why does a search of the word failure result in a biography of George Bush as the 3rd site?

Question

The article did not mention the word "failure" that I could find.

Answer 1

It's something called google bombing.

Due to multiple people using those terms together, (I.e. a lot of people think of george bush as a failure, enough that it's more common than "george bush success") that it's highest ranked as relevant.

It's actually number one, by the way.

Google has a full explanation.

And please don't let this go off into a diatribe about how now the internet is biased against republicans.

It's just that liberals are more computer savvy! :-)

We don't consider the internet the highway to hell, nor is a pc "satan's television"

Answer 2

It is called googlebombong or searchengineboming. You can read about it here.. It comes from having links on websites. That say miserable failure. Then when you press the link. It takes you Bushs bio. And the way the search engines work they relate Bush to failure.
