Okay, wrong phrase. You can’t prevent it.
If they can hack into the Pentagon and the White House security records, my blog is never going to be too difficult.
But here are some steps you can take to make it more difficult, maybe to the extent that for $0.3, it’s no longer worth it. Course, you’re blog might earn $0.04…
Anyway, this is what you do:
One more plugin to use. Install WP-DB-Backup so that if everything does go bums up, you have your main database (and anything else you choose to save) backed-up. Hence, you can delete everything and start again fairly easily and quickly.
Finally, I’ve heard suggestions that if you use Filezilla as your FTP program of choice, it makes you more vulnerable to hacking. People I’ve heard this from have changed to a different FTP and never had a problem again so it’s one to think about.
]]>More specifically, were you aware that links from .edu and .gov site seem to have more importance attached to them than links from ‘ordinary’ .com, .net and .org sites.
As with most things to do with Google, then only people who really know how true this notion s are the Google folks themselves, but there is certainly a logic to the idea.
After all, it is possible to manipulate links from ordinary domain names, but far harder to do so with links from educational and government establishments, and you would naturally assume that those links should carry more weight too.
But, how do you find sites like these, .edu and .gov domain sites that are willing to link to sites in your niche? Here’s how…
Run a standard Yahoo! search using your main niche keyword.
This will produce the top ten sites in your niche, so you then take the first domain name and type it into Yahoo! in exactly this format:
‘linkdomain:competingsite.com inurl:.edu’
And, hey presto, you’ll have a list of .edu sites that are carrying links to your competitor.
Now all you need to do is follow up and request a link for your own site from the same .edu establishment. Alternatively, check the site to see whether you are able to ‘register’, in which case you can probably create the link yourself from within your profile.
And of course, exactly the same works with .gov sites as well, so give it a shot and let me know how you get on by leaving a comment.

Nikesh Arora, President of EMEA Operations speaks about how the internet is changing marketing at the Marketing Society Annual Conference in London.
A videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites, a faster server, and a whole new set of programs to support it. Videoblogs can be fed through RSS. This is technology of syndicating your website to other RSS aggregators.
Videoblogging works with people on the internet expressing their selves. Now if you put this on a business prospective, you are up to a lot of benefits. Think of it as a powerful tool in making showing your prospective customers your line of products or your services. It’s just like showing a commercial all for free. And if you videoblog through RSS, then most probably you are getting your target market.
People like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like to see proof and be sure that they are getting their money’s worth before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the influence of a thirty second commercial. The effect of videoblogging is similar to that. You show your product, people watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you present it good enough, they’ll buy the product even if they don’t need it.
Now on the web, things are pretty much static, unlike in television in which all are moving. If you post something that is mobile, it would most likely catch attention. Now imaging your product parading in all it’s royalty through videoblog. You’ll get phone call orders in no time.
If your business is just starting up, you can create a videoblog right at your own home. All you need is your web camera, microphone, video software, and lights. For as long as you know how to use your camera, then you can create a videoblog.
Invest in a good web camera. The higher its resolution is the better the output. And you like to present your goods in the optimum way so get the best one possible. Make a short story, or just capture your goods in one go. Just make sure you are getting the best profile for each. Get those creativity juices flowing.
Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate entirely the area you are going to use to create videoblog. The brighter the area, the crispier the images will be. You can also use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation.
Should you require sounds for your videoblog, you need a microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the product and its benefit to consumers. Sounds are as important as videos on a videoblog. It is advisable to make your sound effects as enticing as the video.
Your video editing software can be any program. You need this to finalize your work. You can add sounds, delete some bad angles, or insert some still pictures in there too. Some programs are user-friendly and can be used even with zero knowledge on video editing. Even simple video editing programs should do the trick. Select your background carefully too. The light affects the presentation so make sure that the background and the light complements each other.
Videoblogging is a great tool but it also has it downside. It may slow down the computer so other may steer clear of it. Download time may also be time consuming especially if customer is still on a dial- up connection.
But don’t let those stop you. Let videoblogging be an alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all possible viewers of your site.
Nowadays, the more creative you are in presenting your product to the market, they more you are likely to succeed. Videoblogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve the customers. You instill in them the advantage of your goods. And at times, those are enough to make a sale.
