Any links to angrygwn.mu.nu are seen as to a different site because I've parked stevejanke.com on it. So to Google, each of these two sites are different and have, say, 200 links each, and are ranked accordingly. With a 301 redirect, Google treats the sites as the same, and credits the main site (stevejanke.com) with all the links from the other domain (angrygwn.mu.nu). Now with 400 inbound links, I zip up the rankings." “To search engine newbies, remember that Google ranking is, fundamentally, a function of the number of inbound links.

Yeah. I was thinking about including Geist but decided against it because it's a slippery slope. He's more of a topical blogger not a political blogger. That is to say that he only writes on politics as they relate to a single topic. As soon as I include him, then I ought to start including other topical bloggers. For example, the BaconEatingAtheistJew I linked to earlier in the post. He just writes about atheism - granted he's very political about it, but it's just one topic. I can be proved wrong of course, so if anyone wants to convince me that my logic is off on this they are very welcome to. Seriously. Thx. Yeah.
