Try it, search for "Google Trick for conspiracies."
It's a front page hit....actually it's number 1 excluding the youtube ones.
Any thread from ATS automatically gets sent to the top of their search list.

I apologize if you percieved my statement as a disagreement.
Common sense, to me, means 'simple,basic,direct,etc. example is: 1+1=2.
I was suggesting the word replacement just to keep my definition of 'common sense'. Here's my edited version of your post:
(editted quote)
If something is on the back page it's usually that it's not related to your keyword, or the website is new and has no back links, therefore no credibility in Googles(your) opinion.
Google doesn't(we don't) have the time to every day personally look at billions of individual websites, articles and videos and rank them based on content and quality for the billions of keyword combination's in the world.
I understand that google does(we do) not do this intentionally. It is that we(try this:Google) don't take the time to go through all the data and will only check the first couple of related items and be content with those thus keeping those items at the front. Yes that's common sense.
Now common sense tells me that everybody checking the last pages of thier searches is going to result in thier findings not being on the last page anymore.

I have a contention. When you report a link as being malicious it is most assured that Google handles it manually.
So when you say they wont hire people to go through links, you are technically wrong.
Also, you assume much. Unless you work at google and know all of their procedures, which is highly doubtful. Who's to say they don't go through some sites that are parsed through and the system deems them "reviewable by human eyes".
Who really knows, they don't divulge much about how they do anything. You coming here speaking like your their spokesman makes you quite pretentious.
From there, what if google is mandated by government to look into some pages with key terms and check them out to ensure their not radical, terrorist, or hacker web sites? Again, this is a possibility but I dont know for sure.
The reason I post this is because the way you talk is like your an official, which your not. Your a techie who has some insights on how technology works, so am I. Doesn't mean I know how google runs. Doesn't mean my guess is more right then anyone elses either.

Common sense? Try replacing the word 'Google' in your post with 'we/I/you/us'.
Personally I refuse to use google for the reason stated a few post above me. I used 'VROOSH' for years but for some reason, ever since ATT took over my Altel, I can't reach it anymore. Looking for a better one and am now sufficed using 'Dogpile',edit on 6-12-2011 by geo1066 because: (no reason given)
Yes, common sense. It's common sense that Google does not have the staff to personally oversee the ranking of billions of pages, for billions of different keyword variations. Suggesting that Google has humans sat around meddling with results if profoundly stupid and ignorant.
They use complex algorithms and scripts. There's no conspiracy.
