We've all seen it. You look something up in Google and are flummoxed by what appears. For example, "miserable failure" brings up the biography of George Bush as the first site and Welcome to MichaelMoore.com as the second site. This is search-engine manipulation known as spamdexing, obviously a combination of spam and indexing. Others think a better term is link bombing because it works by the site being linked to a number of popular sites.

What term do you think it should be? Do you know of any other fun ones?

I like Google-Fight. You google two queries, and the query with the most hits is the victor.

I missed this post, Sean. How fun! I put OEDILF and Wordcraft into Google-Fight and found this.

And the third and fourth hits are articles about the first two sites being the first two sites...
