Link bomb term explained

Link bomb – results of links, not corresponding to the requested description. Pretty funny to have link bomb for someone who is trying to trick or make fun of a person, company or brand, but it is unpleasant and, at times, humiliating for one over another joke.

The exact date of occurrence of the term is unknown, but most sources refer to the year 2000. The first cases of this kind of spam was seen then.

The goals:

• Commercial fraud (to stick it to a competitor).
• Associated with political views.
• Associated with personal dislike (laughs).
