Is Your Business About To Become Phished Out Of Existence?

You may not yet know this… but you stand to lose your online income in an instant, even if it’s only for a few days. Yes, the Internet marketing world could become extremely ugly for honest business owners.

The Big Brother’s of the online world are out to ‘protect us’. I don’t claim to have discovered this… there’s talk on some of the forums already. I just want all online marketers to hear what is possibly about to hit them. 75% of your site visitors are about to begin using a browser that decides whether any page on your site is suspected of being a phishing site. It’s already happening to legitimate, honest online business owners with the Beta version.

Sites that are identical in all respects as far as operating code goes, one gets penalized and one doesn’t. This is all because of the Beta version of Microsoft IE 7. The real chaos will hit when IE 7 goes full release. Just imagine when your customer goes to purchase and sees a yellow button appear on their browser that says âSuspicious Website.â Yes, your site can now be found guilty by a piece of software, even though you are totally innocent. And it’s not just Big Brother Microsoft offending.

Dear Big Brother Google’s new Toolbar and the new Firefox Toolbar have similar capabilities. And guess what? âMcAfee SiteAdvisor is also doing something similar, marking people’s sites with big red X’s if someone makes a claim that you are an e-mail spammer.â No-one wants phishing sites. They are illegal, nasty places for innocent customers to blunder into, but surely there’s a better way of helping those most likely to be robbed this way.
