Well...for about 55 minutes this morning...according to Google.
Seems there was an error and Google was reporting in search results for every, and I do mean every, website that it 'may harm your computer'.
I was on this morning checking serps for my site
http://freebacklink.net (don't you just hate blatant self-promotion...me too
), which, btw, is #6 for free backlink, when, much to my horror, I noticed that Google had 'this site may harm your computer' listed for my website
.
Looking around at the other results, I noticed all of the results had the same warning. I did a search for popular sites like Yahoo, and they had the same warning. Every single website came up with a warning 'this site may harm your computer'.
Google has posted about it on their blog:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-your-computer-on.htmlI wonder how much traffic some of the higher ranked sites may have lost due to that error?
