Scientology vs. Anonymous - The Online Battle

“Visits to Scientology.org more than quadrupled in the month of January, with over 200,000 individuals visiting the site. Xenu.net also saw a bump in visitors, ending the month with a significant percentage increase, but still only managing less than half the traffic to the Scientology site.

This made me wonder if the Anonymous attacks may have backfired by generating new interest in the religion. Looking strictly at searches for the term “Scientology,” it’s possible that this is exactly what has happened.”

Long ago, I used to respect the veracity of the Wall Street Journal’s coverage, because it was mainly about numbers and money. That may still be the case, although I no longer read WSJ. It is really interesting to see a story about skepticism vs superstition covered as an SEO issue!
