I installed "AVG internet security", opened a page in internet explorer, and AVG complains about "Exploit Blackhat SEO (type 1703)" for object name
Action sports stock footage
with no further details. (Note that I have not written this page. It seems to have been written in the distant past by several different persons.)
When I look at the html source code, I do not notice anything unusual. But then again, I do not know what I should look for or change to satisfy AVG.
I tried
Sucuri SiteCheck
with the results
Security report (No threats found):
check Blacklisted: No
check Malware: No
check Malicious javascript: No
check Malicious iFrames: No
check Drive-By Downloads: No
check Anomaly detection: No
check IE-only attacks: No
check Suspicious redirections: No
check Spam: No
The links toward the bottom of the HTML page such as clips.actionsportsstockfootage.com/sdf_clip.php link to a different server but at the same domain.

How do I solve the issue?
In the meantime, I have sent a report to AVG at their AVG Incorrect page rating report page.

AVG is likely picking up on links on the page that have historically spammy anchor text like:
Blackjack
Casinos
Poker
Roulette
Slots
Your "gambling" category resembles the type of SEO spam that is often inserted into hacked sites. Try removing that category and see if the error goes away.
If that is the problem, then you could try images rather than text for the words that are linked so that the scanner can't pick up on them.
