Did you know:

A occurs in correlation with B
-> Therefore, A causes B (or B causes A).

Example: The number of people watching this page is growing everyday; the number of old people in some parts of the World is growing everyday too.
Therefore the number of people watching this page are mostllikely old people.
:-)

This example is easy (even if I'm not sure myself) but in too many cases this logical fallacy might be not be suspected.

Where do I want to come is to remember myself this often used sentence:

"Correlation does not imply causality!"

Following are some examples correlation and causality logical fallacy:

"Passive smoking dents children's IQ."
"People who sleep 6 hours a night live longer then eight or more."
"People who are married are happier than people who are not."
"People who own red cars are twice as likely to have an accident as people who own blue cars."
"Men who have beards are happier than men who do not."

Even:

"Smoking causes lung cancer" might be a correlation/causality logical fallacy.

So, after visiting this website if your life starts to become better, it might be not because of your visit.
