Report Spam to Google, MSN, and Yahoo

I created a little umbrella which enables spam reports to be 'forked' to
Google, MSN and Yahoo. Since all are contained in the same window, copy and
paste is a snap.

Thanks Roy. I've bookmarked it.
My only "gripe" is that they sideways scroll. I would prefer it to
vertically scroll, but that's just me I guess <g>

Thanks again

I thought about cutting the horizontal scrollbars (in the frameset
definition), but MSN gives a hard time because it needs 800 pixels
(horizontally) just to fit properly, for which a dual-head display would
probably be needed. Could one possibly strip stylesheets from pages that are
imported as frames? I am fairly sure I can't unless the Web browser permits
it.

I guess a form filling bot would be nicer. There is no CAPTCHA or a
challenging question in any of the pages, but as they change, this requires
maintenance. This is also sensitive to abuse...

Leave it as it is Roy.
It's not going to be a site where one spends hours on, or visiting
every 5 minutes, so I am sure people would put up with it. I will.

Hey, that's a great idea. Bookmarked. I'm gonna' link that in my search
engine optimization resources on my web site, OK?

I know I somewhat discourage spam reporting, but just between us, I use it
sometimes. Well, I use it often. Ok, I use it everyday.

Just a note Andrew, I noticed a spelling mistake in your Entrance page's
Description : assit

http://www.seo2seo.com/

It may be spelled like that intentionally, I don't know. Just thought I'd
mention it. Hope it was the right thing to do. Would look rather odd in a SE
description, I would think.

Wonderful. Thanks, Fred!

I know I somewhat discourage spam reporting, but just between us, I use it
sometimes. Well, I use it often. Ok, I use it everyday.

Oddly enough, I hadn't tested it before posting the URL. It took me a few
minutes to set up, so I got very excited and decided to have it 'exposed'
prematurely.

My original intent was to write a script with auto-completion abilities, yet
this could lead me to trouble. The ideal would have probably been a toolbar
where you could just enter a URL with some short description and report it
as spam to all 3 engines in one feel swoop. You could go through your SERP's
and report spam or duplicates of your content /en masse/ (maybe a
drag-and-drop job?).

Anyway, frames should not cause any issues because they are usually
transparent to the 'framed' site, but I still needed to test. A few hours
ago, as test for operability, I needed to report *something*. So, guess what
I did? I reported google.groups.com as unoriginal content (fair enough),
only to confirm that all scripts received the request successfully.
Honestly, it was probably better than filling the boxes in 3 forms with
"test", right?

Best wishes and many thanks,

Roy

It's fine, just the way it is.
