Google Braces For Removal Requests Following EU RTF Ruling

June 4, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

RTF Ruling The residents of Europe who are worried some of their information on public record and published online might ruin their reputation now have the right to request the removal of that information from search results, and Google is bracing for countless such requests from 28 countries in Europe.

Citing a story by Reuters, Search Engine Land says a European Court has ruled that everyone on the continent has a “right to be forgotten” (RTF). With the ruling, individuals can now request and eventually demand that search engines—Google included—remove from search results any unflattering or undesired information about themselves even if the said content is legally published and maintained. A personal bankruptcy is one such undesired information that an individual can request to remove from search results.

Yahoo Search Share Likely to Slip Below 10 Percent Next Month

May 27, 2014 by James Seymour

Tweet

yahoo search shareDespite its partnership with Microsoft, Yahoo’s search share continues to dip, as its rankings in comScore’s “May 2014 U.S. Search Engine Rankings” is likely to hit below the 10 percent mark, according to SearchEngineLand.

SearchEngineLand bases its prediction on the comScore’s rankings last month, when Yahoo only managed to record a 10% share, down 0.1 percent from March. In contrast, both Microsoft and Google registered a 0.1% increase from March.

If the predicted ranking of Yahoo on the next comScore report comes true, it will represent the lowest recorded search number for the pioneering search engine since comScore started making the reports.

Yahoo’s rankings are a far cry from its 19.3 share of the US market in July 2009, when its partnership with Microsoft was announced. While Microsoft’s search share steadily rose, Yahoo’s continually declined over the years.
