Have you noticed that if you do a web search for Walmart Video on Google, all you get is news about renting video’s from Walmart?

There must be a way to get these engines to be picking up the 6000 showings of the "Walmart Video" as part of these searches. I’ve seen reference to showings in the brief descriptions of some entries. But I’ve been trying for 10 minutes using Google to bring up the webpage of the group that is promoting and selling that video.

I wonder if there is some interference going on here .....

  • Relax , do "Walmart movie" instead and it shows lots of screenings. ----fellow Canuck

  • yes, i do believe Google’s censoring has been steadily increasing - google news especially - there are minders, perhaps not the top guys at google, but maybe just a few rogue employees.

  • It’s not yet censorship. Try different engines and you get different results!

  • Well maybe they have a commerce deal in place with Walmart to sell their rubbish, but I did the search and if you just scroll a bit, the hits from about the 5th down are in fact about the film to which I believe you refer.
