Sponsored Link on Google Regarding the Cyprus Problem

Postby Me Ed » Sun Dec 19, 2010 12:14 pm

In the UK, when you type "Cyprus Problem" in Google, the top link is a sponsored site that puts a very one-sided (Turkish) view of the Cyprus problem.

http://www.solution2cyprus.info

It presents a lot of half-truths as "facts", and starts with the strap line:

This is not a hate site. It's a small personal effort to present correct info.

The poor quality of the site should let people see through the half-truths presented on the site.

No, it doesn’t work like that for all.

In IE versions 6/7/8 go to…

Tools > Internet Options > Programs > Manage Add-ons

…where you can configure the search in a dozen ways yielding different results.

Btw, if your Home Page is Google it doesn’t necessarily mean that your Search Engine is Google!

See the Add-ons to understand the trickery that goes on by Microsoft unbeknown to many people.

NB: You can highlight and Remove/Disable add-ons.

I don't get that. However, from here, whenever typing in Cyprus problem or Cyprus Forum to come here - I always get some hate posts from Lady Horrorcall right up the top of the results and look what turned up now

(she was throwing her rattle out of her pram missing GR lol!)

The usual 'fucking Turks' smatterings too - she does more to promote the TC side of the argument than any TC website ever could.

Some while ago I suggested that she, if it is a she, might be Turkish.
