Google’s SOPA Protest Won’t Hurt Online Search Rankings

You may have noticed something different when you went to Google’s homepage. Instead of the usual doodles that they are famous for incorporating into their logo, a black box covered the popular search engine.

Google joins other sites including Wikipedia in protest of SOPA-a proposed legislation that many consider a form of censorship on the internet rather than protecting copyrighted or “so-called” the piracy of content.

Thankfully, Google states that their protest will not do anything to effect its search rankings. To take a stand, you can go to Google’s homepage and sing the online petition.
