Showing bias - Google
Google's supposed corporate
Code of Conduct is
Don't be evil.
It seems that this is slipping -- hence this request from Anthony Watts at
Watts Up With That:
A request: +1 Us for Google�s Sake
A week or so ago I found out about Google�s +1 program, which allows anybody to uprate websites that participate, so that users can boost that site�s search rankings.
As has been found recently, Google has staff of people who actively downrate websites based on a number of factors, one of which is according to reports, to downgrade sites that don�t agree with the �consensus� about AGW, or which allow for a diversity of views on the topic.
Because of this, WUWT�s google search rankings have become so repressed that you simply can�t find us when searching on terms like �global warming� or �climate change�.
What follows is documentation and the way to circumvent this.
A Google account is needed (gmail or whatever).
Talk about blatent...
UPDATE: Another example of this bias is reported here:
Googlegate?
