Here’s a secret of some of those high ranked sites: Write a great free PDF file- something people would spread and post on forums, blogs, rapidshare etc. Make sure your link is in it.

Et voila! When you have over 1000 sites hosting that babe of yours, you get 1000 free backlinks! This boosts your SERP and PR to the stratosphere!

Webmasters who paid for links in paid-directories just chucked money down the drain. And turned on the incinerator.

You see, starting with the 4th quarter Google pagerank update, some of the largest paid directories (think Aviva, Alive and DirectoryDump) all plummeted from pagerank 7 to pagerank nowhere. Search google, and none of these sites can be found. It’s like they never existed.

Directory webmasters protested, link buyers griped, and Google- well, google stood its ground. Google says directories violated TOS by selling links which game big G’s algorithms (to pass on pagerank). It’s a mortal sin and one must pay dearly for violating Holy Webmaster Guidelines. Nothing can be worse than being sandboxed in Google’s anonymity hell!

I for one agree. For too long, I’ve seen Linux sites sponsoring gambling, porn and viagra businesses. Or SEO sites promoting snoring tablets. Wha???? What’s the connection?

These paid-links and sponsored advertising for unrelated (and crappy) services pollute the web with scum that waste our bandwiths.

Good going google!

I just came across GlobalWholesaling and couldn’t believe my eyes. LV goes for $200. Prada for $80. Could these be original??

Smelling a fish behind the too-good-to-be-true offers, I fired up Google before swiping the Visa.

Whew. Saved by the big G. Turns out this site is owned by one guy who runs a network selling knockoff products straight out of China (hmmm.. these bags might explode or expel noxious fumes).

If GlobalWholesaling wants to sell, let it advertise with a conscience. Let the buyers know they are obtaining replicas. The business then generates trust even though its products aren’t particularly laudable.

I’m secruity conscious and so should you. If you run interactive systems based on php, ASP or any programming language that calls on SQL databases, you are vulnerable to unauthorized penetration. It doesn’t matter that you paid $10,000 for shiny new code. Let some 13 year old hacker probe your site and chances are, he’d find weaknesses…. leading all the way to stored financial information… and pix of your latest trysts.

One way to minimize security breaches is to hire ethical hackers to check for cracks before nasties do. HackersForHire offer a reasonable service at prices that won’t deflate your bank the way nefarious scriptkiddes would. For $150, you’ll discover leaks that you can plug.

Buy yourself some peace of mind and have the good guys hack your site for a change.

My grandfather recently purchased a queer machine from Japan. It’s called the Pyroenergen and it surrounds the body with an electrostatic field. This field allegedly deactivates the protein coats of viruses, thereby deactivating them. For those averse to shocks: do no fear using it. You won’t feel a thing. The electrostatics envelope the user, but does not penetrate flesh.

Full of skepticism, I used the device for about an hour to see if the darn thing would knock my cold out. Hmm. Okay. I felt nothing. But pieces of paper did jump at my hand long after I used it. That was interesting. My cold didn’t disappear throughout the use though… but it totally disappeared 4 hours after. Now that was odd because a typical flu lasts 4 days in me.

Maybe it was a fluke. Perhaps I shall find someway to get a viral contamination again and test this doozer out more thoroughly. It’s exciting if the effects can be replicated- all those Pharmas will go out of business!

Some product-oriented sites thrive on a forum or two. They sell something controversial- like pheromones or popular dating CDs and rely on viral word of mouth from members who join their public forum.

Forums are great ways to generate sales. That much I’ve discovered on one of my sites which sells diet supplements. A customer likes the product, writes about it and pretty soon, other forummers pick up on the enthusiasm. They end up buying.

Now what if your forum is new and has no members. Or what if its large but already stagnated? There’s a good solution. Check out PaidPostingReviews. It’s a site that reviews forum posting services. Essentially, a posting service contracts the employ of web surfers like you and I to post on assigned forums- thereby spiking activities and inspiring new sign ups. Ultimately you get sales.

I tried one of the recommended services and was delighted to see 5 or 6 new posts a day on my stagnated forum. Well worth the money!

My only reservation is that paidpostingreviews.com is run by one of the sites allegedly ‘reviewed’ on his list.

I’m exploding with excitement! Paypal’s offering a new protective layer to keep grubby fingers away from your cookie jar. Introducing the Security Key Fob. It’s a new hardware solution to paypal phishing problems.

The mechanism is foolproof. Paypal security key generates a random key every 30 seconds ,you will have to type in with your login in order to prevent fraud. So in addition to your username and password, you key in a third bit of info that only your key provides. No one can get that from you- unless at gunpoint!

How it works:

1. Order and activate your PayPal Security Key.
2. Log in to your account.
3. When prompted, enter the code on your Security Key.

Security key is availabe for a one-time non-refundable fee of $5.00 USD. After that, there’s no monthly fee or recurring charge.

Find your demo here; after which you can order security key from here.

Fancy attracting the eye of that lass across the room? Then dab some of this magic potion on your neck and magic explodes! She’ll swoon and ask you out!

… or so the ad claims.

Androtics Direct manufactures some interesting vials of pheromone cologne that allegedly stimulates attraction between the genders. It works by acting on the VNO organ in the nose, a remnant of our apish past.

So does it work? Continue Reading »
