Victor's Blog about the Web, Security and Life

The web for me is a hobby where standards and best practices are daily bread. Security is a concern that everybody must be aware of its details for IT in general, and the web in particular, to be a safer place. My life, on the other hand, is that of a regular Lebanese citizen where politics and social issues are discussed on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and make sure to drop me a comment about any topic you find interesting.

As you may have noticed, my blog was subject to various attacks from spammers who where using comments to place their ads to other websites with the hope of having some better SEO results.

As a result, I had to add a visual code confirmation while posting comments to avoid forcing users to register for placing their comments. I am really sorry for this inconvenience but this is a must if I am to move on with my blog.

Also, please excuse the long time it took to get the code in there (a 1-hour work) but my late days were very busy so I barely had time to login here and add this fix.

Now we're back to normal discussion and I will be updating the blog soon with some interesting data about my latest findings in Linux hosting.

SEO Resulst

SEO means Search Engine Optimization. When dealing with SEO, a major part is links to your website. Thus, spammers try to create links to their websites from other websites.

This is, in my opinion, the main reason for these links ;)

Nice Visus!
