Danny to Bush: Fix the Bomb (The GoogleBomb, That Is)

Remember the miserable failure GoogleBomb? It’s back, in a way, or it will be back. Danny Sullivan explains it here, and asks the Bush administration to fix it.



…in an inept attempt to defuse the Googlebomb, someone in Bush’s White House moved his biography to the page used by the current US president. That means when Bush goes, the next US president (Obama) inherits the problem

..Aside from turning Bush’s search engine problem into a legacy issue for future presidents, the change is also misleading the US public and others. The redirection from the old bio page should lead to the new bio page, not require those using old bookmarks to guess at where the new location is at.
