Google Bomb

Google 炸彈﹗?
根據 wikipedia 的解釋﹕
A Google bomb or Googlewash is Internet slang for a certain kind of attempt to influence the ranking (called PageRank) of a given page in results returned by the Google search engine, often with humorous or political intentions. Because of the way that Google’s algorithm works, a page will be ranked higher if the sites that link to that page use consistent anchor text. A Google bomb is created if a large number of sites link to the page in this manner. Google bomb is used both as a verb and a noun. The phrase “Google bombing” was introduced to the New Oxford American Dictionary in May 2005.
原來連 Oxford 字典也有收錄 “Google bombing”,事情是由於看到一則台灣東森網上新聞,提到台灣有人利用 Google Bomb,把「無能無恥」與陳水扁的簡介連在一起﹐在美國也有人把 failure and miserable failure 與 George W. Bush 連在一起﹐當有人在 Google 打入 failure, miserable failure, George W. Bush 的 Link就會出現在第一位,因有很多人在網頁上或 Blog 上加入連結。
但網上新聞卻寫﹕
有網路駭客設計了個網路炸彈程式,只要在搜尋網站上打「無能無恥」,就會連結到總統府網站
這位記者﹐如果你想寫關於 Internet 的報導時﹐麻煩你先到 http://en.wikipedia.org 上查一查, 再作報導,以免誤導大眾。原來台灣記者和香港記者的水準也差不多﹗
作為一個 Blogger,當我有懷疑的時侯也會上網查一查,但一位職業記者竟然寫出這樣的文章﹗再這樣下去﹐記者將會被 Blogger 所取代﹗
