How does your website get blacklisted?

How does your website become blacklisted by Google, Yahoo, Firefox and Internet Explorer?


1. You send out spam email


Sending out unwanted spam email is a sure-fire way to get blacklisted quickly. Instead of focusing on numbers of emails sent, create great content that your subscribers will want to read and share with others. Building your subscriber base will take time and effort. No easy street available.

2. You use Blackhat SEO Techniques

If you or your SEO hired firm are using Blackhat ( cheating) SEO techniques, this too can cause your website to be blacklisted. When Search Engines crawl the web and land on your website it can detect these methods and will penalize your page ranking if not completely ban you from the search results. Getting the Search Engine to re-index your website is very time consuming.

3. Your site is infected with malware code

Your website can get infected in many ways but let me keep it simple. Third party widgets, an example might be a "Traffic Counter" button you upload to your site. The widget "works" , it does the counting, but behind the scenes it is taking ALL the information from your visitors to your site. You could end up liable for this . Our advice, use trusted widgets only.

Other examples that might cause your website to be infected : Compromised web server, Malicious Advertisements, Compromised admin credentials to your website to name a few….

Security and monitoring of your website is a much overlooked issue by most. As more E-Commerce shops open, the threat levels will increase leaving many vulnerable.

Is the UKNL online sweepstakes a scam or a real prize?

Of course it has to be a scam! I just got an email from these people, and they're in the UK and I'm in America! How the hell did I win a lottery in the UK that I never signed up for, when I'm in America?

And if you really won, they should already have the information they're asking for. For example, YOUR NAME.

Don't fall for this fake crap. I read it once and automatically knew it was a scam.

Also, search up 'uknl lottery' in google. I dare you. What does the first result say?

Scam.

Make sure your password is absolutely unpredictable.

These are the kinds of things that anyone who knows you might eventually guess.

Then, change your password frequently, but not on a set schedule. Do not write your password down anywhere and do not share it with anyone.
