There have been years of development relating to text/blog/news information relationships. Lots of research already done in this area.

Some of the older work is discussed in the layman's book, "Nerds on Wall Street."

Hedge funds that engage in high frequncy trading can modify their algorithms in order to create a bogus "view count" on other websites in order to manipulate that Google-App.
