What does Google have to say about resistanceisfruitful?

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged about blogging, a hobby that I take seriously, but doesn’t always fit well with the larger purpose of resistanceisfruitful. Thanks to Google, I can make a case that there really is a connection.

I have noticed a shift in the kinds of traffic being sent to this blog from Google since moving to a new domain at the first of the year. More than five years of data collected by Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools has been reset and are gradually being replaced with new information since the move. The results are probably of more interest to me than it is to readers, but who am I to assume that?

The most popular search terms resulting in visits to this blog offer no real surprises. They mostly relate to stories that have not been widely covered elsewhere. There are dozens of variations, so in the interest of space I’ve taken the liberty of consolidating them here:

gos blank
emery taylor
baby rico
ruggiero
autopsy results for charles “gos”

(Note: I have copy/pasted the search terms below exactly as they were entered into Google’s search engine. Some of them are a testament to Google’s ability to figure out what the heck people are really trying to ask!)

Nearly as frequent are search terms that show the strong interest some people have in quitting their ARVs, and the frequency with which I am seeing these recur is what actually prompted me to share this information with readers today. This evidence bolsters my argument that the current “guidelines” for treating HIV-Affecteds with cocktails of pharmaceutical drugs is unacceptable and will never be successful, given the very justifiable resistance to them by patients.

stories of people who quit arv’s
testimonys of people who quit arvs to alternative treatment

what happens when you stop taking arvs

Some people are looking for patients satisfied with their choice to take ARVs:

20 years still taking arvs
tested negative after eighteen years of using arvs

There are those who are apparently researching AIDS dissidence and denialism in general:

aids denialist
dissident hiv aids blogs
questioningaids
aids dissident
fear of the invisible
reaids
questioning aids

While some simply want some assurance that they are not going to be affected at all:

long term non progressor
how long live with hiv

The so-called HIV viral load test warrants a category of its own, though I do hope Google does more indexing about my writings on CD4 counts:

hiv viral load graph
viral load hiv graph
viral load spike hiv

As do some of the specific medical conditions I’ve experienced and written about, especially cancer:

side of the neck swelling
hiv parotid
picture of kaposi sarcoma
facial lymphoma
disbiosis
cancer round 2

And promising alternative treatments, such as high dose intravenous vitamin C:

fda vitamin c
sodium ascorbate vitamin c
megadose vitamin c therapy
vit c infusion
cell symbiosis therapy
uv light purification
mct oil coconut oil
maf 314
what is intestinal dysbiosis

There is certainly a lot of fear and confusion out there, thanks to all the HIV/AIDS voodoo and bone pointing:

fear fail
pointing the bone
voodoo hexes
die of aids
arv overdose
no questions allowed
circular argument
definition of heretic
origin of voodo
contradictions
invisible fear

Speaking of bone pointing, I’m not really sure what to make of these queries to Google:

jonathan barnett aids dissident death
jonathan barnett death aids

To round out the list, search terms that just don’t easily fit anywhere else (the last one is one of my favorites):

pharmaceutical solutions
what happens if you take antiretroviral drug at the same time with red wine
aidsmeds.com
peter duesberg 2014
gay dresses
paul sax blog
peter staley
red button blue button
westboro baptis church lady gaga parody
love resistance
townsend letter
who hiv clinical staging
water filter
weighting
aids legions
insecticide
i have no questions

Keep in mind that these terms are the early reports of Google searches in only two months. Similar reports for five years of blogging at resistanceisfruitful.com included nearly 8,000 search terms.

Alexa rankings

Another website metric that I have tracked for years is the Alexa ranking. Just before moving the blog, resistanceisfruitful.com had overtaken questioningaids.com as the top-ranked AIDS dissident website, with a global ranking of 197,994 (QA was 211,274). That rank immediately dropped to about 3.5 million the day resistanceisfruitful.com was launched, but has since rebounded to 267,490 vs. QA’s current rank of 213,519. The third highest ranked dissident website at the end of 2013 was virusmyth.com, at 872,704 (now about 1.3M).

Wait... there's more!

  • By any other name

    A whole year?! It’s hard to believe that it has been more than a year since I’ve written anything on my blog. I don’t even know how to begin to catch up. I blame Facebook, mostly. I’ve been addicted to the lightning-fast pace of information exchange there, and I’ve written hundreds, maybe even thousands of posts and…

  • Reduce AIDS drug toxicity and side effects

    I embarked on my third course of ARVs since 1998. For ten of the sixteen years I have been HIV-positive, I was able to manage well enough without ARVs and I continue to believe there is no reason for otherwise healthy HIV-positive—let alone negative—gay men to take these drugs. To those who want to wave a recent study about the benefits of early intervention in my face, I would ask them why they put so much faith in a science that has utterly failed us to date.

  • Retreat and Adventure — Midwest Men’s Festival

    When I received my HIV diagnosis in 1998, I withdrew from my community of gay men. I “went to ground”, thinking that isolation was the only safe place to avoid being criticized for seroconverting at such a late date, when we were all supposed to know better.

    This past week has been yet another bifurcation point in my life. I returned to a community I have known about, if not been a steady part of, for more than 30 years. A community of men whom I could touch and hug. Men whose tears might wet my face and whose body heat and life forces I could feel in ways that can only happen in person. It really did feel like coming home.

  • Supplemental autopsy for Gos Blank: PCP detected

    Nearly four months after his death, and a couple of months after the “final” autopsy report was released, Gos Blank’s wife, Lisa, receive additional information in the form of a letter with the subject: “Supplemental Final Diagnoses”. According to this update, dated February 11, 2014, a stain revealed the “presence of multiple cup and/or boat shaped fungal cysts located within foamy amorphous matériai within the alveolar spaces which were characteristic of Pneumocystis jirovecii microorganisms.

  • Planting Peace ‘virtual pizza’ campaign to shelter homeless LGBTQ

    I keep asking myself what does it mean when “they” can raise nearly a million dollars in a few days for an anti-gay cause that benefits only one family, while the LGBTQ community and our allies have to beg and scrap to raise an obviously modest amount of money, when considered in the bigger picture.

    I am also wondering why no one with a media presence and stature comparable to Glenn Becks has stepped up to champion this initiative. Some of the names that come to mind are: Rachel Maddow, Ricky Martin, Ellen Degeneres or George Takei.

  • Nope, I’m not dead yet

    Who and why did someone type “jonathan barnett resistance dead?” into a Google search?

    Was is it someone who had been missing my thoughtful, creative and witty writings? Someone thinking I must have died from not taking drugs for HIV? Someone wondering if I had died yet because I had started taking ARVs (at greatly reduced dosages) again?
