Santy worm now targets Yahoo and AOL
01:18 2004-12-29
Days after Google Inc. took action to thwart the new Santy worm, security companies warned that variants have begun to spread using Google and other search engines.
The Santy worm surfaced a week ago as bulletin board Web sites found their pages erased and defaced by the worm's text. The worm, which spread by targeting pages that used vulnerable versions of PHP Bulletin Board software, used Google to locate those pages, says San Francisco Chronicle.
According to the Washington Times, a new Internet worm dubbed the Santy worm targets U.S. search engine Google and other search engines, p2pnet.net reported Tuesday.

WebPosition Finds Amazon Tops the Search Engines among Major Retailers for this Year's Hottest Holiday Toys
WebPosition Finds Amazon Tops the Search Engines among Major Retailers for this Year's Hottest Holiday Toys
Study Finds Amazon, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart Rely on Sponsored Search More than Organic Search
December 2004 (Newstream) -- WebTrends, the web analytics market share leader and a business unit of NetIQ Corporation (NASDAQ: NTIQ), on December the 14th unveiled results from its first WebPosition® Search Ranking study of how four major retailers that sell five of this year's hottest holiday toys are using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) strategies to attract online visitors. Top-level findings, revealed at the Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo, indicate that Amazon's visibility in both organic results and sponsored search results were the highest, with an organic Visibility Percentage more than twice that of the other retailers.
Wal-Mart, Target, Sears and Amazon were analyzed using WebPosition® Gold to determine the visibility these web sites have in organic and paid search results on Google, MSN, Ask Jeeves, Teoma and Yahoo! Web Results for five toys included in USA Today's 'Hot Dozen' toys: "Cabbage Patch Kids", "Bratz Tokyo-A-Go-Go Dance N' Skate Club", "E-L-M-O", "Balloon Lagoon" and "Ms. Pac-Man TV Games" (Source: Toy Wishes magazine, October 2004).
Results indicate that as a group the retailers are more than twice as visible in sponsored search results (73.87%) as they are in organic search results (35.87%). Amazon was found to be the most visible among all sites in organic search engine listings for the targeted keywords with an organic Visibility Percentage of 34.67%, followed by Wal-Mart at 14%, Target at 7.33% and Sears at 3.87%. Visibility Percentage is a reflection of a site's positions within the first three pages of search results for its targeted keywords and search engines. For example, a site that has #1 organic search positions for all of its targeted keywords in all search engines examined would have an organic Visibility Percentage of 100%.
When WebPosition analysis included sponsored search listings, visibility increased across all retailers with Amazon rising to 52%, followed by Wal-Mart at 39.73%, Sears at 16% and Target at 13.6%. The data suggests that retailers are using sponsored search listings to achieve high positions for these products, often in the absence of high organic search positions.
"It's well known that unless your site appears within the first three pages of search results for a given term, only a small percentage of web searchers will find you," said Fredrick Marckini, CEO and founder, www.iprospect.com firm, iProspect. "While organic listings are certainly the goal for many companies, sponsored search listings guarantee visibility with a position equivalent to what they are willing to pay. This is why it's critical for marketers to understand the ROI driven by specific paid and organic search terms, and to work to increase their organic positions over time."
According to The iProspect Search Engine User Attitudes Survey, web searchers find non-paid listings to be more relevant than paid listings on commercial searches, with 60.5 % deeming organic results as more relevant versus 39.5% favoring paid listings across all search engines (March 2004).
"While this study is a snapshot of SEO and SEM performance for a handful of products, the finding of major retailers relying on paid search to augment their organic search listings holds true with what other studies have found," said Jason Palmer, vice president of product management and product marketing, WebTrends. "Since competition for paid keywords will only increase, it's critical for sites to utilize rankings and recommendations such as those provided by WebPosition to increase their organic visibility."
WebPosition has published the Top 5 Tips for Successful Search Engine Marketing in a recent edition of its MarketPosition newsletter at www.marketposition.com/mp-1004.htm.
Methodology
This is merely a sampling of how these leading retailers are using SEO and SEM techniques for a small group of products. The analysis focused solely on five toys using only the official product names as keywords. WebPosition Gold produced search rankings for the five hot toys for each of the retailers examined using the manual query setting in its Reporter module. Visibility Percentage reflects a site's overall visibility for all the keywords and all search engines examined, providing a higher-level understanding of search effectiveness than search rankings alone can provide. A data snapshot was taken on December 9, 2004, to compile these findings.

