George W. Bush: A Failure Once Again

[133724]

Remember how Google introduced a link bomb fix in January that, among other things, finally got US President George W. Bush out of first page of results for searches on miserable failure and failure at Google? Bush is back, at least for failure, and the White House has only itself to blame.

Someone reading our article about the fix -- Google Kills Bush's Miserable Failure Search & Other Google Bombs -- commented yesterday about Bush's return to the results. I didn't see Bush's page ranking myself when I checked yesterday, but now I do:

2. by getting a lot of people to make a link to a site, page, etc. using

the same anchor text in the link.

Example: (and I'm using standard html tags so you can see the code):
<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/biography.html"> Miserable Failure</a>

The bold words are your anchor text. It looks like this when done right:
Miserable Failure

Sometimes it only takes 4 or 5 different sites using the same reference in their anchor text to manipulate the search engines.
