THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY
actually this has nothing to do with ask.com’s viral campaign, which for the record i think is messed up, But more on the lines that Google openly said that it had fixed googlebombing, I guess they didn’t : THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY I’m seeing http://xkcd.com/ at ~1 for Their homepage, but here is the really Story…
http://blag.xkcd.com/2007/04/19/billboards/
There’s some strange text on billboards around New York. I passed these four this weekend:
THE ALGORITHM CONSTANTLY FINDS JESUS
THE ALGORITHM KILLED JEEVES
THE ALGORITHM IS BANNED IN CHINA
THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY
and final xkcd wrote ….
For those of you who have blogs or other sites, feel free to create links to xkcd.com with those billboard lines as the link text. I put the phrases at the bottom of xkcd.com so it won’t be filtered out as a Googlebomb.

http://www.webmasterwords.comI’m not sure whats worse,
1) coming up with a marketing campaign which few members of the public will actually understand.
2) letting some completely unrelated site steal all the traffic.

Hehe,
I noticed that a while ago, that Google’s super-magic-secret anti-googlebomb filtering seemed be be “check the page has stuff like the anchor text” on it
I love kxcd

That’s not really Google Bombing. Just SEO combined with link baiting and other acquisition to pirate an ill conceived viral campaign.
On the other hand, Google Bombing definitely still works!
