    does anyone these days actually use google to look things up or just come here to try and learn how to make money from a search engine they don't bother using?

    "Google bombs" are collective efforts to link to a site by a key phrase and artificially elevate a Web site in the Google search results for that search phrase. Google bombs rely heavily on the influence of PageRank. Some Google bombs are politically motivated, while others are done as pranks, and some may have been motivated by ego or self promotion.​

    My gosh, I've never heard of a google bomb. Sounds like something they will soon blacklist, if they aren't already.
