Google’s Overzealous Badware Filter
I’ve run across a couple sites that, after some in depth checking, should not be receiving Google’s “Badware” filter warning. This filter, which can be found here, http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://www.livedigitally.com/ warns people who are about to visit the website from a Google results page.
LiveDigitally.com, while detailed as a badware site, is almost certainly not. What does that mean? Google doesn’t send them traffic (it stops at the interstital loading page) and they don’t cache your site. They do show similar pages. Here is a sample of the pages google finds similar to this “Badware” site… WordPress.org, The-Gageteer.com, SlingMedia.com. Now *that* is bad company.. right.
