Opposite to false belief, liposuction cannot make your unwanted fat disappear just like that. Undergoing plastic surgery may be an ideal option for most. Of course, that does not mean that if your skin is not where you want it to be that there is no hope for you. Your best bet is to gain more awareness through research.

The first thing you must understand is that there is no physical exercises that can reduce fat from a specific parts of the body. When you burn fat for energy, as during an aerobic activity, fat loss will occur systemically, i.e., from all over the body. But since fat distribution naturally varies from person to person, depending on inherited genetic factors, some people will tend to lose abdominal fat faster while others may lose fat at say hips or thighs faster. So do not compare your abdominal fat loss graph with others.

[...] The Gooble is unfair Posted in February 8th, 2010 by CosmicConservative in Blog things So I’ve been sorta idly wondering for a while why Andy’s Place seems to get so much google linkage when my own blog has been around much longer and gets very little google traffic in comparison. I suspected that perhaps Google was favoring it’s own product since Andy’s blog is on Blogspot (also known as “Blogger”) which is a blog farm owned by Google. Been joining several SEO contests in the last couple of years and only recently did I noticed that Google seems to be giving favors to its own products and services. Take for example YouTube. When it was not yet bought by Google, you don’t see videos in the search results. But now, just look at the Google search results. via Does Google favor its own?

It’s fair I think. I’m not an anti WordPress or what. Heto pa pansin ko, lakas ng algo ng blogger. Kahit may nauna na nagpost sa akin na blog site with the same content tapos hindi blogspot gamit nya, una pa rin ako sa engine nila. Tapos nagbigay pa ng pr 3 yung google sakin in 2 months. Nakakaloka! Buti na lang nag CD-blogspot ako hehe

just read this 2007 today (12/08), and i’ve always noticed Google has consistently given top preference to its subsidiaries/affiliates…..that’s also why I’ve kept my blogsites in “blogger.com” even though i’ve moved just recently most contents found in those sites to “wordpress” (which blog service i noticed recently to be more user-friendly)….but what more can i say about google? it’s just being very business-like in its behavior just like other huge businesses out there! & this is actually, being strategic! ha ha ha!

Yeah, as much as I love Google, sometimes it’s hard to take them seriously as a “resource” when they so blatantly put their own products in front of everyone. And let’s not even talk “don’t be evil”…

Perhaps google just trust blogger more because it has no broken links, perfect formatting and design perfection in their eyes.
My blogs always do better on google then on Yahoo or msn.

hey, well of course google will enter a direct video link from youtube on the google search, because that is part of their company, it’s fair enough in my opinion…

of course there are other public video databases, but there is always the chance of freudulent content, google’s mass of staff try to keep upto date on all content and make sure it’s correct and accurte, but the magority of that will be within it’s own database.

i don’t wanna cause a stir or anything but, google in general always keep in mind about the freedom of information, and it’s their main goal, even all the pirated content that is put on google, google got in a bit of trouble for all this, but they’ve been fighting to try and get videos of tv shows and movies on youtube for free (for us, using thier great skill at advertising, with out anoyence)

and video’s are only one example of what google does.

i wouldn’t compare google to microsoft, never, sure alot of microsoft’s staff are completly inocent of any branding and corporate sponsership, but there is a basis that staff have to work upon, and microsoft always force thier own premotion above the point of the product.

nice to read the blog, hope to hear from ya.

Wrong! Google Search does not favor any Blogspot, or Blogpots, blogshot or whatever! Gaining a good ranking on google search depends on the traffic your site is receiving, probably that guy’s old wordpress blog didn’t get so much traffic.

And speaking of traffic, your blog should be defined clearly in terms of keywords. I own a wordpress account, and by the Grace of God, it’s really getting a lot of hits because every post is being tagged accordingly.

Google is not favoring YouTube, it’s part of an upgraded feature of Google search that allows YouTube videos to be included in the search results. YouTube has the largest collection of videos.

Lesson: Use blogspot? NOPE! WordPress is way better than Blogspot! Try it.

that’s why i’m sticking it out with blogspot. though not as many themes and features compared to wordpress, blogspot is easy to learn. maybe if they have a premium blogspot service, I would gladly upgrade.

You are right on pointing out that big “G” is prioritizing their own backyard first before his neighbors. This is not new to me, I’ve seen this happening to one of my website. For example, the website that I am developing (social site for filipino – digg like site) – I was getting index by Google and getting 8K last month but now I am getting 5K and most of them when you search for keyword “ebenta” you are getting youtube videos link from my site. But the sad this is the link is not from my site but from youtube – Sad so when you search for example “ebenta video” on google, you are getting bunch of video link from my site but none is pointing to the site. This is just an example.

I guess for the Google-favoring-YouTube hypotheses, I think Google somewhat favors YouTube but not to the extent that people think they do. I guess people just really favor YouTube over Meta cafe, Revver, Vimeo, etc. that it seems Google overly favors YouTube. Agree? Disagree?

Search Google for “happy holidays from revver” for a counterexample. Or “minesweeper the movie”. (The result on the first is ironic.)

Eugene — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:20:11 +0000

Here’s a counterexample: search Google for “happy holidays from revver”. It doesn’t return a YouTube video as the first result, but it ironically returns a Meta cafe video. Hehehe.

Another counterexample: search Google for “minesweeper the movie”. It returns a College Humor video as the top result.
