I am at webmaster world pub conference right now. I was so impressed by the presentaion by Tim Mayer (Yahoo/Ink) today. He addressed many issues including this very one. He did not expound in great detail what exactly is on tap, but he did address it and said that a solution is in the works. I'm sure it may help many of you to know that it appears that there will be a way to get your site reviewed in the near future for possible penalties. If your site was inadvertantly penalized, or even if it had a warranted penalty slapped on it, and you have since cleaned up your act... there is hope.

If there is one thing I have taken away from this conference, it's that Yahoo is listening to the webmaster community and reaching out. That is a great sign.

I am one of those who (in my eyes) was inadvertantly hit with some kind of penalty. I guess you could call it "collateral damage." I suppose that sometimes the innocent get hit in the war against spam and that's understandable. I'm encouraged by these latest developments and the moves Yahoo is making. It's been a loooong road for us... fingers are crossed.
