Actually it shows up with the default setting. It doesn't require the safe search to be off.

Google are LibIdiots, who try to cheat a Christmas header with a cat and a mouse designed to look like a Christmas decoration, but on close inspection is not.

If they are manipulative and a fraud with that then why would anyone expect them to be decent in any other way?

Their "news" is biased and there searches like Baby Jesus and Failure are inflammatory and disgusting.

If they were decent people they would at the very least remove those offensive sites from the top of the search, but don't expect them to because they are LibIdiots.

As we all know the New Media revolution purged Leftist cultural tyranny by annihilating Olds Media gatekeepers. IMHO the Left wants to try to use google as a new gatekeeper to restore Leftist cultural tyranny.

How much of a moron must you be to think that the Baby Jesus butt plug got to number one on the search? That could only happen by an abuse of the Google system.

So why don't the LibIdiots at Google make an effort when their search engine is abused in the most disgusting way to attack a religion, to make a simple correction by removing it from the top of the search?

Only a certified jerk would say "that is how Google works" and stop being paranoid. Decent people would seek to correct the abuse.

Notice that the top search result is for a sex toy that mocks Jesus.



it's more directed against followers as none can be against jesus but against themselves in joining the wrong institutions.

Show me where, in the Google indexing algorithm, it distinguishes between conservative and liberal. Showing a couple cases of Google bombing (something completely outside the control of Google) and bringing up political contributions (which are a separate issue entirely from the algorithms of the indexing engine) do nothing to prove a case of duplicity.

The entire world isn't a bag of conspiracies. There aren't black helicopters with the Google logo outside your window right now. Google isn't tapping your telephone. Google's execs are not stalking you. And the indexing algorithms don't give a damn about the content of information; merely the relevance of the information to the search entered by users.

You have as much of a Constitutional right to rant and rave about Google as DUers have to rant and rave about President Bush. In the end, however, loony theories bring far more chuckles than nods, regardless of the theory's conjuror or its target.

"So.................if we all linked Google to "Google is a putrid pile of donkey manure" as keywords, Google would let that stand? Hah! Hardly."

More baseless accusations of tampering? Fascinating... well, no, not really.

Searching for "google sucks" on Google brings up 20,000 pages. Humans aren't removing them. Google's execs aren't removing them. Google's algorithm isn't refusing to index them. If you want information on "Google sucks", the Google indexing algorithm is more than happy to provide tens of thousands of pages, with the most relevant sorted first.

Google doesn't care about the content; it cares about the relevance of the results to the search query.

"Google News is definitely manipulated in a biased fashion."

We complain on here day-in and day-out about how the media tends toward a liberal bias and you're surprised that the bias is reflected in a set of indexed news stories from the media we're complaining about?

If, say, 8 in 10 news sites are biased in a certain way, are you honestly expecting Google to index things in such a way that most of the results are based on the 2 stand-outs? Who'd be biased then?

Bias is bias, even when you agree with the result.

See No Evil (Google defines Taiwan to be a province of China)

Pity poor Taiwan -- which has just been involuntarily reunified with China by the source of information almost everyone now turns to on the Internet. The island's government, and a handful of its most ardent pro-independence legislators, are up in arms that Google has decided to designate Taiwan as a "province of China" in its map section.

It is a search engine for crying out loud. I mean honestly putting a christmas tree or snowman are both winter ideas. Get a life all of you. It is a search engine and I love it because it is quick and easy. You make conservatives look like kooks.

Interestingly, google as an internet company does not even provide an email address under their "contact us" information for feedback/complaints. The only mail address listed is explicitedly for "business proposals" only.

I suggest we send our complaints there: bizdev@google.com

Also I am never using google again and I request all decent people to find an alternative search engine. This is how we beat the libidiots and eliminate them from our daily lives.

Alert: Ask your church webmasters to put Baby Jesus first in the website meta tag

The solution is simple...and it would help boost church attendance.

DO make a fuss about this and get a "news cycle" going. Ask all churchgoers to ask their church website webmasters to link to a real Baby Jesus site using the anchor text Baby Jesus.

Anchor text is what a link actually says, not the URL it points to.

The church websites would all have to "agree" on pointing to one specific Baby Jesus website or the satanic website will remain number 1. Also...be prepared for the leftists to counterract you by putting more Baby Jesus anchor text in links to the satanic site.

Now to something related: If you have a business and you've gotten lots of people to link to you with the links actually saying "Thompson & Associates of Bellevue" as anchor text...go back and ask everyone NOT to do that because it is a waste.

Nobody is going to search for "Thompson & Associates" if they are looking for a tax advisor. Ask everyone to rename their link to you "Tax Services and Preparation in Bellevue" or something that people would actually enter into Google as a search term.

The anchor text of links is now the most important factor in Google listings. It is what others describe you as, in their words, that Google uses.

Also: The second most important factor is the TITLE Meta Tag of each page of your website. That is right: Every page.

Baby Jesus searches get the satanic site over its nearest competitor because Baby Jesus are the first two words of the satanic site and the third and fourth words of its nearest competitor. The competitor might be able to take first place if they only changed the word order of their title.

Heh, this is actually pretty funny. It's amazing to me how many people will freely open their mouths to comment on things they know truly -nothing- about. I'm amazed I'm actually answering this ignorance-fueled troll-bait.

Please, folks, learn a few things about computers, the internet, programming, and search indexing before commenting on any of the aforementioned topics. If nothing else, it will keep you from looking like a moonbat to the rest of us.

Say, anyone who knows nothing about physics want to share some conspiracy theories about how Bell's Inequality Principle is really a plot to destroy America? That would at least be more entertaining and less irritating.

Liberal Bias at Google

RightMarch.com documents liberal bias of which it has been the victim in ads it attempted to place with search engine Google.com.

It turns out that Democrat groups which are advertising in opposition to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay are allowed to run their ads, but with RightMarch.com attempted to run ads in opposition to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, they were denied because, "Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group or organization."

So to review class:

1) Anchor Text is what someone's link to your site actually describes you as. You want all your friends to link to you with the exact words you think people will search for what you offer with.

2) The Title meta tag of all of your website pages should not have the name of your site or corporation as the first words. You will want something like "Tax Preparation Services Bellevue - Thompson & Associates".

By the way, that is a fictitious name I made up. I am not shamelessly advertising a real service. The best tax advisor I know is on Mercer Island and not Bellevue. :-)

*yawn* This again? Look at your own link, please. First of all, most US companies refer to Taiwan as a province of China these days. Secondly, Taiwan's own government has a site where it refers to itself as a "provincial government". If it's not a province of China, just which nation is Taiwan claiming to be a province of? Algeria? Ask Taiwan; by their own admission, they are not an independent nation. In fact, China has openly said that if Taiwan ever claims independence, it would immediately lead to open war. Please, next time, read your own link before hitting the Post button.

By the way, I do NOT agree with NJ Gent on being rude to you or anyone else who is outraged by this. Google can and does punish hacking...and they can darn well knock the satanic website down a few notches and just dare the satanists to try to argue that Google staff did that on purpose.
