Glossary term: Miserable Failure

One of the earliest and most widely cited examples of a Google bomb. When one searches for the term "miserable failure" on Google, the first result is President George W. Bush's biography page on the WhiteHouse.gov website. Neither the term "miserable" nor the term "failure" are anywhere on the page, but thousands of bloggers (and other website owners) have linked to the page with that term in the anchor text.

Update: In late January 2007, Google took steps to remove Google bombs from its index.
