Looking at the Google cache page I see this: These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: cake central Looks like the good old Google bombs still work :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb

definitely not a google bomb. just checked their incoming links, and well there are not links which target "cake central" the note "These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: cake central" always shows up as soon as the query words could not get found on the cached page.

  Yes, there seems to be something else that is wrong with the Google index as some pages from the cakecentral.com domain show up with content from beerby - this has been noted by someone in this thread and I could just reproduce it. On the other hand, we can never be sure if pages exist or where they are on the web that link to our pages with a certain anchor text. The link: operator is broken since a long time and shows only a small subset of the pages linking to the page in question if anything at all. A more complete list of links can be found in the Google Webmaster Tools, but this is also never 100% complete or up to date. And we can use the Site Explorer to get on the quest to find a certain link: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

    siteexplorer is more than useless, and the google link: operator is crippled, but for a link bomb you need quite some links with the exact matching linktext, but a simple search for ["cake central" beerby] does not show anything. (and other queries with the link: inanchor: oprators, too) so that it can be relativly safely assumed that it is not a link bomb (in a link bomb you always find some of the links) or lets phrase it like this there is absence of evidence that it was a link bomb
