What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves making Web pages more search engine friendly to give them a better ranking in search engines.
If you succeed in optimizing your pages in the right way, you will be awarded with top rankings, which can result in thousands of monthly visitors to your site.
Why is Search Engine Optimization important?
Search Engine Optimization is important because over 80% of Internet users reach Websites through search engines. If your Website is not ranked at the top of the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, HotBot, and Lycos, you will be losing a lot of traffic.
Search Engine Optimisation is basically about following search engine rules. If your Web page fits the criterias that a search engine considers the most important factors in terms of relevance, then it will reward your site with a top ranking. This gives the Web pages a better chance of being selected by the search engines as the most relevant page for the search query.

Trojan Horses are programs that are disguised as useful software and are put for download on the Internet, and users download and run them only to realise their mistake later. The main difference between a Trojan Horse and a virus is that Trojans don’t spread themselves.
A Trojan Horse is divided into two parts- a server and a client. The server is cunningly disguised as important software by giving it an icon or double extension such as ‘filename.jpg.exe’. The icon can be of a program that is commonly used such as flash, winzip, winrar or photoshop. The server is placed in P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing networks such as Kazaa or eDonkey 2000, or unofficial download sites. Once the server runs on your system the attacker can gain control over your system allowing the person to perform actions such as deleting,uploading and downloading.

What is Spam?
Spam is the commonly used term for unsolicited commercial e-mail send in bulk. The most common form of spam is e-mail spam. The main difference between spam and solicited mail, or newsletter, is that you never signed up to receive it anywhere. Other forms of spam are instant messaging (IM) spam, search engine spam, blog spam and mobile phone messaging spam.
What does spam do?
Spam fills your inbox with useless e-mails preventing you from receiving important mails. A large percentage of spam contains ads for pornographic Web sites or other such places that can be unacceptable viewing for many, especially children.
Opening a spam mail could immediately infect your pc with spyware or a worm without your knowledge. Another problem these days are spambots, which are a major producer of e-mail spam. Some spammers create various e-mail viruses that transforms an unprotected PC into a spambot that will inform the spammer of its existence, and the spammer will command it to send a low volume of spam. This allows spammers to send high volumes of spam without being caught by their ISPs or being tracked down by anti-spammers as the low volume makes it hard to detect.

I have mentioned here a few mistakes that are commonly made by web designers:
When a search bot visits a site with frames it indexes only the main frame ignoring all the other frames, leading to sites with frames dropping rapidly in search engine rankings. This is one of the reasons why frames are no longer popular.
Another reason is that bookmarking a site with frames is not easy.

Microsoft Corp. plans to launch its system for selling advertising alongside regular search results by June in the United States, giving the company its next piece of ammunition in the battle with rivals including Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc.
Microsoft has been testing its ambitious new platform for selling all kinds of online advertising, called adCenter, since last spring. Right now, the company said about 25 percent of the sponsored links that accompany regular search results on its MSN Search site are from adCenter, but that will grow to 100 percent by the time the company’s fiscal year ends in June.
