Googlebombing is known to everyone who is involved in SEO. Practically, this is just a spam-version of massive linking to one or another domain with a particular keyword in the anchor-text. Nothing special, huh?

Well, it could be just like “recommendation” of one site by others, but it is just from the first glance. Google has learned how to differentiate quality web-sites from real scam that links to your web-site with tons of links.

A nice example of this google-bombing is the following: the official home page of George Bush was the first result on Google for the search term “miserable failure” for many months. Just like a massive flash-mob!

At the moment official Google claims that it has an algo that won’t allow this to happen anymore!

“These pranks are normally for phrases that are well off the beaten path, they haven’t been a very high priority for us. But over time, we’ve seen more people assume that they are Google’s opinion, or that Google has hand-coded the results for these Googlebombed queries. […]
So a few of us who work here got together and came up with an algorithm that minimizes the impact of many Googlebombs.”

Hope that won’t affect Globalwarming awareness2007
