"SANDBOXED"/ BLACKLISTED BY GOOGLE
Atlas Shrugs ^ | November 26, 2008 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 11/26/2008 2:52:16 PM PST by Amityschild

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.

She has google ads on her site. Go take a look at the link and the table she includes showing page impressions dropping from tens of thousands a day to double digits overnight.

This is censorship.

“She has google ads on her site.”

I just looked at these two pages and didn’t see and Google AdSense ads:

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/11/sandboxed-black.html

I’m old, and my eyes aren’t what they used to be. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I also just did a Google search, using — “Atlas Shrugs” sandboxed — and received 4,100 Results, including Geller’s page charging sandboxing and censorship at #4.

I’m not saying Google is above censorship, but we need to be careful here. If Geller can prove censorship that would be the end of Google.

With a few exceptions (Sinclair), I have every unflattering and negative story ever written about Obama on my site, and have had no problems with Google, or any other web entity.

The Obama Campaign did attempt to intimidate me and a couple of others last June, using the Washington Post and an affirmative-action appointee to Princeton’s Advanced Studies Institute, but Google and the rest have left me alone.

Again, I’m not saying those two libs running Google aren’t capable of hanky-panky, just that we need to be careful throwing charges around until we know more. In the meantime, we’ll all just watch the web investigative process take its course.

Cheers . . .

LOL! Google has been scrubbin' the peoples files for years. Like the msm, Google polices its own self and calls it a love story.

You sound like a Red - - "the people's files" - - shades of 1968!

Those files belong to Google - - all of 'em.
