Hi!
Interestingly, they mentioned that Yahoo have started putting ads alongside some of their redirection sides and that they might be profiting from it.
Do you really think seeing Geocities in all kinds of public and local blacklists would help them? Dont think its as simple as you put it.
And why do you think spammy is using Geocities for ?
They perfectly know no responsible administrator can 'simply' blacklist Geocities.
If blacklisting was an option we would not be discussing the issue.
In my view, the reason they started putting ads on the redirected links is because they know wget is still around the corner. Without ads, they can't claim such actions would result in any financial losses. Now that they have put ads in the redirection, they can sue anyone 'interfering' with the spammy sites.
As the events unfold, Geocities / Yahoo spam support activities will become more clear.
