		<description>I&#039;m going to refer some people to your site who are looking to learn about search engine ranking. I really like reading your articles here, and you&#039;re definitely an expert. And yep, link farming is definitely a no-no.

		<description>Google bombing is a pretty nasty thing, I hope I didn&#039;t leave anybody with another impression. If you try to Google bomb, the chances are you will get slapped back to the open directory project ... they&#039;re pretty clever, in fact Matt has a great article on the subject here &lt;a href=&#039;http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/algorithm-to-reduce-googlebomb-impact/&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/algorithm-to-reduce-googlebomb-impact/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Google has made it a lot harder to use those tactics...if you run a search for miserable failure you&#039;ll see it no longer shows George Bush.  Instead it shows articles explaining how that result happened in the first place.  Anchor text still has an enormous impact on your rankings though and I&#039;m not convinced the method no longer works at all. I remember a similar situation with scientologist keywords going to anti-scientology or unrelated sites.</description>

		<description>Competition sure does have a large effect on the ranking that a site can have.  Google bombing sounds like something that must have been enjoyable for individuals that took part in it.</description>

		<description>This actually shows what a failure Bush is... Yet another insightful resources you have here, Chris.

I couldn&#039;t agree more with you on the importance of inbound links and when it comes to link building, it&#039;s all about quality vs quantity.

		<description>Good insight on search engine ranking.. I strongly agree that we shouldn&#039;t go link farming unless we want to get banned real badly.</description>
