They’re out there. Individuals trying to make a quick buck at
your expense. You labour hours on end to produce quality content
on your website only to get repetitive requests for huge numbers
of product or promises for the greatest deals online. As a
webmaster for a cell phone and PDA site, I’ve had my share of
spam and scams come through, mostly via email, some posted on my
forum. The purpose of this article is to provide a few methods
of detecting spam and scams, and provide a few examples as well.
Take a look over and protect yourself from online cellular fraud.
Anybody catch the 60 minutes episode where Andy Rooney teaches
faithful viewers how to detect junk mail? Junk email works in
much the same way. Items with subject headings ‘Great deal’, or
‘limited time offer’ usually can wait, and definitely don’t have
great offers hidden inside. Webmasters and consumers should have
a golden rule, if you don’t know where an offer came from (you
don’t know the sender) then delete it. Plain and simple. Most
free email accounts, GMAIL, Hotmail, Yahoo!, have good filters
that label incoming spam and scams as, well, spam. However, the
majority of webmasters do not use free email accounts for the
sake of professionalism. To these individuals, a basic virus
detector usually includes email protection and generally will
detect possible spam items before they hit your box. Having said
this, if you’re doing link campaigns, or joining forums, etc.,
in order to promote your site, it may not be a bad idea to
enlist the free online email account and prevent all the
unwanted junk from hitting your work emails.
It’s been my experience that some people out there hand pick
contact pages of potential victims, and therefore the email may
be somewhat individualised to your site. Your name, the site
name, or similar content, may be communicated within the email
making it appear somewhat legitimate. Be mindful of your email
accounts (contact pages) that are exposed to the world wide web.
Some smart scammers have created bots that will automatically
harvest emails that are sitting live on the web and input them
into a spam list. Remember this when trying to determine whether
something from the web is legit.
If an questionable email has contact information, Google it. If
it’s a legitimate company contacting you, they should have some
type of online presence. I’ve noticed that the majority of spam
and scams have fake mail addresses, but no online address.
Furthermore, emails usually come from online web accounts like
Yahoo!. Not only can you search contact information, you can
serach content as well. Chances are a webmaster has posted the
contents on a forum somewhere wondering about its legitimacy. I
can’t stress this enough, take 4 seconds and doabout the email
before you consider replying.
With these simple and quick tips you should be able to identify
the majority of scam and spam emails. If in doubt, delete. If
something was important that you deleted, or legitimate, the
individual will likely try to contact you again. With this in
mind, here are some examples of spam and scam emails from the
cellular and technology industry, my comments are in brackets.

Apple’s App Store downloads surpassed 2 billion in just over a year, at an astonishing rate of 6.6 million downloads per day. With more than 85,000 apps available, iPhone and iPod users are at no loss for options. The iPhone can be as useful as you need it to be, and the potential that it has is amplified even more with the right apps. The App Genius has made it easier to find some undiscovered apps, and undoubtedly added to the rapid increase in downloads. From personal use to strictly business, the iPhone or iPod can deliver results quicker than you can say, “There’s an app for that.” For many, business is done solely on the iPhone, from entering credit card information (there’s an app for that!) to communicating with clients worldwide. Apps can go beyond these functions, helping to save time (and money) with just a few taps of a finger. In this week’s top five, we’re looking beyond the basics to find some of the best apps for productivity.
1. Evernote (Free)
One of the most popular productivity apps, Evernote helps you stay organized with an easy-to-use interface and features that many other productivity apps don’t have. When you write a new note, the app tracks your location, allowing you to go back to the note to see where you wrote it (great for on-the-go travelers); you can assign notes to different locations as well. The app allows users to store travel itineraries, maps and travel documents, reminders, photos and voice memos, all through one app. Evernote also lets you search your notes, so you don’t have to remember when or where you first created it. Evernote is actually a desktop program (PC and Mac compatible), so you can sync notes from your regular computer to your iPhone, and vice versa.
