Thats actualy called a google bomb, it takes advantage of how googles search algorithm works. It happens because of how and what pages its linked to.

What's a Google Bomb?
Google Bombs were conceived last April as part of a brilliant gag by Adam Mathes. In his own words:
Google is unique among search engines in that while it almost always shows you pages that have the exact keywords you are looking for, occasionally it will show you pages that don't have those keywords, but other pages linked to that page with those words.
I first discovered this when searching for internet rockstar, which turned up Ben's page. [editor: Adam is referring to internet rockstar Ben Brown] At the time though, he did not actually have that phrase on his page however the legions of teeny-bopper blogger morons who linked to him always used that phrase in their links.
Adam identified a critical loophole in Google's algorithm. This article I'm writing may be about Google Bombs... but if enough sites linked to it using the phrase "Aunt Jemima," then this article might come up as the first search result for "Aunt Jemima." In other words, the linker can impact the Google Rank of the linkee.
And thus was born the Google Bomb.

Hey I dont do to much posting at illstreet, I used to play around with MX6's a few years back and started talking to Chris Osborne on AIM when I used to post at MX6.com. He was bastardizing an FB with a FWD F2 turbo motor from a first gen and we used to shoot the ****. Fast forward 4 years later he asked me if I wanted to mod illstreet so I started a Mazda forum that bombed and thats that.
