Day 46 of the ambatchdotcom SEOContest has arrived and we are still sitting in 4rth position!

Could be worse, but I wish it were top 3 :)

So close and yet so far…

Unfortuantely, I have to cross my fingers and hope that what I have done is enough to carry me into the top 3 spots for the end of the month, because I won’t be doing anything else for a few days …

The reason:

MY WIFE HAD A BABY!!!"


Wow, way to go Michael. Congrats on the new baby and congrats on your bid for the ambatchdotcom title.

Search Engine Marketing Blog by ineedhits: Google Now Guards Against Malicious Websites: "Google Now Guards Against Malicious Websites

At the start of 2006, a project was started aimed at reducing the risks presented by malicious software and websites that deceive users into installing such programs. The Stop Badware coalition (www.stopbadware.org), currently run by Harvard and Oxford universities, is primarily sponsored by Google, PC maker Lenovo and Sun Microsystems.

Eight months after the initiative started, Google has started utilizing the coalition's efforts to police their results. Whilst not banning malicious sites, users who click on links to sites listed in the Stop Badware coalition's database will be presented with a warning on Google.

Initial warnings will be a generic web page alert, but as more research into the malicious sites is completed, the warnings presented will include more detailed reports, offering specifics about the dangerous software used on the website."

Personally, I think that this is an absolute smashing idea. Perhaps by 2007 or 2008, we will wonder why this wasn't done right from the beginning.

The number of cpu cycles stolen by rogue software that installs itself after visiting a rogue site while using ( mostly microsoft's Internet Explorer ) is unimaginable.

If your computer, which you know was running pretty fast initially, is now running very very slowly, it could be due to disk defragmentation, but its just as likely that after a number of months or years, you have probably accumulated a number of spyway or adware programs that are stealing 2 in 5 of your cpu cycles.

This coordinated effort will allow you to see when you about to surf to a site that is known to the rest of the security world has "having a problem"

Great idea. I am in.
