The internet is basically a town hall meeting where everyone has a
right to speak, but those days are numbered. It seems the gatekeepers,
aka the search engines, like Google, have decided what they deem
'appropriate'. In the instance of Judicial-Inc, they found the pages
about Iraqi/Israeli ambushes meritless, and obscene. When it came to the
butchery of the Romanovs, the page needed to be censored. When a
mysterious Medal of Honor Act for Jewish-Americans was questioned, the
offending web was censored for being 'unpatriotic'.
The Mysterious Algorithms
Short of a history professor reading every page, this is all done
with a program. So what can a program or robot see? It could see a
page structure, the words used, and the popularity of a page. Popularity
is determined by readers, and the amount of sites linking to you.
The explanation that thousands of factors enter in, is total
nonsense. When you type in "Irma Grese Nazi Belsen Hung" you may
get 332 choices, and the last writer is number 332.
At that point, he works his way forward by the amount of readers,
linking websites, and articles mentioning your article.
EBAY Formula
The buyers submit a form on their purchasing experience, and this
makes up the seller's ranking. EBAY just keeps the score.
Is There A Papal Decree Here?
These clowns are a public company, with advertisers, and
stockholders.
