World. When I plugged the name in on Google I got 3 pages of results all pointing to various RW websites with the whole screed re-posted. Here is the kicker, whoever wrote the screed did so before the 911 commission published their report but the writer(s) spin what they claim the report says. So it seems they clearly got this out to their minions and got it ranked on search engines IN ADVANCE of the report they were going to spin.

Another area they are strong in is stuffing online polls. There was a contest between two people I know and a freeper to stuff an online poll. After letting us get a 2,000 vote lead, he stuffed 10,000 votes in about 3 minutes. (He was using a modified version of a web testing tool called "WebStress").

Would love to have a major search engine that is left-leaning. As for online polls -- No one should ever put faith in them.
