Optimizing News Sites For Google News
malibucreek writes "More trouble for Google News? Yesterday, it was Google News censoring stories for China. Today, the Online Journalism Review details a potential conservative bias in the site's algorithm for news search results. The story also includes some details about how Google ranks stories on its news page. Turns out that on Google News, backlinks do *not* improve search positioning."
Yahoo: Don't go to Google for news. They have a machine that decides what news relates to what you're looking for. No you should come to our sight, because we KNOW what is really important. You should always come to us for your marching orders...I mean...uhh...news.
I like Googles approach MUCH better. So, there were some anti-Kerry links when you did a search for John Kerry. If as his supporter, you think he is beyond reproach, then type in "John Kerry -"bad news"". Either that or put your fingers in your ears and say "la-la-la-la..."
(Same for Bush, Badnarik, etc...)
Aah, change is good. -- Rafiki
Yeah, but it ain't easy. -- Simba
and completely leave Yahoo news alone. They will not even run a convervative piece on the front page unless the story clearly slams something else conservatives did in the exact same story.
Yahoo news is some completely liberal but no one complains about that.. do they?
Just three more hours seapeople and you can finally take me away from this crappy God Damned planet full of hippies
...leftists, however, do. Just one more sign of Google's superiority over other obviously biased search engines.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, but the neocon experiment has been a total bust.
Again, just for the record, the word "neocon" is the 21st-century equivalent of "nigger" or "kike." It means "A person that I hated." I just want to make that clear for anybody who happens to wander by.

No link = no credibility.
LOL! I guess we really do live in the Internet age now.
Wrong, I quoted CNN, which reported that the information came from the NYPD.
Yes, information that was later reported as grossly exaggerated --for the first 24 hours NYPD press relations just passed on Answer's number instead of giving their own estimate.
Back it up with corroborating information or STFU.
Translation: "I like my head right where it is, thank you very much. I prefer to leave it crammed up my ass, and I will thank you to quit expecting me to pay attention to the world around me."
Whatever you say, man. Whatever you say.
