    That is pretty interesting, did you notice Michael Moore was #4 on the list. What ever happened to him anyway, talk about a flash in the pan I guess Cindy Sheehan stole his limelight! :)

    I used Yahoo and MSN search engines and failure got him on the first page but not the top of the first page. Since these things parse webpages for various things and don't give "opinions", I wonder what it is about the webpage that they take you to, and all three take you to the same webpage, that hits those search engines.

    For businesses they try very hard to have lots of things on their page that would put them on the first page of any search engine. There are services that will help you to move up the page on search engines, if you aren't on the first couple of pages people will never find you.

    It turns out just as I thought there is a reason for this phenoma.

    It's called Google Bombing.
