I wanted to write a quick article here on Crenk to show how Google’s Panda update has hurt our site. I’m hoping that someone from Google actually reads this article and notices that there is still a big issue here!

Yesterday one of our authors wrote an amazing how to article titled: How to Download and Burn Hulu Movie to DVD.

The article is completely original, it’s over 400 words in length and provides a detailed step by step guide. This article is the epitome of original content!

I wanted to see where this article was actually ranking within Google for the keywords: burn hulu movie to dvd.

I would have thought that the original Crenk article would have been in the top 50 at least. However, after searching the top 100 article we didn’t appear. Bad times!

Then, I discovered that 4 websites scraping our content are ranking within the top 100, one even ranks just outside the top 10. How is this providing good search results?

It would be great if someone from Google could please take a look and let us know why this is happening!

It will now be interesting to see if Google does the same. This may affect Demand Media’s recent IPO, in which the majority of their revenues come directly from Google.
