Google
bomb / Google bombing
The practice of using anchor
text to make a page show up in the SERPs
under keywords that are out of context
for that page. For instance, if you want your arch enemy's page to be
#1 on Google for "absolute moron", you'd
get as many people as possible to link to
his page using "abosute moron" as anchor text. Google bombing
can of course also be used to create a positive effect. In theory you
could get your own site listed at the top for very targeted keywords
using the same technique. Both these uses are of course aimed at manipulating
search results and as such are spam.
Googlebot / Google Bot
Google's spider.
Google Dance
Once a month Google updates
its entire index of web sites. That is called
the Google Dance and can last for a couple of days – usually it’s
from about the 20th to the 28th of every month.
Google juice
The quality, power or advantage that a website
possesses, which enables it to enjoy a high ranking within the results
of Google.

Googlewashing
A term invented to show a sort of cleaning-out
of an old meaning of a word and a replacement of that old meaning with
the new meaning. Googlewashing is where a new set of pages supposedly
replaces older pages (in the SERPs) with
a new meaning of a word - like expunging history. In reality, it cannot
happen like that. Rather, to find the old meaning you just need to learn
how to find it now that a new meaning has come into place as the first
documents under that simple query.

Googlewhacking
The name of a "Google
game". Google has an immense database.
The aim is to enter a query consisting of
two words (without using quotes) that returns only one result from the
database. The words must both be in the dictionary (if they are they
will be underlined at the top of your search
results). If you see "Results 1-1 of 1", you've got yourself
a Googlewhack.
