Google Bombs

But how did they work anyways? Just add various meta-tags that had nothing to do with the site?

I am very new to SEO in general, and don't really know how to boost my ranking there anyways,lol. So learning older methods would help out a lot.

To answer your question. If there is a word say "apple" and people specify a certain hyperlink to the word say www.yahoo.com . Google considers it as a vote from a website for that term. i.e. apple would show up on the search results. If enough websites do it repeatedly. yahoo may show up on the first page when someone types in apple.
This technique has been used by several bloggers and organized groups of people to link words like "Miserable Failure" to bush etc. Such a thing is called a google bomb.

However google has been actively cracking down on such bombs. Google has since improved its code so that when a person hyper links a certain word to a certain website. Google actually trys to check if the word appears on the site etc.

yeah cool man
its nice disscussion
so plz can any 1 tell me how to start a new discussion

Do you mean start a new topic? You click the 'newtopic' button in a forum near the top right..

google is used today by many people and what is that thing google bomb? it was my first time to hear it but it seems to be dangerous for google company

LOL,should we explain that much times?Read the topic from the start...For example i add the word "akira" on my website.And lets say that word akira is in the list of Google bombs.And,when Google will index my webpage it will see the word akira on my page and it will make the link of my website on Google to be first.So on the simplest way,Google bombs are things that make your website more popular - to be first on Google search results.But i am not sure how much from these are working now.That is not Google's fault,but Google should take care a little to make this bombs not working,because it is not fear somebody to pay to get first on Google,somebody to use Google bomb,and be first on Google results.Yes,you are right this is a little dangerous for Google but it can be fixed.
