Death of the Google Bomb

• Harkins 18y ago
  In case you're wondering how on Earth this is possibly news, it's because Google just hosted a training session for journalists at their DC offices yesterday. Showed them Google sites and tools that could help them in their jobs, answered a few questions. Many were surprised to hear that Googlebombing no longer worked. (I know this because my gf attended.)

  "We are far more perceptive when it comes to these link swarms that show up in a matter of hours or days" With a little planning I'm sure it would be possible to regulate the link swarm over a period of a couple months to pass under the radar.
