Iframe Virus Attack: Menance for Businesses

Recently there have been lots of cases of malicious script injection in the websites html code. This has been a menace for lot of businesses as this type of attack can result in loss of business since the browsers like Chrome & Firefox block the websites and show warnings which drive the visitors away. The virus has been improving its techniques as the days go by.

To avoid being flagged by Google for malicious script please keep checking your website for iframes. There have been recent developments where the virus has started adding just java scripts without using the iframes in order to avoid detection. In some cases the whole structure of a web page has been damaged by these scripts.

How to check whether your website has been injected by the script?

1) Visit the website.
2) Click on the View Tab on the Main menu and select Source.
3) The whole source code for your webpage is displayed.
4) Search for “iframe”. The iframe code is usually at the start of the body tag or before the end of the body tag .
5) The script will be somewhat like this
div style="display:none" iframe src="http://offiget.ru:8080/index.php" width=732 height=186

Preventions:-
Change the FTP password for your website frequently.
If attacks are frequent on the index page, rename your default page.
Change the permissions for the files on the server.

Fastest Way to get in the top 10 rankings of Google…


The inclusion of local business, maps, videos, product search in google web search has been a big boon for online businesses. I don’t know if most of the people in the seo industry have discovered this or have been able to take advantage of this opportunity. Inclusion of your business in the google local business centre increases your chances of making it to the top 10 in local search results without spending too much time on website optimization. Though keep in mind that you cannot get in top for each and every keyword. But surely it’s the fastest way to get in the top 10 search results in Google. Just search for the keywords where Google throws up the local business results. For example keyword “website developers” which has a competition of 285,000,000 shows up the local business results in google.co.in. Get your business added in google local business, include keywords in your company name and if things go right for you, your listings will be in the top 10 search results for a keyword with huge competition. The same procedure implies for products also.

I did it for my website http://www.girishmore.com/ and my listing is on the first page for keywords seo consultant mumbai & seo specialist mumbai without working hard for the rankings.
