Smart Bitches, Trashy books has decided to "google bomb" amazon based on their removal of erotica and GLBT books from the rankings (and therefore search engines). Search google for "amazon rank" and you get them talking of the issue rather than amazon. Heehee. The more we clink on their site, the higher it goes in google ranking. (Yes, they removed straight erotica as well, but left the dog fight stuff and Playboy.)

A PR fight is on. And we got the anti-censorship librarians on our side.
