The End Of The Googlebomb

A Googlebomb is a campaign that causes a particular Web page to rank first in the Google results list based on specific keywords. The first Google bomb was unleashed in 1999, which caused the Microsoft home page to rank first for the key words 'more evil than Satan himself.' Another famous Google bomb in 2004 produced a biography page of George W. Bush as number one for the keywords 'miserable failure.'

Google now has developed an algorithm that helps them detect Googlebombs in many different languages. Although Google does not claim that this change handles every prank that someone has attempted.
