When you start with the WRONG premise, you get faulty reasoning and logic, tedster.

So, FIRST we have to RE-visit history with the MORE INFORMED VIEWPOINT so that at least we can find better FUTURE solutions, yes?

The anti-whitehouse bomb was just one very visible example of a more widespread problem with the existing algo

Wrong premise, wrong assumption.

Please name the thousands of sites that had Google bombed their sites to the top and weren't on-topic?

Or are you claiming the THOUSANDS of posters in the -950 threads are there due to "bombing" their way to the top?

IN FACT the whitehouse bomb was horribly obvious for years before Goog did a whiff of anything about it

AND,

here in the states, we STILL have this little thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH in this other little thing called the CONSTITUTION

The "bomb" was only embarrassing to those with a STRONG political agenda. And certainly not "corrupting the results"

(Again, I ask you, as I asked you 2 years ago, who EXACTLY was searching for "miserable failure" looking for "miserable failure products, widgets, info" and getting whitehouse.gov "corrupting" their search?)

This thread is about some new comments that give a bit of extra insight (one part runs only a couple times a year)

Perhaps you missed my above argument about the Google bomb algo and the -950 algo?

What more "insight" do you want?

If people want solutions to the -950, I suggest they go back and re-read potentialgeek's thorough posts of his recoveries, experiments, and tests.

The title of this thread is "Googlebomb Algo" and until one REALLY understands that the algo was only SERIOUSLY implemented from pressure of unknown POLITICAL sources, in regards to "miserable failure" then we are talking AROUND the issue, so as not to cause a "ruckus"

This is a disservice to the thread topic, webmasters, AND Google.

So again, i postulate as in my FIRST Post, that the algo is STILL FAULTY, both in it's effectiveness for "bombing" ON-TOPIC anchor texts and OFF-TOPIC (according to who again?) anchor texts.

It doesn't filter EITHER very well and the CONSEQUENCES are what affects WEBMASTERS on this board.

I don't know of any information resource that is without political agenda - none whatsoever, not in any medium. That's not the way things work, anywhere anytime, on planet earth.

Thanks for the insight Tedster.

Since their political agenda is AFFECTING the SERPS, seems like one might want to be a "watchdog" about such thing, yes?

Unless you don't CARE about your SERPs?

Then of course, it's better to roll over, play dead, and find a LESS politically motivated business, where no one has to worry about having the blood pressure raised by politics OR unexplainable "heavy handed" penalties?
