Google, The Big Engine That Should (not do what they are doing).

I found that Google has manipulated their search results by requiring searchers to enter multiple search terms separated by commas in order to find my site. Otherwise my website www.pinespringsgolfcourse.com is not even in their results ranking according to www.googlerankings.com and my own google tool bar by entering a single search keyword phrase. I have tested it up to 1,000 positions. Not there.

When entering any of my search terms as a single keyword phrase, the only way searchers can locate me is via Google’s Adwords Ads. They show up when using only a single keyword phrase, as they should.

But, the manipulation is clearly evident when you enter three or more of my search terms separated by commas.

Then I rank #1, but there are no Adwords Ads on the page with the other regular listings. Strange, uh?

Their Adwords ads only show up with my adwords ad when you enter a single search term. This is normal and Google knows very well no one enters multiple search terms or phrases separated by commas.

Therefore, the ads do not show up when entering multiple search terms. They are programmed to show up with one term for the Adwords ads as my website is manipulated to only come up with multiple terms with separated by commas.

Further, even two search term phrases will not pull me up. The searcher must enter three or more search terms to see my regular listing separated by commas.

You can see the evidence for yourself at http://www.pinespringsgolfcourse.com...e_ranking.html. I have taken pictures of my browser and the google ranking tool and posted them to prove my findings. I have documented in detail what I am claiming.

See for yourself and keep in mind that I’m surely not the only one this is happening to. I posted a little information at Webmaster World a few weeks ago when my regular listings went MIA after signing up in the PPC program with Google and another company. I was furious and the other company gave in and “relisted” all my listings with all search terms. Google would not.

After repeated request from me asking where is my website was they just kept sending back emails stating everythig except where my site was. I told them I was not complaining about whether I was number 1 or 5 or 800. The point was that google bot had visited my site repeatedly but I was missing. I found out why I was missing.

After that post someone posted a reply stating the exact same thing happened to them. I have read many similar complaints. I can verify mine.

Everyone having problems with positioning should test their search terms, but I suspect they have other ways to hide websites also.
