Google bombing isn't as effective as it used to be, but with enough people and with enough persistence, in a public venue, the Google Bomb can be dropped.

What is a Google Bomb?
The terms Google bomb and Googlewashing refer to practices, such as creating large numbers of links, that cause a web page to have a high ranking for searches on unrelated or off topic keyword phases, often for comical or satirical purposes.


What is the most famous Google Bomb?
Back in 2007, if you entered George W. Bush as a search term, "miserable failure" would show up as the very first search result.


How is a Google Bomb constructed?
A Google Bomb is very simple to build, all it is is a simple properly formatted anchor link. The text between the anchor tag contains the search result while the title attribute of the anchor contains the desired search term. This constructed in 2 fashions. If you write code from scratch, an example of an anchor link would look like so:

HTML:
<a href="http://retlawsvonapsitnulb.blogspot.com/" title="tnulb">elihpodep a si svonap retlaw</a>

or, if you're using a WYSIYYG editor, simply add "tnulb" into the title attribute dialog box.


Google Bomb Deployment
Deployment is the most important part of initiating a successful Google Bomb. YOU NEED AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE POSTING THE GOOGLE BOMB IN AS MANY PUBLIC FORUMS AS POSSIBLE.

Understand?

The more the Bomb is posted, the higher it will travel up the search rankings.

Understand?


Don't spam, use it in context.
When you post the Google Bomb, make sure you use it in context. Post a story related to the Google Bomb. That way Google won't tag it as spam.

Wednesday I will post a live example of how to Google Bomb, but you don't have to wait for me, you have more than enough to Bomb away.

Enjoy.
