I love a good Google Bomb
Amazon Rank

From the link:

Etymology: from 12 April 2009 removal of sales rank figures from books on Amazon.com containing sexual, erotic, romantic, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or queer content, rendering them impossible to find through basic search functions at the top of Amazon.com’s website. Titles stripped of their sales rankings include “Bastard Out of Carolina,” “Lady Chatterly’s Lover,” several romance novels, GLBTQ fiction novels, YA books, and narratives about gay people.

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books did this with Bill Napoli as well, it's very... effective.

... I use the basic search box at the top of Amazon's main page for GLBT books, and for 'transgendered' and I still get plenty of relevant hits.

This link has a lot, if not all the books that were stripped of ranking.
