The Google Bomb Lives – Link Building – Search Engine Optimization
Just how powerful is putting keywords in links? Well, lets discuss the Google bomb.

I’m going to show you a couple pages that rank very well for keywords that don’t even appear in the pages. How could that be possible? It’s all in the power of linking. First search Yahoo! And MSN Live Search for the term miserable failure. The page that appears first (at least at the time of writing 11-09-08) in both cases is www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html, George Bush’s bio page on the White House Web Site.

This was done by a small group of people using links in blog pages. Despite the fact that this page contains neither miserable, nor failure, and certainly not miserable failure, a few dozen links with the words miserable failure in the link text were enough to trick the major search engines.

This is known as a Googlebomb, and in fact, it used to work on Google, too, until Google bowed to criticism (after a couple of years) and changed some things to ensure to ensure that the President’s page no longer appeared in the search results. But Yahoo! And MSN/Live Search did not make this change – this particular Googlebomb, paradoxically, only works on Yahoo! And MSN/Live.

I’m not sure what Google did to remove the George Bush result. They say that they “came up with an algorithm that minimizes the impact of many Googlebombs.” Nevertheless, they didn’t completely throw out the concept of using keywords in links to tell them what the site is about. In fact their statement suggests just that. They “minimized” the impact of “many Googlebombs;” they didn’t completely stop them.

They most likely applied an algorithm that says something like, “If we see x number of links of type y pointing to the site using keywords that don’t appear in the site, then ignore the links.”

In any case though the fact is the basic principle behind Google bombing remains valid: putting keywords in links tells search engines what a referenced site is about, and the more links with keywords the better.

I often have clients ask me why a competitor ranks so well, also stating, “Their pages aren’t better optimized? Is it because it has more content? Because the content is better optimized? Because the site has more incoming links? The last of these factors is often essential; when I do a link analysis I often discover that the poorly optimized, yet highly ranked, site has a huge number of incoming links, with just the right keywords.

**TIP** Here’s the ideal combination for links and the pages they point to: The keywords in the link match the keywords for which the referenced page is optimized.

Basic Rules About Links – Search Engine Optimization
You know that links are valuable and can help boost your position in the search engines. But, what sorts of links? Let me quickly summarize:

Links from sites related to yours are often more valuable than links from unrelated sites. (Because the relevancy software is almost certainly imprecise, this isn’t always the case.)

Links from pages with a high page rank are much more valuable than from pages with a low PageRank unless you can achieve tons of traffic through the low pagerank site.

Virtually all-incoming links to your site have some kind of value, even if the pages have a very low pagerank or are not contextual. It may not be much of a value, but it’s there.

The more outgoing links on a page that has a link pointing to your site, the lower the value of the link to your site. This is because the vote is being shared. Thus in some cases, a link from a low-pagerank page with no other links my actually be more valuable than a link from a high-PageRank page with many links.

Links are even more valuable when they include keywords because keywords tell search engines what the referenced site is about.

A link strategy that positions your site as an authority, or hub, in a Web communities or neighborhood can be a powerful way to get the attention of the search engines.

Even internal links – links from page to page within your site – are valuable because the keywords in the links tell the search engines what the referenced page is about!

Let me tell you a true story about how I made tons of money through free offline marketing and advertisement!

All right I owned an Internet based business that specialized in pet related website design mainly for breeders of different types of dogs and cats. I optimized my website fully and had first page search engine listings for every researched keyword that would bring me traffic! I made tons of sales but I wanted more!

So what did I do? I didn’t want to spend any money! Just to see if I could get away with %100 free marketing and advertisement could make me a hefty profit and… instead I had to buy paper, ink, and cards!!

First I made business cards that read “Inexpensive Pet Website Design” and I also made hundreds of brochures that explained what I did and how cheap I would do it! Then I walked right into every vet office I could find and asked them if I could leave my business cards on their counter! To my surprise they said, SURE!

So I then asked if I could but my brochure on there pin up wall and again they said, SURE! So I was set! But I didn’t stop there; in fact I went to hundreds of businesses like Petco and other feed/pet supply companies and %90 of them allowed me to leave my cards!

I made more sales using that tactic than I did with my Internet marketing hands down!

So every time I would notice someone selling dogs or cats on the street I would stop and tell them that I could make them tons of money through creating an online website to sell their puppies! The next time they had a litter they were able to stay at home and make way more money through online sales and referred me to their friends and family!

Now I have become an all around marketer and advertiser! Anywhere I see an opportunity I take full advantage and go all out to make thousands of dollars every week!
