"100% Proof Google is Keeping Conspiracy Sites Down"
This is not quite right because it all depends on how you type in the URL you're searching for. The Google link function/service is a bit fishy. It also depends on how all the other sites have added their link and what part of the URL that they have used as hypertext.
For comparison type in these two:
(I've linked these examples to Google but some browsers might screw up with the code so type them in manually in Google to verify the results)
link:http://www.infowars.com (2,960)
link: http://www.infowars.com (167,000) (Observe that there is a space added right before the address in this one... and this will generate more hits.)
I don't know why this is the case, but this is how Google by default provide their service.
You'll also get different results if you delete the "www. " in the URL
link: infowars.com (341,000) (Even more hits)
And without that space again:
link:infowars.com (2,960)
For comparison this is what happens if you punch in CNN.com
link: http://www.cnn.com (1,790,000)
And this is without the space:
link:http://www.cnn.com (243,000)
If you add "http://" you'll also get different results.
This has more to do with how Google have scripted this function than it has to do with a conscious conspiracy against a few specific sites.

100% Proof Google is Keeping Conspiracy Sites Down
"Link Relevance" Suppressed on Alternative Media
By Lucus Drador | theultimateconspiracy.com
As if it were not bad enough that we are censored by the main stream media, now there's a new type of suppression being implemented upon conspiracy related websites and alternative media sources.
It's called Link Relevance Suppression, and it's being used on most of the alternative media websites to lower traffic being driven to them by the popular search engine Google.
It's also being used in the opposite way to "Promote" Neo-Con supporting websites by giving them double the "Link Relevance"
Let me explain how Google indexes sites that go into the search cue when someone types in certain keywords relating that site.
Google has many different criteria when it decides how close to the top a website gets, but the main and most important one is Link Relevance. It simply means in laymen's terms;
The more sites that link to your site, the higher you go on the list.
There is a simple way to check on Google how many other websites are linking to your website. You go to Google and type in the word link: before the web address, for example;
link:http://www.theultimateconspiracy.com
Now here is where the proof is that Google has implemented some kind of script that is giving all the alternative media sites less that 1/4th of the Link Relevance that they deserve.
If you go to Google and simply type in http://www.yourwebsite.com you will find the REAL number of sites that have a link back to your website. This does not mean that the sites are being added to the Link Relevance, it only shows that they have the link on their website.
Want proof? Let's do some searches of various alternative media related websites and see what we get.
Click the links to see results;
link:http://www.infowars.com
http://www.infowars.com
Now notice that the "Link Search" brings up 2,960 pages that are linked back to http://www.infowars.com, but when you look at the actual numbers of sites with links to http://www.infowars.com the real number is 207,000.
How about;
link:http://www.prisonplanet.com
http://www.prisonplanet.com
You get 2,530 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 331,000.
link:http://www.whatreallyhappened.com
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com
You get 2,840 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 111,000.
link:http://www.theultimateconspiracy.com
http://www.theultimateconspiracy.com
You get 0 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 56.
They are even doing it to popular alternative media sites like Huffingtonpost.com
link:http://www.huffingtonpost.com
http://www.huffingtonpost.com
You get 47,000 "Link Relevance", but the real number is 851,000.
Now, let's turn the tables and do a link search on a popular Neo-Con supporting website called Hotair.com, run by the Fox News Shill Michelle Malkin.
link:http://www.hotair.com
http://www.hotair.com
You get 11,400 "Link Relevance", and the real number is 526.
How about doing a search on Michelle Malkin's personal site.
link:http://www.michellemalkin.com
http://www.michellemalkin.com
You get 38,200 "Link Relevance", and the real number is 15,900.
Notice how the numbers are flipped?
This should have ANY webmaster up in arms. Blatant censorship being implemented to keep the alternative media down and promote the Neo-Con Draconian agendas.
Did Google not think that somebody would figure this out eventually?
Did they not think that this very noticeable censorship would go unchecked forever?
I urge ALL Webmasters, Alternative Media Users, and anybody who cares about how sites are indexed on Google to contact them en mass and state your dissatisfaction about suppressing "Link Relevance".
If Google gave sites like Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com the "Link Relevance" that they deserve, these alternative media sites would be in direct competition with Main Stream Media sites that so dominate the Internet as we know it today.
