Microsoft Internet Explorer Blackhat DIV ID

I like checking out the source code for most websites to see if they are using the correct seo coding on their page(s).

I belong to a secret Charlotte SEO society that is located in North Carolina. I was viewing their page in firefox, and at the top of FF went to view>page style, and clicked on No Style. This function helps you view websites the way robots may view a page. Nothing beats the soure code, but this function helps to see if there’s any hidden text.

If you scroll all the way down, you will see the hidden text with a backlink that points to Microsoft’s products.

“Your are currently browsing this site with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).” (BTW Multi-billion dollar company…it is YOU’RE not YOUR)

I was hoping that this was only viewable to some readers who actually have IE6, but it looks like it was crawled/cached by Google.
(to view the cache go to google.com, and put cache:semclt.com. Go to the top right, and click on Text Only Version)

I can imagine that there are a few million websites that have this text on their websites with the backlink to Microsoft.

I’m betting a lot of blackhatters know about this, and have already exploited this.
