Revision as of 21:59, 2 August 2003 by 213.48.62.69 (talk) (Requested article)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Googlebomb is an attempt to influence the ranking of a given site in results returned by google. Due to the way that google's saearch algorithm works a website will be ranked higher if the sites that link to a page all use consistent text. For example if your register lots of domains and all of them link to the main site with the text "... is a living legend" then searching for "living legend" on google will return the main site high in the ranking.
A common means of exploiting this is through weblogs, which although the entry may disappear from the main page quickly, the short term effects of a link can dramatically effect the ranking of a given site.
