Google IS NOT showing blogs that report truth in google search results
Dear All,

I did some googling with keywords to see if certain articles with names and places would come up AND THEY DIDN'T IN GOOGLE.

This is censorship and wanted to pass this along to others. I wonder who in the WH is payinig off google not to show results of searches with unflattering material THAT'S REPORTING THE TRUTH.

8. Neither have I.
Perhaps the search string isn't specific enough to get the desired results - the blogs may be listed further down the list of hits.

11. The Search Engines Weight Some Sites More Than Others
based on spider searches they conduct every few weeks. A post on a new low-traffic site may get less attention than a post on an established, higher-traffic site.

A big factor is the number of sites that link to the site.

12. You can click the "Search within Results" link ...
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 12:51 PM by BattyDem
to narrow your search. (The link is below the search box at the bottom of the results page)

For example: If you search for "Downing Street Memo" you'll get over a million hits, but if you search within the results for "blog" you'll just get the blog hits. :-)
