Google didn't censor search results to weed out Mulley.net

Just to help clear up some of the misunderstanding that's been going around the Irish blogosphere today, Adam Lasnik from the Google Search Quality Team has commented with an explanation -

"Hey, I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy (big X-Files fan... well, of the early years at least), but I must respectfully note that there's no nefarious banning that's gone on here.

While it may be seen as unfortunate timing, some pages of mulley.net are currently not shown in our search results due purely to algorithmic factors... nothing manual or otherwise intentional about it.

It's quite possible that this may change as we continue to update our algorithms regularly.

Regards,
Adam, on behalf of the Search Quality Team at Google."

Thanks Adam for your input.
