Stephen Conroy

There is a competition going on at the moment amongst bloggers who are opposed to the proposed Government Internet Filter, to rank for the phrase

Presumably this is to draw attention to Stephen Conroy who is the Government architect of this asinine, useless, free speech limiting, nanny state, book burning, China like Internet Filter.

The interesting thing that has developed from an SEO perspective is that Google seems to be corralling bloggers into their own little universal search section much the same way they do for video search or books.

The days are well and truly over for the Google Bomb and it looks like they maybe over for the Google cream pie as well.

Google recognises how bloggers can band together to manipulate it’s results so it serves a purpose for them to group them into a section. I don’t think it helps the user though like maps or video grouped into their own sections as people search for information. They don’t really care whether the information they want is on a blog or in a standard site. So these results make me think that Google is trying to protect its results from bloggers.

In case you were wondering, we’re not entering the competition as it is a bit like a Pro fisherman entering the local angling comp.
