Explain to me again..."miserable failure" is Googled

[Dees]

and the first hit is

www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html

[arcos]

1. It is called a Googlebomb nt

2. If people create web pages that link to that White House page

and the text that links is 'miserable failure', then that will count towards Google's rankings. If enough people do it, it can get tothe top, even though the White House page doesn't itself say "miserable failure".

4. Example

<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html">Miserable failure</a>

Will produce this:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html">Miserable failure

But according to google it means: Miserable Failure == http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html

8. By the way

the "Social Security" link in my sig is part of an attempt (by many many people) at a Googlebomb to educate people about Social Security by leading them to www.thereisnocrisis.com. If you Google the phrase "Social Security" you'll see that it is, unfortunately, not working. It may be the Google has changed their algorithms so that Googlebombs no longer work (or are harder to achieve).
