Google Re-Lists CO.CC Domains After 6 Month Ban

Dec 30, 2011 - 8:50 am 5 by

CO.CC Domains Back in GoogleSix months ago, Google publicly wiped out any co.cc domain from showing in Google's search results. That subdomain wide penalty seems to have now been lifted.

A search for [site:co.cc] returns over a 100 million results now:

Google CO.CC Results

The results started appearing about ten days ago, when before, it returned nothing:

co.cc removed form Google

I am not sure if Google changed their mind of this penalty was automatically lifted after a certain time period? Who knows if the subdomain will be banned again when Googlers return from their holiday break.

But at least now you can check to see just how spammy the co.cc sites are.
