> Despite the fact that I've had around 50 interviews and countless articles written about my disclosure, my website zachvorhies.com doesn't show up on Google's search index, even when using the exact url as a query! I am not sure what is happening but I directly searched for your website : zachvorhies.com on Google (in Australia, if that matters), which returned the website as the first result: https://i.imgur.com/Z7RTsuE.png https://i.imgur.com/Z7RTsuE.png

    I would think the quotes would make a difference. I was not using quotes, does using quotes in the US still return the website? I would use a VPN and test it out but I am at work right now.

      Not using quotes, the first result I get is his twitter account, and the second is a link to a Project Veritas piece about this document leak he describes. Hardly seems like he's getting buried.

        Additionally, if you search "site:zachvorhies.com" you get the site. So it isn't de-indexed. It just isn't ranking well.

Actually the favicon is a headshot. https://www.zachvorhies.com/favicon.ico https://www.zachvorhies.com/favicon.ico And that's also the icon in the page source: <link rel=”shortcut icon” href="favicon.ico" type=”image/x-icon” /> I wonder why Google shows a Q.

  I think the only time Australia has been part of some sort of European organization or group is when Australia competed in the Eurovision. Anyhow, I would be interested to know what results you get in the EU.

  I'm in the US and I get the same search results. Although if I put in your name, I get your Twitter instead. Not sure why anyone would be searching for a dot com instead of going to it.

    Same for me in Australia, searching for the name results in the Twitter handle showing up, and then a WikiSpooks websites and so forth. The website isn't even on the first page. I think that's rather concerning, that searching for a person's won't return their website but rather a twitter feed and other websites that have possibly optimized for SEO.

  Australia isn't in the EU. For what it's worth, I'm in Australia and have the same search results as erklik.
