phishing sites are using Engine Optimization now.
12/08/09 08:44 PM

Jim Stickley created a Web site purporting to belong to the Credit Union of Southern California, a real business that agreed to be part of the experiment. He then used his knowledge of how search engines rank Web sites to achieve something that shocked him: His phony site got a No. 2 ranking on Yahoo Inc.'s search engine and landed in the top slot on Microsoft Corp.'s Bing, ahead of even the credit union's real site.

Funny you should mention this, because it just so happens that Idiotechnica.com is now a proud affiliate of the Credit Union of Southern California! If you post on only one affiliation of a Southern Californian Credit Union, make it Idiotechnica.
