The logical thing to do would be to provide that feedback as part of the assessment, if they're linking to a compromised site. Even that seems flawed, however. If OPs site is marked as compromised (and isnt) and someone links to it, will they then also be denied access to advertising because their site is now compromised? Soon thereafter I imagine that we have a runaway cascade and everyone is "compromised".
