Google Officially Banned Co.Cc Domains From Search Engine


Few months back one of my blogs (running on a co.cc domain) was penalized by google.  Initially it was on page 1 of google for a particular keyword of Medium Competition but by the end of June it suddenly disappeared from the search results. Google had de-indexed it all of a sudden. At that time I was quiet sceptical about the reason why Google all of a sudden penalized my blog.

But now Google has officially announced that they have blocked free co.cc domain names in all over the world. Every blogger knows about co.cc it’s a company providing free domain names for personal use. Most of the bloggers used co.cc domain for adsense approval but unfortunately it won’t work now.

The reason behind this ban was answered by an Anti-Phishing operational Group, according to their research there have been 4966 phishing attacks done from co.cc domains in the first quarter of 2011. This was the main reason Google finally decided to block them all.

So, If you have a website with co.cc domain then you can move it to BlogSpot or WordPress immediately. I am sure Google will re-indexed your content and you will be back in the search engine result’s.

!Happy Blogging!
