I'm all in favor of the
attempt to help Google turn up a pro-Jewish site when someone searches for "Jew," as opposed to the hate site that currently is the first result. The irony is that a possible reason that a hate site is the first result is because some
anti-hate sites have linked to it, along the lines of, "Here's another hateful site that people should watch out for." (E.g., this
this site on internet hate, or this
syllabus for a course called "Nonsense in America.") That exposes a fault in Google, I suppose: It treats lots of links as a sign of
approval, when some people might be explicitly
disapproving the site in question.
