Yahoo Flagging Harmful Websites in Search Results
Monday, June 02, 2008
With Yahoo’s recent search index this past week, we are noticing that Yahoo has followed in the steps of Google by marking harmful websites within their natural search results. We noticed when searching on the term “surge protection” that a warning message is produced “1 potential harmful website is marked on this page”. The flagged listing has a warning stating “Warning: Unsolicited Emails”. So it looks like Yahoo is taking it one step further then Google and actually using spam submission details. I like how Yahoo is now putting the Scarlet Letter on those who sending spam! Here are a couple of screen shots.
