Another google casualty?

Posted in Censored! at 7:41 pm by nemo

I get a remarkable comment today: on the post Totalitarian google tries to censor history-and-evolution.com, below.
I have always had sneaky suspicions about Google, and the behavior of history-and-evolution.com simply doesn’t make any sense in relation to the known mechanics of Google’s past performance. As noted, Darwiniana seems to obviate whatever was done to H&E.com, if anything.
I am not sure I understand what happened with ERV, so I can only repost the info.

Actually, for other reasons, the hit traffic at H&E has increased, even as the connection to Google searches on key words has drastically decreased. The reason is that the site is becoming better known and attracts a high number of repeat visits from those who know of its existence. The late night term paper crowd, among others, will go through ten or so pages per visit. I can time the semesters as the hits peak in the month before exams, plummet for two weeks after commencement, and then resume at a lower rate for summer school, ….

Darwiniana has an ‘eonic effect’ category, but that seems to have eluded the sneaky ones.

I will take a look at this ERV situation, but I am operating in the dark and don’t know quite what to recommend.

Totalitarian google tries to censor history-and-evolution.com

Posted in The Axial Age, World History and The Eonic Effect, Censored!, The Eonic Effect at 4:41 pm by nemo

I have been observing Google’s (then Yahoo’s and MSN’s) attempts to downlist history-and-evolution.com for some time. A recent check shows that the site, if you type ‘eonic effect’ into google, appears on page five (it’s the source of the term and should be listed first, as it once was), with a link to a minor page in the archives. Nothing else is referenced (although everything is indexed in memory, as far as I know. It once was. ) Yahoo and MSN have recently imitated this behavior.
It is not possible for a search engine to be that brain-dead without human intervention.

Remember, censoring the site you dislike will result finally in the censor of the site you do like, the loss of your free speech.

Meanwhile, visitors still come, six hundred page views today for World History & The Eonic Effect, not bad for such a hard book.
The Darwin and other establishments et al. must be afraid indeed of the data of the eonic effect (and the Axial Age).
Why shouldn’t they be: a falsification of Darwinian theory is sitting there, mocking them behind their propaganda game.

They are betting the public is too stupid or confused to figure out their lie.

Meanwhile the geeks at Google have transmogrified into a corporate dead zone.
What’s next after Google?

Note the point: these experts are lying to you.

The reign of silence

Posted in Censored! at 5:58 pm by nemo

Scordova at Uncommon Descent wants
UD readers to visit my site!
Then why not a simple link? That’s all it takes.

I have linked to UD, and Science Blogs hundreds of times, and yet I have NEVER received a single link in return.

Having blogged for two years and never had a discussion with any of these propaganda groups I have learned in the gut the way this system works to stiffle dissent, in two directions.

The public should realize that fact: anyone who wishes to make it Big Time has to be deceptive, if not lie. The powers that be don’t allow the truth. That’s true in academia, Big Science, and on the religious Right

An incompletely evolved human

Posted in Censored!, Evolution at 3:13 pm by nemo

New atheists, ancient argument
An incompletely evolved human is quite visible in the propensity to metaphysical views, on either side of the issues of divinity, soul, free will.

Hitchens blames the persistence of religion on what he regards as the fact that human beings belong to an incompletely evolved species. But both Hitchens and Dawkins find plenty of other villains to blame as well. They condemn everyone from religious moderates, who lend a cloak of respectability to religious fundamentalists, to left-wing “post-modernists,” who undercut the “modernist” assumptions essential to the religious views of the new atheists.

Google stealth tactics

Posted in Censored! at 7:35 pm by nemo

UD and Google: conservatives have some clout, but what about the little guy?

There are other tricks beside de-indexing, like deep-sixing material that is in fact indexed, but which doesn’t appear where it is supposed to. I strongly suspect this for the history-and-evolution.com site, which is listed on the third or fourth page if you type in ‘eonic effect’. This site has dozens of references to ‘eonic effect’ but is listed after many sites that have maybe one use of the term ‘eonic effect’, including an old site from geocities, now off the web, but which is still in Google’s memory banks! That can’t be chance.

However, please note that noone can tamper with the raw vocabulary in your indexed material, no matter what rank. If you discuss history, someone will find your page based on the raw vocubulary/concepts/ of that page, other things being equal. Thus my site has managed to attract a considerable stealth traffic from history students that Google can’t control ( I won’t give particulars), short of deleting you from the Google system, something they can’t really do (all this is of course part guesswork).
Paranoia? Compare Yahoo and Google on ‘eonic effect’ (disregarding ‘darwiniana citations which are anonymous under ‘nemo’) and you will have to conclude that either Google cheats or is a third rate search engine. The Yahoo system listings are far superior.

Still censored at technorati

Posted in Censored!, Evolution at 4:19 pm by nemo

The title speaks for itself.
So much for open enquiry on evolution
Not even ID blogs get that treatment.
I take that as a compliment: Darwinists are really afraid of me.

Censored: Daily Kos diary

Posted in Censored!, Evolution at 8:39 pm by nemo

Darksyde at Daily Kos interviews DR Wesley Elsberry who currently serves as the Information Project Director at the National Center for Science Education.

Terrific.

But what happened to my diary at Daily Kos?.
Censored, that’s what! The edit button quietly disappeared, and sending an email to anyone there to protest is hopeless.
That strategy here is digging its own grave, because the tide is against Neo-Darwinism over the long haul.
My innocent essays, e.g. Toward A Liberal Postdarwinism, might help here, but the Talk.Origins and NCSE gangs have taken over, I guess.

Google Censorship

Posted in Censored!, In the News, General at 11:27 pm by nemo

Don’t believe the Google hype. They are already censoring people in America even as we speak.
I have studied their system for five years now, and have learned the hard way as a Darwin critic. Type ‘Does Google Cheat?’ into my search engine here. (That data is obsolete, since I keep on the move these days).
They used to list all my webpages (at which site I won’t say), but no more. It is easy to see how it would be done properly by comparing that with Yahoo and MSN, which show the normal results.

But I know that googlebot has indexed them, I got over a thousand googlebot visits so far this month alone. So somewhere up the chain someone is tampering with the results. Here’s bot data,from webalizer (this does not refer to this website).

Totalitarian Google?

Posted in Censored! at 11:54 pm by nemo

[I have created a new category ‘Censored’ to list the harassment issues I get as a Darwin critic, here’s a first post]

Crroked Timber has a thread on Google Base

I don’t quite share the enthusiasm at this point. I posted a comment on Google’s devious tactics:

Welcome to the world of Totalitarian Google. Did you know that Google cheats? That it quietly sinks the rankings of certain sites?
I learned this the hardway in the Darwin debate. Some clever fellow behind the scences is manipulating site retrievals. Having studied this carefully over six months my initial disbelief has given way to conviction.
So I think we need a Google monitor.
It was always too good to be true, this Google mania.

I have withheld details due to paranoia. You can check out ‘Does Google Cheat?’ at http://darwiniana.com

Later I gave a link to
Does Google Cheat?
This post is now outdated, since I evacuated most of my material from http:// eonix.8m.com, but now the same thing is happening to my new site.
