Knocking a competitor out of the search results by pointing hundreds or thousands of low trust low quality links at their website.
Typically it is easier to bowl new sites out of the results. Older established sites are much harder to knock out of the search results.
Google Bowling is a black hat SEO technique used to knock competitors down or out of search engine results. It is a form of SEO sabotage that is conducted by pointing hundreds of questionable links from low quality sites at a competitor's site so they end up banned or penalized by Google. Generally newer sites are more susceptible to Google Bowling as older sites are better established with a range of existing high quality links. Submitted by Brigitte Capp Netconcepts
