Google: more than a search engine provides more than 30 services, tools
and functions for its users (e.g the search for definitions, the “I'm feeling lucky“search, Froogle, Google Earth)
The bread-and-butter service: Google Search
Basis: PageRank system examines the number and relative
popularity of each website linked to another one
every link counts as a vote “important“ sites have a strong vote
for other sites
Google combines PageRank with a complex text retrieval in order to find sites thata. are importantb. AND fit the query
Google analyzes the number and closeness of search keys (and the content of the linked sites) to do the whole PageRank
Entering the query “failure“ or “miserable failure“ plus using the “I'm feeling lucky“ search leads directly to George W. Bush's official websites
2 reasons The other one refers to the PageRank
system A number of webmasters use the
phrase “failure“ or “miserable failure“ to describe and link to Bush's websites
Site ranks on top of Google's result list due toa. its importance and popularityb. the descriptions on pages connected
to this site Influencing the ranking of a given page
in results returned by the Google search engine is called Googlebombing
