Due to the way that Google&#8217;s PageRank algorithm works, a page will be ranked higher if the sites that link to that page all use consistent anchor text. A Google bomb is created if a large number of sites link to the page in this manner. Google bomb is used both as a verb and a noun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Google bombing is also why you see stupid non-sensical comments advertising all sorts of naughty things (you know, sex, drugs and not too often rock n&#8217; roll) on my site almost daily.  These are known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrisdiclerico.com\/2004\/10\/13\/open-letter-to-baby-jesus\/\">comment spam<\/a> and they have forced me scrub my site daily which annoys me to no end.  All comment spammers should die a painful death followed by spending an eternity in hell.   Wow.  I went dark there for a minute didn&#8217;t I?  Speaking of dark, I wonder which government agency picked up this post because of the title.  Maybe there is now a file on me.
