Miserable Failure
Check out Google's #1 hit for "Miserable Failure".
I received an email about this today, and after looking, I started to poke around the other links on Google related to this.
It seems this is the result of a Google washing campaign. I have no problem with the subject of this particular Google Wash, but I'm not happy to see that it's so easy to do.
In the past I have been ranked number one on Google for such things as "Japan Birds" and some other phrases I am too lazy to look up now. I guess it's good for me in that I can get more hits, but I really don't want to waste people's time as they are searching for real information about birds in Japan. I'm sure no one is trying to research my pet birds, who happen to live in Japan, but have nothing to do with species of birds native to Japan.
Should I try to be more responsible when writing my blog? Should I avoid using words that may mislead search engines? Or maybe I should add a page of links to real sites about birds in Japan. Or maybe Google should get better at judging the quality of their results.
UPDATE: In case you don't read the comments, here is an interesting development.... The #1 site on Google for George Bush is very intelligent is Japan's very own Nils from Alive in Kyoto

Sorry for bungling the link. I forgot to say I got the new Lumix last week, largely because of your pictures. I was tired of my Sony's uninteresting colors.
