Cnet's Download.com and the installer scam
mahesh2k:
I made a request to Duckduckgo author for blacklisting such domains, read this discussion. I may even tweet to web spam team of google (matt cutts) on this issue. My argument is still the same - "ranking original author or leech sites". Till then- viva la insomnia.
skwire:
FWIW, CNet removed their installer stub from my software after I sent an email to [email protected].
app103:
Tucows is now doing this crap too.
mouser:
You have got to be kidding me.. Are they all going to try to get away with this now?
mahesh2k:
I didn't get much good response from the people at duck.co, they think such type of practice is fair and reporting such site is "false positive" in their book. So i don't know how google and other search engines will respond. It's a feeling like getting crushed by big corps and yes they'll get away with this.
