Google should, for giggles, just drop a good number of sites with these terms one day.
- Tichy 16y agoGoogle probably would get the permission to link to Ryanair, though. And Google has to look good in the eye of searchers. They want to find what they are looking for and don't really care about the reasons for some results to be not available.
- ZitchDog 16y agoGoogle probably assumes that if you are not disallowing their spider via robots.txt you are consenting to allow Google to index your content.
- snorkel 16y agoBut Google is in a unique position to quickly correct a lot of bad T&C behaviors simply by implying that having those terms may hurt the SEO of offending sites. If SEOs suspected that was part of Google's ranking process then we'd see a lot of bad T&C clauses suddenly dropped.
- alex_c 16y agoThe phrase "Google is in a unique position to quickly correct a lot of bad [...] behaviors" sends chills down my spine.
- snorkel 16y agoNot a bad idea actually, and it'd be even more effective if Google also penalized sites that link to other sites with unreasonable T&C.
