Google Bombs Defused (for now ...)

In a recent post on Google's blog, they discussed an upgrade to their algorithm to minimize Google bombs. To those of you unfamiliar of Google bombs. Basically a Google bomb is an attempt by a large number of webmasters to influence the search rankings for a certain term.

The most talked about Google bomb to date is where thousands of website masters linked the keywords "miserable failure" up to George Bush. Finally, after two years the Bush Google bomb was recently defused in January. I am sure this is not the end of Google Bombs and just a temporary setback for webmasters interested in manipulating Google search results. I'll keep you posted in future postings on any other humorous/notable Google Bombs.
