Makemetop and others: Maybe you haven't realized but many people have been slammed for a duplication penalty which is only because of the faulty way Yahoo is handling redirects.

Your site can be as clean as a whistle and you will still have the penalty. If you sign up for Site Match you will be APPROVED by the editorial quality team because there is nothing wrong with your site but you will receive no clicks because there is a duplication penalty (not a manual or editorial penalty by any means).

The way Yahoo is actually processing links is faulty right now causing many sites to get a duplication penalty when other sites link to them.
