The NewsFutures website had always been very high for the “prediction markets” request. For years, it had been in the top 4 of the search results. Not anymore. Now, the NewsFutures website is not even in the top 10.
Emile and Maurice have modified the structure of their website. Now, http://www.newsfutures.com/ leads to http://us.newsfutures.com/home/home.html, which has no PageRank, right now. Makes no sense at all.
Anyway, the downgrading is temporary, and NewsFutures will, later on, regain weight with Google —maybe.
AUGUST 2009′S UPDATE: NewsFutures is now on the 1st page again.
