Good Day Everyone,
Back around 2020, when I/We started seeing all the Conservative type of sites disappearing… I started to capture all the Conservative sites I could find and/or pull them back out of my history.
With all the content I had, I decided to stand up a Conservative site that would point to all those sites that were being de-listed/removed. I figured, since I was in IT and Cyber… that I knew something that they must not… I’d built other sites and got them ranked in the first pages of G—gle… why would this be any harder. What an arrogant and now humbling experience this effort has been.
Back around 2021 I did several searches for domain names that might be short, catchy and easily remembered; $15,000 later… hurdle one achieved: Right360.com (StartPage)
I designed the layout/requirements, hired a dev team and built the proof of concept (beta)… hurdle two achieved… so far, so good.
I worked with dev, over 9-months, to refine the site into a production model; released v1… hurdle three.I submitted all the sitemaps to the search engines… it took a couple of months to get indexed. Things were looking okay… Bing, DuckDuck, and Yahoo started ranking some of the pages; however, not G—gle. After a couple of years, we finally got a couple of pages ranked within G search. It also took multiple attempts to get added to the G Ad-Sense program with multiple denials along the way… we still have denials that we can’t get cleared.
Switching gears a little bit here… I don’t want to lose track of the thought.
When I sit back and ponder all the other issues that I’ve experienced along this journey… I also wondered who could be behind it. Who has the clout and “trust” and might be hiding behind the “Do no evil!” mentality. Somehow, some agenda is sync’ing all this censorship…I’ve applied to several affiliate programs, to help monetize the hosting/development of the sites. I’ve applied to Amazon multiple times over the years; qualified with the three qualifying sales… and then denied… rinse/repeat… I think we are on attempt nine. I’ve applied multiple times to eBay only to be told that the Right360 site poses a “threat” to the eBay community and the decision was final with no appeal. I’ve also applied, multiple times, to Commission Junction and Skim Links only to be told that Right360 doesn’t align with their community standards. It’s been a 100% denial after denial… so consistent that it must be organized by someone hosting a blacklist for all these type of companies to reference who can and can’t play in their big tech world.
The few times I’ve been able to make contact with support, I’ve asked what the violation was/is and/or the standard that isn’t being met. I get nothing back… just denial… try again. I think the main reason for our repeated denials is guilty by association… we link to all the things liberals hate: Christian, Conservative, Constitution, Breitbart, NewsMax, OAN, etc.
We have filed two complaints with the Department of Justice and have started a blog of our efforts on our Right360 Forums, just in case your curious.
