Argumentum ad Google ranking is an attempt to argue that one's position is more valid than one's opponents because a particular key word returns one's website, or search keywords, higher ranked or more often than one's opponent's website or keywords.

Unfortunately it is impossible to determine attitudes ("how many came to laugh and stayed to guffaw helplessly?").

Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a strong link between search engine ranking and machismo.

Not to be confused with argumentum ad Google ad ranking, which is a similar argument based on advertisement ranking on search engines.

Example of the argument in action (based on actual comments)[edit]

Gentlemen! I will graphitize your precious queen, enabling me to destroy atheism on the internet. You should all be toasting over Operation pencil, which will likely give Conservapedia a top result on a certain search engine starting with G.

Get off the Titanic. The SS RationalWiki is going down. Global atheism/agnosticism and Western atheism/agnosticism will shrink in the 21st century!

I found your comments in regards to Machismo are slightly irrational. As per Darwin and Alzheimer’s Disease, you foolishly disregard the simple fact that Richard Dawkins is assisting in the Theory of evolution article at Conservapedia. In fact, by my birthday, it is likely the pearl-clutching pansies at RationalWiki will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)

Rest assured, Operation Charging Stallion is gathering steam!!! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sincerely,

A user of the Conservative account

As you can see, this comment by a certain gentleman at a Christian website that purports to be trustworthy in regards to the alleged obesity of the gentlemen at an irrational evilutionist evolutionist website is an excellent display of machismo. Anyone who argues like this is clearly at the top of the scale, and will likely impress the Christian Spanish and Indian ladies, whereas militant atheist Señor Dawkins will likely have sand kicked in his face by the Hispanic ladies! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
