I think Google has taken it down now but at one stage you were able to use that search term in Google and George Bush's Whitehouse profile would be number 1. Probably old news for most people though but does provide a good example of how important anchor text is I guess! A great example of the effect of anchor text is “miserable failure”.

Here’s a good example: Warning: Do You Know Your Best Customers? Most of the links in that post are Really Helpful Resource Links. I’m talking about customer profiling and customer personas, but I don’t go into a ton of detail. Instead, I link to others that have covered the subject matter excellently.
