Texsox

I hope he realized the mistake he made and doesn't repeat it. That was monumentaly stupid.

Any chance of Soxfest moving someplace warm?

The practice of using anchor text to make a page show up in the SERPs under keywords that are out of context for that page. For instance, if you want your arch enemy's page to be #1 on Google for "absolute moron", you'd get as many people as possible to link to his page using "abosute moron" as anchor text. Google bombing can of course also be used to create a positive effect. In theory you could get your own site listed at the top for very targeted keywords using the same technique. Both these uses are of course aimed at manipulating search results and as such are spam.

Google bombing (GOO.gul bawm.ing) n. Setting up a large number of Web pages with links that point to a specific Web site so that the site will appear near the top of a Google search when users enter the link text. (Note that Google™ is a trademark identifying the search technology and services of Google Technologies Inc.) —n. Google bomb. Example Citation: Since Mathes planted that first Google Bomb, the practice has spread throughout the blogging community. Here are four types of Google Bombs whose fuses have already been lit: 1. Humor Bombs. Mathes' original Google Bomb remains the classic of this genre. It's pretty funny to see your friend come up in Google as the No. 1 talentless hackin the whole world. Successful humor bombs, like most Google Bombs, require search key words that don't get a lot of traffic. 2. Ego Bombs. Many bloggers want to be the top search result for their first name or full name. Free-lance writer David Gallagher posted this plea on his site: I've decided that I want to be the most famous David Gallagher on the Internet, and if you have a Web site, you can help. How? Link to this site like so: David Gallagher. As of March 22, he's ranked No. 3 in Google. 3. Money Bombs. So far, no one's paying bloggers to set off Google Bombs, but the practice is probably inevitable. Last month, Weblogger Brig Eaton floated the idea, saying that her father would be willing to pay to get his site Google Bombed into the No. 1search result for Santa Cruz real estate. A week and a few (free) links later, www.santacruzrealty.net had moved from the No. 189 Google result to No. 39. —John Hiler, "Google Time Bomb," Slate Magazine, March 25, 2002

I searched for google bomb and now Tom Ridge and Homeland security opened a file on my Damn . . .

You know you can log in from Germany. . .

Ouch please don't call me a republican

And you are mod of the year? Use the http:// insert button when editing your sig. I'll try and research google bombs.

Damn Heather stirring up trouble

I would tell you but since I'm not as funny as MurcieOne or can add to a thread like YASNY . . . :finger

add to your sig Chicago White Sox and link it to http://www.soxtalk.com I'm wondering since a many of us have 2,000 + posts if the search engines will see that has 2,000+ entries. THat would be cool and bump it up fast.

I would like to say I have lost Best to Add and I blame Texsox for allowing YASNY to be in the underated and best to add. Wait that's me!? What a dumb s*** I am. Why didn't I put sox4lifeinpa (aka Susan Lucci) in there instead.?

Thank you. Polls will remain open through Sunday night to allow those poor unfortunate souls who have to work for a living without an internet connection and only come around on the weekends to vote.

Marsh part of it is the XBOx and PS2 are newer, we bought the CabeCube when it first came out. With so many games being developed for every platform it seems kind of dumb to have them all. I'm waiting for someone to develope a universal controller that could plug into any of the three.

who would check the ticket stubs at the movie? Get back to class. Do you want to end up like sox4lifeinpa?

I called Bud Selig's office and left my phone number for him to call me when he makes a decision. I'll post here as soon as he calls.

I have 5 gaming systems at my house PC, GC. PS2, GameBoy, and the newest addition an XBox. IMHO the Xbox graphics are very good and I like the harddrive, PS2 has the most games I'm interested in, and the GC kinda sits their a lot of the time. I do find that my local Hollywood video always seems to have a couple good GC games available when everything else is rented.

I overheard two ladies I worked with telling how they selected a gynecologist. One lady said she liked the old men because their hands shake . . .

Soxfest was off my radar but my dad just had surgery and I was thinking about heading back to Chi to see him. When is Soxfest this year?

I don't envy you at all. They really aren't something to laugh at. A friend of mine developed them once when we were backpacking and about 12 miles from the trailhead. Fortunately they have new methods of breaking them up that do not involve castration.

Don't worry about it. I'm certain your powers will return soon.

Kidney stones!? Don't worry they'll pass. You need
