Blackhatters use different techniques to spam the world, do you hate spam ? Yeah I do, because I get a lot of spam emails lately, and everyday my junk mails about 400-600 emails, the problem is that I still have to go through junk mail folder since most of the times I have important emails in junk folder. But there is no way to stop spammers, oh GOD save us from spam, heh..

Anyways, search engines are always good source of information, right ? and we can also get the most active and recently added emails on the web for FREE ! oh, please don't spam !…

Ok, its 7th May today, so we will be searching for the most recent submitted emails in Google, Yahoo, AOL and any other site you can think of, gather a list and send them your CPA offers, Gosh ! don't ever think to spam the world, you will get yourself in trouble, want to take risk ? lets find emails..

Lets go to google and search for this month's email addresses, here is what you will search in google, for searching email addresses.

@hotmail.com "2008-05-08"
@yahoo.com "2008-05-08"
@aol.com "2008-05-08"

You can always set the number of pages for google to display by adding &num=100 at the end of your url. You can also modify the date format for more accurate results and add keyword as well. Now think like an evil and use your mind to make more efficient searches. I personally noticed that Yahoo.com gives more results, so check that as well. By the way to find more specific buyers and sellers, you can always query the same thing excluding date at Alibaba, Amazon and eBay. You can use any email harvesters that allow you to write harvesting rules, and save all these emails, becuase it would be waste of time by copying and pasting all those email addresses from result pages.

Final words : Please don't spam as we all hate spammers and 99% of the times your emails get deleted and no one ever reads it.

The answer is YES. Many people including myself have made a killing from cragslist, and it still works, it is not as effective as it used to be in past years but it is still a cash cow and you can still earn a lot from it, a normal marketer who is just starting can easily earn $60-$100 per day depending on how much dedicated and smart he is. When it comes to craigslist most marketer just hide the secrets because they don't want YOU to be in the competition and they want to keep all the cash in their **** Yeah 'pockets' I mean..

Well, I am sure, once you visit the CraigsList website, you will close it within 10 seconds, yes it it ugly, frustrating, stupid looking website, but hey ! you want to milk it - right ? so just ignore their design and don't under estimate that it can bring you decent cash. So here is a quick intro of CL. It was designed in 1999 where people used to post bulletins, Ads, job postings etc free, it is still free but the difference is that back in 1999 it was limited to a few cities in the US but now its gone global, almost 400-500 cities including international Ads. They do have paid Ads, but its FREE for all, so we will make money with free postings of-course. I will not go into basics but rather throw some money making ideas that actually work.

Ok, once you have familiarized yourself with that text based website, we are ready to go. First you should pick up what you want to promote, your own product ? do you have a product ? if NO, can you spend some money to get your product ready by any freelancer ? if NO, then lets pick affiliate products and find products on Commission Junction or Clickbank.I have found by testing that the most effective cities are New York, Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Florida, San Francisco, and New jersey but depending on your niche and product that you are promoting you can try other cities as well. Ok below are the few quick methods that are very  effective;

1. Promote the "Get rich", "Money Making" products like ebooks, software etc
2. Post Ads in many cities, do not post excessively in one section, it will be flagged and deleted
3. Image Ads are more effective
4. Do not post early in the morning, its important
5. You can always use tools for posting ads (yeah its called spam)

Ok that was easy and hard work, but you will make some decent money through it. Now, lets look it in a different way, why not to approach people who are seeking something ? You might have noticed people post ads when they seek something, now for this you should have a website and an account with eBay, Amazon and/or CJ where you will create a page to that specific product and then contact the buyer and redirect them to that page OR simply hide your affiliate link with tinyurl and contact the buyer and give them that link, they will buy the product and you will get commission. This still works for me, and people also thank me for helping them our, its a win-win situation. haa.

If you go Blackhat and think like an alien, then lets consider posting a job vacancy for people who are interested in working from home, now there are hundreds of thousands of people who wish they could somehow work from home for a few hours and make a lot of money, they can never find a magic formula and they happily pay us for our new report / ebook, lets use them to make some money again. Post an ad and many people will contact you for SURE, I can guarantee you, then using any Autoresponder e.g. GMail, create an email which will be like you are talking to that person and telling them how to work from home, in that email you can promote affiliate products, put CPA offers, stuff your cookie and sky is the limit, think out of the box and there are many other ideas. The good thing is that you are making a good list of people who are seeking jobs, and you can promote many "get rich" products easily and the conversion rate is higher.

