Don't laugh, people who "report" for SiteAdvisor do. I don't know who does the testing, but Ben Edelman was involved with them before they were bought out by McAfee, not sure if he still is or not. I know that a lot of the people who post comments about a site are people like you and me and everyone else here, so not experts by any means. But who actually affects the SiteAdvisor rankings of a site, I really don't know.

I put a comment about my own site and they never bothered to reply.

Bottomline is that they are NOT accurate, we can laugh about it all we want, the fact still remains that all those who have McAfee products on their computers also have SiteAdvisor.

Are all those surfers going to laugh and ignore warnings when they see that a site makes unauthorized changes to their computer or sends them tons of spam or are they going to simply avoid signing up?
