What Did Google Do About The Google Bomb Problem?
Last Thursday, Google decided to do something against Google bombs: “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.” That means that most Google bombs shouldn’t work anymore. The new algorithm is probably an extension of the algorithm that detects unnatural linking patterns.
