Interesting, but there are more hits on Google than Bing: 956,000 to 595,000.

Even more interesting is the fact that in the previous comment by Chris (Dec. 26, 2009) there were 5,420,000 hits on Google for “climategate.” A year later we’re less than a fifth of that.

Here it is the end of 2010.

Funny thing happened when I was reviewing the Top Ten WUWT year end review. I went to the Climategate link, then thought I’d do a Google and Bing search on the word Climategate (www.google.ca). On the google search only one hit appears in the first five search pages that matches a wattsupwiththat.com link (it’s a Lord Monckton hit), NO “wattsupwiththat.com/climategate/” HITS.

http://www.bing.com has the “wattsupwiththat.com/climategate/” link as the third choice on the first page of a climategate search. Me thinks we are still being web censored by Google.

Google isn’t biased, they even made a website to show how unbiased they are on the climate change topic

Just checked number of hits on ‘climategate’ on both Google and Startpage, the result is very interesting. Startpages’ results have predictably increased from around 52 million hits on the 6th of December to 67 million hits today on the 15th of December. No surprise there. However, on the 6th of December, Google returned around 31 million hits but has now decreased to 19 million. A rather peculiar algorithm they are using there. Political tampering? I expect so. I have saved dated screenshots of this search over the past 10 days that I will pass along to Lord Monckton when he has finished his work in Copenhagen.

Fixed!
Google.com and Google.co.uk are suddenly now autosuggesting for “climategate” and “harry_read_me”.

google jumped the gun and rested it’s ladder on a topic that is just not true. If you really look into it, the contrary evidence is overwhelming. It was a mistake and they won’t admit it. They have too much invested. They should be ashamed. Pick a real topic to get behind like world hunger or something useful.

If you are using IE8, go to Tools > Internet Options > Search, click on Bing and set it to default. You may also want to remove Google.

I am done with google as a search engine, and I will be migrating my email as soon as possible away from GMail.

As of Wed. Dec. 9 Google (Australia) has NOT added the word “climategate” to autosuggest. Our new Liberal leader should look into this.

This is sick.
i own climategatefacts.com and i was number 1 for almost 1 week. and now i cant even come up for the term “climategatefacts” “climategate facts” .

i have run seo test on the html and it comes out perfect.
i have putt online 100s of websites with key domain names, and this is very strange.

I see there is a website now on the domain name climategate.com that went up last week, When you search in Bing for climategate the site shows up in the results, but not in Google. If you key in climategate.com it will show up, but not if you just key in the keyword. And it's a real site. Shouldn't that site come up? Or will it take a little time to move up the index? I thought having the actual domain name of the search term -- given it's a real site -- would help. Interesting thread, btw.

I have solved the auto suggest question:

Actually if you add them together (equal 10th place that is) that places google in equal 5th spot. No wonder ClimateGate doesn’t auto-suggest.

Google has shown utter contempt for it’s users through censorship. Bing seems to have better results. Is there any search engine that we can use that does not censor the news.? Cuil works but is not good enough at aggregating news.

So where can we get uncensored news aggregated?
