		<description>&lt;p&gt;Google Bombing works only if you are trusted by your peers (unless you &lt;br&gt;have money and can do what Scientology (and others I&#39;m sure) do [1] aka &lt;br&gt;simulation of peer approval).&lt;br&gt; Google ranking is based on the assumption that every author will &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br&gt;link to valuable information. Some kind of a democratic ranking, in a way.&lt;br&gt; Hence, an author can abuse once or twice the Google ranking, but after &lt;br&gt;that, readers-peers won&#39;t trust him (aka link to you) anymore et voilà , no &lt;br&gt;more easy google bombing via weblogs for that particular author.&lt;br&gt; [1] &lt;a href="http://www.operatingthetan.com/google/"&gt;http://www.operatingthetan.com/google/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Google Bombing works only if you are trusted by your peers (unless you 
have money and can do what Scientology (and others I'm sure) do [1] aka 
simulation of peer approval).
 Google ranking is based on the assumption that every author will &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; 
link to valuable information. Some kind of a democratic ranking, in a way.
 Hence, an author can abuse once or twice the Google ranking, but after 
that, readers-peers won't trust him (aka link to you) anymore et voilà , no 
more easy google bombing via weblogs for that particular author.
