Google boss double values

Search Engine Land is a news and information site which specializes in search engine marketing, searching issues and the search engine industry.  It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how Google, Yahoo and Bing work. 86 percent of its readers are purchase decision makers with at least 1/3 spending more than $500,000 annually on behalf of their clients.

Search Engine Land is reporting on how the current Google CEO and future Chairman, Eric Schmidt, tried to get his own employees to whitewash some facts that Google Search brought up about him

“
One day Denise Griffin got a call from Eric Schmidt’s assistant. “There’s this information about Eric in the indexes,” she told Griffin. “And we want it out.” In Griffin’s recollection, it dealt with donor information from a political campaign, exactly the type of public information that Google dedicated itself to making accessible. Griffin explained that it wasn’t Google policy to take things like that out of the index just because people didn’t want it there. After she hung up the phone, she freaked out. Doesn’t Eric know that we don’t do that?

She called her boss, Sheryl Sandberg, and they had several conversations before they finally trudged up to Eric’s office and told him it wasn’t Google’s job—nor should it be—to filter his personal information.

Google still returns relevant results for Schmidt’s political contributions.
