Google-Free Zone – The Empire Strikes Back

(rt) Dr. Karl-Friedich Lenz isn’t just anybody, as far as Google is concerned. As a professor at Aoyaman Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan he runs several weblogs of his own (English, German, Japanese), and his English blog holds a stately PR of 7.

But he is not at all amused with Google’s recent antics and has blocked any traffic generated by this search engine. He has also – this is a nice one! – implemented code to redirect it to Yahoo! instead. (Unfortunately, while the access block works fine, the redirection doesn’t currently, at least not from where we are, though Nathan Weinberg has confirmed it. This may be related to the surfer’s origin and could depend on which national instance of Google she is making use of.)

You can try it out for yourself here:

(Click on any result.)

More importantly, read Lenz’s take here: → Rewriting Requests from Google

Maybe it’s nothing more than a mildly eccentric singularity – but then again, it might well be a new trend in the making, a trend moreover, which could seriously hurt Google’s business if it should catch on on a large scale. Perhaps they may want to give some second thoughts to the way they have been treating their support basis of late. Well, even a “black hat” may dream …
