Hi all,

I up into the night watching Googles actions and it looks like Australians are really sweating it at the moment. Every .com.au domain has been removed form G's index. It happened about 3 hours ago. The entire country is gone from Google.

Search for all domains with a .com.au in the domain name:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...allinurl:com.au

Nothing!

Look at the PR for this one:

http://www.news.com.au/

Nothing!

I really do hope this is an April fools joke. Otherwise I feel sorry for Australians.

Checked it again, still nothing. I bet SEO's are being woken up, this could be serious if it doesnt change quick. Anybody know what is going on?

They have also purchased ZipDash too! They announced they will be spending $500 million on R&D this year, so the spending has started!!

News Link Here

Quote:
So what does Zipdash do (or did, if they've been wholly swallowed by Google)? According to the company's web site, it "tackles highway congestion by providing individuals with real-time, accurate traffic information."

First off google really is doubling its gmail space, and secondly I find it odd that google dropped all australian domain names considering recently they have been incorperating more country domain names that are english.

Good luck australians!
