Google: No, we’re not cooking search-query autocompletes for partisan results

That’s a popular subject with a lot of competitors in the space.

I tried modifying my search with a notable word on your page — “awesome” — and still you got crowded out.

I am not sure how you climb such a daunting ladder. It looks like you may need to drum up traffic some different way. Google might want you to think it’s the whole world, but it isn’t.

You don’t understand what mean is.

Having been subjected to Google's satanic evil and
mean tricks and graphics that you don't like for years
now, I think I've had a good dose of this "evil".

It doesn't do shit.

Guess it ain't all that evil.

If your idea of the root of all evil is “blog pimpers” then it is safe to say you haven’t come within a light year of ultimate mean.

The worse “mean” is what you embrace to yourself thinking that ah, such a wonderful tool must ipso facto mean the whole world.

No it does not. Reduce your expectations upon the mortal, and then you will ironically find yourself thrilled much of the time.

So Google ADMITS that they are inserting themselves as judges of what content they consider “truthful.”


Read your excerpt again. They won’t suggest anything offensive. Truth has nothing to do with it.

Being a liar seems to be in these days along with hypocrites and traitors.

I don't see where I mentioned anything of the sort.

Please pay more attention and try again after reviewing what I wrote.

My guess is that they have a pool of potential results that they then screen for the unwanted phrases (Trump is a child molester etc.)

Poison that pool, and you will then cut down on the number of references.

If I was at Google myself, shoot yeah I would make proposals to fix pool poisoning. The vituperation would be filtered out before calculating anything else, not as a post processing step.

I wasn’t born yesterday. I know what you habitually complain about. I can correlate that, you do not appear here de novo.

You don’t have enough searchable text with the appropriate keywords/phrases on your home page. You have a couple of paragraphs talking about how you like paper airplanes along with personal anecdotes and story. When people google paper airplanes, they want instructions.
If you google “how to make paper airplanes” and variations on that theme (make great paper airplanes, make paper airplanes that fly far, etc), take note of the first sentence after the page title. Google results are mostly based on relevance.
So reword your page and page title, and include the phrases that people are looking for like ‘best paper airplane’ ‘award winning paper airplane’ etc etc. How to make paper airplanes returns over 2 million results. (vs ‘that fly far’ which returns 450k).

Baghdad Bob wasn’t the worst person in that story (he actually finally got a decent job, to the last I heard). Worse was the buzz that was going around without even an identifiable spokesperson.

If we expect Google to be self serving, life gets a lot easier.

So.. at any time of your choosing you may refer to any statement I have made at any time as being relevant to a current topic?

Wow.

That’s .. something. I ain’t quite sure what.

Yes, statements you have made over and over are what I must take a grain of salt with.

That’s wisdom, bub.

Must be nice to have God on your side when forming your opinions.

Folks have been institutionalized for that.

But still... comforting I'm sure.
