Boycott Yahoo: The Last (?) Update

It seems that redirecting the Yahoo users will lead only to three things:

a) Visitors seeing theirselves on the Amnesty website without knowing why, will close the browser window without reading.

b) Yahoo removing me from their indexes.

c) Nobody joining me, for the fear of point b.

So I’m trying a softer approach, diplaying a brief and well visible text, for Yahoo users eyes only.

Copy and paste the code into your blog template to do the same. Go here to view it in action.

Sembra che redirigendo gli utenti Yahoo otterro’ soltanto tre cose:

a) I visitatori, vedendosi catapultati sul sito di Amnesty senza sapere perche’, chiuderanno il browser senza leggere l’articolo.

b) Yahoo mi rimuovera’ dai suoi indici.

c) Nessuno mi imitera’ per paura del punto b.

Quindi, provo un approccio piu’ soft, con un breve testo ben visibile ma solo a chi proviene da Yahoo.

Copia e incolla il codice nel template del tuo blog per fare lo stesso. Qui un esempio del risultato.

<script type=”text/javascript”> if (document.referrer.split(‘/’)[2].indexOf(‘.yahoo.’)!=’-1′) {  document.write(‘
<div style="text-align: center;">‘); document.write(‘<br />
<table style="background-color:#3CAC94; color:white;" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="40%">‘); document.write(‘
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Yahoo sign" src="http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2821/yahoo200x1603ia.jpg">‘); document.write(‘</div>
<p>Yahoo sign outside headquarters, Sunnyvale, California.<br />‘); document.write(‘(C) AP GraphicsBank</td>
<p>‘); document.write(‘
<td valign="top" width="60%">Dear Yahoo user,</p>
<p>On April 27, 2005, <b>Shi Tao</b> ‘); document.write(‘(a Chinese journalist) received a ten-year prison term for sending information about a ‘); document.write(‘<span style="font-style: italic;">Communist Party</span> decision through his ‘); document.write(‘<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Yahoo</span> email account ‘); document.write(‘to a website based in the United States. ‘);   document.write(‘(Source: <a href="http://web.amnesty.org/pages/chn-310106-action-eng">Amnesty</a>)</p>
<p>‘); document.write(‘In response to this, I am asking all the surfers that come here thru the Yahoo search ‘); document.write(‘engine, to join the Amnesty International campaign to highlight Yahoo responsibility ‘); document.write(‘towards human rights in China and wherever it operates. ‘); document.write(‘<a href="http://dekku.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-yahoo.html">Click here to learn more!</a>‘); document.write(‘</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>‘); } </script>
