Ten Commandments of Google

(RebeccaSharpe) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:14:50 UT

Just had this sent to me:

1. Thou shalt have no other Search Engine before me, neither Yahoo
nor Lycos, AltaVista nor Metacrawler. Thou shalt worship only me, and

and just a screenshot to show a high ranking I have.

Virus when Googling

I have a table tennis website [link] that I

Some friends have recently warned me that they get a virus alert
whenever they Google the site (Google "lane table tennis" for
example). I try it and get the same virus alert!

I'm developing a new site, and want to understand the roles played by
the different systems that will be used, how they inter operate, and

SMTP

The title should show what it's about.

I've got a couple of sites that have contact pages. The VB behind has
the mailserver on one site as 'smtp.example.com', on another it's
strangely 'mail.example.com' (but it still works). I'm working on
another site, and I've been told by the client and the hoster that I

I'm off to Detroit for a while, not sure how much net connectivity
I'll have there. I hear it's mostly a ghost town ;) though my sister
