No one likes to hear that they are a complete failure, especially not on the most popular internet search engine in the world.

A 20 year-old blogger who did not particularly like the prime minister initiated the prank. He turned to hundreds of his blog’s readers published on a popular Israeli blog site and asked them to add links to their sites through the words “complete failure” which would redirect the view to Olmert’s sites.
The prank was similar to one initiated by radical democrats against US President George W. Bush in which typing the words “miserable failure” revealed the president’s resume.
