US President George W. Bush is no longer Google's top response to Internet searches for "miserable failure."

<snip>

The Mountain View, California-based search colossus says it has finally defused such "Googlebombs," search term results rigged by clever outsiders to make comic or critical commentary.

"By improving our analysis of the link structure of the Web, Google has begun minimizing the impact of many Googlebombs," Ryan Moulton and Kendra Carattini of Google write in a company weblog.

"Now, we will typically return commentary, discussions, and articles about the Googlebombs instead."

Google described the programming change as "pretty small," saying there were fewer than 100 well-known Googlebombs, also referred to as "link bombs" because they provide links to unrelated websites under the guise of answering the query.

3. Google "asshole" and click I'm Feeling Lucky

Give the website about 30 seconds to do its thing. Then guess whose monkey face appears, with the words "asshole" written underneath. I guess Google's bomb detector isn't running at 100% efficiency.
