Exclamation Travel.Yahoo.Com is Destroying Family Travel Agencies

Results 1 - 10 of about 119,000 from yahoo.com for london motels.

Just one more example as to how Yahoo is spamming the Google index with it's
Travel websites.

I Highly Recommend ALL Webmasters of Travel based pages
Write Google and Complain about this Unfair Practice By Yahoo
with Travel.Yahoo.com

One of many many blatant spamming tactics!

It's funny because travel affiliates are some of the most spammy affiliates on the net. Then a big company like Yahoo does it legitametely and you cry about it.

Sorry... where are the spam tactics?

I've only seen a lot of pages with good info about hotels, motels and so on.

In th other hand, times are changing and this is only an example of what we will see in next years: big companies make big business. It's happens on the offline world, why it should not happen on the web?

Twebdonny -

I hope this isn't just a one poster and you come back to have a discussion. How are related results a SPAM by Yahoo? You may have sour grapes about not being number 1 but how can you criticize a company that ACTUALLY has info about london hotels coming up first? If it wasn't Yahoo would you still be crying.

I would start optimizing your own site instead of taking up your time crying to Google. This is why Google can't respond to ACTUAL spam reports - because you are filling their mailbox with this.
