How did it happen so quickly?

• pja 14y ago
  A lot of links from high profile sites presumably.

    And .com completely gone? In an hour? I would say there was a human intervention. Although Bing points to .org as well...

      Are you implying nobody human would work for Bing?
      • JL2010 14y ago
        The implication is about the type of humans at Bing, y'know, the Microsoft type?
      • rplnt 14y ago
        No, just that the chance of human involvement for two major search engines within an hour seems lower.

      The .com site did completely disappear, and for a relatively high profile site like that, it's probably indexed pretty often. There's also the possibility that the developers had access to the "Google Webmaster Tools" for cyanogenmod.com, even though they didn't own the domain, and so just told Google that the site had moved.

  If search engines are indexing your site with any regularity and you kill all your DNS records I'd say it's not terribly surprising to have your domain removed. That combined with the new .org being an exact match for a "cyanogen" search would probably do it.

    It looks more likely that someone form the search team browses HN or uses Cyanogen (very likely) and they intervened and updated the index manually. I am sure google has a back-end to do stuff manually.
