It's nice to see that an Internet search will bring up many more sites
that are interested in exposing the truth about Jehovah's Witnesses
than spreading their propaganda. However, the official WTS site comes
up first in Google and other search engines. I only know a little bit
about search engine optimization, but I'm wondering if it would be
possible to bump them from that position. I know they have vast
resources to help insure good search results, but since they
discourage their members from using the Internet they probably can't
count on many incoming links from members. We may be able to outdo
them in this regard. Perhaps people that are more knowledgeable than
I am can comment on whether this is a battle worth fighting or if it's
hopeless. Their Authorized Site of the Office of Public Information of
Jehovah's Witnesses comes up fifth. I'm sure we can get some more
objective sites to get listed ahead of it if we pay more attention to
linking practices

Yeah, but we're second! All things considered, that ain't bad at all.

I just did another Google search for Jehovah's Witnesses and discovered that their official website now comes up second after this one http://www.carm.org/witnesses.htm I guess this partially answers my questions. It gives me hope. I plan on starting some blogs and I hope that I can help other sites outrank the WTS site by linking to them.

Technology creeps me out, but you have a good idea.

Who cares if the official website comes up first or second? If someone puts a word in the search engine surely they've got some "leftover" branin cells to try more than one or two of the search results?

Shouldn't be to difficult to bump them with a Google bomb. Their page rank is 6/10 with 1840 backward links and JWD is 0/10 with 58 backward links.
Come on JWD'ers link your site JWD....
