Last night I was on an FR gun control thread. Went to Google in an attempt to find more info about the Hungarian Revolution and guns. To my surprise, Google listed that very thread at the top of the results page. Thread was only about an hour old.

Well, I can only repeat what I wrote to familyop above. My article does not suggest that Google is blocking FreeRepublic from its search engine. It suggests that it is failing to give proper credit to Web sites for incoming traffic they receive from FreeRepublic.

This is a different issue than the one you address.

He’s not referring to keyword searches on Google that return Free Republic in the search results. He’s talking about the Google traffic analysis statistics for websites to which Free Republic provides external links from its articles.

Haven't checked since December but a couple of my FR threads were in the top 10 for SANTA CLAUS.

Which is truly frightening!
