Did Type One Racing get hacked, or does their business model include viagra ads?
Type One Racing got hacked, or their business model includes hidden viagra ads?

Check out the highlighted crap on the left side there. You can easily see this yourself by using a scriptblocker and visiting Type One Racing without putting it on your whitelist, or just looking at the pagesource. Ignore my terminal window, I don't have a printscreen shortcut.
Seriously though, what the hell is this? Makes me hesitate to put in my CC num for their axleback...

I don't think it's the site; it comes up clean for me, even under IE with no ad-blocking applets active. You may have ad-ware/mal-ware on your machine.
edit: I see what you mean where it's in the code for their landing page. It looks like they've been hacked to provide google hits promoting the viagra websetes hidden in normal displays:
The rest of their site may not be secure if their main page has been hacked.

I conferred with an advert friend, it definitely looks like blackhat SEO. Either T1R knows about it and is getting paid to leave it up, or indeed they did get hacked.
Whats weird is it looks like the links point to non-viagra selling, otherwise legitimate sites, Mark Chesnutt - "When The Light's Go Out" (Tracie's Song) at Radio Now! and Dewan Studio are the root sites that are linked to. dewanstudio's links 404, so either they realized there was a breach in security and fixed it, or they decided they didn't want to be a part of this shady SEO circle anymore.
Or something else entirely, dunno.
I sent T1R a message via the contact us form on their site. Will check back on the situation next week.

The other sites are probably hacked and hosting viagra offers, and T1R is hacked (or getting paid) to point to them so they get google references (the more links, the greater priority in web searches).
Either way it doesn't signal a trustworthy vendor. It's a jungle out there.

Well, I can still buy their stuff from another vendor instead of directly, but yeah, I wouldn't type anything I cared about into typeoneracing.com until they fix it.

A variety of marketing methods is available to grow a business but still the digital platforms are best and they are super easy. The best thing is that, you just can use this approach to get the attention of only the audience that is interested in the kind of services/products that you provide. I am using smm and seo campaign services and getting awesome results.
