Does Google Like You !?

Many Webmaster and bloggers are worried about their hompages and blogs popularity in the search engines like MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc. One way to increase your site popularity is to have many links pointing to it, which may increase the possibility of the web crawlers to come across your site and the more they come across it the more popular it is. This can be done by making your friends link to your site, or by adding it to some web-ring or whatever. Also one trick some people do, is by adding some phrases in their site even if they are irrelevant to the site contents such as (Microsoft, Windows, Sex, United States, War, Love, Free, Crack, Hack, Movies, etc.) which they expect many people will use in their search queries; this s sometimes known as search-engine-spam.
