Be Good With Your Emails Or You'll Get Outted By Yahoo!

Has anyone else seen these notices on Yahoo!? If you're thought of being a spammer by Yahoo they'll let everyone know.

I'm not sure how big the impact would be on Click Through Rates to natural results, but I'm sure it won't help!



Has anyone else seen them?

Yahoo! must be very sure they're right as I know how easy it is to look like an email spammer when you're actually sending people emails they've asked for. I hope this doesn't blow up in their faces - i.e. be sued!

Interesting, but what are their facts based on? If they are based on users selecting the 'junk' button then it's very unfair indeed. Most people mis-use the junk setting as 'anything I don't recognise'

That's a very VERY dangerous move by Yahoo!

Interesting find Lee. I would imagine that a lot of very big companies are about to get labelled with this if they are basing this on users hitting the "junk" button. Can't see them being too happy with that !
