I don't agree with anything your saying at all about Google. In fact, through some research we were looking at last year, Google is in fact manipulating site rankings. There are a number of many taboo subjects you can go google, and common information for that topic is not readily available. A perfect example of this is searches for "suicide." More specifically, how to commit suicide, painless ways to commit suicide, etc... When you do a search for this stuff, majority of the top rankings all come back to suicide prevention stuff. I haven't looked at it in quite some time, and just did a quick search on "painless ways to commit suicide" and the very top ranking site was a page with graphic pictures of people who were unsuccessful and what went wrong, horror stories, stories about going to hell, and just about everything else you can think of that would try to talk someone out of doing it, and then a crisis hotline number at the bottom of the page. Google use to be much worse at burying this stuff, but then it got out in the open they were in fact doing it, and I notice now it is not as edited as it once was, but majority of the stuff is to persuade you from doing it, rather than how to do it. If it wasn't being manipulated at all, then why is it that prevention stuff always comes up the highest in it's rankings, when you specialize your search with key words? In fact, if it wasn't manipulated or edited, then why is this the very first thing that comes up on every search you do related to the topic "Need help? In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline"
You are wrong in what you are saying if the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is always at the top of the list. Google is not only run by marketing, but it is absolutely run by censorship as well.edit on 6-12-2011 by Awoken4Ever because: (no reason given)

Is there a way to jump directly to the last page?

Google can't omit results because of too many variables (google id of the website, ips and nameservers, sites are subited to google more than once, archiving) so its stupid for them to create a ban list for crawlers to omit so they just send websites that contain certain words and strings to the last page even though it has a google rank of 10.
And this is not new, i used to do this for my homework and i got the best articles from those dark corners.
Another good way to search on google is to use their tools (+ - and quotes) you can get better results using them.

You didn't bother to actually look at it did you? You just looked at the door, and moved on. One needs to simply open it and walk in to really see what is inside.
I didn't even get to finish typing in the full search term and look what it already pulled up for me. I don't have cookies saved on my machine, and it is scrubbed down with CCleaner, so it's not going off of anything that was previously in my browser from when I looked last.
Go back and do it again, and actually open up this specific site that is at the top of the ranking I have circled for you:
If you want to understand things, you need to fully explore it Not just look at the door and move on. I am saying that kindly as a hint in general, not trying to be an ass to you
Hope this helps.

Google thrives where privacy does not. If you're like most internet users, Google knows more about you than you might be comfortable with. Whether you were logged in to a Google account or not, they know everything you've ever searched for, what search results you clicked on, what news you read, and every place you've ever gotten directions to.
Most of the time, thanks to things like Google Analytics, they even know which websites you visited that you didn't reach through Google. If you use Gmail, they know the content of every email you've ever sent or received, whether you've deleted it or not. They know who your friends are, where you live, where you work, and where you spend your free time. They know about your health, your love life, and your political leanings. These days they are even branching out into collecting your realtime GPS location and your DNS lookups.
In short, not only do they know a lot about what you're doing, they also have significant insight into what you're thinking.
