Dot Tactics

So it seams bloggers are getting back at comment spammers by linking popular terms to helpful resources such as Wikipedia. Read the full details here.

For the record, a google bomb is the act of linking the same search term (online marketing for example) to the same url and putting that link on as many web pages as possible. If enough web pages (personal sites, blogs, etc) join the bomb then the website will get a page rank bounce and may end up at the top of the results.

Probably the most famous example is the search term miserable failure which currently has three results that do not even contain the term, but have been bombed to the top so as to make political statements.