Forbes.com: Does Geico Own 'Geico' Or Does Google?
Forbes.com: Does Geico Own 'Geico' Or Does Google?
Does Geico Own 'Geico' Or Does Google?
Dan Ackman, 12.13.04, 10:18 AM ET
NEW YORK - Geico doesn't mind you Googling Geico, but when you do, it wants Google to tell you about Geico, not Allstate or AIG.
More From Dan Ackman
This is the crux of a lawsuit going to trial today in Virginia pitting the car insurer, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway (nyse: BRKa - news - people ), against the search engine that says it wants to organize the world's information, information on car insurance included.
Geico sued Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) in May claiming trademark infringement. The insurer says Google links ads from Geico's rivals to searches for "Geico" itself. This sending of Geico hunters to destinations apart from Geico hurts Geico, Geico says. But Google says what it does is perfectly legal, a form of "fair use" that does not violate Geico's intellectual property. It says that Geico may own Geico, but the word "Geico" is up for grabs.
This form of fair use is big business for Google. It makes the bulk of its revenue, which was $806 million in the third quarter, from selling ads that are targeted to search results. Thus, a search for "Geico" leads to Geico on the left side of the screen, but on the right side, there are "sponsored links" to AIGauto.com, onlinemarts.com and cheapercarinsurance.com. Google went public in August, raising $1.67 billion and its stock has soared since then.
The suit raises novel legal claims. But in heading for trial, Geico has already won a partial victory as Judge Leonie Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia this August refused to throw it out on legal grounds. The suit was originally against Overture as well. But Overture settled earlier this month, leaving the more alliterative battle, Geico v. Google, the only case on trial.
Intellectual property law experts are skeptical about Geico's chances. "The case law in this area is very primitive and unformed," says Susan Crawford, who teaches cyberspace law at Cardozo Law School. But Google, she adds, has "very strong arguments" as there is simply no confusion created that would undermine Geico's mark.

Search Engine Optimization Process and SEO Strategy
Search Engine Optimization Process and SEO Strategy
Keyword Strategy
Choose keywords to place in the Meta tags and text of each page on the site. Avoid tactics that will hurt your site’s ranking.
Keyword Research
Determine which keyword phrases will be more effective by looking at past search phrase volume and results.
Site Structure
Organize your web site to be friendly to search engines.
Link Popularity
Obtain links from high value pages on relevant sites, thus ensuring that you are highly ranked. Request links from other sites and reciprocate if they require that.
Relevant Content
Search engines improve ranking of web sites that offer relevant information. Ensure that your site has appropriate and interesting content. Additional content may be required for various pages and new pages may have to be added. Try not to say too much on each page. Cut large pages into multiple pages focusing on more specific topics and one or two keyword phrases per page of related text.
Meta Tags (Title, Description & Keyword):
Meta tags are HTML-code that some search engines use in their ranking process and some are used in the actual display of your site in the search engine.
Content Editing
Edit your content to include a variety of keywords and key phrases on each page.
Submission
Submission of pages to a variety of search engines can be done on a free basis or by pay per inclusion but the best way to get your site included is to obtain links to your pages from high value pages on other sites (see link building.)
Maintenance
Search rankings change constantly and the formulas used to create the search rankings also change on a regular basis. Regular monitoring and maintaneance is needed to ensure that your rankings continue to improve and do not degrade
