THAT is liberalism in a nutshell. When facts belie your position, just shot the discussion down.

PFFFT!

Besides the ideological interests of Google, the search rankings are manipulated by everyone with a product or idea to sell. I think Google monetizes keywords in their ad programs, but I’m quite clear on how that works.

This tidbit interested me. Yesterday I was searching for articles on the 1984-85 feud with Michael Jordan,Nike and the NBA. Jordan was fined what I remembered to be $3000 a day for wearing league color violating sneakers. Phil Knight paid the fine daily and Nike/Jordan made millions from the publicity. I searched google and only 1.5 pages of search results came up, about 25 items and none of them were relevant to the event in question.

I have never searched google when at least thousands of results 100 plus page results came up. I was blown away. I immediately thought that Nike, Jordan and the NBA did not want this ugly feud to be allowed to be dredged up.

Thanks for the response

1) Your looking for an article from before the Internet.

2) check your keywords. I used “Michael Jordan, Nike, NBA and 1984-1985.

This is the 4th item on page 1 of Goog.

Why did Jordan get fined for wearing his shoes?
Kids today might not know that back in the 1980s, when Michael Jordan first left Tar Heel country to become a Chicago Bull, that the NBA at one point told him he would be fined $5,000 per game because his shoes were not regulation colors. ... Nike happily paid the fee for Jordan and he wore those shoes all year.Feb 19, 2018

I came to the Internet with some experience in Library of Congress & Dewey Decimal. These library cataloguing systems originally formed the basis of simple search. For me, after growing up under Dewey Decimal, I had a job for a couple of years assisting in the transferring of a corporate library from Dewey to LoC. Basically, the narrowed categories in Dewey, that existed to the right of the decimal became expanded secondary keywords in LoC. As human knowledge and written output expanded, the cataloging systems tried to become as flexible and comprehensive as possible.

A comprehensive vocabulary and knowledge of synonyms/antonyms helps in search. Keywords rule. But today, we also use 2ndary keywords, which are permutations of the original query (not just the primary keyword alone)and Google expects to find semantically-related words, as well....those are usually found in the rich snippets displayed on the search return page under the headline. Secondary keywords are found in Questions People Also Ask and Searches Related To, as well as headlines.

Not everything is nefariously constructed to support an agenda. More likely, hardly anyone ever asks this question/no one really cares.

Google emphasizes searcher intent and user experience. Make your intent as clear as possible using simple primary keywords. If you want an historical result, it helps to put in something the AI recognizes as *historical*.

Hope this helps.

If you hate my country, leave.

I agree, those that do, should get out of of our country and stay out.

Absolutely. I am not giving up the holidays that represent who we are for some thing from somewhere else.

I know who we are.

I could care less about other nations beliefs.

Not my problem.

Xenophobic is a libtard word of surrender of your world.

F-em.
