For a spammer, acquiring links from a high-traffic site can artificially give their sites more worth and manipulate search results in their favor.<br /><br />An example we often see is hackers using an exploit in a sites database (SQL Injection) or in sites that have unchecked areas for user input (XSS). A way to look for this is to run the site: query mentioned above (site:.edu free ringtones) and take look at the URLs of the sites that show up. If you see some trailing parameter like [/?p=<b>ringtones</b>], then your site is most likely hacked.

He encouraged audience members to rethink work that doesn't provide any strategic business differentiation for companies – email administration, software upgrade management, things like that. Instead, he emphasized that <span class="misspell" suggestions="It's,Ito's,Ti's,Its,Ir's">IT's</span> unique opportunity to help their companies fuel innovation and gain productivity by "investing in the core business to amplify differentiation."

Home Care Assistance has not only consolidated its knowledge into this secure intranet but also provided the means for its field offices to share best practices with eachother – blogging about how best to optimize an AdWords budget, for example. This type of collaboration would be resource-intensive, or maybe even impossible, with a static-intranet model where IT would push information out to end users. Home Care Assistance hasaccelerated productivity with this approach and has also fostered wider collaboration amongst its field offices. Using Google Apps, Home Care Assistance has grown 15-fold in less than four years, and has recently expanded into Canada (giving the firm even more ways to integrate Google products!).<br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center;" id="v6ip"><span style="font-size:100%;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/File?id=dfzmrc7w_0nz6sptcw_b" style="width: 501px; height: 310px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;" id="v6ip"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span class="misspell" suggestions="CA,HA,RCA">HCA</span> makes it easy for people to find office locations<br />by listing them in a Google Docs spreadsheet and inserting a<br />Google Maps Gadget into a Google Site. </b></span></div></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In another session, we asked people to go hands-on to demonstrate the easy productivity available with Google Apps.

The well-known author of Crossing the Chasm discussed how the internet has changed the way we can do business. He encouraged audience members to rethink work that doesn't provide any strategic business differentiation for companies – email administration, software upgrade management, things like that. Instead, he emphasized that <span class="misspell" suggestions="It's,Ito's,Ti's,Its,Ir's">IT's</span> unique opportunity to help their companies fuel innovation and gain productivity by "investing in the core business to amplify differentiation." According to Moore, this differentiation, and the innovation it enables, is a key lever for doing well during a downtown.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In one of our breakout sessions, we shared one example of how a business might invest in its core by showing resource site built by <a id="zh6s" href="http://homecareassistance.com/" target="_blank" title="Home Care Assistance">Home Care Assistance</a> (<span class="misspell" suggestions="CA,HA,RCA">HCA</span>), an internationally-franchised provider of in-home caregivers.

Home Care Assistance has not only consolidated its knowledge into this secure intranet but also provided the means for its field offices to share best practices with eachother – blogging about how best to optimize an AdWords budget, for example. This type of collaboration would be resource-intensive, or maybe even impossible, with a static-intranet model where IT would push information out to end users. Home Care Assistance hasaccelerated productivity with this approach and has also fostered wider collaboration amongst its field offices. Using Google Apps, Home Care Assistance has grown 15-fold in less than four years, and has recently expanded into Canada (giving the firm even more ways to integrate Google products!).<br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center;" id="v6ip"><span style="font-size:100%;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/File?id=dfzmrc7w_0nz6sptcw_b" style="width: 501px; height: 310px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;" id="v6ip"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span class="misspell" suggestions="CA,HA,RCA">HCA</span> makes it easy for people to find office locations<br />by listing them in a Google Docs spreadsheet and inserting a<br />Google Maps Gadget into a Google Site. </b></span></div></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In another session, we asked people to go hands-on to demonstrate the easy productivity available with Google Apps.
