The client was horrified to see all the links associated with their website and had no idea this was going on. With so little content on the site, I don't understand why the designer would need a cms system--and the owner had no plans to add much content.

I am thinking of contacting the other legit sites that are included to let them know what is happening.

Quite a diversion for today. thanks to all who responded.

Hello-

I have been contacted by a local firm to do some marketing for them
including perhaps some web site development. In reviewing their existing
site, I see that in the source code is the comment:

It does look like a seo tactic. If you look at some of the other sites, they
contain the same series of links in the right-frame. Cameron and Cameron show
up on page 7 when the search is "sonoma county vineyard supplies". It might
be that the other businesses would feel a little put out at the tactic and as
Stephen suggested this might be a good inroad for future business.


The httrack site indicates that the utility can also be used to upload updates
so it looks like this may be the cms used by the site designer. It actually
looks like a fairly interesting utility.