2. Personal Assistant (Free)
Just like the name says, this amazingly free app lets users track online spending, investments, travel and more – all from your phone. Users can set up multiple accounts for credit cards to track balances, investment portfolios with up-to-date changes, airline miles accounts, cell phone minute tracking, and even manage a Netflix queue. Twitter and Gmail can also be integrated into Personal Assistant, meaning you may never really need to exit the app. You can even access your account directly from the app, and manage accounts no matter how far from home you may be. Those concerned with security will be happy to know that if your phone is stolen or lost, you can easily disable the mobile connection from the app’s main Web site, Pageonce.
3. Toodledo ($2.99)
Toodledo goes beyond a pen and paper to give you a powerful and easy-to-use tool for making to-do lists that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle. Manage multiple lists according to you’re their priority level, set alerts when due dates or events get closer, and seamlessly integrate your lists with Toodledo.com. Toodledo also has a collaboration feature, where you can allow others access to a certain list to add or edit additional items. The app boasts a customization feature to make your productivity experience unique to you, so it can be as simple or complex as you need. Toodledo also imports tasks and notes from compatible task management platforms such as Outlook and iCal, or other online to-do list managers.
4. Dropbox (2G Free, Premium service extra)
Have you ever come home from the office, and suddenly remembered a file you forgot to send to yourself or someone else? Have you ever been stranded when a file goes missing or becomes corrupt without a backup file to work from? Chances are, you’ve been in this situation at least once before. Dropbox helps to remedy this, by instantly syncing your important documents to your iPhone and any computer you assign it to. Instead of being backed up on a hard drive, Dropbox utilizes…

Many busy adults take online courses to make it more convenient for them to upgrade their degrees or earn degrees in new fields. However, to take advantage of this, one must be confident enough in his/her computer skills in order to be able to complete the online courses and earn one’s degree online.
For some, especially those who work on computers in their current occupations, that likely isn’t a problem, as they will likely already have experience with programs they will use in their online courses. On the other hand, those who don’t use computers much or at all in their current occupations, may have a steeper learning curve in regards to working with the software that is necessary to successfully pass online courses.
People wishing to pursue a degree via online education should be familiar with word processing software like Microsoft Word, spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, and presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, since it is possible you will have to create documents, spreadsheets, and/or presentations that you will need to send to your professor via email or have to upload to a site from which your professor will download it.
Therefore, you should also be familiar with your email software program, like Microsoft Outlook or a web-based email provider like Hotmail, Yahoo, and/or GMail, as well as knowing how to upload and download files, since you’re not going to be able to write your answers on notebook paper or print out pages from your printer in order to give to your professor, nor will he/she give you papers with your assignments on them since you likely will not meet him/her in person during the course. So knowing how to email and upload/download files will be essential for you to complete online courses.
Often, your professor will provide video and/or audio lectures for you as part of your course material. As a result, you should be familiar with whatever software is required to access these lectures, whether it would be RealPlayer, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, or the University’s own software program. Familiarize yourself with the controls so you can playback the lectures easily and can concentrate on the information given in the lectures, not on how to work the software.
It is certainly possible that your course material will require you to conduct some searches for additional information, so you should be familiar with the Google search engine at least, if not others like Yahoo, AskJeeves, MSN, etc. Know how to search for information on various topics by knowing what keywords, or words that signify what topic you are looking for, to input into the box.
At times, computers and software programs won’t function like they are supposed to, resulting in error messages and complications. The more experience you have with computers, the more likely you’ll be able to solve these problems on your own. However, should you get stuck, contact your professor and/or classmates and see if they can assist you. Let them know right away that you are having trouble and can’t solve it so that you don’t fall behind in your classes, because once you fall behind on the material, it is very difficult to catch up, especially if you are uncomfortable using computers to begin with.
Many people nowadays look toward online courses to help them obtain their degrees faster, but one must be prepared to work with the software that is required to complete these online courses in order for them to receive that added benefit of gaining their degrees faster.

Do you hate Link exchange spam as much as I do? All these link swap requests you get every day asking you to link to online casino or pharmacy websites in exchange for a link from some link farm? Link exchange scam is an interesting theme for a study per se and still awaits its researchers. But in the meanwhile the SEO community is being successful in summarizing the guidelines for the most perfect link exchange scam. (Please, don’t take them seriously:)
Filing an Exchange Request
* Send an automated e-mail request or use a bot to submit it via an online contact form. Combining the both methods is preferred whenever possible.
