At the top it says: These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: miserable failure
Google's search mechanisim seems to work pretty well. Say a bunch of people linked to a page, calling it 'a very good c++ tutorial'. However, the page itself does not say anything along those lines. You'd probably still want to find it when you searched for 'good c++ tutorial' wouldn't you?
I personally have no problem with Google, or their PageRank system. I occasionally hear some malcontents squaking about how it's unfair, how googlebombs shouldn't be possible, and how the 'one true search engine' will be open source.
I don't buy it.
Google's engine is great as a technology, and I respect their actions and principles as a company.

1. Go to Google. http://www.google.com/ 2. Enter two words: miserable failure 3. Click "I'm Feeling Lucky"
Sorry if you've already seen it...
Those words to not appear on the page nor in the source. Google says they cannot change their database records and ranking system. This is not cool. I'm glad that nutch.org is well under development.
