Its not a good news for who
using CO.CC domain for their
blogs. Google has just blocked
all sites with CO.CC domains
from showing in Google Search.
Google has make this decision
against web spam and poor
quality sites on CO.CC.
CO.CC is a domain company that
offers
subdomains for free. Google has
reserves the right to ban all
sites on a host if
the host seems to have an
unusual percentage of
spammy sites on it. Google
banned a whole sub-domain
yesterday specifically co.cc.
According to Mr. JohnMu, "If
we
see
a very large fraction of
sites on a specific freehost be
spammy or low-quality, we do
reserve the right to take
action on the freehost as a
whole. Taking action like this is
not really something new, and
it is something that we may do
elsewhere at Google as well".
"If you feel that your particular
site is in line with our
Webmaster Guidelines, I would
recommend submitting a
reconsideration request.
Additionally, if you use a
subdomain on a widely used
domain name, and feel that
your subdomain provider is not
up to par with regards to
preventing and handling abuse
quickly - be it webspam,
phishing, or malware - you may
wish to look into ways of
remedying that."
"That being said the
Google
AdWords
Help forum even
has an AdWords representative
suggesting
you do not use co.cc
as a domain. The
representative explained that
although the TLD is not yet
banned from AdWords, it is a
risky TLD and it is "
definitely
[in]
a bad neighborhood" The CO.CC
is only company that offers two
subdomains for free and
makes
money
from selling as many as
15,000 to any individual. People
wanting to fill thousands of
such pages and websites with
junk that they can then
get to rank in the search
results.
It seems that Google has had
enough from co.cc provided
websites and has now blocked
the entire domain,
regardless if the individual
subdomains were legitimate or
not.
Google's Matt Cutts also
comments on Google+, "First, a
definition: a 'freehost' is a
domain that will let anyone
register a site on that domain.
There's lots and lots of high-
quality freehosts out there
(
wordpress
.com comes to mind.
We absolutely do try to be
granular, but I wanted
to mention that if we see a
very large fraction of sites on
a specific freehost be spammy
or low-quality, we do reserve
the right to take action on the
freehost as a whole. I think
most savvy search/SEO folks
would
understand this completely, but
I figure it's better to
over-communicate than under-
communicate.
