    Is it the oficial google blog? I never heard of it.
    Why don't google do something about it? They are getting involved into politics which isn't good for their reputation...

    How are they getting involved in politics? It's a search engine - all they do is index web content. It's not like they're telling anyone how to vote.

    So I just read in another forum that if you type in google "failure" whithouse.gov's bio page of president bush shows up.

    An sure enough whitehouse.gov shows up #1 at the top for his page. Now reviewing the page I did not see one mention of the word failure, nor in the meta tags, etc. How in the world are they #1 for that term???

    Type it in to google to see or here's the link to the page it points to:

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html

    The whitehouse using some nifty blackhat tricks for SEO??

    Hey guys. I got something interesting here:

    Go to www.google.com. Type "Failure" in the search box (without the quotes) and hit I'm feeling lucky instead of Search.
    What do you think? :eek:

    If you do a search for failure, President Bush's biography page is #1 in google, #2 in MSN and #3 in Yahoo. Don't worry I'm not asking about the politics involved, but how would this happen? Is it because of all the links that are pointing to that page? I thought it was odd, because the site does not have any mention of the word failure.

    I'm sure you've all heard of this, but when you search "failure" on Google, the first result is the biography of President Bush. I'm just wondering, why is that? There isn't one instance of the word failure in that page. Did Google manipulate the results so that would come up? Just wondering.

    Read more on the forums, search for anchor text and you will understand it. If you have lots of links with the word "failure" from lots of websites to that page then Google algorithm will understand that the President Bush bio must be well known/famous for the word "failure". It's like having links with the anchor text "bids" to the Ebay website.
