One of these kind persons hacked my server a couple of days ago, and while no serious damage was done the time spent fixing the broken files could have been spent doing something more productive.

Now this wasn’t one of those ‘let’s break everything, deface the site and tell everyone about it’ type of attacks, oh no!

This one was far more subtle and consisted of changing a number of HTML files to add hidden links to a load of porn and sales sites.

No-one would even know that the pages had been changed unless they looked at the source code.

The main effect was to add loads of hidden one way links that the search engines would pick up on to rank these sites more highly. Sneaky and highly effective until they are found out.

Luckily for me I use a program called AVG Suite which has a surf shield program built in. When I accessed one of my own site pages it informed me that there were links to suspect sites present, which is when I checked more closely and found the problem.

Which goes to prove a point, if you do not have a good anti-virus and firewall program set up on your computer you are very vulnerable to attack… good old AVG, one of my better investments

Pros of blog advertising

There are several advantages to using advertising for blogs, which make it an attractive option for your website.

These are:

Your blog earns. The revenue generated by advertising allows you to perform improvements on your blog. You can spend for maintenance, pay for better website design, buy a bigger storage space, pay for faster bandwidth, etc. This allows you to grow your blog and attract better traffic.

Advertising gives your blog credibility. Visitors see your blog as something reliable since you have advertisers sponsoring you. Most professional bloggers have advertisers, which means you will also be seen as an authority in the field of your choice. The partnership with a known company will indicate that you offer quality content.

Advertising offers visitors access to relevant products and services. Since ads will appear on the same web pages as related content, your blog’s visitors will be able to view any product, service or information from your advertisers that they may actually be interested in.

You’ll be inspired to maintain a quality blog. Only strong blogs attract advertisers. As a result, you will have all the reasons in the world to make sure that your blog offers quality, useful content. You will be more careful with your choice of topics and subjects. As a result, your writing is much more improved and your blog will become a reliable source of information. The result: increased traffic, a more targeted audience and more advertisers.

Cons of blog advertising

Blog advertising can affect certain aspects of your blog in a negative way.

Some of its disadvantages are:

It dictates the type of content you will publish. Once you have advertising on your web pages, you’ll have to work extra to make sure those ads are noticed and are considered relevant by visitors. This forces you to modify your content just to adapt it to what will attract your readers and entice them to click on your ads. Sometimes, you’ll find that you will have to sacrifice meaty content just to write posts that will promote your ads.

It takes up space on your web pages. You’ll notice this after a while, when you have multiple sponsors and running several ads in one web page. As sponsors buy more ad space, that will take away from the available space usually reserved for meaningful content. As a result, you’ll have to control your content more just to give more room to your ads.

Maintaining advertising on blogs is time consuming. Having enough ads on your blog should allow your site to pay for itself. However, it won’t run all on its own. Now that you have advertisers and sponsors depending on you, you will have to make sure that your blog is worth it.

This means you will have to spend enough time in optimizing your blog so the ads get the audience they need. You will also have to constantly be on the lookout for other advertisers and be ready to negotiate. Other than that, you will have to manage payments and monitor the necessary statistics to make sure that your blog remains competitive. Blog advertising may pay for your blog but it doesn’t take the work away from you.

As discussed by millions of web sites, blogging is an art of posting an authored piece of work. A blog is a combined word for “web blog”. It can be anything you can think of. It is a liberated journal anyone can read. Anyone can publish it or make comments about it. A blog might be in form of formal or informal, humorous or sensitive. Kinds of blogs that a blogger can dig into are: political, personal, health, literary, travel, legal, educational.

For those who just got hooked and are having a hard time creating a blog, either in a form of a simple text blog, vlog (video blog), artlog (art log), and the like, this might be a boost.

Step 1. Find a Host. This would mean a website wholeheartedly ready to accept whatever you post. A first-step training on putting up your own blog. Make sure to find a decent provider. And how would you create your own jumping out of the conventional? That’ll be tackled in step number 2.

Step 2. Sign up. After which, different options and samples would appear or pop out giving you an idea on what your finished blog might look like. Personalize. Choose wisely. Choose creatively. Choose as if you’re painting your own picture. Don’t forget to include your personal information.

Step 3. Decide.  A blog can either be private or public. Private blogs are for your eyes only and those who have permission and access to view it, while public blogs are created for everyone to view and to read. Therefore it depends on your preference if your blog’s a free-access type or a password generated one. Also consider the different schemes and layout. Edited blogs would look more inviting to the eyes.

Step 4. Adjust. Don’t settle for the ordinary. Pull the plug if it’s not working. Delete unacceptable styles and modify anew. To write a blog is not as easy as it looks. Your first few tries might seem disturbing because you’re trying to figure out how everything must work. But when you’ve familiarize yourself with how everything works, you’ll find the whole process vindicating.

