Is the Bodybuilding forum really THAT popular?

I feel like half the time when I Google something, a thread from the Bodybuilding.com forums shows up no matter what it is. For example, the second or third result for "who is charge of daylight saving time.

I just don't understand how a single forum for a specific interest can be popular enough to get such priority placement in Google's search results. (Unless Google is trying to tell me something...)

Google Bombing, you should learn it.

I know what Googlebombing is, thank you. But it's the most seemingly irrelevant searches that almost no one would ever search, and it's just random threads littered throughout the forum, not the forum itself. I don't get it.

Body building man. It's a lot like cumming. I can see why it's popular.

I think's that's an old Arnold quote.

[up] XD

I'd say an old Arnold Shwartzanegger quote, or however you spell that last name.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.

That's the point of Google bombing. Poison the search engine to where it points to you no matter what they may be searching for.

All it requires is manipulation of <meta> tags in the HTML.

I thought people usually Google bombed either for political reasons or to promote a product. And, y'know, did it with search terms that people actually would search. I doubt there's many people Googling who controls Daylight Savings Time.
