One of Google's biggest determinants in ranking is how many sites link to a
site. Also, Google pays particular attention to the actual wording of the
text within the <a href>. So by having lots of bloggers include this: "<a
href="" failure</a>" on their posts,
there is a multitude of that specific phrase pointing to the white house
site.
It's a basic search engine placement strategy that has been turned on it's
ear into a Google hax. Now the real question is what happens with the next
administration? Will those cobwebs still be there, or will they have dropped
enough by then to negate the effect?
BTW, this came up in some additional reading:
