Can someone fix this link to point to the actual page:
http://www.studiobriefing.net/studiobriefing.net/FILM_NEWS/E...
If it's so annoying that Hacker News won't link to it, why should we be surprised that Google won't?

#12I guess people just vote this up without actually reading it or realizing that the post is just being syndicated on imdb.com from studiobriefing.net (the site that has been de-googled).
I also think de-googled implies that they were removed from the index when in fact they were simple kicked out of the adsense program. My bet would be for running too many ads or for clicking on their own ads.

No, they claim google is no longer indexing their site: "Not only did Google delete the Adsense advertisements appearing on the blog, but it diverted its spider from the site as well. As a result, StudioBriefing.net ceased being cited in Google search results."

I'm guessing that they used the link to imdb because it's copyable text, whereas on the studiobriefing.net site the post is actually a PNG file. That's the sort of thing that makes think they deserved to get kicked out of the index.

I'm not surprised they got kicked out as "... we were encouraged by a few industry warhorses to launch a unique blog that would link the items in our daily digest directly ..." sounds suspiciously like something that looks like a link farm to an alogorithm.
Re: We Have Been De-googled
#17Is 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.
Which begs the question as to why this is on imdb at all? Is imdb syndicating their "film news"?

The original article is one giant PNG file (i.e. no actual plain text), so perhaps Google's bots don't see much content on the site. It's rather amazing that the site owners do this and yet claim to be mystified by Google's actions -- really?

They have another post at http://www.studiobriefing.net/studiobriefing.net/TV_News/Ent... where the text is copyable. I wonder if someone made a PNG of this page and reposted it at the other link.
