There are certain websites that index my site contents in which search results are given to their advantage: what shall I do? where can I complain? what are the penalties for this? who are the regulating bodies?

I just took a look at it, and I see your point, it’s interesting though, I don’t know what to make of it, but from what I see your right on your part.

Do a Google search on “MySpace News Is Stealing Your Search Results” and look at how many sites are gaining search engine visibility with this very story.

I have e-mailed Tom via his profile regarding this pressing matter but haven’t heard back from him. Does he reply to e-mails? He has a lot of friends, so it might take awhile before he gets back to me.

I am trying to grasp why there are no quotes from MySpace in your article.

From my experience as an editor of an ivy league college newspaper, any writer who does not attribute his “facts” valid, trustworthy sources would most likely get fired.

Why do the editors of TechCrunch find this type of “reporting” permissible? MySpace might be owned by a large corporation, but that still does not warrant a biased attack such as this one.

I think techcrunch has lot all credibility after the PayPerPost story and this one. Then again, this isn’t MSNBC

I have a feeling this problem lies with google itself. MySpace news is big but I still feel it is a problem primarily with google.

So it seems like the consensus is that MySpace sucks? Maybe everyone who has posted here works for Facebook!! I’ve never even heard of MySpace News until now. What is it exactly? I visited the page and didn’t understand what I was looking at? What is “voting.” Why vote for news? Makes no sense. P.S. I don’t work for Facebook…I promise.

Roger: I agree with your sentiments. TC is both informative and entertaining. I love the fact that, even if you are friends with TC, they will still tear you apart if they hate your product (that happened to someone I know). No other blog is as honest and fun. Fortunately, MySpace isn’t some “innocent startup” and we can chop it up to little bits as much as we like…lol

Yet another vital issue exposed by TC. The relevancy here is startling, as some commenters have said. No innocent startup or corporate mogul should trust TC, but that is a GOOD thing–that means NO favortism. Sites like Mashable are TOO EASY on MySpace and PPP. Favoritism in media is what destroys us. It is why gossip journalism such as Access Hollywood has become nothing more than a place for Hollywood to promote their crap. In TC’s defense, this is true and objective reporting and Duncan is doing his JOB–a good one at that. Keep up the good work and don’t listen to the naysayers.

As Dave say, it’s a Google problem first. Because, frame is a way to help user in its navigation, to keep the context of its search.

Funny thing nobody in 83 replies has even brought up… Iframes don’t get crawled by spiders.

The title, sure, but not the content. Unless google just changed this recently or unless myspace is adding extra code and links in the iframe.

I found an article on CNN, but TechCrunch isn’t listed as a source. http://money.cnn.com/news/news.....752738.htm

Bob, why are you defending MySpace? TechCrunch’s reporting is thorough and objective. If none of their reporting on MySpace or MySpace News has been positive, it’s because there’s not much positive worth reporting about. MySpace is making a ton of money off of innocent bloggers. And what do the blog owners get out of it? I’d love to hear your defense, as I doubt that you’ll have much to defend yourself with.

Should we ask MySpace directly about this before we jump to any conclusions?
