Two Words That Will Never Disappear From Google: Miserable Failure
Two words commonly associated with George W Bush are miserable failure, even without the former president owning the top listing on search engine results pages for more than two years. But Google diffused the Google bomb in January 2007 that firmly established “W” in what most of the country believed his rightful place after the 2008 election.
Miserable failure George W. Bush
For two years, when Google users typed “miserable failure” for their search term, George W. Bush was instant cash at the top of the list, first for his biography and later for images. Pranksters built the miserable failure scheme, known as a Google bomb, after former Democratic Missouri congressman Dick Gephardt applied the term to the Bush administration. There was retaliation from Bush supporters that Google-bombed Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, and Hilary Clinton.
Results today with miserable failure
If you search miserable failure today, you will get results such as a defunct rock band named Failure as well as a magazine called failuremag.com. George W. Bush still shows up in a Google image search for miserable failure, but Google has effectively prevented miserable failure and any other Google bombs from exploding on the web. Those who have miserable failures with their credit cards will still need debt consolidation.
No more miserable failure
The miserable failure Google bomb was possible because before 2007, Google’s search-rank algorithm could rank a page higher if enough other sites linked to that page using similar anchor text. When Google diffused the miserable failure Google bomb in 2007, searchengineland.com asked Google spam killer Matt Cutts how they did it. He said it’s done automatically without human intervention. “It’s completely algorithmic,” he said, “We’re not going to claim it’s 100 percent perfect.”
Miserable failure is still applied
Timeless is the term miserable failure. The term miserable failure now pops up in searches things such as debt management, athletes public programs, and politicians. When diffusing the George W. Bush miserable failure bomb, Google seemed to find a way to stop the pranks. But there’s always room for legitimate commentary about miserable failures.
