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. http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?si d=03/09/03/2211236&mode=nested&tid=126&tid=164&tid =185&tid=95&threshold=-1
Lession for today: Screw the system (esp. the good system) and be screwed by its supporters.
