Another Google puzzle


Is Google search-blocking my "Australian Politics" blog? Maybe they just don't index it at all because it has few links to it but it is actually hosted on their servers so it is definitely in their database. Very strange.

They seem to be indexing "Political Corectness Watch" now so I would have thought that all my blogs would now be indexed. They all have links to one-another so one would have thought that indexing one would lead to the others.

The term I tested to see if they were indexing "Australian Politics" was:

"Was footballer Jarryd Hayne the victim of a false rape accusation?"

It appears here:

I tested another excerpt:

"Coles and Woolworths are big because they are good"

It occurs here:

Neither post on "Australian Politics" is returned by Google in response to a search but, rather crazily, Google delivers you to the second post on my blog of draft posts:

All rather crazy. They fail to deliver you to a post that is on their own servers but deliver you to a post that is hosted by someone else. And that blog has almost no links leading to it

And their deletion of critical posts about Covid is still going strong. My post of 4 July on "Dissecting Leftism" has vanished. You can however still read it on either of my backup sites:

http://jonjayray.com/ or http://johnjayray.com/

The post concerned is a report of an academic journal article so nothing is sacred to Google. Some things may not be said.

They are clearly one part of the great network of Leftist political organizations -- no longer just a search engine. Their old slogan "Don't be evil" seems to have been replaced by "Evil is good for you"
