Searching for "Suicide" Turns up "how to" advice

This was so awful that I wanted to share. I'm sure it's because the suicide help line type sites aren't optimized for search engines...

PARIS (AFP) — People searching the Internet for information about suicide methods are more likely to find sites encouraging suicide than those offering help or support, according to a study released Friday.

Researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Oxford and Manchester found that nearly half of websites showing up in queries of the four top search engines gave "how to" advice on taking one's own life.

Only 13 percent, by contrast, focused on suicide prevention or offered support, while another 12 percent actively discouraged suicide. More of the story here.
