Looks like a garbage site updated every couple days with entertainment rubbish. And it has an auto-play video ad. Gosh, what a shame.

It isn't IMDB that has been "de-googled". It is StudioBriefing.net

This isn't about IMDB, it's about Studio Briefing. And regardless of whether you consider it garbage or not, it might have had value to other people - which is why they were using it, I suppose - and it appears Google has been unreasonable in taking it off the index / shutting down the ads. Either that, or we're just hearing one side of the story.

Is the title perhaps vague or misleading? studiobriefing.net appears to have been delisted, not IMDB itself.

Saying 'we', given the domain, kind of implies IMDB - I appreciate it's a quote, but it's out of context.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:imdb.com&a...

shows 50mm 600k imdb.com webpages indexed / its their spam blog that did it / It immediately fired away with a audio ad that auto plays :(

Not IMDB.

Rather, that is for a web site with vast quantities of graphic ads surrounding a very small box of celebrity-focused text content.

If it's not a landing-page advertising web site, then the site in question is certainly constructed very much like one.

And based on a very quick look, the text of the article on getting banned by Google (which is reposted on IMDB) is vastly larger than the text on the other web pages sampled.
