Perfect Pitch
Jeremy Keith discovers just how far companies will go to protect their google search page rankings.
One of the messages had the subject line Blocked URLs:
For legal reasons, we’ve excluded from our search results content located at or under the following URL/directory:
http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display/21250
This content has been removed from all Google search results.
Cause: Somone has filed a DMCA complaint against your site.
What now?
I visited the URL and found a fairly tame discussion about Perfect Pitch. Here’s the only part of the discussion that references an external resource in a non-flattering light:I think that is referring to www.PerfectPitch.com. I’m not saying anything about such commercially-oriented courses because I don’t know them, but I think we’d all be wise to bear in mind the general comments voiced in the first two posts on this thread.
That single reference to a third-party site is, apparently, enough to trigger a DMCA complaint.
