1- Go to Google

2- Type in the word "Failure"

3- Instead of clicking "Google Search," click "I'm Feeling Lucky."

4- Giggle

5- Spread the word before the people at Google "fix" it.

It's nothing new.

The people at Google aren't going to "fix" it, that's how their indexing algorithm works.

You'll aslo notice by trying it out that the right has caught on to these Google manipulation methods. If you do a straight search, without using the feeling lucky button, you'll find Michael Moore's site ranked second.

Learn more about it here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlebomb

All major search engines make use of link analysis and thus can be impacted. So, a search for "miserable failure" on 1 June 2005 brought up the official George W. Bush biography number one on Google, Yahoo and MSN and number two on Ask Jeeves. On 2 June 2005 Yooter reported that George Bush is now ranked first for the keyword 'failure' as well as 'miserable failure' in both Google and Yahoo. And on September 16, 2005, Marissa Mayer wrote on Google Blog about the practice of Google bombing and the word "failure."

goodle also did the same thing a while back.

When you typed in "Weapons of mass destrution" they had their own take on that.

Just fun, but there are lot of needs for a laugh.
