The second search engine we used to look for ‘electric cars’ was yebol.  I consider that the first link (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2009/01/09/switched-on-highways.html) was ranked in that position because of the amount of times that the word ‘electric ’ and ‘cars’ appear throughout the article.  In addition, yebol may recognize how popular this webpage is.

2. Search Engine Optimization is a process where the search engines are optimized for the people who enter, it makes it more "friendly". The most important objective is the choosing sites from the words that the user imputs in the search engine. When a page is more visited that the others, it tends to be in the top of the page when you look for something. Thats part of the process of SEO.

3. When we searched Miserable failure on Google, we found that many links were related to the ex-president of United States, George Bush, before when people searched “miserable failure” the first link that appeared was his biography, although the 2 words never appeared in the article. But that happened because Google doesn’t search only about the content of the page but also about other links the page has. This is called Google Bombing, when you relate one phrase to certain articles which maybe have nothing to do, but they appear when searched.

When we searched Talentless hack, we found that most pages talked about Google bombing, then we found an article that explained that Adam Mathes who has a weblog and an online journal of his thoughts and investigations, used a bomb to make his friend page appear when talentless hack was searched on Google. This may be used by businesses or corporations to improve their position in search results.
