Hi all,
I have a friend who has been dealing with a mugshot (arrest, later dismissed) for the past year that I’ve been helping out with. With a mix of social profiles, a website and Google’s own work to devalue mugshot website in search, we pushed two particularly egregious sites — Rapsheets.org and BailBondCity.com — down to page 5 and 10 respectively.
However, twice in the past year, these sites have swapped domain names to evade some of Google’s suppression algorithms by rebranding to Rapsheetz.com and BailBondSearch.com. They eventually fell down the rankings again to pages 10 and 12 respectively.
A few weeks ago, these sites once again swapped their domain names to PublicPoliceRecord.com and BailBondsHQ.com and are once again ranking on page 1 & 2.
My question is how Google treats domain name swaps for lower ranking sites — and if anyone here expects these sites to suffer after the sheen of a new domain name wears off.
TL;DR: Mugshot websites are scum and several are engaging in domain name changes to skirt Google’s suppression of their exploitative sites. Does Google catch on? (They seem to have done so before.)
