Google Bias and Blacklisting

If you are still not convinced that there is such a thing as Google Bias and Blacklisting, there is a simple test that you can try. In May 2016, I wrote an article for my blog called ‘Living in Remote Thailand’. Today, I noticed in my logs that my blog had been flagged for that key phrase five times this month.

So, I entered it into Google, but my article did not appear on the first five pages, despite the fact that the search phrase appeared in very few of the results. How can that be?

I tried a few other search engines and these are the results for my article:

Bing: number 3 (after two paid entries)

Yahoo: number 3 (after two commercial entries)

DuckDuckGo: number 1

Ecosia: number 1

Google: not in first 50

Therefore, the conclusion is simple. If you want a load and I really mean A LOAD of commercial junk thrown at you when you are only looking for the answer to a simple question, then go for Google, but if you want facts, plain and simple, the others are a better bet.

You may be thinking that this is a one off, but I have further evidence that my work has been hidden by Google. I have a popular series of six books called Behind The Smile. The oldest of them is from 2012 and the website is from the same era.

Type Behind The Smile into the above search engines and see what you get. I’ll save you the trouble:

Bing: number 3

Yahoo: number 5

DuckDuckGo: number 8

Ecosia: number 9

Google: number 38

Sometimes, I can’t find it all, but my real point is that Google always puts commercial, paying, companies ahead of facts, because they don’t care if you find what you want, they want you to buy something, so that they can prove that their system works for advertisers in order to justify their fees.

Carry out your own tests on Google Bias and Blacklisting and I am sure that you will discover as much corruption of the pure search results and poor reporting as I did.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
