Ready for this?
The mid-interview melt-down and almost disturbing Boris Johnson interview was DEFINITELY going to be picked up all across social media because her pretty much had a full-on "moment".
Due to all the reaction around it however, Google searches for "Boris bus" now return THIS interview and not the whole "let's give the EU money to the NHS" bus.
Clever SEO advice?
We'll never know, but this is where the rabbit hole begins.
With people talking about it being an SEO trick, it's getting even more traction... round and round we go.
“24 hours ago, if you Googled “Boris Bus” or checked out a #BorisBus hashtag you’d get the photo of him in front of the bus with the “We give £350m per week to the EU, Let’s spend that on the NHS” lie on it. Now you get this:”

The lies will be blamed on the EU, everyone who voted brexit will lap it up

True dat.
It's bad enough that all of the meeja seem to think that people on twitter are important enough to be quoted on every single fucking story, now we've got to put up with the same cunts in what was previously a safe(ish) space.
Where will this evil end? Trump tweets posted on the board every time he has a brainfart? Instagram links to pictures of cats eating slugs? Will we be having a youtube makeup tutorial thursday? If so, I'll be using makeup, but not on my face. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! (like and subscribe etc)

If I wanted to know what was going on on Twitter, I’d visit Twitter. Or the BBC News.

So keeping up with the shit show that is UK politics is even harder than usual, but even taking that into account...
What the shuddering fuck are you banging on about? Has your tinfoil hat slipped off or something?

ignoring the twitter link
This blog entry was highlighted by a uk politics journalist yesterday. Basically, speculation that recent comments by a candidate for leader of the conservative party might have been intended to skew search engine results away from decisions/activities in their past.

David Cameron's pig story must be an SEO cover up
of a much worse incident involving a pig

even though it wasn't there's no harm in concocting such a story and spreading the rumour for research is there?

not sure what the worse version would be, involving piglets perhaps?

Not convinced that the SEO impact would have been the #1 priority, even though it's plausible
