Joe M asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Search · 1 decade ago

Why does Yahoo assist blackmailers_?

When I entered the search terms "Charles Dickens Heritage Foundation" the first hit was for a porno site. Now I know the lady who is the real Dickens Heritage Foundation chairperson and also that she was contacted by a guy who bought her site name when the registration lapsed last year. The crook said if she did not buy the web site name back he would fix her by linking to porno sites which he did. How do you notify Yahoo of this aggregious misuse of their search engine?

    Yahoo is finding the correct URL, The site represented by the URL has changed. This is not Yahoo's fault, the lady who ran the Dickens Heritage Foundation should not have let the registration lapse.

    This has nothing to do with Yahoo! They do not control the domain you mentioned.

    The criminal is the person who linked the domain name to the porno web site.

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    How is it Yahoos fault.

    They can only search on the keywords the site puts into it's header information.
