The country may be in the grip of an economic recession, with businesses everywhere having to tighten their belts, but that doesn’t mean you should cut back on your Internet marketing. Stopping an SEO campaign will harm your website now and in the future, so when the recession eventually ends and the economy recovers, your website won’t be in a position to capitalise. You’ll then need to start an SEO campaign and wait for the results to kick in, which could take months depending on your industry.
Also, if you don’t SEO your site now you’ll end up further behind your competitors who are SEOing their own websites.
Don’t let your website suffer during the recession, make sure it’s in a position to act once the economy picks up. There are things you can cut back on, but the success of your website isn’t one of them.

Users of Google’s Gmail service were hit by a phishing scam this week, through the Google Talk messaging service. Users of the service received a message, which appeared to have come from one of their contacts, but instead contained a link to a spam website called ViddyHo.com.
Google has acted fast and has blacklisted the ViddyHo.com website.
The scam attempt wasn’t the first issue Google experienced that week with regards to Gmail, as the whole service crashed at 9:30am on Tuesday morning, with UK users being unable to access their email.
Acacio Cruz wrote about the incident on Google’s blog:
We know that for many of you, this disrupted your working day. We’re really sorry about this, and we did do everything to restore access as soon as we could. Our priority was to get you back up and running. Our engineers are still investigating the root cause of the problem.
