Obama Is “Failure” At Google, “Miserable Failure” At Yahoo

Sorry, but this is such non-news that I can't believe someone took the time to write all this up.

The whole SEO "failure" thing around Bush was kind of humorous, but it mostly underscored the way that search engine results can be (relatively) easily manipulated if you just put a little bit of coordination into it.

Anyone with a tiny fraction of self-confidence would not be the least bit bothered by this.

I would also suspect the whitehouse.gov page is going to undergo several changes and updates, and this issue will manage to correct itself.

I don't know... I found it interesting purely from a "wow, that googlebomb still works" POV.

I agree, we should be discussing why this is still possible and the failure of the search giants to evolve their rank approach.

Perhaps they want to be gamed?

Can we leave these inane issues to reddit?

Interesting asymmetry. Suggests Google is harder to spam than Yahoo.

surely google is easier to spam?

Who cares? It was just a goof in the first place.
