I was just wondering if Trap 17 members would be interested in working on creating a new 'Google Bomb'? If enough people join in, then it is very easy to do.

We could work out what it would be and what it could lead too later, if enough people are interested.

You don't have to be hosted with Trap 17 - you just need to have a web page that is crawled by Google. If your site isn't in their database, then you can get it added here.

Let me know your thoughts.

what would we do?

Im intrested...

what exactly do u mean by a "google bomb"???

Whats a good bomb? im lost :S:S

I'm puzzled as to what this Google Bomb entails. When I saw this topic I thought it was for something malicious to attack Google, but then I thought, why would you post this on a forum like this? It obviously means something that isn't as malicious as it sounds, am I right?

Please explain more...

A 'Google Bomb' is where a network of sites work to try and get a certain search phrase directed to one particular site.

Examples of these include:

• miserable failure
• waffles
• end of the internet
• talentless hack

And a host of others.

It basically comes together by exploiting the way in which the Google search engine works. If you link to a certain site with some certain words, then when Google crawls your web page, it will use those words to point to the linked page rather than an actual URL. If enough sites do this, then the pages 'ranking' will rise in Google, until it eventually reaches the top. Clicking on the 'I'm feeling lucky' button on the Google web site takes you directly to the first result found, so only being on the top makes this really work.

Putting together a Google Bomb here would involve a number of people who have their web sites crawled by Google putting a link on their web page, texted with whatever word or phrase gets decided upon. It will only make it to the top if everyone uses the same words and links.

'Google Bomb' is just the term made up by the person who originally figured out how to exploit Google in this manner. You can read more about it here (or by searching for 'talentless hack').

Google Bombs are in no way malicious (unless they are taking a stab at someone personally), nor are they illegal.

thank z for explaining it i was scared for a second that someone wanted to end google. it sounds easy enough, could you write a tutorial on how to or send a link to one please?

My participation all depends on your intention. What are you trying to get at the top of the google search? I mean, if I like it and it's within Trap's TOS, then I'll consider it.
