    from old news, the GW Bush miserable failure issue

    http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/google.asp

    Craig Silverstein, Google's director for technology on Miserable Failure -
    "the company sees nothing wrong with the public using its search engine this way. No user is hurt, he said, because there is no clearly legitimate site for "miserable failure" being pushed aside."

    Does this mean if i am the first person to discover a new niche i can google bomb as much as i like and i wont get penalized?
    Could you imagine promoting you new niche "organic breast implants" and being allowed to spam googles index, you would be reported for spamming for sure, but since there is no site actually selling organic breast implants then by their owns words you would be allowed to continue.

    If there is a updated google opinion on this then i would love to hear it, otherwise the above stands.

    There has been when they made alterations to the algo to combat this, something along the lines of "We take attempts to manipulate our index seriously and have put measures in place to prevent such GoogleBombs".

    If I get some vegetable scraps from the bin and pop them in the blender, you can organise the GoogleBomb. :)
