Google Bombs Loves Scientology

Yet again, over a year since the first George Bush "miserable failure" Google Bomb was ignited, we again see the makings of another backlink and anchor-text driven campaign to trick the Google Algorithm into giving the top search engine ranking to an artificial slander campaign. This time, Scientology is the target and "dangerous cult" is the weapon. What makes this Google Bomb so different is its social marketing component and momentum to generate these controversial backlinks. Be forewarned, though, that Google does not like being manipulated like this and I expect big Google ranking changes over the next few weeks.
