Google Blocks .co.cc Subdomains.

         Google has blocked about some 11 million .co.cc subdomain sites to cut down on malware. The .co.cc is a domain owned by a Korean web site - www.co.cc It doesn’t belong to any country. The service is fully legitimate and has nothing to do with spam, but it offers free subdomain names and only charges for bulk orders. This free services has attracted a ton of unwanted attention.It’s been so popular that a big chunk of spam originates from this domain.

         If you have a site/sites with co.cc subdomain, they won’t show up in Google search results. Even that you’ll still be able to access them, it will deeply decrease your site traffic because traffics usually com from search engine. While Google was known as the most popular search engine, it will have a big effect on your site traffics. Another interesting or might be important thing to remind is that Google’s Adsense program, which is used across the web, was also blocked to .co.cc sites. Which mean loss of a way to monetize your site.
