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. The actual scale of this change is pretty small (there are under a hundred well-known Googlebombs), but if you'd like to get more details about this topic, read on.<br /><br />First off, let's back up and give some background. Unless you read all about search engines all day, you might wonder "What is a Googlebomb?" Technically, a "Googlebomb" (sometimes called a "linkbomb" since they're not specific to Google) refers to a prank where people attempt to cause someone else's site to rank for an obscure or meaningless query. Googlebombs very rarely happen for common queries, because the lack of any relevant results for that phrase is part of why a Googlebomb can work. One of the earliest Googlebombs was for the phrase "talentless hack," for example.<br /><br />People have asked about how we feel about Googlebombs, and we have talked about them <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/googlebombing-failure.html">in the past</a>. Because these pranks are normally for phrases that are well off the beaten path, they haven't been a very high priority for us. But over time, we've seen more people assume that they are Google's opinion, or that Google has hand-coded the results for these Googlebombed queries. That's not true, and it seemed like it was worth trying to correct that misperception. So a few of us who work here got together and came up with an algorithm that minimizes the impact of many Googlebombs.<br /><br />The next natural question to ask is "Why doesn't Google just edit these search results by hand?" To answer that, you need to know a little bit about how Google works. When we're faced with a bad search result or a relevance problem, our first instinct is to look for an automatic way to solve the problem instead of trying to fix a particular search by hand. Algorithms are great because they scale well: computers can process lots of data very fast, and robust algorithms often work well in many different languages. That's what we did in this case, and the extra effort to find a good algorithm helps detect Googlebombs in many different languages. We wouldn't claim that this change handles every prank that someone has attempted. But if you are aware of other potential Googlebombs, we are happy to hear feedback in our <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Web_Search_Help">Google Web Search Help Group</a>.<br /><br />Again, the impact of this new algorithm is very limited in scope and impact, but we hope that the affected queries are more relevant for searchers. <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> Co-written with Ryan Moulton and Kendra Carattini<br /><br />We wanted to give a quick update about "Googlebombs."

We had a great year building communication with you, the webmaster community, and creating tools based on your feedback. Many on the team were able to come out to conferences and met some of you in person, and we're looking forward to meeting many more of you in 2007. We've also had great conversations and gotten valuable feedback in our <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help" title="discussion forum">discussion forum</a>, and we hope this blog has been helpful in providing information to you.<br /><br />We said goodbye to the <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/10/useful-information-you-may-have-missed.html" title="Sitemaps blog">Sitemaps blog</a> and launched this broader blog in August.

Many on the team were able to come out to conferences and met some of you in person, and we're looking forward to meeting many more of you in 2007. We've also had great conversations and gotten valuable feedback in our <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help" title="discussion forum">discussion forum</a>, and we hope this blog has been helpful in providing information to you.<br /><br />We said goodbye to the <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/10/useful-information-you-may-have-missed.html" title="Sitemaps blog">Sitemaps blog</a> and launched this broader blog in August.
