That's really scarry... It really hard to stop spam....

[zeruel]

Geez! That's freakin me out!

I hope google or any other SE's would do more actions regarding this issue...

[Natural Elements]

Yep, some people should use their knowledge for a good cause instead doing bad things.

IMO, SEOs that does unethical strategies are just spoiling the SEs. They wouldn't care about the consequences at all, for them, its all about fast results and money.

SEO was a continuous way of learning., to need to find new way/techniques so that you can go with the flow.,

[potchie]

such scary but, but in order to flow in this business you must learn things, to explore and where is the best way to get new techniques analytically.

Learning black hat SEO technics with malwares, trojan, etc... seems to pass the red line to me.

[tophost]

That such sites manage to make it on the first pages of the SERPs only shows how vulnerable the search engines really are, how vulnerable their algorithms I mean. I'll always wonder how these people find the time and money resources to engage in such practices. And for what? For a moment of glory? Is that really worth it?

That's right continuous of learning and find more technique about seo process and also to share what they learn..

[solidghost]

Ouch.....so I guess one of the important things to do when you are searching on google is not to use those rarely searched terms?

Is Google powerless against them?

[bobchrist]

I think google take care about that, they penalize those malware sites once get noticed, recently they've taken down 40K around such sites. http://google.blognewschannel.com/ar...re-site-purge/

absolutely right jhen., I must agree with you too., it also a matter of sharing.,

It's been referred to as "Google poisoning" or "SEO poisoning," and it's no wonder. A potential victim, who might not have all of the patches their system really needs, performs an innocent search on Google - on the phrase "Christmas gifts" in hope of ideas, perhaps, or even "hospice" to get information for a critically ill friend or loved one. Clicking on a link leads to a site which prompts them to install the latest ActiveX control, or possibly to get a free scan for spyware. And that's where the trouble begins.

My advice is if you land on a site which prompts you to install something, do NOT! install anything.

Makes sense to me... like not clicking through a paypal phishing link, instead go to the source. If you want ActiveX or whatever, get it from the source, not from another site.

Its still scary though.
