I have noticed that Ecomodder is well liked by Google. I first noticed this after my now
infamous and embarrassing ugly leaf thread. If I had known how far that would spread, I would have titled it differently. I wish the leaf well and I hope it succeeds. So I have been thinking about how to avoid this in the future.
As many of you know there are many misleading news stories, myths and bad "studies" out there that need debunking. I think we should use our thread titles and tags to help fix some of these.
An example of an poor thread title:
Study by EFG finds XYZ unsafe.
This title will actually just add fuel to the fire, repeating the bad news.
Better title:
Debunked: EFG Study that finds XYZ unsafe.
You get the idea.
Then the tags could be tweaked to get the thread higher up on the Google meter.
Just an idea that has been bouncing around in my head as an antidote to the dittoheads that pretend to be journalists.
