Okay, here goes, my original moon landing conspiracy, though surely other people have noticed.

I typed "moon landing" in google www.google.ca... , to try to research the conspiracy theories floating around after that fox documentary. Now what would you expect to find?

I expected to find Nasa.gov saying 1969 mankind accomplished their greatest feat ever, landing on the moon.

what i found however, on the very first hit, was a conspiracy theory.

this is an excerpt from the page:

One thing that I would like to call to attention, is that I am not an expert on anything that is written in this report. I don't know much about camera's, or non-atmospheric conditions, or physics or anything. I am just a senior in high school, and about the only thing that I know professionally is how to run movie projectors. I challenge all that read this page to find something wrong with it, and tell me about it, so I can more accurately disprove one of the most historical events of the century..... The Landing on the Moon.


Okay... so when you type moon landing in google, you get a conspiracy page made by a highschool student who doesnt know anything about anything. Then the next who knows how many are all ridiculing the idea that the moon landings could have been faked, then eventually you will find more conspiracy theory sites, far down in the results.

In case some of you dont know how a search engine gets its search results, refer to www.searchengines.com...

Google's most important ranking mechanism is link popularity (how many pages link to the page in question, also, if the pages linking to it have good link popularity). So how does a terrible conspiracy page by a highschool student get to the top of the list, above nasa even? why does the next conspiracy theory site appear so far down the list that i cannot even find it? Well... because they wanted you to see the crappy conspiracy page, so that when you look at the next 20 or 50 or whatever results all making fun of the first page, or fox's documentary, you would just assume that we did in fact land on the moon.

One good site ive found on the moon landings is www.xenophilia.com...

here is a geocities page about moon landings... www.geocities.com...

the search engine doesnt work like that... you would constantly see free pages at the top of the results when you search for anything. companies would try to host on geocities and free servers all the time to get their ranking first.

i looked it up... batesmotel.8m.com has a 1607 link popularity wheras freeservers.com has 5,745,865 and nasa has 1,603,252 as its link popularity
