Google bombing

in Zocalo v2.0
On Google, search for "miserable failure," and click I'm Feeling Lucky. :D

Apparently, people can cause Google to associate sites with certain words by linking to it using the word, or something. This is called Google Bombing. Remember when "French Military Victories" got no results, and asked if you meant Defeats? Same technique :p

    Linking to George Bush's biography in relation to the words "Miserable" and "Failure" is all that's needed.

    yea, you get a few thousand references linking GW to Miserable Failure, and it will then link to one of them.

    same for french, or "Goto hell" linking to microsoft.
