Speaking of ratings, I designed and maintain a site for a client whos site suddenly appeared #1 and 2 in the google ratings. He was pleased with the ranking but amazed that the word "******" appeared in the subtext below his url in google. So was I! because ****** is not a product they sell. It took me a while to find out what was going on. Turns out someone hacked his site and under the </html> tag at the bottom (where I didn't think to look at first) the hacker used javascript to add 1,800 ****** links from all over the world. They actually added those links to every page. Uploading clean pages wouldn't do it because of where they put the links. I had to clean it up on the site. Now I change his password every month and I make them complicated. Google metacrawler (or what every they call their software that gathers data) has still not updated the site and removed the ****** links- I wrote them but no response so far.