Enjoy and post your thoughts, ideas and tricks that work for you.

There are probably hundreds of free image hosting websites, but we stick to the one that we started to use, I personally used to use Imageshack back in 2003 and also recommended my friends, but I stopped using it from the day when I was in my office and I opened Imageshack to upload images and saw porn and nude images on the front page of Imageshack, back then they used to display the most recently uploaded images on the front page, I was lucky enough that none of my colleagues were with me.

Then I switched many hosts, left some for being slow, others for being down most of the times, others being rude and now I am finally using the one that I think is best if not the best and that's http://www.ImageOX.com Yeah I know its my friends' website but I know its on a dedicated server and the feature it supports are awesome, I haven't seen these feature in any other image hosts.

Here is a quick overview of the features I personally love,

Image Randomizer- with this feature, ImageOX gives you a static url, which loads a different image from one of your image series that you have previously uploaded on each page refresh.

Flash based CD Presentation- that's a cool feature as well, you upload all your images, set a background music, and download a ZIP file, extract that ZIP file and put all files in CD and burn your CD, it will automatically create an autorun CD for you

give it a try and check all other features yourself I am sure yo will stick with it.

Its seems Google is updating the Pagerank. Currently, at the time of writing this post we have Pagerank of 0, so no pagerank, however I have requested a couple of my friends to linkback to this blog a few days back, so lets see what I get in this update.

I have not yet started submitting this blog to directories or seach engines, however I have noticed that Google has already crawled this blog so quickly. I believe we will get a Pagerank 5 straightaway, but no body knows how Google technology works.

While Google is updating the Pagerank, there are many jumps in pagerank, some higher pagerank websites are way down to PR2 or PR3 and some PR2 show PR4-PR5, but this remains for a couple of hours / days. I believe this is because of the updating process of Pagerank on many Google Data centers, so once the update is complete you get a static Pagerank until next update.

So if we were lucky enough to get in Google before the pagerank update process we will definitely see some pagerank in next couple of days.

I really enjoyed this flash animation, and am pretty damn sure you will also love it. I remember when the Flash and Swish were new in the market, all the websites were loaded with Flash animations, but still since the Adobe has bought Macromedia, there are a lot of fully Flash based websites, and we all love those effects. But personally I think the Flash trend is fading since the arrival of Javascript and utilization of those Javascript functions currently known as Ajax, however its a never ending discussion, lets enjoy the flash animation by alanbecker.

Well, first line for this article will be : Illegal, Illegal and Unethical

Some people completely go crazy without a single thought, and don't care what they are doing to others for making money. Companies spend thousands of dollars for the development of any software, programmers spend hundreds of hours for developing their software and these ****** put those software on torrents in seconds, not even minutes to be redistributed unethically and illegally.

Personally these kind of torrent tools and websites offering torrents make me sick, I think we have come to a point where no company can save us from these kind of people downloading software illegally, and there are no set rules to be implemented, I remember we had very strict rules on our forums back in late 90's and early 2000, where even person talking about illegal software or cracks was being banned, and now a simple Google query can find your software for free and without even spending 2 minutes. Bullshit !

Every single day companies have new products and on the same day that product is cracked and spread, they still make a lot out of it, but this effects small individuals who try their best to make a decent living by selling their small software but again these people kill their dreams by spreading it.

CPA and PPI Exploitation

Not only distributing software, but spreading viruses, spy-ware, Trojans and more. This is not the end, they also exploit the Affiliate programs and CPA offers (Cost Per Action) where they increase their revenue unethically and illegally. Here is how they do it, there are many Affiliate programs that offer you CPA (cost per action) and PPI (pay per install), in CPA offers, once a potential client completes/takes an action, for example the company wanted to fill a form and they pay you for that, that's a CPA offer, CPA can be anything in which you ask someone to take action and the company will pay you, and the pay per lead can be between $3-$100 (depends). And PPI is pay per install, they give you a software link, where if someone downloads that software and installs, the company will pay you for that. Now what these blackhat illegal people do, there are hundreds of ways to exploit these affiliates programs, but the most commonly used are below.

