Google takes down over 11 million sites - Hurriyet Daily News
Google has removed over 11 million .co.cc websites from its search engine results pages on the basis that most of them are far too "spammy".
Google takes down over 11 million sites
The .co.cc space is not an officially authorised second-level domain like .co.uk or .com.au. Rather, it's offered independently by a Korean company (http://co.cc/) that just happens to own the domain name .co.cc.
According to The Register, Google classes the firm as a "freehost", and has exercised its right to block the whole domain "if we see a very large fraction of sites on a specific freehost are spammy or low-quality", according to Matt Cutts, head of Google's web spam team.
