Hello Google, Why dont u Ban Orkut in India ?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Orkut: Social networking and discussion site operated by Google.

If I’m not wrong then orkut is a place where users can put there views. This cud be anything from Commenting over some website, product or any individual.

I was browsing Google News this morning and came across an article One More Held for Obscene Content about Sonia.

I wonder when you are free to make a community like: I hate Sonia Gandhi then why you are not free to comment ?

Don’t you think its violation of its Privacy Policy ?

Hating someone, even if that someone is Sonia Gandhi, is a personal opinion, and having a personal opinion about anyone, is not an offense as per the law of the land.

I believe if Google is not able to keep the privacy of its user over some country then they have to Backup from that country.

Working Example of GoogleBowling

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

So what exactly is GoogleBowling ?
At it’s simplest it’s using anchor text to bowl over, or sabotage another website. GoogleBowling is using any off site tactics to bring down your competitors rankings.

A webmaster at Google Webmasters forums .. reported a working example of GoogleBowling .. According to him Some spammers .. Bowled his website over some PORN and SPAM forums … and as a result the webmaster lost all of his keywords having the word he was bowled with.

However JohnMu had suggested the webmaster to improve the Quality of the content of his website and have asked him to read the Quality guidelines !!

The webmaster claims to have sitelinks on his website earlier before this bowling… and have given a proof for his statement… Check this. (NOTE: Please be aware that some of these links contain Trojan downloaders.)

Forum discussion is going on here.
