How Good is your Hosting Company in Protecting your Business Website?
The World Wide Web is a fun, dynamic, and exciting location to launch a new business venture or promote your business, while supporting your customer base. It is also a lawless landscape in which black hats - crackers, hackers and other on-line evil-doers ramble on with very little oversight, law enforcement or consequences for their actions.

LazrWeb maintains "hardened" servers which deter and deflect known exploits in the server software and in our client's website code. That is where the true value of top quality hosting separates LazrWeb from all the average hosting companies available on the Web.

Types of "Black Hat SEO Techniques"

• Redirects - will take visitors to another site when they try to reach yours.



• Overloading alt tags - Meta tags and other internal coding with keywords, sometimes called keyword stuffing.



• Inaccurate or misleading keywords - inserted within website code to mislead SE and produce poor SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
  
  
• Cloaking - Detects search engine spiders and changes site text to diminish SERPs.



• Pagejacking - Stealing site content, cannot only cost you in business, it can also slam your results because your content is not "original".



• Malicious cookies - one of the most popular, designed to open ports to allow other malicious ware to be installed on your webserver.

Any of these easy 'black hat SEO' tactics and more (spamglish, links farms, virus injections, etc.) can and will do severe, if not irreparable, damage to your on-line business.

Why?

Google Penalizes For Black Hat Tactics
The purpose of the search engine is to deliver relevant, useful SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) to users search terms. When a Google bot discovers what it perceives as an attempt to falsely increase this value, the site will endure serious, site-threatening sanctions, if not banned altogether.

Some of these penalties may be imposed without you even knowing about it. A site discovered to employ black hat SEO may be penalized in page ranking positioning, may lose a good SERP altogether, or experience SE indexing issues and, for the worst offenders, banishment from Google forever. Completely gone in the Google index, and the World Wide Web.
