Slashdot Google Bombers?

muirhead asks: "As a proud new dad, I made a web site to share some baby photos. Having seen this article about Google Bombing, I gave it a go and posted comments to Slashdot, Newsforge, Kuro5hin and LinuxWorld. Some of the pages have a high enough PageRank to show up as links into my site. Now, there are quite a few phrases that I can tell folk to google, and know my site will show top of the list. My favourites are Ruby Orange and Mutley Sleeps, but of course, I want more. What other free sites and means do you know of that I can use to further increase the visibility of my website?"

I would like to point you to this story on slashdot, a popular technology news site, posted by the author of the website above. It discribes how he abused the page-rank system in order to have his page score high on unrelated searches.

Lession for today: Screw the system (esp. the good system) and be screwed by its supporters.

How did this ever make the frontpage of Slashdot? Thanks for helping screw up the one decent search engine, jackass.

This isn't Google bombing

[Shiifty]

Google bombing is a co-ordinated attack to increase rankings, usually by blogging. It requires many different sites. Simply posting comments to websites with your website in your .sig or something isn't 'bombing'. Try posting your website to relevant Usenet groups to increase exposure. http://groups.google.com
