Google Hot Trends Indexing to Cool Down
Google Hot Trends that started somewhere in 2007, 15th May to be precise, has been inspiration to a large number of blogs and sites who created content taking hot keywords from the ones listed in it. While some sites produced remarkable content from it, many took to create brainless content mashing up the keywords and nothing else. Some even took to replicate the Hot Trends site when they could not think of ideas.
Google index is full of pages that are nothing but the copy of the contents of Google Hot Trends site (some are owned by Google itself). Here is a glimpse
m.blogger.com/trends/hottrends - pro.blogger.com/trends/hottrends
- www.freesc.com/trends/hottrends
- m.googlearth.de/trends/hottrends
- www.rechargeit.org/trends/hottrends
- www.ggoogle.com/trends/hottrends
- www.blogger.ae/trends/hottrends
- pro1.blogger.com/trends/hottrends
- www.gppglr.com/trends/hottrends
- www.gmail.fr/trends/hottrends
- www.heima021.com/trends/hottrends
- www.janinaordmann.com/trends/hottrends
- m.googlearth.de/trends/hottrends
- www.nihilisme.ca/trends/hottrends
- www.ngauthier.com/trends/hottrends
- www.googleanalytics.ru/trends/hottrends
- www.sharesigns.com/trends/hottrends
- www.ciecet.net/trends/hottrends
- wireless.blogger.com/trends/hottrends
- pro2.blogger.com/trends/hottrends
While intentions of other site owners behind replication of pages can be understood, that is getting traffic, it’s beyond imagination that why would Google want to replicate its own data that too with different subdomains of same domain as m.blogger.com, pro.blogger.com, pro1.blogger.com, pro2.blogger.com and wireless.blogger.com
Anyways, Google now seem to have decided to remove these pages from index and, to effect it, have included exclusion rules in its robots.txt. This change seem to have been done on 2nd of July. You must be wondering that this step may stop Google owned sites to get indexed but what about other sites which are not under Google’s control? Well they will succeed in that too, as the sites replicating the Google Hot Trends page are replicating the robots.txt too 
Let’s see how much time it takes to get all these pages removed from the index.
Here is the rest the list.

Bye Bye Top Commentators List
I had introduced “Top Commentators” list on this blog exactly an year ago, perhaps the first one to do so on wordpress.com as wordpress.com don’t have any such plugin and all updates to this list was done manually. But since a blog with Top Commentators list is always susceptible to comment spamming and hi-jacking plus the fact that I am no longer updating the list, today this list goes off this blog.
I am thankful to all those who have actively participated in the discussions and hope to see your continued involvement. This list will be replaced by some other features that updates automatically.
When SMS turns into Spam Messaging Services
Doctor, Engineer or Actor! Which profession suits you the best? To find out sms JOB (Your Name) to 51515 E.g.: JOB Raj to 51515. Rs.3/sms
This is a sample SMS that is delivered to its customers by Vodafone’s (Mumbai, India) marketing department. I wonder if there really are people who use these type of sms services that are far from truth. Say I send JOB SHAHRUKH what job suggestion will return back. ACTOR? Then I think Vodafone is suggesting that everyone who bear name Amitabh, Shahrukh or Aamir are best suited to work as actor. If the returned job suggestions is NOT ACTOR then we should say to our very Shahrukh Khan “Hey you are misfit in what you are doing! Why don’t you try something else”
What do you say?
