Right. It seems logical, based on the information we have been receiving here, that a good way to counter the anti-Semitic site is to promote another site by visiting it frequently, as Joel suggests. We need to focus on just one site. And it's important that this site does not mention the name of the hate site for the reasons that have emerged clearly here. If we could organize an effort as efficacious as the one that was just organized to petition Google--but instead of petitioning Google, the point of it would be, simply, to point people to a site for Jews and others who are against hate to go--then we could use the algorithm to our advantage. What we need is basically a "neutral" Jewish site that makes no reference to this other site and is merely a stopping place where people can affirm their pro-semitism and help change the rankings. Of course the word "Jew" needs to be in the name of the site and within it. I do not think this is a "Google bomb," but if it is, then it seems to be the most legitimate and calm way of affecting the algorithm.
