EDM complain to google.

    So google did a great thing on stopping the EDM domains from ranking high in the search result. However it seems to work mostly with English searches. In local languages EDMs still rank high, sometimes higher than established local brands.
    I was wondering if there is a way to fill a complain to google about a EDM, and either or not someone else had previous experience.

    WTF are you talking about? Do you mean EMD's? Exact Matched Domains.

    If you do, then Google NEVER stopped them ranking high in the search results. Its still possible to rank an EMD high.
    All google did was remove the additional ranking benefit that EMD's had. They can still rank high for legit and other reasons.

    What is the point in complaining to google for?

    Rather rude but informative, however an empty website with a EMD ranks higher than mine , which is a brand, that was the subtext of my question.

    Let me get this straight you want to know if you can complain to Google because you don't like the fact that an EMD is outranking your website?

    You can report a website to Google for being low quality or spammy, I think.

    You have to look at it from Google's perspective. They are a giant database, and when someone types a query into their search bar they have to figure out whether the person is searching for an idea, a specific product, or specific domain.

    That's why exact match domains rank so well, because Google is not sure exactly what the person wants so they have to throw the possibility of the domain search high on the results.

    Google should not necessarily stop the EDM because it includes harm others.

    That is honestly great, because it was an unfair advantage in my opinion.

    It is still easier to rank EMD we have done tons of them and if you get the right EMD and the keyword is below a certain level in terms of ease then you can do them even easier. I have seen that EMD with MOZ difficulty ranks in the 30's and google planner of "low" can be very easy to rank.
