SEO and information security

    I’m not sure that I am writing in the right blog, but I think that specialists in both areas have a lot to learn.

    Today I observed an interesting case in the practice of SEO in Latvia. December 6, 2009, some radical organization published on their website personal data of car owners that are decorated with various attributes of the Russian Federation. More specifically, license plate numbers, vehicle registration number and first name, last name and address of the owner. I will not discuss the legal and moral aspects of this idea, this does not apply to our topic.

    This is interesting. Of course, the media fanned a scandal around this incident. He was picked up on blogs, twitter, forums and so on. And, of course, no one forgot to put a link to the list. You don’t have to be a great SEO specialist to understand what it turned out for the site: PageRank 4 and an increase in traffic by 3 times in one day.

    And what is most unpleasant for people on the list is that by entering any of the names on Google, the first links will not be to their home pages or profile in draugiem.lv, but to this list. Now their personal data of these people is available as never before.

    It is ironic that the indignant inhabitants of Latvia, discussing how good it would be to get even with the authors, actually helped their master plan. C'est la vie.

    I wonder what would you do if you were on that list?