Step 5. Upload. Read the instructions. Digest it. Copy then paste. Image hosting sites points out vividly the A-Zs of uploading. Update daily to establish frequency of visits from readers which is a vital communicating act.

Step 6. Tag it. An image tag would look something like this: <imgsrc=http://filename.jpg>. With the presence of a uniform resource locater or URL, paste the image tag on your journal for your photo to pop out. It’s not enough to paste your picture on your screen. Certain commands must be organized.

Step 7. Publish. Either send your URL to your buddies or to your website, it’s okay. Add your URL to other blogs made.

And that’s it!

The moment you get hooked in making blogs, you’ll find out the benefits. And you’ll realize that there are millions of people out there who are just like you.

Possibly the most common question I have been asked is ‘Do I Need It?’

Simple answer - Yes!

The only exception to that answer has to be if you are one of those people who will take Mike up on his offer of a FREE membership and then do absolutely nothing with it…

If you are one of that small number then stop reading now.

But I joined. Why not - it’s free.

I joined with healthy skepticism. I am usually pretty critical
of the free content you find out there.

However, I soon found my skepticism melting away. In fact,
I was quite pleasantly surprised by what I found.

http://www.profits-net.com/track/go.php?c=reports

First, I have to say that this site is pretty ingenious when you
think about it. Branded, high quality reports you get to give
away - and make money from.

When I actually checkout out a few of the reports, I found
that they were much more than just “thrown together trash”.
In fact, quite the opposite.

Along with the reports supplied by the staff writers of the
site, members can also contribute their own reports. As a
free member, you can contribute one of your original
reports every month.

After a while, once you have contributed a few reports, you
will see how viral this concept really is.

I’ve seen an increase in my traffic, as well as seen my own
credibility as an expert shoot through the roof.

My advice to you is simple. Join. Now. Why wouldn’t you?

Today I want to talk about why they work so well, and how you can make the most of them to explode your online income.

Traditionally, JVs are most common between two people who have created a product and are selling it online. But that needn’t be the case and I will tell you shortly of a way in which you can get all the benefits, traffic and sales of a JV without even having a product of your own.

But first lets look at the principals of it: What actually happens in a JV cross-promotion?

Webites promote other websites for two main reasons:

1. To earn income from commission sales.

2. To pay, or earn, favors.

The first of these you might expect, the second is more intricate.

You see, when you’re running an online business, your options and your growth are restricted if you try doing it all on your own.

Sure, there’s pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, traffic exchangers, and a variety of ways you can draw traffic to your site by paying for it.

But nothing beats personal recommendation.

Its human nature: We all prefer to buy through personal recommendation than by enticing advertisements.

And JV’s, or cross-promotions are all about personal recommendation.

The only thing is - as every super-affiliate knows - even if you’re offering attractive commission rates, the site that’s getting promoted always gets more out of the deal than the JV partner who’s doing the promoting. Look at this comparision:

The JV partner doing the promotion gets:

1. A ‘notional’ favour from the site it promotes.

2. Commission payments, hopefully paid in good time but always at the discretion of the site owner.

The site being promoted gets:

1. Lots of new list members

2. Lots of Sales

3. Lots of recognition

Which would you rather?

Can you see now why the benefit isn’t split evenly in a JV deal?

This is one of the reasons why it is more difficult than many people think to get JV partners promoting for you.

No matter how attractive your commission percentages are, you will always be getting more out of the deal than your JV partner. Especially if your landing page is a list-building squeeze page.

But there is an option available. Especially if your aim is to build a list.

You could run a MyViralSpiral site.

MyViralSpiral is a webserver script that gives you a complete solution for building a list and a business online.

One of its features is that it turns the above JV example on its head to provide more of a win-win for both parties. Here’s what you can do with it:

As a listbuilder, you can offer a squeeze page for your JV partner to promote. He then sends his list to the squeeze page, where they sign up to your list. Then, this is when it gets interesting:

Your JV partner can decide which offer page his signups are directed to after signup.

Gone is the traditional method whereby once his leads have signed up to you they’re yours, to direct wherever you like. With MVS, your JV partner can choose what to show them *after* they’ve joined your list…

It might be to his own product, or an affiliate link somewhere else - or he may choose to use his affiliate link for your product (in keeping with the normal method).

The point is, your JV partner has more say about who benefits from his promotion and how. And that kind of power makes all the difference when it comes to getting others to promote for you, and build your list.

This is one of many characterisics of MyViralSpiral that make it well worth a good look if you want to start building JV
relationships.
