Protect Yourself From
The Thieves on the Internet

There are thieves and pirates on the internet.  Like most thieves throughout the ages, they depend on others to produce something of value, they are unable and unwilling to do that work themselves.  Oh, they can pass on the treasures they have stolen with great largesse, but they themselves have not produced anything of value.

Modern thieves on the internet are stealing traffic that does not belong to them.  Traffic on the internet naturally travels to the sites of those who can produce something of value that surfers want to find.  Thieves lie in wait wait for the traffic to arrive at those sites producing value then pounce on it and carry the traffic away.

This is done today with high technology.  For example, you make a search on Google to help you find the web site of the life insurance company that was protecting your parents and you are assured that information is on MY page.  When you click on the link to my page at  the Search Engine a NEW page pops up just before you get here, or soon after my page fills your screen ANOTHER screen pops up under it.  It doesn't matter if that window pops up just before, or soon after mine does, BOTH of them are feasting off the fruits of my labor, stealing your attention and your time, attempting to send you where you would not otherwise go.

Another technological trick is to INSERT advertising over the words of my page after you begin reading -- or create underlined links off my words.  This is an even worse form of piracy because chances are you will believe it is me recommending these thieves the links over my words take you to!  

Does it make any difference to you 
that MY traffic is being stolen?

Well, YES, it does.  It really does.  Here's why:  The only thing worse than finding no information is to use information deliberately steering you wrong.  Here's the way it works in real life.

About 100 years ago there was a health resort that attracted people from all around the world.  Three dedicated doctors worked tirelessly to help their patients take full advantage of the treatments at the resort.   Their success generated more traffic to the little town and it grew.  People would arrive by stage, or train and ask the first people they saw, "Which doctor should I go to?"  Some honest soul would direct them to one of the three doctors that they preferred most.  They responded to the honest question with an honest opinion.

Then some imitation doctors showed up and paid someone to meet new arrivals and POINT them to the imitation doctors.  Pointing paid rather well and soon there were dozens of POINTERS sending new arrivals to "doctors" whose main interest was in collecting large fees for added "services".

This resulted in some rather bizarre treatments, like radiation therapy in a sealed cave, inner cleansings by harsh chemicals, and many other programs.  By 1945 there were over 79 un-credentialed doctors working in the health resort.  

But that isn't the worst of the matter.  By 1945 there were 14 fully credentialed doctors working in the health resort, and eleven of them were using POINTERS to get their traffic, and these genuine doctors were prescribing bizarre treatments to keep the patients they were paying for.  "We had to, or we would have starved to death," they told the judge in charge of the cases.

I ask you: Is that the way you want the web to end up?  Do you want to see it full of crooked pointers, crooked "physicians" and "bizarre" treatments?

If you would rather deal with honest opinions, I ask you to click those POINTERS shut at ThiefWare.Com!  Pay no attention to them.  Then mark the names off in your memory that they are pointing you to, and never deal with them again.  Stick with those web sites delivering honest value.  In that way you will be sponsoring a mature and responsible web, and not an internet full of pointers and crooks.

Most people will do anything they can to steer far clear of situations that may take a violent turn. But there is always the chance that violent behavior can erupt -- uninvited and unexpected. What can you do then to protect yourself from danger?
