Weblogs, Internet How bloggers game Google (Google Watch)
Or is Google dumbing down blogdom by feeding their drivel back to them? And what happens when that drivel is fed to you?

(The weblogger they use as a model abuser of Google's PageRank™ system used to work at Pyra Labs, the home of Blogger. What's even worse is he posted tips for "google-bombing" on his blog, where you deliberately screw with their algorithm to increase your ranking.
