How many websites does it take a Guildford Liberal Democrat to win an election?

The answer is about a dozen, and that doesn’t include party supporters with their own sites. That’s a lot of duplication in spreading the same message, you might say, a bit of a waste of money. Well, some of them have a green theme, others a women's’ theme and three of them belong to Guildford Liberal Democrats’ Sue Doughty PPC, but yes, all of them say much the same thing. But it’s not a waste, I can tell you. All those interlinking sites, all making each other look very important to the search engines. Even when you search for the Guildford Tory site, on Google you get the Guildford Liberal Democrats mentioned on page 2. The local Tories have tried to address the disparity in web presence, but unfortunately Labour….haven’t. For now, this is not so significant, but at the next General Election, it will be. The lesson to Labour and the Tories is simple: sort it.


The Liberal Democrats. They’re all over the place.
