Yesterday afternoon Moz’s dwelling web page was faraway from the Google Search outcomes after Google processed a fraudulent (or mistaken) DMCA takedown request. Moz is now again, inside 12 hours from when Google realized in regards to the concern – however there isn’t any response from Google on how this might have occurred as of but.
To be honest, I forgot to e-mail Google final evening however I did e-mail this morning and I’ll let you realize if I hear again.
So what occurred? As I lined final evening at Search Engine Land, a seek for [moz] didn’t present Moz’s dwelling web page within the search outcomes, it confirmed the Moz weblog first:
The place did the Moz dwelling web page go? Properly, it was excluded by an authorized DMCA request for supposedly distributing “modified, cracked and unauthorized variations” of the Dr. Driving app,” the DMCA takedown request wrote. Moz.com was included on line 122 of the checklist of 185 URLs allegedly doing this.
In the event you went to the footer of the Google Search outcomes for the question on Moz, it had these particulars and hyperlinks:
Cyrus was the primary to identify this final evening and shortly after, Danny Sullivan from Google responded that he handed it alongside:
I’ve handed it on for evaluation.

As of this morning, at round 3am ET, Moz returned to the Google search outcomes:
Yea – that is scary. How can a DMCA takedown request really result in the elimination of a good firm’s dwelling web page from Google Search? What would occur if this occurred to a smaller model that doesn’t discover their dwelling web page being eliminated for days or perhaps weeks? Would Google be capable of reply as quick to smaller firm’s who’ve this concern? I simply wish to know what went fallacious right here and the way Google can forestall it sooner or later. This has been a priority for properly over a decade and it got here true for Moz.
In fact, websites go lacking from Google right here and there. Search Engine Land was thought, mistakenly, to be hacked and was eliminated for a time period. It occurred to Digg when it was penalized by chance. It occurs to others as properly… Generally it’s the website’s personal fault, like with LinkedIn and I get that however when it’s Google’s fault?
