Google Bombing

Google has announced on their blog that they have got Google Bombing under control. Hmmmm.

You can no longer enter "Miserable Failure" and be lead to the George W Bush White House homepage. Just in time for the straw polls and primaries... for a man who is not even running? As reported by Search Engine Land, "Also gone are pages about Michael Moore and former US president Jimmy Carter that were on the first page of results due to Google bombing actions."

I wonder what the next one will be? Seems like a game of whack-a-mole to me.

"french military victories" still works.

Either way, you may need to update your lessons on how to manipulate search results in Google to teach our learners to question their veracity.
