Google bombing

Google bombing, also known as Google washing, is the practice of causing a website to rank highly in web search engine results for irrelevant, unrelated or off-topic search terms. It is in contrast of search engine optimization (SEO), which is the practice of improving the search engine listings of web pages for relevant search terms.
