That's old hat. My brother showed it to me months ago. Some group flooded the google bots with tracers to that page, and exploited google's page ranking system. nicely done, though.

Hahaha that's pretty funny actually... It's such a blatent attack on George Bush but it is so true!At least google know what is going on in this crazy world of ours.Do you know any other of these google trick type things? Look forward to seeing some more.

This isn't a trick, but since we're on the Bush subject, I find it fitting nonetheless.

Come to think of it, there's another one you can get through the google thing:
search for "french military victories" and see what has the top listing. I'm not sure if the site is still up, as it won't load on my computer, but at least the link is there with enough of a snippet that you catch the drift.

The phenomenon called "Google Bombs".

 

Link with a lot to an address with a keyword, and google using it's algorithm will classify it higher.

Another google bomb is 'Food Nazis'

"Blunder" implies that it's "by accident!"

Now, that was really a good laugh. I really would like to figure out how google find's this page the top ranking result for 'failure'. I suppose there's a lot of material out there on the web which relates Bush as being a failure; and that's how it happens.Am going to spend some time hunting around for more stuff like this.

I forgot to link it before, there is an impressive list out there including greek and russian keywords

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb

(or more specific : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb%23Ahed_Googlebombs )

My favourites :

******* edit : (word that consists of one's behind and an orifice)
****wit edit : (pretty obvious)
Food Nazis
Opportunist
Vreemdelingenhaat (hate for strangers)
Ληστές (thieves)

Note: these keywords do not necessarily (in fact, most probable they may not) reflect my personal political stance.

I feel like starting one about Sony and their PS3/bluray scheme.

Funny indeed but it also shows evil effect of relying heavily on Off-page factors for ranking a page in Google SERP. Also it indicates a simple SEO trick to increase your ranking in Google SERPs. Oflate though Google is suspecting IBLs more before awarding credit, still, chances for unfair gaming still remain. Regards,Sid
