Many other websites across North America have fallen victim as well. These online attacks have compromised and exposed personal data such as usernames, passwords and credit card information in some cases. You or someone you know may have fallen victim. Though LulzSec, the group behind many of the attacks, has officially disbanded that doesn't mean that the threat is over by any means.

Today we're going to look at using social media ON your site to boost SEO and keep users coming back for more.

Some days we can’t live without it and other days the fluff and noise drives us insane. Love it or hate it, it has become as important as email and the telephone for most of us.
