SEO black hats are now going after the Apple iPad

The Apple iPad is not for sale yet, but the amount of people talking about the iPad increases as its release date comes closer. As predicted, many SEO black hats are building scams around the keyword (Ipad).

Pretty much all the black hat campaigns are going after the keywords “Apple Tablet” or “Apple iPad rumor”. They are using these keywords to reel in users to download fake security software. According to a few of the victims of these scams; the links redirect browsers to malicious websites.

These black hat websites can be found among the top 10 search results for Google.
