Malicious software was created to install, take control, and execute harmful actions on a computer without the users’ knowledge or permission. This type of software can range from viruses, corrupted web browser controls, malicious scripts, to Trojan horses.
It is common for innocent web sites to be hacked by malicious attackers. Some search engine crawlers can detect malware (also known as spyware). Often when they detect it, they will notify the webmaster by sending a warning message.
A computer virus is commonly used to indicate other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. It can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the target computer. The virus is then contracted in some form of executable code.

Stay Away From 'Bad Neighbors'
Similar to the real world, search engines will judge you for the company that you keep. The “neighborhood” in which your web site resides can affect your search engine rankings either positively or negatively. Webmasters should be careful when linking a specific web site to other sites.
An online “neighborhood” is defined as an intricate system of links. The links are similar to the roads, streets, highways, and pathways that we all have traveled on. And just as living next to a run-down house or having noisy neighbors would reflect badly on your own real estate values, online connections to bad neighbors has much the same effect on search engine rankings.
A bad web neighborhood is any site that practices unethical tactics to try to increase its site’s rankings or mislead its visitors.
In regards to search engine optimization, Google has advised web sites to “avoid links to web spammers or ‘bad neighborhoods’ on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.”
Unethical practices used by bad neighbors are listed below:
Link farms
Cloaking
Spamming
Installing viruses or spyware
Doorway pages
Hidden text and links
Copyright violators
Keyword stuffing
Machine generated pages
Breaking similar guidelines
Linking to a web site that does at least one of the above practices will find you guilty, at least in part by association. To avoid linking with a ‘bad neighbor’, conduct a search engine check to see how the search engines regard the property.

Don’t Lose Count
Keeping a record of how well your web site performs is the best way to make improvements from time to time. Tracking the number of visitors you receive is probably one of the most important pieces of information that you will need to have. There are many ways to count online visitors.
A visit is described as a collection of hits or page views that a person has requested from a web site. So, you are counting the number of people who have stopped by your page over a certain period of time. The period of time varies from site to site. A webmaster may choose to break visits up by minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.
Below is a list of question that can help a web site save the correct data when evaluating visitors:
What was the average number of page views per visitor?
What domain classes and geographic areas are represented?
What was the average number of hits per visitor?
What was the total number of visitors for this time period?
What was the length of the average visit?
What was the average duration of a page view?
Once these questions have been answered, it is then time to break down who is visiting your web site and why. Doing so will help you better promote your web site and make it a better place to visit.
Length of the average visit: Indicator of if people are actually reading pages on a site or simply browsing.
Average number of views per visitor: The more pages people view, the more interested they are in your site.
Busiest hours of the day: The time of the day when most people visit a site. This can help you plan daily updates, promotion campaigns, and advertising.
Duration of page view: Another indicator of is people are browsing or in fact reading the content. Ask yourself, “are my pages highly textual, highly graphical, or both?”
