My name is Mis Suzanne, i saw your profile today on .dfwent.com
and become interested,Please i want you to contact me through my email address( suzanneakibbo@yahoo.com ) so i can tell you about me and my pictures, please i am waiting to see your mail on this my email address (suzanneakibbo@yahoo.com).
Suzanne,
1) Your welcome!
2) No problem
3) Yes, I would delete that. There are two NOSCRIPT blocks, one near the top of the HTML (below the BODY tag), and one near the bottom (above the "Start Quantcast tag"), you want to delete both of those NOSCRIPT blocks and all of their contents. As it appears it added this junk to other pages as well, you will need to do this for each of your HTML pages that contain these SPAM blocks.
For new pages (or when editing existing ones), I would also suggest you check the settings on your CMS program, to see if there is a way to turn this "feature" OFF. If not, I would try to physically go into the source and comment-out or disable the section of code that is adding all this junk to your pages! That way, you won't have to worry about having to manually edit HTML files every time you make or change web pages! :)
4) Free time - what is that?? LOL Yes, when I come across someone on social network sites (like DFWENT) that is referencing their own web site, I will often take a quick look-see, and if I notice something particularly good/bad SEO-wise, will let them known about it. I have also been answering a lot of ppl's SEO-related questions in LinkedIn's Q&A section, and have already amassed a nice collection of "Best Answer" awards! :) But I wanted to try to help-out local businesses in the DFW Metroplex, but that is worldwide, I don't think any of those folks I helped were even located in Texas!
I was thinking about going into the local Dallas-area groups (like the LinkedIn group associated with this site), and offering a free SEO evaluation of local web sites (at least that would generate goodwill closer to home!) - What do you think of that idea?
5) When I first looked at it, the spamming problem on the home page is what drew my attention. Will take a better look at the rest of your site, and let you know!
But if you want specifics (and even chastised me for not answering your question immediately LOL), OK, here goes...
Two nonsensical paragraphs of keyword-stuffed text, placed at the top and also close to the bottom of your home page, along with two hidden 1-pixel graphics with keyword-stuffed ALT tags, all stuffed inside NOSCRIPT tags to make all this gibberish visible to search engine bots, but invisible to visitors using a normal browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox (unless they physically turn-off scripting), in order to try to "trick" the search engines into giving the site a higher ranking than it actually deserves.
Keyword-stuffing NOSCRIPT tags is actually a pretty old-school method of spamming, and because it is so easy to spot, has been replaced by most spammers with the more up-to-date method of keyword-stuffing DIV tags instead, making them invisible to modern browsers via external CSS file(s). While a bit harder to detect than the NOSCRIPT approach, I would not recommend anyone do that either, as all it takes is for one of your competitors (or their SEOs) to spot what you're doing, and your site's toast!
In any event, just wanted to give you a heads-up. Assuming your question in your previous comment to me was sincere, the above information should be sufficient to allow you to track-down and correct this problem!
