MAKING NUMISMATIC WEB SITES MORE POPULAR

  On Monday October 28th, Grzegorz Kryszczuk  wrote
  the following note on the CoinWebs list (for builders of
  numismatic web sites:

  "While working on my page of numismatic links I came
  across a somewhat disturbing phenomenon:  many links
  which once led to innocuous sites now lead to sites which
  peddle so called "adult" material.

  One site which was once a numismatic bibliography project
  is now something much, much different. Similar fate has
  befallen quite a few other sites/pages.

  Apparently, the purveyors of porn are no longer content
  to distribute their wares from domains they legitimately
  own, but also buy and abuse domains which have fallen
  into disuse.

  So, the gist of the warning is:  if you have a page of links
  on your site, better check them carefully on a periodic
  basis, because they may not lead to the original content
  anymore. Your visitors might be quite shocked when they
  click on a link to a page which ONCE was about coin
  cabinets."
