The top quality websites and blogs out there depend on fresh, unique information as well as massive loads of content to pull in visitors and potential customers to their sites.

On the flipside, you’ve probably heard of spam or scam blogs…over even webpages filled with nothing at all but adsense ads. But thanks in part to the search engines and people becoming more aware, these rubbish sites could be a thing of the past.

The fact still stands: You will need a constant flow of fresh, unique postings on your blogs or webpages not only to be indexed by the search engine spiders, but people in your niche market can also refer to when the need arises. And every niche, regardless of its focus in making money or weight loss guides has to offer value in the form of content on their blogs or follow up emails…

Internet Security is not a luxury

Over the weekend, several people noticed attacks originating from a malicious ad placed at nytimes.com. Viewers were redirected to what we call a fake, or rogue antispy page, where the webpage pretends to scan your computer, and then tries to convince you to install some nifty antivirus program to clean it up-oh-but-you-have-to-register-first-put-your-credit-card-here-mr-victim. Nothing new there… it’s the most common thing we see everyday.

Being heavily involved in Internet Security we’ve been watching this particular style of rogue attack since about March, and just happened to have them under the microscope over the weekend, and here’s the interesting thing… normally, we see 10-15,000 such detections each day, but from about last Thursday thru Sunday, it spiked to 160-170,000 per day. It dropped off today to about 20,000.

The attacks seemed to come from two main types of lures, with the first being advertisments, including the fake one on nytimes, and lots of Flash banner ads, and the second being searches for “newsie” events like Kanye and Taylor, and Patrick Swayze, and Serena Williams.

It’s ever so impressive how quickly they not only react, but also point the news search results at their hijacked lure machines. In other words, not only are they quick to react to something news worthy, but they are somehow able to get their hijacked machines right up to the top of the google and bing searches. These guys are flat-out clever.

In summary, not only was there a huge spike in activity by this particular group (or groups), but they quickly were able to manipulate the search engines.

It goes without saying that LinkScanner is able to detect and block these attacks, but it’s a dangerous Web folks. Linkscanner is an integral part of AVG Internet security.
