No, 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.
