Apparently, my rival has successfully removed my site from yahoo search index by just reporting copyright infringement to yahoo. Obviously my site has nothing to do with copyright infringement. There is no pirated file, no illegal content, no link to illegal content, no torrent, no nothing. And yahoo is too stupid to follow the request without asking for court order, legal document, or anything to prove that there is copyright infringement case. So I strongly encourage all of you to file a request with yahoo to remove all your rival websites. Yahoo will blindly remove them, in 48h. It's absolutely free! No string attached. Removal is GUARANTEED!!! To remove your rivals, visit: http://docs.yahoo.com/info/copyright/copyright.html Or just drop an email with subject "remove rival.com" with blank body to
Did you try to contact back Yahoo to ask for reinsertion? ...Or did you report back your competitor site, TO HAVE THEM REMOVED as well??
How do you know this happened? I have never known Yahoo to email someone when their site was removed from the index. How do you know that was the reason?
i'd like to remove everyone listed for "hotels" from yahoo and my site would be first and only one there.
While I can understand you are annoyed, you're very irresponsible for giving people such ideas - or at least spreading it.
I think it is pretty clear that the OP was just drawing attention to the fact that Yahoo was irresponsible in their actions. I read only sarcasm in the post.
Hi, please do reply and prove your innocence and don't let them slide. You'll come out on top, I'm sure.
Yahoo should clearly check the copyright violation whenever any one drops an email. Without doing any investigation or taking the affected party into consideration, simply removing the url from the index doesn't look nice.
