Is Julie Moult an idiot? That’s the question concerned bloggers are asking today after Daily Mail ‘journalist’ Julie Moult wrongly accused the mighty Beau Bo d’Or of ‘googlebombing’ (without understanding in the slightest what ‘googlebombs’ are or how they work despite, and this is the kicker, having it explained to her by people from Google). This isn’t the first time Julie Moult has let the facts get in the way of a story, as Tim points out.

As a kindly way of showing Julie Moult just how Google actually works, it was Tim’s idea to put himself and others in the top ten Google results for ‘Julie Moult’ and to demonstrate how quickly it can be done. Hopefully soon, this blog post will rank highly for searches for ‘Julie Moult’. The image at the top should eventually feature in the Google Image searches for ‘Julie Moult’.

If you’d like to join the fun, just follow Tim’s simple instruction…

Step One - Create an image featuring the words “Julie Moult is an idiot” (or “Julie Moult is not an idiot, but instead a much-misunderstood campaigner for truth and a very nice person once you get to know her”).

Step Two - Include the words ‘julie’ and ‘moult’ in the filename for your image.

Step Three - Publish it on your website or weblog in a post explaining what it is and why it’s there (including, if you like, these steps and a link back to this article).

Step Four (optional) - If you really mean business, put her name in your article title and maybe even drop in some ‘ALT’ or ‘Title’ goodness for your image.

:: Please keep in mind that Julie Moult might be willing and able to sue you if she can prove that she isn’t an idiot (though I’m quietly confident that this won’t be a problem).

:: You may also wish to include a picture/glimpse of yourself in your image so Julie is certain that real people, not invisible Google pixies, lurk behind the eventual results.

Notable search results will be posted [on Tim's blog] as soon as they start appearing, and a prize will be awarded for the best relevant performance in Google Images (not including mine).

Good luck to you all. I hope to see you in the top row soon.
