If your savvy with website building you'll use the most likely key words then you'll implement a SEO (search engine optimiser). This really allows you to fine tune the site to be most attractive to ANY search engine.

So!...if your good and have an understanding of the SEO protocols you can get your website right up there on the list, even when it's unrelated to the requirements of the persons search.

As a case in point google ....French military victories. Click the one at the top of the list. You get a spoof google site that’s says, "Not found. Did you mean French military defeats?"

This was a classic but funny case of SEO. Right at the top of the list is the complete opposite or unrelated website to the search requirements.

NO conspiracy just savvy SEO.... your welcome.

Did you read the article Steve? Maybe I'm missing something but SEO for keywords is a completely different aspect of site ranking. The article does not mention keyword relevancy as you are describing- it refers to "link relevancy".

The article points out that the link figures on popular conspiracy sites (which one can find with a special "link search") come up much lower than the actual figures.

He gives some examples and describes the process that he used to find the discrepancy in the numbers. If the link relevancy is kept artificially low, those sites will have lower rankings.
