Google starts April off with a bang!

[Eric]

Hi all,

I up into the night watching Googles actions and it looks like Australians are really sweating it at the moment. Every .com.au domain has been removed form G's index. It happened about 3 hours ago. The entire country is gone from Google.

Search for all domains with a .com.au in the domain name:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...allinurl:com.au

Nothing!

Look at the PR for this one:

Nothing!

I really do hope this is an April fools joke. Otherwise I feel sorry for Australians.

Checked it again, still nothing. I bet SEO's are being woken up, this could be serious if it doesnt change quick. Anybody know what is going on?

ok seems to be fixed now but the page rank is still missing. That was weird, it was out for about 3 hours.

Eric,
Excellent observation, I am sure Google could not just blank out a whole country, it must be just a quirky Google dance

Even Google.com.au was out for about 3 hours. Crazy isnt it?

Well, it shows google was impartial
