‘At Google we do not manually change results. For example, if we find for a particular query that result No. 4 should be result No. 1, we do not have the capability to manually change it. We made that decision not to put that capability in the algorithm—we have to go and actually change the algorithm.”
Contrast that with the story from 2 days ago from the official Google Blog:
“We created about 100 “synthetic queries”—queries that you would
never expect a user to type, such as [hiybbprqag]. As a one-time
experiment, for each synthetic query we inserted as Google’s top result a unique (real) webpage which had nothing to do with the query. Below is an example:”
There is no way to reconcile those two statements. If Google sees
someone at number 4 that they want at number 1, they can remove the
number 4 result with their manual spam filter, and then manually insert
it to number 1.
This is not nitpicking: they have the capability and they have used
it. They have used it more than for legality or for spam, they used it
at the very least for their recent PR stunt.
This is on par with “Read My Lips, No new Taxes”
They lied. They were caught.
Do not trust Matt Cutts.
Do not trust Udi Manber.
DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE.
They are bold face liars.
They can and do manually change their search results. They can and do
manually put whoever they want at number one: regardless of what they
have said in the past.
