  • George W. Bush:
    A Failure Once Again, According To Google

    Remember how Google introduced a link bomb fix in January that, among other
    things, finally got US President George W. Bush out of first page of results
    for searches on miserable failure and failure at Google? Bush is back, at

  • AOL To Sell Ads
    Direct, Using Google’s Tools

    commentary that followed it was anything but. What’s the big deal? The search
    engines never had to give us this data in the…

    A few weeks ago Steven Aldrich, a VP of strategy for small business software
    (and now marketing) company Intuit, delivered a speech in which he presented
