associating the search term "waffles" with Senator John Kerry...

Looks like Google decided to do something about it right after the Dems became the subject of these dirty tricks.

They were probably afraid what would happen if Hillary was elected president.

I was always curious exactly how this was done. How did people link the word to the site?

Does anyone have the link to their blog?

It might make interesting reading.

it's more than a 'prank' it's an effort to sway elections and malign folks- About time Google started cracking down on these pukes.

The following link does not relate to this thread http://sacredscoop.com

Yeah, Freepers really are paranoid about the Google thing.

The first five pages take you to ads, who cares which ad comes up first?

Interesting. It appears this is correct. Type in "miserable failure" as a google search and you're no longer taken to the Bush site, but only to discussions about "miserable failure" being a googlebomb.

Also called "linkbombing," the most famous Googlebomb was of course the search for the phrase "failure" that produced a link to the current US President, George W. Bush.

But who goes to a search engine to look up the word (phrase) "failure?"

Methinks the GOOG has some work left to do on this project. See what you get when you google Santorum.