* Use a free e-mail account such as Gmail, or better yet, some foreign free e-mail service to send your message. Sending a duplicate request from your company account is also beneficial.
* Do send follow up e-mails. Sooner or later your victim will give up and read one of them.
* Send minimum 100-300 automated requests every day. Push your mail server’s spam detection to the limits.
* Make sure that the website you are trying to contact is absolutely unrelated to your field.
* Send your request to every e-mail address you can find on the target site. Let the sales or customer support guys forward them to the webmaster.
Writing Your Request
* Address properly. No names required. Best thing is to use the website’s title or at least the URL: “Dear Blue Cheap Online Widgets”, or “Hello www.bluewidgets.com”
* Kiss ass. Tell your victims how much you adore their websites. Do use superlatives.
* Inform. Let your recipients know how important PageRank and incoming links are. Go in depth with the mysteries and magnificence of the PageRank and how the high PageRank will ensure them the first positions in Google.
* Scare. Notify them that their link popularity is low, and their positions in search engines are threatened.
* Share a secret. Tell them that the three-way linking is more effective, since search engines detect and ignore two-way links.
* Threaten. Notify them that their link will be removed from your high quality directory if they do not provide a link back in the specified number of days.
* Show your scale. Make your message easily detectable as a bulk sending by setting a different font size and color for the recipient’s address and site name.
* Be unofficial. Use the Internet argot in your e-mail. Like ‘u r’ instead of ‘you are’. This is the Internet – formalism is unacceptable.
* Threaten them again. With hundreds of reminder e-mails.
* Use a girl’s name. Most webmasters are male and should not resist a lady asking for a favor.
Prepare a Sound Links Page
* Your link page must have at least 100 outgoing links, preferably uncategorized. Make sure that minimum 50% point to pharmacy and gambling websites.
* Make sure the links page URL contains at least one poison keyword like ‘links’, ‘partners’, ‘directory’, or ‘exchanges’.
* Alternatively provide a dynamic URL with a minimum of 100 characters of meaningless parameter values.
* Choose links pages that are in Google’s supplementary index.
* The PageRank for your page has to be between 0 and 3 with 0 being the best.
* Make your page look more credible by putting AdSense ads on it. “Well, if Google approves this page, then it is worth having a link from it”.
* Disguise your low PR links pages by opening them in a high PR frame.
* Orphan pages are the best.
Use SEO Tricks
* Link to your partners using one of the following options:
o ‘nofollow’ attribute
o javascript links
o 302 ‘Found’ redirects
* Edit robots.txt to restrict spiders from indexing your links pages.
* Double protect your links pages from indexing by adding meta ‘noindex,nofollow’ tags.

For the sake of curiosity I gave a google search "hacking gmail id" and I got several articles seeing which I am afraid about the security of gmail because if hacking is so easy, I can’t feel secured. Now which one is more reliable- those articles or gmail security?
It all depends on your password, use a short 1 word password or number and you will be inviting hackers.
Mainly they use web-based email providers accounts to send the contents of the hacked account address book a spam. Hackers, typically are not interested in individual content and emails, they just want to use the account to spam people from it and nailing you with the blame.
If they get access to a POP3 account they just go nuts and email everyone they can as quick as they can using the hacked server.
So, use a good password: "YeS#thi5I5my&Pas$WorD!" would be a good one 
Good luck
As companies seek to find more effective, and less expensive, marketing methods, online marketing stands to see the biggest increase. Businesses already spend more on online marketing than they do on Radio and is set to surpass magazines by 2010 (ZenithOptmedia, 2007). However, you can do many things to make sure your website is not lost in the clutter. Below are the top actions your business can take to increase your website exposure and increase your ROI.
1) Maintain and improve your website
Unless your business has an endless marketing budget then you need to rely on your website’s quality to drive traffic to your site. A high-quality website doesn’t just mean something that looks pretty. It means that you have text that engages the reader, contains your keywords, and can be found by Google and other search engines. Simply put, your website needs to be designed to current industry standards with special attention to the basics like page titles, meta descriptions, accessibility, and navigation.
