I'm just wondering right now, if the SOPA becomes a total law, what will be the state of SEO after that? Do you have any idea?

I think it will have an impact in online marketing. I just don't know how.

Any idea guys?

It depends on how much power would actually be enforced. If you are trying to run a piracy website, then yes you're going to have a difficult time doing anything on the internet.

Otherwise, the normal just free market website shouldn't have any issue. It'll act as any other business in the United States IMO.

It should only affect the scammers and pirates who are based in the US.

US law isn't the whole world remember.

That's a good point. SOPA can't police what people see outside of the US. And a lot of US companies do business outside of the US.

well, we first gotta see if it goes through, you know? before going out mind and thinking what will affect, more than SOPA I'm "worried" about the future coming bills that receive less criticism from the public

I think it really only depends upon the type of site you operate. If you run a site that can be accused of some form of copy right infringement then you have more to be worried about then getting dinged in the search engines. If SOPA had passed you could just outright lose your site.

When you generate content, You might have to verify every single source that you link to and MAKE SURE that they’re not also violating SOPA in some way. This goes for articles, videos, images and any type of online content.
Google indexing might become more difficult as Google would also need to adjust to the new rules and regulations. They would have to verify all the sites they’re indexing and that NONE of them violate any copyright laws. This would mean that the Sandbox would come back and Google would take a much longer time to index new sites and pages.

Nope. Learn about the sandbox.

Well, Chris, not really. Richard O'Dwyer (owner of TVShack) may be now extradited to the U.S. for just linking to pirated stuff

I've not read the entire thing so have no opinion one way are another.

But if it helps reduce the cost of purchasing legitimate software and films ....

That case started in 2010, long before the current proposals were even written.

Well, it really depends on how big the changes or update is. Most of the time when Google make something new, it really affects our SEO.

Well, if it is implemented that means the SERPs will go under the supervision of Law Enforcement Agencies or they might entertain some influence at least. However, in any case a Giant like Google would not like it at all but that would definitely affect Seo.

Since a lot of the major piracy "companies", I use that term very loosely, that I am familiar with are not based in the U.S., would those be affected?

I doubt SEO will be affected unless someone patent it lol if is ever possible... I think the SEO provider may get into trouble if he/she is helping an "illegitimate" sites up that infringe copyrights.
