Google Changes Its Search Algorithm to Exclude Sites Like SteemIT
In my opinion in an effort to eliminate fake news the politically correct Google has altered its popular search algorithm to exclude sites like SteemIt, Reddit, and others.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J209JImtRrE/hqdefault.jpg

I learned this by watching a 12 minute video from Clif High, who performs various searches of the internet to create his webbot report.  I would say he knows a few things about searches.

# Has anyone else noticed the changes in the Google search?
In my opinion this will affect one's ability to find topics/posts on SteemIt using the Google Search.

Just did a Google search in .com and .com.ec and steemit came up a treat! A cleaned out browser, clearly!

@etcmike · 
Thanks for checking.

When I went to Google Search and typed in "feederwatch science" on the second page was my SteemIt post.  I am a Google user and have a YouTube account.  I have noticed they are customizing search results for what they think I am looking for based on my history. 

Do you have any Google accounts like gmail or YouTube? Just a Yes or No answer.  I would like to know if non-Google account holders get the same search results.

Thanks and Steem on,
Mike

@merej99 · 
Thank you for turning me on to Clif's video! I will definitely be following his YouTube channel. The monetary and traffic implications to sites cast under the broad banner of fake news and censored material is definitely going to hurt.  

Now, out of curiosity, I just did a google search of "merej99 Steemit" and I can tell you that almost all of my Steemit posts are not appearing anymore! The ones that have survived are the ones associated or backlinked from other sites. I'm actually kind of pissed about this because my topics are nowhere near "woo-woo" material and yet here we are.

@etcmike · 
Clif High does not post a lot of videos like some YouTube vloggers.  He has an interesting back story too.   You also may want to visit his website too (if you have not done so already).

Thank you for checking the Google Search results and confirming Clif's findings.

Steem on,
Mike