2) Build web presence
Once your website has the basics down you can concentrate on promoting it. Depending on your product you may want to utilize viral media sources like YouTube, MySpace or Twitter. These can be great for B2C type product lines if used in conjunction with directory placements, online press releases, online trade publications, forums and article submissions. The key is to get as many quality links to your website as possible; this will increase your search rankings. The higher your rankings are, the more traffic you will get.
3) PPC advertising
There are several PayPerClick options to choose from. The largest network consists of Google AdWords. You may have noticed these ads when you search for a product on Google and there are “sponsored links.” Adverisers pay to see their advertisement there when you search for certain keywords. This can be a very effective method to drive traffic to your website.
Note: PPC advertising is getting more expensive because of the dramatic increase in competition over the years. This could also reduce the effectiveness of your campaign if it is not monitored closely.
4) eNewsletters
Sending out eNewsletters can be a very effective way of staying in front of leads and existing clients. There are a couple of basic guidelines when sending an eNewsletter.
a) Frequency – Choose a frequency that makes sense. If you email them too much it will reduce the effectiveness of all the newsletters
b) Content – Don’t send a newsletter for the sake of doing it. Provide your mailing list with something of interest and they will thank you for it.
c) Unsubscribe – Make sure your newsletter has an Unsubscribe option. It will help you maintain an email list that is of the highest quality and reduce bad feedback.
d) Compatibility- There are countless email programs. You need to make sure that your eNewsletter looks acceptable in the major ones like Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.
5) Campaign evaluation
One of the most important part of making an online marketing campaign is measuring its results. Keeping track of keyword rankings, incoming leads, new website traffic, and sales are among the most important indicators to a successful campaign. Since online media is usually fast moving and contains many traceable activities you should be able to track the success of your campaign with much greater detail than any other media.

Here is the easy way to get rich just by sitting at your computer (in your pajamas nonetheless!) and painlessly filling out surveys! Actually, you will find all that information in the numerous sales letters out there already, so let’s skip to the next step… the step about actually doing the work.
Those claims you may have heard about easy riches are pushing it. You need to realize that most surveys that take 15 minutes will pay two dollars. Even if you work your tail off, that comes out to a paltry $8 an hour.
The first step to success with online surveys is to ask yourself why you are doing this. Is it to pick up some spare cash or are you going to pay the bills with this income? (Making this your full-time job could be dangerous.)
Once you know why you are doing this, get organized. It would be a good idea to set-up a new e-mail address (Yahoo or Gmail for example) dedicated to online survey offers. You’ll also want to turn off any spam filters to ensure that all the survey offers are getting through to you.
Now you need to sign-up for the surveys. Should you pay $35 for one of those directories? Heck no! Most of those are scams. The best way is to simply go to Google and search for “paid survey.” There’s your list and you just saved $35!
When you sign-up for each account, you’ll have to fill out a profile. It’s important to fill this out completely and honestly so that you get notified about compatible surveys. Depending on your circumstances, you could be bombarded with surveys or just find a couple each week.
Here’s the key: Sign-up for as many online survey sites as you can find! Don’t expect to get unlimited survey options after signing-up with two or three sites. Again, this is the most crucial step!
Now wait a day or two and see what happens. If you don’t get many offers, you might have to rethink any plans of getting rich by doing this!
Here’s the second most important step. Check your email often! Take the survey as soon as you see it. It’s not uncommon for a survey to fill up within a day. (Remember, there are lots of people out there doing exactly what you are.)
Once you get going, you could easily lose track of what you are doing. The first thing to do is get a PayPal account linked to your survey email address. Some places (like GoZing) will pay by PayPal. Not only is this faster and more convenient than a check, it keeps a record of your earnings in one place.
Another thing is to have a hi-speed internet connection. Quite a few surveys have you watch short videos like movie trailers. Also, use Internet Explorer for your browser. Some survey software is not supported in the Firefox browser.
Now that that is settled, want to make even more money? Try focus groups. These are more personal and involved than the surveys, but the payout is considerably greater.
Well, there’s nothing left but to sign-up, get organized, and take surveys. Good luck!
