WordPress Security Plug-Ins

October 21, 2009 5:25 pm | Leave a Comment |

Word-Press has become one of the largest platforms in the world for posting content and terrific information by so many heart felt bloggers and affiliates. However we have seen a major surge in word press shenanigans that have started to dig deeper than just the hackers having fun and having their laughs with getting into our sites.

It has become much worse that just noodling around in our pages. We are now at risk of the hackers stealing our entire sites content and even our affiliate links and codes that we work so hard to keep safe.

I have recently grabbed a cool plug-in that helps in the combat. There are many plug-ins now that you can use but this is one that hit home with me personally.

It’s called the “Admin Post Reminder” Plug-in.

The reason this one called out to me is because less than a month ago, I was logging out of my admin area after posting a new blog. I noticed that the browser bar flashed at me and it looked suspicious. I copied the link that was in the browser and opened it in a new tab.

WTF? My entire site, mirrored to some site with a domain similar to mine but in Russian I think. The content, the pictures that layout, platform I mean EVERYTHING! Stolen and there is nothing I could do about it.

Now, some may take that as a compliment to have some one want to mirror what you do. NOT WHEN YOUR LINKS ARE ON IT!!! I hide my codes but in the past I did get a bit lazy with a couple of them.

GUESS WHO HAS THEM NOW?

So yeah, now I do have the fear factor running through my brain and wondering how much income I have lost in the past 30 days. Never Again will I be such a dope. This is my business and I let my links slip into the hands of thieves. What really pisses my off is I preach this stuff all the time.

I have been in my Warrior Forums, My Stompernet Forums and Google’d the hell out of link cloaking software. It kept pointing to this Bad Boy, so I bought it.

Secure Your Sites and Hide Your Links!!

While there are several ways to do this, I have given in to software so I can get the job done faster on my Word Press platform Affiliate Review pages.

Setting it up tonight. I am just a bit disappointed in myself for being lazy and not watching all of my links.

Alright,

Hide your links, get your sites plugged in with Security plug-ins and keep going!

Love and Peace To All,

Internet Marketing And The Role Of Email Marketing

October 21, 2009 9:01 am | Leave a Comment |

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?

For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.

At its core, internet marketing is about these things:

* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.

My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.

My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers – as we do – and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.

However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.

Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.

Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.

Make Money With Amazon

October 21, 2009 9:01 am | Leave a Comment |

The vast majority of people know the Amazon website. They are definitely one of the best known online webstores on the planet. They may even be one of the most famous retailers full stop. But what comes to mind when you think about Amazon? Books, CDs, DVDs, consumer electronics and gadgets. I suppose these days the Amazon Kindle reader might be the first thing a lot of people associate with Amazon.

In fact Amazon offer an incredible range of items at their online retail outlet. You can buy all sorts of things for your home, hoovers, pots and pans, bed linen, tools, toys and games. You can download music and video without having to wait for a CD or DVD in the post. You can even do your grocery shopping on Amazon.

Which is all very interesting of course – but what are the implications for you? If you’re interested in making money as an affiliate then the enormous range on offer at the Amazon store offers a tremendous opportunity for you. There will surely be something to interest to your potential customers – all you need to do is get them to go to the Amazon website by way of one of your affiliate links and let Amazon do the all the sales work for you.

Amazon, of course, is rather good at getting people to buy stuff online. It’s how they built their online empire – and they are very good at it. Over and above all the extremely efficient sales ploys that they have tested and perfected over years – the free shipping, the suggested complimentary items that would go well with your chosen goods, the e-mails when there’s a special offer – they enjoy a high level of both brand recognition and trust amongst the buying public. Combine the high trust levels for the Amazon brand with similar brand recognition and trust of the products on offer – Sony, Microsoft, Apple for example – and it will be easy for you to attain a high sales conversion rate.

The Amazon affiliate program – known as the Amazon Associate scheme – is one of the oldest in existence. That’s a sure sign that they’ve got something right and that the scheme is a good one, both for the company and the affiliates who promote it. There’s no cost to join so there’s no risk for you. You will require your own website – but that can be just a free blog if you like. Amazon will want to approve your blog or website. This is quite a simple procedure. Basically as long as you don’t have any hate, racist or “adult” theme to your site, and as long as you don’t use the word Amazon in your url, Amazon will probably approve your site. If there is some minor problem don’t worry – you can reapply as often as you like using a different blog or site.

The sign up process is free, simple and fast. You could be marketing items from the truly enormous Amazon portfolio in a matter of minutes. So rather han spending all your time promoting e-books that very few people want, you could be selling real stuff to real people and making real money.

For people with websites, that want them to be as successful as they can, one of the most important ways to ensure this, is by having good themes for the websites you have. A good theme is going to portray your website in a good light, and it will make customers want to come back time and time again.

The first thing you must do, is decide what you would like your website to look like, the manner in which you would like the payout to be, as well as what you would like your site to accomplish. You can also think about the purpose of your website. For instance, if it is about niche marketing, then a theme like FlexSqueeze is going to help you have better functionality and a dedicated site that wows your customers.

So be sure you put a lot of thought into choosing the right theme for websites you own. You want to be certain to give a great first impression to your customers, right? If your site doesn’t look very good, then you will ensure that you won’t get a lot of return visitors. Consumers who surf the web enjoy sites that are not only easy to use but are well planned out as well.

So when considering your customer, you may benefit from reading reviews about what they want. FlexSqueeze for WordPress, and themes of this nature, always get awesome reviews, because they do what they say, and they are of the highest quality. Beware of themes that get negative reviews because they could be nothing but trouble.

Choosing a theme for websites you are running is one of the best things you can do, especially if you are running a business. The unique and creative theme that you can come up with will easily help you be seen as a professional. So be sure to choose your website theme carefully, especially since it will most likely be the first thing people will see.
