Using Google to find "unsecurity cameras"

Recently I read a report that thousands of security cameras around the world could be accessed by typing a simple command into Google.Being of a curious nature I decided to have a look and see what all the fuss was about.

It would be fair to say that I was dumbstruck by the results.Thousands if not tens of thousands of links to cameras in all kinds of locations will be displayed as search results.These cameras can be literally anywhere from traffic cameras to indoor and outdoor security cameras in workplaces,shopping malls,public buildings etc.and are there for all the world to see.

Being able to access these cameras would seem to be an enormous oversight on the behalf of the people who install and program them and I wonder how many people who are at work now know that the cameras in their workplace can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.

Well I suppose after reading this post you want to have a look for yourself so to access this network of cameras simply type the line below into Google.

Have a great day,Lou Smorals.

Getting Google to find your blog.

You will notice that there has been quite a while since my last post on this blog and that has been because I have been going through the process of making this blog show up in Google searches.As this is my first attempt at blogging getting my blog recognised by Google was a bit of a steep learning curve but I have suceeded in the end and below you will find details of how I did it.

The first thing I did was to follow the instructions in my blog dashboard to get it Google verified,then to be on the safe side I also submitted my blog url athttp://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl.

After doing this I read the section in my blog dashboard about creating a sitemap for Google to find.I must admit to being a little dazed and confused by what I read so I searched for more information.I was lucky enough to find a guide at http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/04/adding-google-sitemap-to-your-blog.html and after following the very clear and understand instructions I got my sitemap sorted and submitted.A big thanks to Peter for this guide as it really made things a lot easier for me.

After you have done all of the above all that you can really do is sit back and wait.It will take time for Google to get round to finding your blog and in my caes it took a few weeks so don't panic and be patient because it will find you eventually.

I hope this post will be of some use to someone and that you all have a great day,Lou Smorals.
