100% Proof Google is Keeping Conspiracy Sites Down

100% Proof Google is Keeping Conspiracy Sites Down
"Link Relevance" Suppressed on Alternative Media

As if it were not bad enough that we are censored by the main stream media, now there's a new type of suppression being implemented upon conspiracy related websites and alternative media sources.

It's called Link Relevance Suppression, and it's being used on most of the alternative media websites to lower traffic being driven to them by the popular search engine Google.

It's also being used in the opposite way to "Promote" Neo-Con supporting websites by giving them double the "Link Relevance"

Let me explain how Google indexes sites that go into the search cue when someone types in certain keywords relating that site.

Google has many different criteria when it decides how close to the top a website gets, but the main and most important one is Link Relevance. It simply means in laymen's terms;

The more sites that link to your site, the higher you go on the list.

There is a simple way to check on Google how many other websites are linking to your website. You go to Google and type in the word link: before the web address, for example;

link:www.theultimateconspiracy.com

Now here is where the proof is that Google has implemented some kind of script that is giving all the alternative media sites less that 1/4th of the Link Relevance that they deserve.

If you go to Google and simply type in www.yourwebsite.com you will find the REAL number of sites that have a link back to your website. This does not mean that the sites are being added to the Link Relevance, it only shows that they have the link on their website.

Want proof? Let's do some searches of various alternative media related websites and see what we get.

Click the links to see results;



link:www.infowars.com




http://www.infowars.com

Now notice that the "Link Search" brings up 2,960 pages that are linked back to www.infowars.com, but when you look at the actual numbers of sites with links to www.infowars.com the real number is 207,000.

How about;



link:www.prisonplanet.com




www.prisonplanet.com

You get 2,530 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 331,000.



link:www.whatreallyhappened.com




www.whatreallyhappened.com

You get 2,840 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 111,000.



link:www.theultimateconspiracy.com




www.theultimateconspiracy.com

You get 0 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 56.

They are even doing it to popular alternative media sites like Huffingtonpost.com


link:www.huffingtonpost.com




www.huffingtonpost.com

You get 47,000 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 851,000.

Now, let's turn the tables and do a link search on a popular Neo-Con supporting website called Hotair.com, run by the Fox News Shill Michelle Malkin.



link:www.hotair.com




www.hotair.com

You get 11,400 "Link Relevance", and the real number is 526.

How about doing a search on Michelle Malkin's personal site.



link:www.michellemalkin.com




www.michellemalkin.com

You get 38,200 "Link Relevance", and the real number is 15,900.

Notice how the numbers are flipped?

This should have ANY webmaster up in arms. Blatant censorship being implemented to keep the alternative media down and promote the Neo-Con Draconian agendas.

Did Google not think that somebody would figure this out eventually?

Did they not think that this very noticeable censorship would go unchecked forever?

I urge ALL Webmasters, Alternative Media Users, and anybody who cares about how sites are indexed on Google to contact them en mass and state your dissatisfaction about suppressing "Link Relevance".

If Google gave sites like Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com the "Link Relevance" that they deserve, these alternative media sites would be in direct competition with Main Stream Media sites that so dominate the Internet as we know it today.

Nothing like beating the competition by eliminating them, right Google?

the link: command does not

the link: command does not show a full list of backlinks for any site. google intentionally does not disclose all backlinks, as that is a competitive advantage of sorts for them.

On the right track.

This may look like a pattern. Its not really. At least not from a statistical standpoint. Do this a hundred more times and you might have enough data with which to determine a trend.

On the other hand, the data above does make me want to investigate further. Social scientists often do a preliminary study, gathering only a small amount of data in order to determine if there is cause for further investigation. So being a social scientist, and finding this interesting, I'm going to gather more data, and see if this picture we are beginning to see holds up.

Thanks for alerting us to this opportunity for some easy, and even fun research. Not that there is anything fun about censorship.
