Hello All,
I am using Yahoo News API on my site to let the user search news for their keyowrd. Is it scrapping according to G and eventually leads to exclusion from serps?

Thanks

Which API are you specifically referring to? I don't know how an official Yahoo API can get you booted from Google, other than possibly causing duplicate content issues.

Have they told you that in writing? I guess services like Moreover.com will get you banned also then.

I doubt that since many of those services use javascript, etc. The users sees headlines on the page but the spiders just see a few lines of code in your html. You could have a problem if you use an API to datamine and then republish that data, but that is different.

I actually do that on the site that recently got banned and hasn't been reincluded. I wonder if that could be the reason.
I do it in order to not have a slow down loading crap from other servers on my site. I still list the link to moreover.com and keep the links the same.
