Google cracking down on harmful website content!

    I was doing my daily routine today and trying to find some relevant link partners for one of my clients when I ran into something I have never run into before, a Google content advisory warning.

    I have blogged about it, click here to read about Google Content Advisory Warning.

    cheers

    Visiting this website may be harmful to you computer? Interesting, wonder how they decide that criteria.

    Interesting thing is why they don't kill those sites from their index.

    You are right, it is interesting. BUT - I think google is trying to remain unbiased, and they don't want to be seen as "tinkering" with their index. They still want the user to decide. They just provide a friendly warning for those who may not know better.

    I do understand the point you are making grobar, and I appreciate it, but they (Google) does ask us not to link to "bad neighbors" - so isn't this kinda the same thing. I tell you one thing I would rather get an MFA site than one of these babies!
