I think Google really needs to do something about Google-bombing, but the fact that "saudi arabia terrorism" brings up an article on Saudi Arabia and terrorism is kind of what's supposed to happen with a search engine.

I just googled Saudi Arabia and I got the official Saudi information website. It had a photo of Mecca with I personally associate with terrorism. We've not been "google bombed" we've been actually bombed by Saudis. These moslems are always looking to play the victim.

When you enter 'Saudi Arabia' and 'terrorism' together on Google, the most popular Internet search engine, you discover about 800,000 references. 'How Saudi Arabia Spreads Terrorism' is the first and most prominent entry. You may have just been 'Google-bombed'.

Maybe. And maybe you've just hit the genuine best match.

The article is a fraud. I just put "Saudi Arabia" into Google, and except for a brand-new article on MSNBC.com about yesterday's hostage situation (an article which will drop way down in the rankings within days as links to it from other news sites dry up), I had to go all the way down to result number 36 to find a listing that could be considered even slightly negative towards Saudi Arabia.

I find manipulating the Google search to be offensive, no matter who does it and for what purpose.

That's old news.

Manipulating Google is a major sport in some wacko circles. Type in "Weapons of mass destruction" and hit the "I feel lucky" button. This BS has been there for ages.

I stopped using Google a few months ago because of this issue. Either you get "google-bombed" or you get several thousand hit for secondary search engines.

Yahoo seems to have kept more in check than Google.

miserable failure can also direct users to Michael Moore's site or even a profile of the miserable failure that was Jimmy Carter's presidency.

Type "france military victories" into the engine and press the "I'm feeling lucky" button. Just try it.
