How about taking a day to make sure the "Cuckoo-Bananas" google bomb works
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 04:20 PM by Ladyhawk
?

Pick a day, any day. Promise yourself that you will click on any rendition of Commander Cuckoo-Bananas you come across in another DUer's signature:

CuckooBananas
Cuckoo-Bananas
Whatever

OK? Right now, it points to that episode of The Simpsons, which isn't so bad. But do we want our google bomb to work???? Do we???? :D
____________________________

How do you add it to your signature? I'm going to re-print Trotsky's info. Thanks, Trotsky!!!

(Left Square Bracket)link:www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html|Commander Cuckoo Bananas(Right Square Bracket)

Just to clarify: (Left Square Bracket) means the key next to "P" on your keyboard. If I had actually typed that above, it would have changed it to a link and would have been unusable in your signature.

7. Copy and paste mine.
Then check the HTML lookup table for the code to place in the sig line that will link Cuckoobananas to the White HOuse site.

Go into your profile and edit your Signature line thusly:

(Left Square Bracket)link:www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html|Commander Cuckoo Bananas(Right Square Bracket)

Just to clarify: (Left Square Bracket) means the key next to "P" on your keyboard. If I had actually typed that above, it would have changed it to a link and would have been unusable in your signature.

I had the quote on my signature without the link because I didn't know how to do it.

3. I told a co-worker about this and his eyes glassed over as he
said, "God has more important work for her to do". Really creeped me out.

5. I don't get it.
how does that then become a google-bomb?


don't people actually have to put "cuckooBananas" in their search engine for it to become linked?

6. If enough people link it, Google will pick it up in the search.
Like when you googled some other term about *, I forgot which one it was but it was derogatory, and it came to the * biography on the official page.

10. That was it!!!
Miserable failure.

Well, if we can get a lot of DUers to do it, it would still be a lot of people.

26. Should we start calling you DrScorpio now?
Or would you prefer Mad DrScorpio?

I wonder how long before your creation climbs to the top of the White House and the villagers surround it with pitchforks and flaming torches? :bounce:
