U.S. Dept. of Defense Confirms NCIS Espionage Investigation Of Shell
On 19 June 2010 I received a strange email claiming that in 2006, U.S. authorities launched an investigation into alleged industrial espionage by Shell Oil.
Shell was implicated by their attorneys, the law firm of Vethan and Waldrop, and Matt Waldrop, principle partner of the law firm. Shell had been attempting to gain unlawful access to technical material that had been classified by the Navy Dept., Office of Naval Research in 2001. This material was the IP of a former employee. Shell was apparently trying to ‘muscle’ their way into gaining ownership of the IP material. This material was classified under DoE/DoD nuclear weapons classification authorities. more

Newsletter September 2010
September 2010 has been a busy month. An interesting request this month was unclaimed money searches which we were successful in locating unclaimed money for various clients. Anybody in need of this service, please feel free to contact us at any time.
All we need to search for unclaimed money is a date of birth, old and current address information and a full name. We will also need proof of identity for the person we are searching for unclaimed money for.
We created a new web page for our web site that can be sent to clients who need an accurate quotation for a bug sweep (TSCM) service. Our new TSCM Quotation Information Worksheet is detailed and allows a client to input specific details about a site where an inspection is needed. Once the TSCM Quotation Information Worksheet is filled in by a client and returned to us, we will submit an accurate quotation to the client. Anybody needing the new TSCM Quotation Information Worksheet, should contact us so we can forward that on via email.
Lynch Investigations & Countermeasures Pty Ltd upgraded their TSCM equipment to compliment further assistance to corporate clients in need of electronic eavesdropping detection. We now sweep and office environment to 20 GHz with spectral analysis, including our thorough physical inspection and comprehensive risk management reporting. We have had the new equipment out on a few tasks this month and it is performing nicely.
We are also still handing surveillance work and inquiries for Family Law matters. With couples separating, surveillance remains demanding due to child custody concerns with court orders in place, allowing us to provide surveillance to ensure the conditions of those court orders are being complied with.
There are still those locating inquiries coming in with some clients needing searches completed to satisfy the court's requirements for substitute service. At times when warrants are in place and a change of name by deed poll has occurred, it is understandable why substitute service is necessary. Please get in contact with us about data searches for legal locating tasks as needed.
That rounds it up for this last month's brief overview and the first day of October 2010. We look forward to communicating with you all again at the end of this month or early next month in November 2010.

The software uses previously unknown tricks to worm its way into industrial control systems undetected, searching for a particular configuration that matches its target—at which point it wreaks havoc by reprogramming the system, closing valves and shutting down pipelines. more

4 Tips For Improving Your SEO Copywriting
When Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is mentioned, a few obvious things immediately pop into your mind, such as: Google rankings, link building, and conversion rates. One element that is often forgotten is copywriting – when building an authoritative site, you will want to optimize your copywriting content. It is very effective in getting Google’s attention, but you should also optimize for your human readers as well.
Some writers write first and then optimize later, while others optimize as they go. Here are four SEO copywriting tips that have made many client websites successful.
1.Title – Use the keyword you are targeting in the title of your content. The closer to the beginning of the title the better, but the main key here is that they appear somewhere. It is recommended that the title and the title tag are variations of each other and never the same.
2.Meta Description – The meta description is the snippet that human readers see underneath your Google result, below the title. This description can determine whether a person clicks through or not. If your page, post, or article pops up for their query, the meta description with a properly placed keywords could seal the deal for a lucrative click through. Keep meta descriptions under 165 characters so the full description is visible in the search result.
3.Keyword Frequency (not to be confused with keyword density) – is the number of times your keywords appear on the page. Keyword density is the ratio of keywords to the rest of the words on the page. Use your keywords often, but only when appropriate. One of the many skills of an SEO copywriter is knowing HOW to write for keywords, while keeping a natural flow of language. If your keyword frequency is crossing the line into spam-hood, your keyword density will be ~ 5%. Don’t mindlessly repeat keywords just to optimize. This will only achieve the opposite results.
4.Page Links – Search engines always want to know who you are “connected to,” which pages, websites, and content you are associating yourself with. If you are fraternizing with a less than reputable website, Google will know. For SEO purposes, linking to other pages matters. So be careful who you link with.
These SEO copywriting tips are generally considered current best practices. Focus on balancing these rules with your content, and you will please both the search engine spiders and the humans that read it.
