Here are some interesting Google Bombs (A deliberate attempt to rank a website higher in Google searches for a particular word). The Google algorithm work this way; if a website is linked by other sites through a particular word then Google will top that site in its search results for that particular word. This is being exploited by netizens and led to Google bombing. The most prominent bomb is 'Miserable failure' which leads you to George Bush's Biography from Whitehouse website. The words 'Great president', 'Worst president' and 'Miserable' will lead you to the same page!
Some more bombs:
Hell - Microsoft's Home page.
