Google is destroying website rankings
I have sent the following email to a couple of key players in the field of UK public relations. I think THIS stunt by Google is what is skewing so many website rankings and also stuffing up Adsense, for example.
This is a copy of the email I sent out to two of the key players in the UK public relations industry:-
Hi.
Having spoken with a client, we have identified a problem that Google is causing to publishers of newspapers and magazines that use your website's press releases in their online versions.
Google penalises publishers who use press releases. What happens is that Google spots the press release on your website. When it identifies the press release used as a story on a website it penalises the website by claiming it is duplicate content. Should any other website use the same content, then both could be further penalised. The rankings of the websites could, effectively, be destroyed by Google.
I feel that it would be worthwhile public relations portal websites and public relations agencies contacting Google as a matter of urgency to enable Google to fix the problem that Google have caused. As it is damaging the interests of not only publishers but also the public relations industry and clients. It is possible that Google's action might be against EU legislation regarding competition and the fair operation of businesses.
