With
about 1 billion health searches happening on Google every day, it's not
hard to understand why censoring natural health information serves a
multitude of interests, not the least of which is Big Pharma's bottom
line.
A new analysis released
by Bob Troia, Twitter handle Quantified Bob, reveals how health sites
have been decimated by Google in the period tracked from April 15th,
2018 to August 15th, 2019.
He posted the following
graphic on Twitter on August 25th, 2019, showing as high as a 99.87%
decrease in visibility through Google search results, and a 81.14% drop
for Greenmedinfo.com.
Mayo Clinic and WebMD, on the other hand, saw a 59.98% and 30.71%
increase, respectively. The difference in treatment between natural and
conventional health websites has lead many to speculate that this was a
manually executed penalty targeting the alternative medicine space. One
of our colleagues, a Google SEO expert, posted his opinion on the matter
here: “Google Takes Position in Controversial Vaccine Safety Debate.”
Be forewarned, the rabbit hole goes deep. Google’s motivations and bias
stretch all the way to election manipulation, as we discuss here: "Google Just Scrubbed Natural Health Websites From Its Search Results; Whistleblower Explains How and Why."
However, you don’t have to fall into the stereotypes of a health freedom
advocate, vaccine choice, or natural health obsessed organization to
feel the pain of Google’s purge. Examine.com, for instance, which prides
itself on being entirely science-based, and who has written about how
“you do not need to worry about MSG,” “Curcumin is not a panacea,” and
“Diet soda is unlikely to hurt your health,” also got hit hard. The
founder recently wrote an article to answer the question: “Why has Examine.com disappeared from search results?”
He and his organization played by Google’s rules, yet have all but
disappeared from the search results. The same happened to Joe Cohen,
founder of Self-Hacked, who wrote an excellent article on the subject
here: “Google Is Taking Censorship of Health Websites to The Next Level.”
