    Post BWM blacklisted by Google

    Google has flexed its muscles and dropped BMW Germany from its search engine following the German car manufacturer’s attempts to artificially boost its popularity ranking...

    The delisting will mean that searching for terms like "BMW" or "BMW Germany" on Google will not return a direct link to the car company's German website, bmw.com.de, but instead the global site.

    Moreover, bmw.com.de's PageRank, the algorithms that assign every page on the web a sort of popularity ranking, has been reset to zero.

    quite a kick in the balls for BMW. I guess we are seeing real damage in dollars that can be done by a simple Zero.
