BBC News reports of Google bombing (often referred to as 'Google juice' by the infamous Crackmonkey subscribers). 'The users have found a way to "bomb" Google to improve the rankings of particular webpages, and ensure a site is near the top of the results for particular search phrases.' There is also the sport of Google Whacking affecting your search results."

    How can google whacking affect the results of searches? Oh no, the purity of my search for "orangeade sentient" will be ruined! (If this comment gets posted to a google searchable page, that will be a googlewackable phrase for a brief period of time. You don't even need the quotes.)

    Adult webmasters have been doing this for years. It's very cute that somebody who's in the business of developing straight web sites "just discovered" this. You people are a real hoot.
