ELI5: What is google bombing?
gpt
Google isn't "smart", it just guesses what words mean by how often they're related to other words.

Google bombing is the practice of constantly linking to something with unexpected words, convincing Google that the two things are related.  Let's say you get a bunch of people to post links to Johnny Depp's Wikipedia page using the phrase "ugly jerk".  Eventually, searching for "ugly jerk" will turn up links about Johnny Depp.

...and then the media finds out, everyone has a laugh & Google manually fixes the search results so it doesn't happen anymore.
