Zombie websites - Expired domains replaced with old content

Written by Search Engine Genie @ 8:10 AM permanent link on Monday, May 5, 2008 | Post a Comment |

Hobbs of webmaster world complains that Google is allowing Adsense ads to be published on Zombie sites. Zombie sites according to him are sites that are mostly expired domains which are replaced with its original content to make it look as if its the same site.

Most of these sites completely loose their Google rankings since google has whois data which is updated internally and any major change to a whois of a particular site especially if the site changes hands google automatically imposes a penalty and makes sure all backlinks to that domain are banned and the site has to start gaining new backlinks.

So Google does its work but the sites that are expired still might get traffic from Backlinks they had previously the question of the main poster in this thread is why does Google allow sites that are like these to publish adsense ads. That is a Good question which only Google can respond.

My take on this Google don't have time to check each and every site whether it violates copyright or its using previous owners contents. if some one complains they can definitely look into it and if the person who complains have valid reason then definitely Google will take action against the site.

I personally feel automated means to detect these stuff is just a waste of resources which can be spent in a much better way. Final take Google can keep providing adsense ads as long as the ads are relevant to the site if a valid complain comes they can block ads from being published on this site.
