How to Document a DMCA Counter Notice to Google

If you’ve received an email from Google notifying you of content copyright infringement and that some URLs on your site will have to be delisted from the search, the right step is to click on the appropriate link in the email and file/submit a counter-notice to Google in return.

Alternatively, you can use the direct link here which can always be found on the Google’s help/support page to file the DMCA counter-notice.

For the sake of this instructional training tutorial, let’s assume you’ve got such an email from Google and you’re ready to click on the appropriate link. This link is found under “What you can do next:” Here is a screenshot showing you where to find it.

Once clicked, you’ll be redirected to the “DMCA counter notification form” page where you’re going to fill up all the necessary details. It’s quite easy and very simple to fill. The very part that may complicate the process is where they ask you, "Please provide more details to justify your notice”. This may be the only complicating area, provided you don’t have what it takes to justify your request.

Based on the criticality of your issue, you can include enough details as could be expected under the circumstance to enable the analyst to research the issue and take the most appropriate actions.
