The link to the Tell The Truth Coalition website has returned on Ron's blog, only this time with a new domain name (I'm not providing links in this post, sorry, as I don't want to increase the site's Google ranking).
Because I couldn't help myself, I did a whois on the new address.
Where the old web address was registered by Maraget Tighe of The Right to Life Australia Inc., the new registrant is Ron van Wegen himself.
I asked my hubby to have a look at tellthetruth.org.au when it first went offline and he said the domain name was still registered, it had just been turned off so that no one could access it (in non-geek speak).
Since the original domain name is still available, does that mean that Ron and Margaret have had a falling out over methods? It's possible. The public outrage caused by the use of US scare tactics in Australia might have made Margaret Tighe want to keep the Tell The Truth Coalition at a good distance from The Right to Life Australia Inc.
Also, one cannot help but notice that though Right to Life Australia has an ABN, the Tell The Truth coalition does not. Does this mean it is not a registered non-profit organisation? In other words, though Ron says the group consists of thousands of ordinary Australians, its possible that it could be what it looks like. Enough people to deliver a few thousand leaflets and a couple of bloggers.

You can use the nofollow attribute to prevent Google counting the link in its rankings. Not sure what html you know, but include rel="nofollow" in the anchor tag.
e.g., {a href="web-address" rel=nofollow}text{/a}
(using correct html, which I've not used in this example so it shows up as text rather than a link)
:-) I know every little html, so thank you!
I'll give it a go one day, I'm suppose to be thesis writing now though.
I figured that if people really really wanted see the new Tell The Truth website they could go via the Australian ProLife Conference website.
Cheers
