I guess people just vote this up without actually reading it or realizing that the post is just being syndicated on imdb.com from studiobriefing.net (the site that has been de-googled).
I also think de-googled implies that they were removed from the index when in fact they were simple kicked out of the adsense program. My bet would be for running too many ads or for clicking on their own ads.
- gvb 17y agoNo, they claim google is no longer indexing their site: "Not only did Google delete the Adsense advertisements appearing on the blog, but it diverted its spider from the site as well. As a result, StudioBriefing.net ceased being cited in Google search results."
- maethorechannen 17y agoI'm not surprised they got kicked out as "... we were encouraged by a few industry warhorses to launch a unique blog that would link the items in our daily digest directly ..." sounds suspiciously like something that looks like a link farm to an alogorithm.
- Maciek416 17y agoThe original article is one giant PNG file (i.e. no actual plain text), so perhaps Google's bots don't see much content on the site. It's rather amazing that the site owners do this and yet claim to be mystified by Google's actions -- really?
- Frazzydee 17y agoThe site seems to be pretty high-profile, and I seriously doubt they are "mystified." Looks to me like they're trying to drum up support and/or attention, and this post making it to #1 of HN indicates that their strategy may be working.
