Dear Google and A.A.
As far as I know, Google's claim that it doesn't tamper with its algorithm is not correct and does not apparently correspond to the facts. Quoted in Opinion Journal:
"Until February 2003, a user searching for a guide to the English city of Chester
would have been presented with "Chester's guide to molesting young girls" as the second entry. After officials from Chester complained, Google removed the site.' So Google is apparently not telling the truth about the inviolability of its algorithm. Child Molesting is a reason to tamper with the algorithm, but Nazism is not, accordig to them.
Google rankings are based in part on popularity of Web sites linked to a particular site and the number of links to that site and their nature.
The algorithm is explained here apparently -

The reason that Jewwatch is ranked so high is probably that other Web sites that use the word "Jew" a lot and perhaps have the word "Jew" in the link text
link to Jewwatch. Of course these are all anti-Semitic sites.
As far as I know, Google's claim that it doesn't tamper with its algorithm is not correct and does not apparently correspond to the facts. No success was really achieved, because in a very brief time Jewwatch or bible believers or another hateful site will return to top rank.
The real question is why Google adheres to a meaningless algorithm that gives a different rating for Jew and Jews, and probably for Dog and Dogs, because it can't recognize plural or adjectivees. Of course, it is complex to make such an algorithm (Cat and Catty are not the same) but if it the algorithm is wrong, the results should be adjusted.
