WordPress iframe injection attack
Update: It has been determined that this attack has stemmed from the adobe acrobat and adobe flash flaw which steals ftp accounts from compromised computers. What the attackers do is login to thousands of ftp accounts and rewrite index.html files an other top directory files. Read more…
What merchant account should you use?
Time and time again I get customers that ‘jump the gun’ and go to the bank and get a merchant account before they have a website or shopping cart system. This is usually a bad idea for many reasons. For one you want to make sure you have selected a shopping cart that you will be happy with first. Could you image having a merchant account that is only supported by one shopping cart and that shopping cart sucks? Second how do you know that the merchant account you just got is the best deal? Just because its through your bank doesn’t mean they gave you the best rate. Read more…
Shopping around for a cart?
An action plan for your next ecommerce endeavor
Ok so you want to sell stuff on your website…great! How do you do it? What do you use? Who can do it for you?
The reality is most small businesses don’t give much thought into something that is very important. They just tell their web designer ‘I need a shopping cart’ and don’t think to investigate and do their homework. Read more…
Posting on blog directories
Ok so now you have a blog or a website with a blog. Sure it’ll eventually get noticed on the search engines but don’t you want more traffic now? There are lots of great blog directories where you can add your blog. Some of these directories will also take your rss feed and every time you add an entry it will show up on their website. So I put together this nifty list of blog directories for you. A word of advice…its a good idea when submitting to a blog directory (or any website or directory) to log each one into a spreadsheet complete with notes. Sometimes directories will ask you to create an account and you don’t want to los that information. This way your link project is organized and detailed =)
What is cloud hosting?
Many small business owners have heard the term ‘cloud hosting’ and loosely understand its meaning. The service is fairly new in the hosting world but the concept has been around for years. Think of it as a totally different concept compared to traditional hosting. In traditional shared hosting you are on a server with hundreds and sometimes thousands of other users or hosting accounts. When a user’s traffic or activity goes up it affects everyone else on that machine and ultimately the performance goes down and sometimes your website and email go down too until an administrator kicks the abuser off or the activity goes down. This is similar to an apartment complex…when everyone uses the hot water at the same time you either get very little hot water or no hot water. Read more…
Link Farms…Stay Away!
The SEO service world is still like the wild wild west. Many customers fall into the trap of SEO ‘promises’ or ‘guarantee’s’ by companies that use link farms and other scams to artificially drive you up to the top of the search engines. Participating in these ‘bad neighborhoods’ can get you to the top but once google or other search engines catch wind of everything you could be caught in the trap too and get black listed. So basically you could lose your ranking and the money you spent with the company that promised you the path to the top. Read more…
