Google gets realistic

Do you hate George.W.Bush? If you do Google kinda hates him too. Just try searching for the keyword failure or miserable failure on Google and see the first result that turns up. You will be pleasantly surprised to see the official biographical page of the U.S president. Here is the screenshot that shows what exactly happened…

Google terms this rare occurrence as googlebombing, just wondering if Bush got bombed on Google too. Well here is what Google says about this particular search result.

Google’s search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush’s website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don’t condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we’re also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don’t affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

Seems interesting though, have a look and tell your friends about it and have a nice hearty laugh and forget about it…
