I Think I Have Been hacked!

Hello All,

I just thought I would write this very quick post to keep you up to date. I may not post for a week or so. I have a feeling I have been hacked and I have no idea if it is my website that has been hacked or my computer! :(

Over the last couple of weeks every now and again I have been noticing the pop ups appearing on my site when ever I have loaded it up in internet explorer or firefox. These lovely popups have been trying to sell me “texas holdem poker”.

Now I know I am not a gambler and as far as I know I have note placed any popups to this site! I did contact my hosting company and appareantly according to them there is no malicious code as far as they can see to my site, and believe my computer has a virus.

After numerous scans over the last 4 days according to my computer I don’t have any viruses yet I am still getting the pop ups! So I guess my next choice is to reformat my computer and start again. That way I know my computer is clean. I will also have to strip back my website to its bare shell and start again.

Introducing Internet Marketer Alex Sysoef – WordPress Blogging Expert!

Hello All,

This is a very quick post to introduce you to another Internet Marketer I have been following called Alex Sysoef.

Alex is an expert on WordPress and his blog has information on anything and everything to do with wordpress and the world of blogging.

Lately I have been really interested in my blogs security. I have been noticing I am starting to get spammed a bit now that my ranking has improved and more traffic is visiting. Don’t get me wrong I love the visitors and love getting the comments, but not from people leaving keywords in the name field (such as ‘seo expert’ etc) and making silly simple one lines of “Good Post” and think I will actually give them some link love and print their comment!

The other thing I have been noticing in my travels is pop ups connecting to some sites linking to ‘xxx’ and gambling sites. I have my browser set to notify me of banned pop ups. I know that most of us don’t have pop ups associated with our sites so I found this interesting and tried to research more!

Stephen Pierce – 21 Basic Laws Of Internet Business Success!

Hello All,


I just thought I would write a very quick post and share a blog post I found in my blogging travels. :mrgreen:

I have been following and watching many so called internet marketing guru’s, some are excellent and share a wealth of knowledge all year around and others only share when they are promoting their next big launch.

One internet marketer I do like is Stephen Pierce. I have been on his mailing list for about a year now and I have also read his book “Make Real Money On The Internet”. It has only been recently that I have started to visit his blog (you can check out Stephen Pierce’s blog by clicking here. Stephen Pierce) and today I found a really cool post I wanted to share and give you food for thought! :D

The post I am referring to is 21 Laws Of Business Success. (You can read Stephen’s full blog post by clicking here. 21 Laws.)

Stephen believes in order for us to be successful online we need to have some form of business code or laws we abide by. Such as our ethics, morals, integrity towards our clients and operating business.

John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Master Class Coaching Program Week 6!

jtmaster

Hello All,

Welcome to Week 6 of John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Training Masterclass Coaching Program.

Wow! :shock: This is my third post in 2 days! For the last week I have not been able to get a lot of work done. My little one has decided not to have many afternoon naps and I have had a bad ear infection. I lost my hearing completely on my right side. It is amazing the things you take for granted. I have had to learn to focus on people’s mouths when they talk and actually look at someone when they talk to me. It has been an interesting experience. ;)

The last 2 days I have managed to squeeze a bit of study time so here I am catching up on some post writing and honouring my commitment to write about John’s internet training program.

So lets get on with it and begin with this Week 6′s tasks……. :D

Internet Marketing Masterclass Week 6: Advanced Blogging Tactics

This week we were sent our welcome letter for the week, our checklist and we only had 2 videos to download and watch to learn what tasks we needed to do for the week. One of the videos was a 2 hour :shock: webinar that John hosted on our questions and answers regarding the course. This video took a long time to transcribe! :oops:

jtmaster

Hello All,

Welcome to Week 5B of John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Training Masterclass Coaching Program.

So continuing on with my learning on how to create an online business, this post is the continuation of my last post on Week 5 Part A.

In week 5 Part A we were given the first 8 videos to watch and the tasks to do that were considered compulsory viewing. The next 6 videos and tasks are considered optional, meaning that we don’t have to do the tasks if we don’t want to at this stage.

So lets continue with Week 5B’s tasks…….

Marketing Masterclass Week 5B: Adding Graphics To Our Blogs Part B

The next set of videos are all about making some editorial changes to our blogs, such as adding and removing Google Adsense, adding video, widgets, images, banners to our posts and sidebar columns.

Video 9: Removing Google Adsense From Our Blog Posts

Some people may like having Google Adsense in their posts and others don’t so in this video Daniel shows us how to remove the html code from our post template.
