I got this e mail & like to know if any one knows anything about this.....

Hi Everyone

This is for whowever has not seen it today.



Google has made steps to remove sites within 48 hours if you use mouse overs



heres an example

<a href="Affiliate Link" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.whatever.com';return true">



Or scrolling text instead of the URL surfers are about to be directed to.



This should be taken as an urgent request to remove if you have it on any of your pages



If not removed your will get your site removed from google


make the changes before the 7th of april



Many Thanks

there is a 99% chance that your email was BS, who was it from?

Sounds like a load of crap to me too. Lots of people use mouseovers on text links... why the hell not? I can't imagine why google would give a damn about that. They've never made any policies in the past about anything except stuff people have done to boost their rankings that wasn't kosher.

Did it say at the bottom that if you don't pass it on to 10 people, that your leg would fall off and then you'd have bad luck for 7 years?
