The document (http://www.webseed.com/codeofethics.htm) was accompanied by a letter from WebSeed.com president Mike Adams, who urged search engine ranking improvement services to adhere to a set of practices that, among other things, disallows the use of non-relevant keywords and limits the number of pages from any single domain that may be submitted to the search engines.

A research project studied social workers' knowledge of and views about the National Association of Social Worker's Code of Ethics and how well they are implementing its mandates on issues of social injustice. The findings indicate that most social workers are familiar with the content of the Code and believe it should require action on social injustice issues; ... the majority of social workers reported that they were not implementing these sections of the Code in their practice. Action taken tended to be on issues that were focused on clients rather than social change, but many of the social workers who had acted on issues of social injustice believed they were successful. To reduce the gap between values and practice, social workers must work together to implement the social injustice mandates of the NASW Code of Ethics. There are, however, serious limitations to reforming the profession without seeking broader social changes in society.
