SiteAdvisor shows grey for my site despite it being Mcafee Secure certified

I have started the Mcafee Secure 14-day trial on my website InsightTuition.com, implemented the TrustMark and everything, but SiteAdvisor still shows it as grey/unrated.

I thought when you certified your website with Mcafee Secure, it made it green with a "Mcafee Secure" logo?

Re: SiteAdvisor shows grey for my site despite it being Mcafee Secure certified

SiteAdvisor uses a different database I think.   So to be approved by them is a separate matter.  It says right now:

This link isn't rated. Either we don't have enough information, or we haven't tested      it yet. Proceed with caution.

I also notice that Web of Trust WoT also has no rating for it by the way.

This may help with SA at least:  https://community.mcafee.com/message/68874#68874 and https://community.mcafee.com/message/66185#66185

From the McAfee Secure website (see for example

https://www.mcafeesecure.com/verify?host=www.mcafee.com

The McAfee Secure trustmark only appears when the website has passed our intensive, daily security scan, which tests for a range of issues.

You can't have a McAfee Secure mark on an untested site, but once it is tested the Secure sign says it's re-tested daily.

I advise you to go to the TrustedSource page at https://www.trustedsource.org/?p=mcafee and register with TrustedSource, then select SiteAdvisor from the dropdown menu and enter your domain name to get the site's classification (currently it is "Uncategorized"). You can then provide a suitable category to describe your site and ask whether testing has been completed. Note that testing a new site can take several days or even weeks, so I think your free trial of McAfee Secure is perhaps a little premature.
