How does Atlas grow? Google search is one critically important way. People find Atlas when they do a word search in google ie "Obama birth certificate", "Obama odinga", "honor killings", "Obama campaign finance fraud" - stories that I broke or did groundbreaking work on and Atlas is usually in the top five of the search results. That's how folks find my work and generally I keep 15-20% of them as return readers. Regular Atlas readers know the media refuses to cover these stories - building readership is the only way to boost awareness in this increasingly dangerous world.
A couple of days ago I was wiped off google search pages. Yes, if you google Pamela Geller or Atlas Shrugs, I come up, that is not the issue. My work is not there, it does not come up in google's search results. It is critical to building Atlas that I be searchable.Youtube searches are still intact as are images.
Further my google search box (left sidebar) which I use almost constantly to search my site for reasearch (as do my readers) has been dramtically affaected. Input any term, any word in my search box and the same thing comes up - FORBIDDEN.

Google is a very good tool, but the two flaming liberals that own it have gotten a little too big for their britches. I’m going to go back to Yahoo and boycott Google.
"google" on atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com...through the regular Google.com site.
Atlas Shrugs Typepad is the first response? Am I missing something here?

I have noticed this bias on google searches and am well aware of the Google/Obama connection. It is really scary. At this point I think we need to arrange a boycott of google. We need to start using other search engines. I am not sure how to arrange this but perhaps someone reading this has some ideas.
Google burns virtual books now.
I use http://www.dogpile.com for my searches, and avoid google exclusively.

Thanks! I did a title search and didn’t see it up. I’d rather duplicate this one!!!
Thanks! I just added this and will start to use it.
She is down 10,000 readers a day. The revenue loss is killing her.
Your site can still be found. There's no conspiracy, and the black helicopters aren't circling. I'm sorry the election is over and your ad revenue is down. It happens. That Google decided not to index your site the way you want is THEIR choice. They run their index, so it's private property.
The same thing happened to my blog about two months ago. I can’t remember who I corresponded with, but they said it was spam related. Which was wrong as rain because I’ve never done that. I told them I thought it was because I had so many anti-Obama posts. They replied only that they would work to fix the problem. They did fix it about 3 weeks later. And everything was back to normal. I did some research then and found there were many MANY other instances of where bloggers claimed to have been blacklisted. My advice...complain like hell.
Good point. If CA doesn’t have one, you need to get a google account and use the webmaster analytic tools. It may be an innocuous problem.
I bet if she puts Google Ads on her site, Google will index the site in a heartbeat.
