Thread: Google could pay for indexing content

Microsoft has had several discussions with News Corp, in attempt to convince the media giant to "de-index" from Google the articles published on Microsoft websites. Microsoft is willing to pay News Corp for publications such as articles made by Wall Street Journal and The Sun to be "de-indexed", so Google search engine will no longer have access to the publications.
According to a publisher contacted by Microsoft, such a plan "gives strong importance to the value of the content, in the conditions in which search engines are ready to pay in order to be able to index the information".
The interest that Microsoft gives to the online content, could be interpreted as a direct assault on Google, for this way pressures are placed on search engines to pay for content, instead of getting it for free. The only question is what will make google pay for your content, and not for your competitor's ?

That would be a fantastic coup for Bing if they successed

Indeed, Bing would have a great advantage.

BING!

Hate the way MS tries to bully his way around the business world...
