Search Engine News from Search Engine Lowdown: "Google Confirms Automated Page Removal Bug
Rumors that a bug caused Microsoft and Adobe websites to be removed from Google, are true, according to Search Engine Watch.
'We can confirm that less than 10 websites were inadvertently removed from Google's index for several hours [Thursday]. All of these sites have been restored and are accessible through a Google search. The removal occurred as the result of an outside attempt to abuse Google's automated web page removal tool -- a free service we provide webmasters who would like to remove web pages they own from Google's index. Upon discovering this bug, we fixed it immediately. We will also perform a thorough analysis to ensure additional web pages were not inappropriately removed.'
