A question for hackers: How many times have you felt the urge to hack a website just because they displayed the "HackerSafe" logo? That seal is one of my pet peeves in the e-commerce world. Simply because "HackerSafe does not mean hacker proof." And that quote is not even mine, it's HackerSafe's :) But this post is not about its usefulness anyway, it's about how one of their clients, apeainhtepod.com (an apparel brand owned by MotherWorks, Inc.) placed in a way that would make you ask "What the hell were they thinking?"

It's likely that more than 90% of websites have their logo placed on upper left side of their web pages, including us. So, logically many visitors expect your logo to be somewhere around there. A Pea In The Pod also placed their logo there. But, they went ahead, proudly(!) placed the "HackerSafe" logo over their own. And this is publicly traded, multi-million dollar company who generates a respectable amount of its sales online. Not good.
