Hi Tim.

This is indeed weird and it is related to something I have noticed this week, too. I recall many years ago when Yahoo Groups used to count as backlinks at Google, but then Google stopped indexing them. However, most recently I noticed that Google has been indexing articles we post for clients at Yahoo Groups.

Furthermore, I noticed that Yahoo’s Site Explorer is showing nofollow backlinks, including those from Matt Cutt’s Google Blog. Kinky. Kinky. Kinky. So I blogged about Yahoo violating the nofollow convention.

But, wait! It get’s better. Yesterday I was wandering through my webmaster tools at Google and found some interesting backlinks from blogs that I knew I had commented on but also I knew were nofollow. This is just too weird.

@Olaf when we see the badware message on Yahoo we will know why

@Matt I was impressed imagine if Yahoo then crawled Google some sort of weird loop could occur, indeed the temptation was to link to the whole thing wait for the engines to index them, and cause a weird paradoxical explosion at Yahoo and Google headquarters as they end up in an infinite loop.

Ultimately it just proves how much spam their is in the search engines doubled with some occasional glitches. The problem here is actually MSN generating RSS feeds incorrectly and causing Google to interpret them as undefined XML.

Dear god that is insane. Did time and space just tear? I guess it proves all the engines mooch off of each other for automated help.

I’m not surprised, since Google is just a machine or some software it doesn’t know how a nude woman looks like

I guess the googlebot is infected by some MS-Virus(2007), this way the bot is irritated and recognize some normal website as a porn site and the rss feed from MSN which is a Yahoo feed could be a porn feed too…lol

I think now will google ban the feed too
