So google has finally changed their algorithm somehow to remove Googlebombs. I wonder which approach they chose. Maybe they require the search term to actually occur on the destination page?

Anyway, I wonder if we could now do the opposite - rank down pages by Googlebombing them. I wonder if we could e.g. all setup links to Windows (microsoft.com) and maybe even mention the word “Googlebomb”, and Google will think we’re trying to Googlebomb Microsoft this way? So at the end maybe the Wikipedia article becomes hit #1? That would be cool.

P.S. Ever noticed that Google blocks lynx and wget by their user-agent string? (well, I get error 400 with lynx, which might be different, but I can use the –user-agent option of wget to bypass their filter, so at least that filter exists and is kind of pointless…)
