Tell It to the Judge: SEC Complaints and Settlements 2015
From Citybiz List Baltimore

The Securities and Exchange Commission made the front page in 2015 with its record financial penalty of more than $92.8 million against Galleon's billionaire fund manager Raj Rajaratnam for insider trading. In a related case, the SEC charged former McKinsey & Co. global head Rajat K. Gupta with sharing insider stock tips with Rajaratnam. The Madoff saga continued to play out in 2015 as the SEC drew a bead on Bernie's satellites. The agency charged longtime Madoff aide Enrica Cotellessa-Pitz with falsifying books and records, while David Kugel allegedly created fake trades to support the Ponzi Scheme. The SEC also cracked down on six executives from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for fraud relating to high-risk mortgage loans, including subprime loans.

In a Maryland court, the SEC closed out its $700M fraud suit with former U.S. Foodservice executive Mark Kaiser. In the banking sector, the SEC alleged that Pennsylvania resident Frank L. Pavlico III and Washington D.C. attorney Brynee K. Baylor operated a prime bank scheme to defraud investors out of more than $2 million. Bethesda's Garfield M. Taylor incurred the agency's wrath for a multimillion dollar Ponzi scheme targeting investors in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The SEC froze the assets of Boston-area money manager Andrey C. Hicks for misleading investors in a supposed quantitative hedge fund, while Massachusetts resident Geoffrey J. Eiten got caught stretching the truth about penny stocks. Finally, Philly businessman Tyrone L. Gilliams was charged with misappropriating approximately $5 million from investors through an offering scheme involving U.S. Treasury STRIPS.

What is SEO ?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

Relationship with search engines

By 1997, search engine designers recognized that webmasters were making efforts to rank well in their search engines, and that some webmasters were even manipulating their rankings in search results by stuffing pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords. Early search engines, such as Altavista and Infoseek, adjusted their algorithms in an effort to prevent webmasters from manipulating rankings.^[26]

In 2005, an annual conference, AIRWeb, Adversarial Information Retrieval on the Web was created to bring together practitioners and researchers concerned with search engine optimisation and related topics.^[27]

Companies that employ overly aggressive techniques can get their client websites banned from the search results. In 2005, the Wall Street Journal reported on a company,Traffic Power, which allegedly used high-risk techniques and failed to disclose those risks to its clients.^[28] Wired magazine reported that the same company sued blogger and SEO Aaron Wall for writing about the ban.^[29] Google's Matt Cutts later confirmed that Google did in fact ban Traffic Power and some of its clients.^[30]

Some search engines have also reached out to the SEO industry, and are frequent sponsors and guests at SEO conferences, chats, and seminars. Major search engines provide information and guidelines to help with site optimization.^[31][32] Google has a Sitemaps program to help webmasters learn if Google is having any problems indexing their website and also provides data on Google traffic to the website.^[33] Bing Webmaster Tools provides a way for webmasters to submit a sitemap and web feeds, allows users to determine the crawl rate, and track the web pages index status.

What is SEO

SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” search results on search engines.

All major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo have primary search results, where web pages and other content such as videos or local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. Payment isn’t involved, as it is with paid search ads.