Exploiting CPA Offers

First they find which torrent file is being downloaded the most, so simple pick a software, video, songs etc which is hit these days, they put it in the ZIP archive and password protect the file, now they create a readme.txt file which is not password protected, when someone downloads the file, they can only open the readme.txt file, which tells them to go to any specific URL where they will complete a form (a CPA offer) and upon completion the final word will be the password, now when someone has already downloaded a file of say 40MB, he will certainly go to that url and complete the CPA offer, once he competes the offer that blackhat person gets paid, and who cares about the password ? if that does not work, and if that password works, then that software will be infected with viruses, Trojans and spy-ware, PPI etc, thus they take advantage of that again and over again exploiting YOU.

Exploiting PPI Offers

What a blackhat person will do, is join a company that offers PPI (pay per install), they usually pay from something between $0.25 - $5 per install (that's what I know, it can be more or less), after getting approved, they will again find the most downloaded or the hottest torrent file, they will download it, and then bind (combine) both EXE's in one single exe, I mean e.g. the original software file was PPI-install.exe and any other hot software file was hot-software.exe they will combine these 2 files within 1 file, (I will not discuss how to do that, but its quite easy and even its already distributed with Windows XP, so that's already in your computer), and then they rename that file to hot-software.exe and upload to the torrent, people are always looking for free stuff, they will download your file and install, while installation that PPI file will automatically be installed on their computer and hence the blackhat person will be paid for that installation. Most of the times people combine all these tactics into one single file, where you will have the readme.txt that will tell you to complete a CPA offer, then once you complete and unlock the file, you will have an exe file with PPI file embedded in it, and after installation you will be infected with a spy-ware and leak your personal information where these people will use your money and information for all their illegal activities, and search your computer for anything they want.

I would personally appeal to the readers to STOP using illegal software and STOP using torrents, this is not only polluting the internet but your own life and computer, be aware that there are hundreds of ways to search your computer and leak your private documents once you install a software and no Anti-Virus will ever detect it. Trust me, a simple programmer can write code in 10 minutes in which once you install their exe they have full control over your computer.

Well, this will be extremely helpful for displaying relevant ads with Google Adsense. This basically helps adsense publisher and give more control of the Ads being displayed on their websites. With the help of this publishers will be able to review all type of Ads that s/he will place on his/her website.

In my opinion it will work extremely good for publishers because this way we will control which type of Ads we want to be displayed on our websites, not only this but more control on types of targeted ads. So if you already have a rich content website with genuine content that's another money making gem for you that will display more relevant Ads on your websites if you do it properly.

Here is what Google says :

The Ad Review Center is a new publisher tool which enables you to allow or block specific placement-targeted ads, giving you more transparency and control over the placement-targeted ads appearing on your sites. You can choose to allow or block individual ad groups and advertisers, as well as filter ads by type.

When you block ads in the Ad Review Center, you'll need to provide the reason for blocking the ad group or advertiser. We use this information internally to help improve products and share it with advertisers to help them improve their campaigns. This feedback gives advertisers more insight on how to create ads that are relevant to your site. By opting into the Ad Review Center, you allow us to tell advertisers you have blocked their ads, as well as share your reason for doing so. 

Once you are logged in to your Google Adsense account, click on "Adsense Setup" and then click on Competitive Ad Filter or follow the link below to sign up using this great tool. I will follow up with some more details about polishing and how to use it properly in next couple of articles.

Wordpress is simply amazing and I am loving it. I have never used any other blogging script, but this seems to be perfect for a part time blogger like me. Now the wordpress 2.5.1 has been released and available for download.

You may download wordpress 2.5.1 here

It has been published on the WordPress site that there is a serious vulnerability on the Wordpress 2.5.0 version, so everyone MUST upgrade to 2.5.1 I was just wondering what was the vulnerability that the WP is recommending everyone to upgrade to the latest version.

Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.

Finally I found that the WP 2.5.0 has a vulnerability in its registration system where an attacker can register with a specific username and generate cookies for any other chosen account, for example "admin". Once he generates the cookies, he gets Admin privileges and can do whatever he wants. Its quite dangerous, so my suggestion to all the readers would be upgrade your Wordpress now to the latest version that claims to have fixed 70 bugs in previous version.

An attacker, who is able to register a specially crafted username on a Wordpress 2.5 installation, is able to generate authentication cookies for other chosen accounts.

This vulnerability exists because it is possible to modify authentication cookies without invalidating the cryptographic integrity protection.

If a Wordpress blog is configured to freely permit account creation, a remote attacker can gain Wordpress-administrator access and then elevate this to arbitrary code execution as the web server user.
