I ve tried this for various keywords and with low competition its very easy to get high serps for keywords unrelated to the site... Funny that! :) Great Blog , keep up the good work!

They've since removed "failure" from the page's content, so it's possible that they'll drop out of the #1 spot again. I think the Googlebombing-algorithm is very fine targeted; it's not something that discounts anchor text automatically, it requires a few factors to be in place before it triggers.

That was quick John! Try hitting refresh - I was premature in publishing the article and it's been changed since you first read it - have you got me on feed? I'll often publish, read, and then adjust my new posts a couple times during the first hour or so when I'm writing an opus like this one. w.r.t. miserable failure and bush being back in the top three - that would possibly give a few more clues about how the alg works - but a search for <a href="http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=miserable+failure&btnG=Google+Search&meta=">miserable failure</a> still doesn't show bush on the front page, at least for me - and it does seem that Australian searchers get different results in Google than the US. Damn - I was getting a bit excited for a mo there! M Wow! That was quick John!

Look at "failure" - as soon as they (accidentally, I assume) added the word to their pages, it has started to rank in the top 3 again. It's easier to rank your own site, with the keyword on it somewhere or with an obscure enough keyword. That's not really GoogleBombing, it's just a natural part of white-hat SEO :-). … but … there’s a difference between ranking someone else’s site for a keyword that doesn’t exist on their site (GoogleBombing) and just using anchor text to achieve better rankings for yourself (especially when you do have that keyword on your site somewhere).
