How funny, if you type the title of a Labour List post into Google, the prettier looking Labourist comes first and second with poor old Dolly's "website for millions" in third.
Probably something to do with lots of 'insignificant' blogs with high ranking authority linking to them instead of Dolly.
UPDATE: Bless his cotton socks, one of Labour List's writers, Tom Miller, has posted a "rebuttal" to this post. He notes that if a web user takes the time to click the "pages from the UK" button on Google UK Labour List is top. Problem is, most people don't do that initially.

I tried this and it came second from last on the second page!
I'll stop laughing soon..
I wonder how his hits are going. I refuse to visit. Just the odd nip over tp lABOURhOME WHEN i NEED A SNOOZE!
Oh, this is priceless, Dizzy. I'm beginning to wonder whether you have a cruel streak!
As a further dig, a reminder of Draper's hubris?
"We are aiming at hundreds of thousands of Labour-minded people"
"we launch on the 12th February to an entire country of potential readers"
"I am aiming for the mass market where, to all intents and purposes you all don't exist."
"I will be building an online community of Labour-minded people - thousands of them."
You've got to stop this now, Dizzy, it's too much, the tears are rolling down my face!!
God forbid Draper is stupid enough to send you another E-mail.
I'm hope you are not trying to encourage other bloggers to engage in nefarious "google bombing" to maintain this situation.
;)
I've just linked my blog to labourist!!! (in white of course)
yawn
No doubt Dolly will now indulge in a programme of link farming to fix his ranking
Dizzy!
Just thought I'd gooogle LabourList & see what happened ;o)
The first, did you mean, search result made me smile!
lol . . . bravo!! Get what you pay for I guess!!
Well, the original List does appear to have been somewhat listless…
I particularly like "we launch on the 12th February to an entire country of potential readers"
If Labour's record on education is anything to go by there aren't many Labour supporters who can read.
Oh you mean like this ?
Ops - never mind Dolly's going to have his hands full with a new child on the way. So that should cheer him up.
Yes, but of course, Dolly won't care about something like this will he? He's said so.
Dolly's busy beating up Fraser over at the Coffeehouse too, what a total sap this guy is.
If this is the best Labour can come up with in the blogosphere, then they are well and truely stuffed. Looks like Tory bloggers rule in cyberspace afterall. Also, Labourspace - yet another website for the Champagne socialist toffee nosed brigade...
8 min vid asking, what will it take.

Mr England - ROTFLOL - absolutely priceless.

Labour mided is, surely, an oxymoron.
