Break the link please.

Better?

[Fields]

You are closer.

Make it like this: h ttp://www.latimes.com/news/politics

If you keep it together and people just click it, then they know where the votes came from and they will just ignore it as spam voting.

[Thomas_DK]

Done!

Ron Paul at 9,4% now!

Nope, hehe - wish I was, but I am located in Denmark ;)

I can't vote at the election, so I do whatever I can to spread the word and keep the cheering up through the Internet.

Oh I only guessed since you cited the Times.

Nope, but I have been following your politics somewhat and I have been banging my head to the wall alot because of how Bush (and beyond) run the country. When I found out about Ron Paul I finally felt that something could be done. So here I am.

Break the link please.


Why do people always ask for the link to be broken? Please explain this to me because I don't see the purpose of it.

[jake]

of course, they use that odd format where at a glance it looks like Obama has Paul's current %

When the story is bad for Ron Paul, break the link. When it's good, keep it intact.

The reason is that Google increases the rank of internet pages based on how many links tie up to it. Popular pages on google have a lot of links to it from other pages. So if there is a bad story, you don't want it to become popular, which is why you break the link.

[affa]

i love how they put Obama immediately above Ron Paul so that it almost looks like Obama is still winning...

no, i don't love that.

[hyoomen]

Wow. Taking the poll over -- now if only we could get voters to follow the online polling trends.

[pacelli]

We've been dominating most online polls for months. Given how we've been doing in real polls (i.e. primaries), I don't see how one influences the other.
