So we all thought that the Google Bombs against our Commander and Chief were over. Well we were all mistaken. President Obama has not even crescent the White House thrown yet and has already been bombed by the blogger sphere.
I was on Twitter last week when someone posted the search results of the term “Failure”. We are all aware of what happened back in 2004 to our former Commander and Chief, he was Google bombed and decided to go and bomb Iraq; Google has denied any involvement in that invasion!
So what causes Google Bombs and why can’t they be stopped. The answer is simple; it’s in the ALGO. Unless Google makes some major changes to their algorithm, this will continue to happen. Now in all fairness, it does take a mass amount of users to complete a Google bomb, but, as we know, it is very much possible. On my birthday last year (Jan 25th) Matt Cutts gave his definition of Google bombs and Google’s solution to the problem.
We wanted to give a quick update about “Googlebombs.” By improving our analysis of the link structure of the web, Google has begun minimizing the impact of many Googlebombs. Now we will typically return commentary, discussions, and articles about the Googlebombs instead. The actual scale of this change is pretty small (there are under a hundred well-known Googlebombs), but if you’d like to get more details about this topic, read on.
