McAfee SiteAdvisor deems Cyber X Designs web site safe!
January 4th, 2007 by Hans Kaspersetz in New Jersey
I am happy to announce that McAfee SiteAdvisor has deemed our website safe for users! I was Googling “cyberxdesigns” tonight because I am completely vain and I want to see who lives in my neighborhood and I found, to my delight, the SiteAdvisor link as the 5th primary result. How excellent! At first I was concerned, however after clicking the link I found, to my relief, that not only is my site safe, it seems sites affiliated with CXD like, w3c.org, nyphp.org, beringair.com and imaginativelearningtools.com are too.
So for all you out there who are looking for web design, web hosting, PHP development or general moral support, give us a call, McAfee says we are safe. So stop by, we are located in Denville, NJ. Our site will not harm you, it will just entertain you and hopefully entice you to call us and use our services. End of the hard sell.
So what is the value of this service? Who is using it? How much value am I providing McAfee? How much are they making off my hard work? When you visit the site, McAfee hints that the owner of the site should respond to their rating, after registering, and then verifying who you are. Seems like a good way to crowd the SERPS with a little bit of junk and collect my, or some unsuspecting web master’s, contact information. It is interesting that by collecting the contact information and using their affiliation mapping, they can start to build up a social network map. Hmmm…. I can only imagine the marketing value. They can easily determine just how involved in technology their list of web masters is by monitoring their affiliations. Maybe do some further web marketing to them. Kudos McAfee.
Do you use this service? I wonder if their content filtering software uses the results. Does your site or your affiliates sites have poor ratings? If so, did you respond? I would love to hear from you.
In the spirit of full disclosure, McAfee didn’t get it totally wrong with the affiliates. New York PHP is a user group in NY that I am a member of and link to extensively and the other three sites are our happy customers.
