Almost £50k, lots of donations today. Do we have Jerry Lawton to thank for this? :-) #McCann

Perhaps he can run another article tomorrow on the blocking of the Google search engine.

Excellent I hope it goes to £50k tonight.

It will go through the 50k barrier in the next ten minutes.

But what about the GoFundMe site ?  Why do no results come up in a search on their own site for GA   -  or am I not searching properly?

Here you go, why don't you all email them and ask them, I just did.

Thanks Resistor - I have written to them now.    They say they try to answer within 5 minutes ?

Brilliant Andrew, any negative news regarding the McCanns  now seems to have an adverse effect on the fund. I'm hoping the tide is turning. By the way you have been missed today Andrew were you busy at work.

It has ------ over £50,000

Great question here, S....


The reason that this campaign does not appear in the Public Search Directory is because all campaigns must be connected to a valid personal Facebook account before being listed in the Public Search Directory.


If the Campaign Organizer decides to connect their Facebook account, their campaign will appear in the Public Search Directory right away.


Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and I'll get right back to you.


Thank you,


Sasha

So apparently the campaign is not linked to Leanne's FB account anymore, that's why you cannot search for it. Does Leanne know? Or is she one of the unlucky FB users who have been unable to log in for over a week?

whoopee do bluebell and Andrew predicted this a few minutes ago. Fantastic news.

Much the same reply from gofundme as yours Resistor:

Leanne left some months ago, but it appears pjga aren't aware of this necessary Facebook profile in that case. How strange




Hello ........

Thank you for writing in today. I'm more than happy to help you here.

Because there is no Facebook profile attached to the campaign, it will not appear in our Public Search Directory. Please keep in mind that the biggest factor in having a successful campaign is sharing the link directly with your friends, family and other networks, and being in the Public Search Directory doesn't necessarily attract any further attention to the campaign.

If you have any more questions for me, please reply directly to this email to ask. I'm more than happy to help.

All my best,

C.J.

Oh wow, this is great news

@ Resistor
I've sent an email to pjga to inform them of this Facebook profile that is necessary for them to appear on the Public Search Engine of the gofundme site.

They are no doubt very busy this week especially, and I don't expect a reply. Just not able to let this pass without doing something.

Bluebell I don't know if that is correct as Bing and others have the site if you search go fund me goncalo amaral the link comes up top.  Unless google works differently but I wouldn't  think so.  Probably wrong though

Thanks Admin, but my grouse is that if one goes on the gofundme site itself and tries to search for GA's site nothing comes up.   I don't think this is connected to the google fiasco.

As Resistor advised I sent an email to gofundme (their answer I c/p'd above) and they say that unless there is a specific Facebook profile of the person who started the gofundme site it will not be shown on their search engine.

I am aware pjga took over from Leanne some time ago, and maybe this is why.

I just thought pjga should be aware that's all.  As I don't speak Portuguese though my email to explain probably won't make sense!

Ah, I see, I misunderstood and see what you are saying now.  Not so good if you can't even find the fund when on their site, well done for letting them know.

What great news. Well done to everyone who donated and sent messages of support. It really is worth every red cent to be able to comment without censure. A bit like throwing off the shackles in a way. I hope reaching this milestone is just the first bit of good news and this year will see us celebrating not only a victory for an honest and decent man, but the end of the farce that has been perpetrated for over 8 years.
Forca.

Just read this by HiDeHo over there.      Thought it worth a read, so brought the link over.   The more computer-savvy members here will understand far more than myself, but what's the likelihood of this? It's a long post so won't copy.

Who added data to Gofundme page and is it preventing Google searches?
Post  HiDeHo Today at 5:37 am

Has SOMEONE (Google?) added data to the GoFundMe page to prevent successful searches for Gonçalo Amaral FUND page?
Upon checking the view source page there is added data that does not show in a random Gofundme page as can be seen in the  graphic. ''

Could this be to prevent people searching for the fund on Google and if so...WHY??

I think it's obvious WHY they are trying to sabotage Goncalo's fund.

They must be terrified of what the Judges will say tomorrow,

Whatever the cause, it seems important that the actual web address is regularly displayed in a prominent position on this site and places like Twitter, so that those who wish to contribute are free to do so.

It's been right at the top of each page for last few months froggy, and it is clickable to go straight to the website.  It's on the scrolling banner right at the top all coloured to see it easily! Along with how the fund is doing and a running total.
