Can’t Hide the Decline of Google “Climategate” search results
January 10, 2010 · 9 comments
climategate.com
Air Vent today brought up something we’ve been noticing as well. At one point, there were over 50 million Google search results for for the term “climategate.” When we purchased the domain name climategate.com a couple months ago, I remember there were just over ten million, and since then we’ve watched the number dwindle down what we have today: 1,950,000. In fact, when Air Vent wrote their article earlier today, they said it showed 2.2 million results. Between our two testings, that’s a quarter of a million fewer pages in less than a day. At this rate, climategate will cease to exist on Google in eight more days.
So what of the other search engines. Here are the numbers at this very moment:
Yahoo: 30,100,000
Bing: 51,400,000
No declines with them.
Put this together with their buddies over at Wikipedia who don’t call the climategate page “climategate” (they call it “Climatic Research Unit hacking incident”); and with their buddies over at GE who are working with them in green energy projects, and it kind of make one wonder, don’t it now?
Not that Google would ever manipulate their data. Here, you can prove it yourself. Goto to Google.com and key in the search field, “Christianity is” and see all the auto suggestions like “Christinaity is bullshit” that come up. Then try it with any other religion, except Islam. When you are done with the world’s religions, try “Islam is.” Huh? There is nothing there.
You see, just as Google is watching out for our best interests and not discouraging negative comments towards Islam, they also know that it’s in our best interest to not keep on keeping on with the absurd “Denier” crap.
Here’s to the thought police.

Islam is Google Suggest search results bug

Try typing "Islam is" into the Google search and you'll notice that you don't get any suggested search terms like you do for other queries. Normally, Google has a nifty feature that gives you a dropdown menu of things you may be searching for as you type your query. This "Google suggest" feature doesn't include searches related to "Islam is" as of right now though.
While it may appear that the Google Suggest feature is censoring search results related to "Islam", the search engine company claims this occurs due to a bug with their system. Typing in "Christianity is", "Hinduism is" or "Judaism is" will give suggested results and many of them are negative. Some people have gone so far as to accuse Google of showing favoritism via the search results or being prejudiced against Islam. Google claims this is not the case.
Still Google says the "Islam is" occurrence is a bug, and they're working to fix it as quickly as they can. The story ran earlier on Fox & Friends of FOX News channel, with an on-air demonstration giving the same non-results. |
