					<description>Matt Cutts over at Google says it is difficult to 'Google Bowl' - I beg to differ.  I feel It is very easy to Google bowl especially with targeting keywords.  

There has to be and easier way to verify links.  I haven't come up with any yet.  Maybe a link verification email sent when links are posted.  If links are verified their can be legal action taken.   These links can be found doing a  links:sitename.com or through yahoo site explorer</description>

					<description>Another term for Google bowling is called "DIGG".

If you have a site that gets on the DIGG home page you'll most likely end up with a bunch of links from blogs all over the place. One of my sites had this happen and a few weeks later seemed to be in a time-out penalty box for a couple of months because of DIGG and it just came out yesterday.

Traffic and popularity cut both ways in Google as you can't live without it and thanks to random penalties you can't live with it either.</description>
