The Anti-Googlebomb Algo myth

If Matt Cutts says that the Googlebomb Problem was solved using a new algorythm that must be correct. After all it THE Matt Cutts from all-beloved Search-Engine Giant Google!

Before Google shuffled the results the Top 3 spots were occupied by disney.com, Google and Yahoo, who’re linked by tens of thousand adult sites with an ‘exit’ button on their index page but that is gone by now.

Oder ist es – wie von einigen in der Öffentlichkeit eher stillen Beobachtern vermutet – möglich, dass es sich in diesem Fall um eine Falschaussage handelt? Wie sonst ist es zu erklären, dass die uralte Googlebomb ‘völlige inkompetenz‘ für den österreichischen Politiker Karl-Heinz Grasser weiterhin funktioniert? […]
