CAUTION

The link you have promoted here (first item on search results) is itself a disguised promotion for a T-Shirt company and gambling company. I got a security alert when checking it

Very good. The "feeling lucky" button just takes you to the top site in the search list which in this instance is a page made to look like a browser error page, they must pay Google to be at the top of the search.

No harm being done though.

Similarly, type "French Military Victories" into Google and hit "I'm feeling lucky"

Not a t-shirt manufacturer, as far as I can tell.

No, you cannot pay google to be first. Google ranks sites by the number of times that other sites link to that site. This site has been linked to by hundreds of thousands of forums, bloggers etc, so rises to the top. This is known as Google bombing, whereby a concerted campaign by bloggers can elevate a site to number one position

So....Brendan
What happens if you type" bomb google bomb" into Google?

[BrendanS]

depends on whether you put quotes around the three words. If you do, you'll force it to look for that exact phrase. If you don't it'll just search for sites with bomb and google in the text, the additional bomb is irrelevant.......well you did ask!!

Have a nice day!

Re: CAUTION

whoops - sorry. I just thought it was amusing! (Ignorance is bliss). I didn't get a security warning - I use mozilla as a browser.
