At the time I submitted my site for testing with McAfee's Site Advisor as I noticed my site received a bad review as a spam/scam site. See here
.


From a development perspective, how important are things like this? I know from a user perspective, I stay away from the sites that have a bad rap in Site Advisor.
The bad review was not even related to my site content, but was given due to my registrar(think it's Enom). Now I have to question if anyone knows if it's normal for sites to be rated according to the registrar and not content?
This question is not so important but it interests me that after a year, my reply to my review has been ignored. I have to ask if it's even worth worrying anymore about this?

Since this question wasn't answered I figured I'd add my thoughts in case anyone else stumbles upon this question.


If it is bad from a user perspective it should be bad from a developer perspective as well. Why spend time and energy working on something that many people will not even bother to look at when the warning pops up?
I have never heard of a site being given a bad review because of the registrar. It doesn't make much sense to do it that way, especially with a well-known registrar. It seems like it would be the same as blocking a phone number based on who the carrier was, instead of who owned the phone number. I have several sites, and my host uses eNom as the "sponsoring registrar" and I have not noticed anything weird as a result.
As long as you want people to visit your site I would continue to worry about this. As a result of this there is a big red-flag above your door for many users that attempt to visit, and it would cause the majority of them to leave.
