Google-bombs defused: Has Google gone on the counterattack against Google-bombs? At least two high-profile attempts to manipulate Google's search results -- including one that mocks Google management -- have suddenly and mysteriously gone belly up.

Google-bombs are a simple manipulation of the famous search engine that cause certain Web pages to become the top results for certain phrases.

Since March, a Google search for the phrase ``out of touch executives'' would bring back as the top result the official Google Web page of its executives' bios.

But last week, the page suddenly lost its top ranking in the Google search results, dropping completely out of sight.

Daniel Brandt, a long-time Google critic and originator of the ``out of touch executives'' Google-bomb, originally thought that thin-skinned Googlers intentionally tweaked their search engine to undo his handiwork. But at least one other Google-bomb -- which used to lead searchers to president candidate John Kerry's Web site when they typed in the word ``waffles'' -- has also stopped working.

Google would not comment on the change, though the company tweaks its search algorithm often. Brandt speculates that the changes may be related to an attempt by Google to combat spam in its search results.

There's no way to know for sure. But it's worth noting that one Google-bomb still works: the one that links the phrase ``miserable failure'' to President Bush's official biography.

Google conspiracy theorists, start your engines.

I personally don't think Google is discriminating against our google bomb... I think it is a matter of our Google bomb not having enough support. We had well over a hundred people working on this a few weeks ago, but gradualy people took the link down or didn't post a new one. Let's get this back on top. Spread the word. Make a post about it on your site once a week until it is back on top.
