Demonoid, the Internet’s largest semi-private tracker, has seen one of its domain names completely delisted by Google.

Anyone searching for Demonoid.cc using Google will draw a blank, as the search giant has removed all .CC results from its listings.

Google detail their decision as follows:

Over the past few months, Google’s systems have detected a number of bulk subdomain providers becoming targets of abuse by malware distributors. Bulk subdomain providers register a domain name, like example.com, and then sell subdomains of this domain name, like subdomain.example.com.

Subdomains are often registered by the thousands at one time and are used to distribute malware and fake anti-virus products on the web. In some cases our malware scanners have found more than 50,000 malware domains from a single bulk provider.

In a nutshell, .CC domains are used heavily by spammers, so Google has banned them all. However, if Demonoid wants its .CC domain reinstated, there is an appeals process.

“If you feel that your particular site is in line with our Webmaster Guidelines, I would recommend submitting a reconsideration request,” explains Google’s JohnMu.

Demonoid still has other URLs including .ME and .COM – the former conveniently appears when people search for .CC on Google.
