Recently Google introduced a revolutionary change which largely went unnoticed. Recently, when I was opening our official blog on Blogspot, I noticed a very strange phenomenon. My page rank has disappeared and my blog’s url is redirecting to a country-code top level domain. When I was trying to open http://seocorporation.blogspot.com/ it was being redirected to http://seocorporation.blogspot.in/

See the Url. It is http://seocorporation.blogspot.in/ Instead of http://seocorporation.blogspot.com/

I tried to open several other blogs and all shown the same phenomenon. Fortunately I found a post on Blogger’s Official blog explaining the phenomenon.

Why does my blog redirect to a country-specific URL?

We are witnessing this URL change because Google will redirect every blogspot blog to your country specific TLD based on your ip. If you are in Australia and if you try to open  http://seocorporation.blogspot.com/ It will redirect to http://seocorporation.blogspot.com.au.

A ccTLD, when it appears, corresponds with the country of the reader’s current location.

This change is being gradually launched in every country. So if you are clapping that this absurd phenomenon is not happening in your current location then just wait for few more days.

Why this Redirecting thing has been introduced?

SEO India says Google introduced this change to easily comply with  data removal request in any country based on its local laws. By utilizing, ccTLDs, valid content removal requests can be managed easily which will be removed from only country specific ccTLD thus impacting the smallest number of readers.

It’s a relief that URLs of custom domains will not be unaffected.

There was apprehension among bloggers and SEO experts that this change will adversely affect the Search Engine Optimization of their blogs. Google clarified that

The majority of content hosted on different domains will be unaffected by content removals, and therefore identical. For all such content, we will specify the blogspot.com version as the canonical version using rel=canonical. This will let crawlers know that although the URLs are different, the content is the same. When a post or blog in a country is affected by a content removal, the canonical URL will be set to that country’s ccTLD instead of the .com version. This will ensure that we aren’t marking different content with the same canonical tag.

Blog readers may request a specific country version of the blogspot content by entering a specially formatted “NCR” URL.

NCR stands for “No Country Redirect” and will always display buzz.blogger.com in English, whether you’re in India, Brazil, Honduras, Germany, or anywhere.

For example: http://[blogname].blogspot.com/ncr – always goes to the U.S. English blog.

This special URL sets a short-lived cookie (session and/or a short life time) that will prevent geo-based redirection from the requested domain. This applies to all web browsers and all Operating Systems.

These kinds of trends are alarming. Recently Twitter announced to censor tweets based on Geographical locations. And now blogger introduced something so similar. The Online world is witnessing a shift as the homosapiens must have witnessed in their evolutionary history. First there was no law, no police, nothing. Later as the society evolved we got law, police and other laws. I will love to see Internet as democratic as it has been. All the attempts to crush its freedom hurts me but pray that despite all hitches we move towards a more democratic online and Offline world.

Amazon Enters India

 Powered by Amazon, a $48 billion company Junglee.com starts its forays in to Indian e commerce sector. The site went live on Thursday. Junglee.com enables customers to find products from offline and online retailers in India and from Amazon.

Amazon claims that customers can find over 1.2 crore products and 14,000 brands. Amazon launched in 1994 by Jeff Bezos quickly swelled to become the world’s largest online retailer. Now Amazon is worth $48 Billomn and Jeff Bezos is worth $18.1 Billion.

The e-commerce market in India has more than doubled from a $ 4 bn in 2009 to nearly $ 10 bn in 2011. And the chances are ripe that it will double in coming two to three years. A downside of Junglee.com is that you cannot buy anything on it. You have to buy the product from the sellers’ site but you can log into Junglee with you Amazon account to rate products or write reviews..

For now Junglee looks like a comparison search engine but It will give lot of options to consumers and sellers. Now you can choose the cheap and best product without leaving your Mac. It will also highlight lesser known merchants in India. In the long run Junglee can give a tough competition to Flipkart.

Yesterday, I was chatting with an SEO Client of mine. In course of his discussion, he wanted to check his rankings for his keywords on Google. I asked him to have a look at them himself. He uses rank checker tool of SEObook. As soon as he checked his rankings, he started congratulating me. Although I knew that his rankings have increased considerably but I didn’t imagine that he would start jumping with joy as he is still on the lower part of first page. A bit alarmed, I wanted to make sure the reason of his happiness. He said that almost all keywords are showing rank 1 or 2 . I repeated the search on my rank checker too too. It still shown the the same wrong results.

Than I started checking manually and then only got the exact rankings which was still around 7 instead of 1.
