Beware Hosting Providers Inserting Links Into Your Content


Rogue host changing customers’ websites
over at SEO Forum is an interesting
read and warning to those to watch their hosting service. What’s PhilC describes

stopped but started again.

Moral for anyone? Look at the cached pages you have in the major search
engines. They’ll show you what the search engine spider saw — and any links
that you might not realized were cloaked without permission to feed to the
spiders.
