Google Has De – Indexed Almost 1.75 Billion Web Sites!

In the present era, the web sites that have been actively removed from the Google’s index have now reached to 1.75 billion. They have been removed because of the copy right requests. This number can be confirmed on the copy right section of the transparency report of Google.

For the sake of comparison, the number of takedown copy right requests which are simply rejected is just 39 million. With each passing year, the total amount of requests of copy rights have been increasing by 53%. In the Google transparency report, you can even track the number of take down requests that Google has received over the time. Further, you can also track the duplicated URLs, invalid URLs, pending URLs and other such related things. Apparently, Google has emerged out to be a quick respondent to the take down requests, because there are zero pending requests with Google at the moment.

Process of Submitting a Copyright Request

Any type of copy right takedown request has to be sent by the owner of the actually copy righted subject matter. It is not the responsibility of Google to look for any copyright infringements. In fact, it is the duty of the owner to inform google about it. Once the copyright takedown request has been sent to Google, the Google experts will begin with the review process. If the request is accurate and complete, then the offending URL shall be removed from the google search results.

Also, the admin of the site affected might retaliate by making a counter notification. Whenever a counter notification is received by Google, they will consider it whether or not there is a need to index the content in Google search results.

Till date, more than 20 million copyright requests have been received by Google and 1.75 billion URLs have been removed from 888000 domains.
