Googlebombing as harassment
Another use, which might be argued as political but really is much more directed and personal than that, is to use the process as a way to harass people, notably bloggers but not needfully limited to that.
Can someone consider the merit of an Amber Heard Google Bomb?
After the Depp Vs. Heard trial, if someone was to search the word "perjury", the first several images that appeared were of Amber Heard, this happened for several months after the trial results. MrScottBull (talk) 16:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The basic premise of "Google bombing" seems inaccurate, based on the first sentence in this article
"The terms Google bombing and Google washing refer to the practice of causing a website to rank highly in web search engine results for irrelevant, unrelated or off-topic search terms by linking heavily."
While this is often true, "linking heavily" is not the only approach, and the original approaches involved clicking, not linking. I am going to either delete "by linking heavily" or clarify that there are a variety of tactics that can be used. Reddit is an example of more recent effective Google bombing, and using Reddit is not a form of "linking heavily". Open to any thoughts on this before I make this edit.
