" Okay, fine. So we submitted a Trusted Feed. The review came back fine and the site was approved and the site was back in Yahoo! generating nice traffic."

This is not surprising and actually makes sense.

If you did a Trusted Feed, then the FEED (and not the actual page) went through a quality review, to ensure it wasn't violating the Terms of Service. I do believe their is checking of the actual site to ensure that the feed reflects the content of the site but not of the optimization (or over optimization) because that is done in the feed. And the feed is what is going to provide the index with information on the ranking.

So no need to get the rat traps out!
