Internet Explorer 6 Flaw Growing!
This latest flaw allows the execution of arbitrary code which means a Windows XP computer running Internet Explorer 6 can be completely compromised by visiting a malicious website.
More than 200 Web sites -- many of them belonging to legitimate businesses -- have been hacked and seeded with code that tries to take advantage of a unpatched security hole in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to install hostile code on Windows computers when users merely visit the sites.
Right now there are some reasonably feasible solutions for Windows PC users:
- Disable active scripting in Internet Explorer (will make other sites with no flaws not work also).
- Enable hardware-enforced DEP if you have the right hardware. (you probably dont)
- Use an alternate browser like Opera or Firefox. (Recommended)
- Do not run Windows as an Administrator. (Make and Run Windows under another limited user account also recommended)

Black Hat Search Engine Optimization - A Big No-No!
There are several things, considered "spamming", that you can do to try to get your page listed higher on a search engine results page. Basically, you should NEVER try to trick a search engine in any way, or you risk being blacklisted by them. Since the majority of your traffic will come from search engines the risk far outweighs the benefits in the long run. Below is a list of the more common things we recommend that you never do when trying to achieve better listings.
- Do anything to trick the search engines into listing your site better
- Use the same color text on your page as the page's background color.
- Use multiple instances of the same tag. For example, using more than one title tag. Search engines can detect this and view it as spam.
- Submit identical pages.
- Submit the same page to any engine more than once within 24hrs.
- Use any keywords in your keywords meta tag that do not directly relate to the content of your page.
