"SANDBOXED"/ BLACKLISTED BY GOOGLE
How does Atlas grow? Google search is one critically important way. People find Atlas when they do a word search in google ie "Obama birth certificate", "Obama odinga", "honor killings", "Obama campaign finance fraud" - stories that I broke or did groundbreaking work on and Atlas is usually in the top five of the search results. That's how folks find my work and generally I keep 15-20% of them as return readers. Regular Atlas readers know the media refuses to cover these stories - building readership is the only way to boost awareness in this increasingly dangerous world.
A couple of days ago I was wiped off google search pages. Yes, if you google Pamela Geller or Atlas Shrugs, I come up, that is not the issue. My work is not there, it does not come up in google's search results. It is critical to building Atlas that I be searchable.Youtube searches are still intact as are images.
Further my google search box (left sidebar) which I use almost constantly to search my site for reasearch (as do my readers) has been dramtically affaected. Input any term, any word in my search box and the same thing comes up - FORBIDDEN.
I have had to hire a separate security/consulting firm to get me back online. It is costly. I need your help. Anything you could contribute to help offset the cost - it's a lot of hours would be greatly appreciated.
You can paypal my email address writeatlas@aol.com - go here to paypal.
Or write me offline if you wish to send a check.
UPDATE: And my google ads, which used to throw off a few bucks a day, generate nothing now. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I juat want to be Atlas again in the googlesphere I earned it.
Is this just the start of ending the free speech on the net?
Upon first scanning I thought someone was writing from the view point of Ayn Rand talking about her novel in search rankings. :)
Where’s the FBI when you need them?...Don’t give up Pamela. Your posts have been outstanding. WE NEED YOU.
Google did the same thing with the ad accounts for a site for protesters and others critical of $cientology. The cult starting pouring $$$ into Google for ads....and, basically, ‘bought them’. I HATE Google. Bunch of commies. I would imagine Zero and supporters have ‘bought them’, too.
Well as quickly as Google grew, can’t liberty lovers give
our business to other alternative search engines who don’t
believe in censorship?
FR readers will be willing I’m guessing to bless organizations
who respect the 1st Amendment.
Anyone know a good way to protest directly to Google or the best way to hit them in the pocketbook?
What is the best alternative people? Dogpile? I tried Cuil by the ex-Google geeks but it is not as good.
Problem with Dogpile and other Meta Search Engines is that they include Google in the searches along with others.
Because it's about how the INDIVIDUAL needs to be the basis for a society's structure in order to be successful. It is NOT the oppressive regimes of supposed ‘equality for all’ that thrive and provide people with a better existence .
Someone said that Dogpile or other Meta Search Engines do not create revenue for Gurgle and no stored search records. Is that true?
How is this government censorship, again? Bush is still in office, he still runs the FCC. Little quick to the trigger here.
“According to a 1991 United States survey by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club, Atlas Shrugged was the book that made most difference in readers’ lives after the Bible. -”
THEN why did OBAMA win in 2008?
How does Atlas’s atheistic philosophy contradict our conservative ideas - or does it matter? I have always had a hard time reading Rand’s book because of the atheism - and I loose interest when her characters declare their none beleif.
I used to use Altavista when some other major browser was
being oppressive.
Not sure how good they are today but worth a try.
Well, I am reading news on a relative’s computer while out of town. I had googled “atlas shrugs” a few minutes ago, and it came up on top. Not sure what Geller thinks the problem is.
Learn to read better.
Try the search sidebar on his page and you will see the error message he describes.
People are forbidden from searching his site using google search tools from within his site. WHY?
Additionally, he was stating that when you search for content that is on his pages you will not get his pages.
He explicitly stated that if you search for atlas shrugs you would find it. But all of his indexed links are wiped out (deleted if you will). So someone searching on the Obama birth certificate story will not find his website.
