Hi all,

I have a friend whose name is distinctive enough that all the top hits on a Google search for it are indeed about her. Recently, a page went up with some embarrasing info about her, and it's one of the top hits now. Since she can't affect the page which posted the info, I assume that the only way to lower its prominence in the search is to create more links to other pages which mention her, so as to supercede the bad result with these.

Is there is a ready way to do this? I have seen tribe.net threads as hits on Google in the past, for example. Does this mean that if she joins up and posts to very active threads, signing her full name, these threads will eventually overrun the result she wishes to suppress? Are there other ways to generate "noise" to dampen the impact of the bad "signal"?
