Why does Google think Infogami will harm my computer?
- lupin_sansei 19y agoApparently Google is now detecting potential malware when it indexes pages, and then warning users. Is there really malware on Infogami?
- staunch 19y agoInfogami let's any random person put stuff on their domain, so there's a lot of spam and crap there. Google detected it and now the whole domain is considered unsafe. I'm guessing some page contains an IE exploit or links to spyware. Links to "credit_card_numbers_generator.exe" here: http://creditcardgenerator.infogami.com http://creditcardgenerator.infogami.com
- lupin_sansei 19y agoMakes sense.
- zach 19y agoIt's sort of like what happens when you leave a house abandoned.
- lupin_sansei 19y agoI wonder why Aaron did that? If it was me I would have kept Google Adsense on Infogami and tried to make a living out of maintaining and improving it.
- nostrademons 19y agoInfogami was sold along with Reddit to Conde Nast, and Aaron doesn't work there any more.
- lupin_sansei 19y agoYou can't actually click through Google's warning either http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://infogami.com/ http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://infogami.com/ that's going to hurt traffic.
- cmars232 19y agoOddly enough, this was enough publicity for me to set up an Infogami site. Probably not the best publicity for the general molasses though. This might totally be a mistake, but Google is looking more and more like a big obnoxious uncaring hollow shell of its former self if there ever was one every day. This doesn't exactly help bolster my impression of Google.
- Tichy 19y agoI wonder if it negatively affects your page rank if such a page links to you? Meaning will Google just ignore the link, or will it have a negative weight? I hope they just ignore it, otherwise it would be too easy to harm the competition.
- nickb 19y agoInfogami's, unfortunately, full of spam. That probably has something to do with that.
