George Bush No Longer a Miserable Failure

At least not anymore according to Google.

The most recent Googlebombing post by Matt Cutts notes that there has been an “improvement of the link analysis” by Google Engineers.

The following are of the non-malicious variety and are based on thousands of anchor text mentions:

1. click here shows Adobe Acrobat as #1. Best practices for PDFs include a link to these pages for the user to download the most recent PDF reader.

2. leave gives the top position to Disney’s Corporate home page. This is from the thousands of porn sites who link to Disney if the user chooses not to “enter.”

My question is, how does Google know the difference? Is the link analysis that they mention completed by a human being? They must have a list of the main Googlebomb offenders.
