Google has removed yahoo India maps from it’s index. Artifically, forcibly and manually. For a search query such as “yahoo india maps”, or “domain:yahoo.com india+maps”, I dont think there is any other site more relevant. Secondly, all the blogs that announced Yahoo maps’ arrival are very well in it’s index. And each one of these blogs have an inlink to in.maps.yahoo.com. Heck, even my pic on flickr is turning up. Googlebot knows how to reach the site then, right?. Not that I say technorati is right, but from what I see there, organically in.maps must atleast be third in the result list.

But that is not what is interesting. I saw in.maps.yahoo.com on google’s first search result page yesterday.

Dear Google, Do you know what you mean when you say “Dont be evil?”

Yours truly.
