Sorry I had to. Seriously though I wonder why this is.

Startpage (anonymous privacy Google):
dolphin: .org #2, .com #6
dolphin emu: .com #1, .org #2 (yes really)
dolphin emulator: .org #1, .com #2 (really!)
dolphin [wii,gamecube]: .com #1, .org #2
And clicking on Google search results to influence them is just awful for privacy.
Note that on Youtube, it knows I like a particular video game, even though I clear cookies every time I close the browser (really no big deal with remember passwords, which are in themselves an enormous security risk, though less with encryption).
After logging in, where I disabled spying on which video you watched (they probably still do it, just don't tell you about it), I no longer get suggestions for that game. What I think is that Google may track by IP or Panopticlick-style profiling (useragent, plugins, distinguishing details, browser size, version, etc) and then use those to create different profiles, meaning clearing cookies may not be effective enough. Startpage may or may not track search, but will not track clicks. DuckDuckGo does, which makes me doubt their commitment to privacy.

Still getting .com first for anonymous searches for "dolphin emulator", "gamecube emulator", "wii emulator". Google Webmaster Tools does not show any significant change in average position in google searches either, that's weird.

Confirming, on French Google, Dolphin-emu.org is still second
RE: A request to all users caring about supporting developers - Darkness Knight - 01-12-2014
dolphin-emu.org in Google.cl is third =( (lolphin-emulator.com is first) but in my guide of Dolphin I put the correct link:
http://www.chw.net/foro/guias/1055785-guia-dolphin-emu-v4-0-2-configuracion-y-descarga-update-14-12-13-a.html

dolphin-emu.org is 3rd on http://www.google.com.au
However I search "Dolphin Emulator" without quotes, which is likely why :/

Look for this adresses:
https://www.google.com/search?q=link: shall not be named
https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl: shall not be named+-site: shall not be named
Also try to not use that website's adress even as plaintext. (without link) Search engines are smart enough to find out these text are link.

I have been continuing to work on this issue and I've got a few questions I'll be posting in here. For the first one I've noticed that the Dolphin Google Code page still has thousands of references to dolphin-emulator(dot)com and dolphin-emu(dot)com. I think this is an issue with SEO as the Google Code page is still official and highly ranked in searches. Is there any way we can get those URLs edited/deleted/censored from the Google Code site?

I'm assuming steamcommunity(dot)com/groups/Dolphin_Wii is not an official group endorsed by this site. I'm not sure exactly how Steam groups work but it is possible for a dev to either take this over or get it closed?
