the state of hentai sharing today

[Vacuusimago]

Not two years ago you could type in a dlsite game or anything else you'd like and a plethora of well documented results would pour across google. Now it's a couple of small sites that are only left on because everything shared on them is corrupt and they are just membership scams. Does anyone else wonder what's going on? Is google becoming the new Chinese censorship machine or had the united states government finally cracked down on every file sharing site so hard that not even cheap foreign porn gets through?

. . . . . have you not been on the internet in the past, year, or something? Short Version: Feds busted Megaupload, which scared the shit out of every other sharing site, causing them to crack down on themselves, which purged a LOT of hentai links.

But it seems more than that, because there are still a lot of overseas and irreputable sites online, it seems almost like Google is filtering it all out too.

Its funny, if you type 'ulmf' in google, the second page that comes up is

You must be registered to see the links

.

Google's Official description of this is - "Google regularly receives requests from copyright owners and reporting organizations that represent them to remove search results that link to material that allegedly infringes copyrights. Each request names specific URLs to be removed, and we list the domain portions of URLs requested to be removed under specified domains."

I believe what this means is that some copyright organizations are trying to remove ULMF from Googles search results, meaning that if you typed in something such as 'Hentai forum' or 'Caryo games download', ULMF links would be blocked entirely from the results.

Unfortunately, since ULMF contains a large number of links, some of which to copyrighted material, their issues are generally valid.

Google filters by hits. The less hits a site has, the lower it is on the search.

Guarantee you Google isn't filtering anything 'out'. The sites just don't have as many hits, or people got scared and links went down.

There are also quite a few sites that decided to block the U.S., so that'll add to it as well.

Copyright holders can also request that Google remove certain links if they infringe on their copyrighted material.

EDIT: blargh, ninja'd on the last part.

Re: the state of hentai sharing today

google also stacks you search according to what you have searched for previously. As an SEO expert this makes my life a nightmare. People keep wondering why they get porn sites ranked above their sites...

Re: the state of hentai sharing today

You've got to outsmart google when using it, adding exclusion terms will help alot. Like when it returns a couple thousand links to the same bullshit search site that just happened to put the name of what you searched for ON EVERY SINGLE PAGE, just do a -site:

You must be registered to see the links

or whatever suffix it conatins.
