The data breach eBay seems to have cost the company more than the loss of trust from them users her. As it seems, the leakage δεδομένων κόστισε στην εταιρεία και την κατάταξη της στο Google.
The largest online marketplace doesn't seem to show up as often as it did in Google's search results as of this week, which is kind of surprising considering how big the company is. While initially it seemed to have something to do with the news information of Google's algorithm, it seems like there's more to this story.
According to Search Engine Land, Google hit eBay with a manual sentence, which means someone on Google judged that eBay needed a slap and thus changed the ranking of the site. While it is true that the new Panda 4.0 could be the cause, the odds are that it was a combination of both.
The timing of eBay's ranking problems coincides with the violation of data that compromises over 145 millions of users. We all know that names, e-mail addresses, and other personal information, including passwords, have leaked, although at least the passwords are believed to have been encrypted.
Banking information as well as credit card details are safe, according to the company.
In the wake of his briefing Panda 4.0 algorithm, eBay seems to have lost its keyword impressions starting with "www.ebay.com/bhp." Of the 120.000 pages on eBay, the ones that have the word BHP in them are missing out on positive reviews. We are talking about about 90.000 pages.
