Google - An update to our search algorithms

We aim to provide a great experience for our users and have developed over 200 signals to ensure our search algorithms deliver the best possible results. Starting next week, we will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site. Sites with high numbers of removal notices may appear lower in our results. This ranking change should help users find legitimate, quality sources of content more easily?whether it?s a song previewed on NPR?s music website, a TV show on Hulu or new music streamed from Spotify.

Since we re-booted our copyright removals over two years ago, we?ve been given much more data by copyright owners about infringing content online. In fact, we?re now receiving and processing more copyright removal notices every day than we did in all of 2009?more than 4.3 million URLs in the last 30 days alone. We will now be using this data as a signal in our search rankings.

Only copyright holders know if something is authorized, and only courts can decide if a copyright has been infringed; Google cannot determine whether a particular webpage does or does not violate copyright law. So while this new signal will influence the ranking of some search results, we won?t be removing any pages from search results unless we receive a valid copyright removal notice from the rights owner. And we?ll continue to provide "counter-notice" tools so that those who believe their content has been wrongly removed can get it reinstated. We?ll also continue to be transparent about copyright removals.

hahaha Google ROcks :)

Good news for you content owners

Get prepared for new services offering negative SEO via fake copyright removal notices.

the number of valid copyright removal notices

So all the big tube sites will lose rankings after this...yeah right.

Illegal tubes...

( If this actually happens :) )

:1orglaugh

Are they talking about that chillingeffect message you occasionally see in se results? if so, then it'll make bugger all difference, that message doesnt come up THAT often.

This is going to be fun.

It looks like they are trying to do something

Will be interesting to see what if any difference this makes.

MY SE is going up :D

This algo update will downgrade the rankings of the whole site. It will be interesting to see how big tubes will rank after this and I bet the flood of removal requests on the way.

Check out this page....

Hopefully, my Nasty Dollars and BangBros ratio do better in September.

Check to see if your site is listed by replacing YOURDOMAIN.COM.

Now you know why Manwin made a deal with Nasty Dollars.

Youtube is an exception, read this

Check:

All major tubes are in the list.

do this also go for text

I can imagine a few tube owners shitting bricks, in anticipation of the coming update.

Cool. A big list of sites with copyright violations. No need to Google to find shit now.

Guys decide what's the main thread about this?

Ok so most reports include froytal (I think is manwin), RK netmedi (nastydollars), bangbros, so lots adult stuff:
http://www.google.com/transparencyre.../?r=last-month

Biggest reported sites are torrent ones, followed by file lockers:
http://www.google.com/transparencyre...s/?r=last-year

I browsed a few next pages in list, found forumophilia after 100th, browser more until 400th with only 5000 urls submitted and no one tube really, I would say tubes are not reported really, only the torrent and file lockers are there and may get a penalty.

Q: What if google does it for real and strongly changes results?

A: Google will lose traffic! And people will migrate to use alternative search engines, ones specialized in torrents or otherwise pirated content, as a starting page.

In fact, google is today the best pirate content search engine. Is enough to write words "torrent" + "name of movie" and google will give all the direct and real links for utorrent to get the files, ranked correctly. This is now better than pirate search engines because does not have fake links and popup adverts, so people use google.

And so if those million's of people using google to find pirate stuff will NO more find it in first page, they will switch to search of bing, yahoo or specific warez search engines, simply, making a fortune of these search engines.

You make me LOL....
