Last week Googleannouncedthat it would be roam out changes to its search algorithm to significantly demote sites that receive a large routine of valid right of first publication put-down asking . NowTorrentFreak reportsthat top sites have taken tremendous hit in traffic coming from Google .
TorrentFreak spoke to several torrent site operators who say that begin this week their internet site see significant fall in traffic . According to the Isohunt.to squad , “ earlier this week all lookup dealings dropped in half . ”
That ’s substantial , but the 2d one-half of the reputation is indicative of why these censorship policies do n’t actually do anything to make piracy any better . TF monitored several hunting terms to see what impression the changes would have , and while the hunt results are changing , the overall final result is n’t :
A hunt for “ break in Bad torrent ” previously featured Kickass.to , Torrentz.eu and Isohunt.com on top , but these have all disappeared . Interestingly , in some cases their place has been taken by other less democratic flood sites .
So while the sites that are getting payload and loading of DMCA request end up getting pushed down , other sources spring up to take their place . And for the largest land site , it does n’t even make a difference . The Pirate Bay tells TorrentFreak that they do n’t trust on Google traffic : When people want torrents , they know where to go for them .
This is dead in line with two points about search dealings thatGoogle has made fourth dimension and again . First of all , you may not get torrents out of search results without censoring sealed hunting terms solely — Google flatly , and correctly , refuses to do this . Perhaps more revealingly , Google hunting is not an important number one wood of piracy .
Another change TorrentFreak does n’t report is that Google is advertise legal way to obtain materials when you search for torrents . deal these hunt results for “ take the air Dead waterspout . ”
This lookup variety is still fresh , so we ’ll have to hold back and see how the results pan out out over meter .
Google has always play tough with right of first publication owners who kvetch that Google is n’t doing enough to protect their intellectual property , even though Google removed 222 million golf links in 2013 . The change in its search algorithm were something of a surrender on Google ’s part . Google knows demoting large plagiarizer sites does n’t do anything to fight plagiarisation but it demote those website anyway . Which is surprisingly irrational for a company that pride itself in just the data and science . [ TorrentFreak ]
