Apparently Google have added a new algorithm that will prevent Google bombing happening again.
According to Google’s webmaster blog, ”By improving our analysis of the link structure of the web, Google has begun minimizing the impact of many Googlebombs. Now we will typically return commentary, discussions, and articles about the Googlebombs instead. The actual scale of this change is pretty small (there are under a hundred well-known Googlebombs)”
The reason they have added this to their mighty search system, is apparently because people were beginning to think that these bombs were Google’s opinions.
I wonder what sort of impact this will have on the generic search results? Time will tell….
