Google Defuses Googlebombs

Posted by kdawson on from the French-military-victories-still-works dept.

John C. Worsley writes "Google announced today a modification to their search algorithm that minimizes well-known googlebombing exploits. Searches on 'miserable failure' and their ilk no longer bring up political targets. The Google blogger writes: '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.'"

    Whoops, that's right - you're all pathetic cry-babies who's greatest accomplishment was crapping in your pants and spreading it on the nursery room walls.
