Google, Microsoft no longer ‘more evil than satan’

People have heared of Googlebombs for a long time, Now there is a new kind of anchor text bombing call the MSN Bomb,

Usually google bombing or anchor text bombing is the method of adding a particular keyword or phrase in anchor text and making a particular site rank, There are some bloggers involved in this,

After the launch of MSN beta search it showed sites like microsoft and google on top of the searches for ‘more evil’ and more evil than satan, It was a bit frustrating for many users, Now MSN search has been fixed,

This is what they say on their blogs,

As mentioned in a previous post on this blog, we recently received our
first few MSN Bombs. One of these was the phrase “more evil than satan”,
which brought up both Google and Microsoft in the top 10 results. A number
of you sent us feedback on this. Well, we just pushed out our latest round of
automated relevance improvements and they changed the results. Now neither
Google nor Microsoft rank in the top 10 any more for this particular
query. Our algorithm changed its mind. Just so you know (since I’m sure
you’ll ask), this wasn’t a targeted change. We are constantly refining our
ranking algorithms to produce the best, most accurate results, so changes like
this happen all the time. Finally, for the record, we won’t be commenting
on the ranking of individual results from here on out. The algorithm
decides! Feel free to send us feedback.
