Small Business Marketing Guru Very Successful and Busy but Still Has Time To Help Others For Free

 

Small Business Marketing Guru Boasts 'Give Me 1/2 An Hour And I Can Show Any Small Business How To Triple Their Profits... I'll Even Pay For The Phone Call'

Small business marketing coach J D Moore makes a bold claim and offers free consulting to back it up.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- Small business marketing guru J. D. Moore recently claimed that in a free 1/2 hour call he can give any small business 3-4 strategies that could triple their profits. Moore is offering free 1/2 hour consulting calls to a very limited number small business owners who sign up on his web site http://www.marketingcometcoach.com. He'll even pay for the call within the United States.

"I have limited time and I am looking to speak with business owners that will take my coaching to heart and go our there and make piles of money," says Moore, "There's no catch wahtsoever, this is how the best small business owners and I find each other and decide if we want to work together to build their business."

And while the claim may smack of overconfidence, Moore is known for very fast, very big results. A client recently implemented one of Moore's suggested marketing systems and realized a 13X growth in revenue in around a month. He captured a #1 and #3 spot in search engine listings in a matter of weeks. One of his media campaigns gained weeks of televsion news coverage, interviews, and radio appearances.

Even though many small businesses can benefit from coaching, it hasn't bene utilized as much as it should. It's estimated that around 90% of small businesses don't even have marketing plans. Even though small businesses provide over 50% of the US workforce, their failure rates are still astounding.

Small business owners in paricular have too little money and too little time to waste on ineffective marketing. They can't market like larger businesses. Coaching is far more affordable than hiring a marketing agency, or wasting money on marketing that doesn't work.

"I have yet to find a business I couldn't help in some way. I regularly find ways to add six-figure revenue streams to my clients businesses while maximizing their current marketing efforts." says Moore.

J. D. Moore, founder of Marketing Comet coaching, has been a small business entrepreneur for over 10 years. He has served as a consultant to some of the largest corporations in the US, and helped startups get on their feet. he's regularly called upon by other marketing consultants for his expertise in electronic marketing and public relations.

New ZiffLeads PPCall Advertising Platform Offers Advertisers Set Pricing and $10 of Free Call Leads

ZiffLeads gives Advertisers more budgeting, planning, and targeting control, with better chance for Good Call Leads

Pleasanton, Calif., (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- SPG Solutions, the leader in Internet-to-telephone call connection application technology, announced the launch of the ZiffLeads PPCall Advertising Network today, at www.ZiffLeads.com, with a $10 credit promotion for all newly registered advertisers.

ZiffLeads PPCall is based on a flat-rate pricing model, so no need for time consuming focus on some dynamic auction model.

Our new PPCall platform brings all our years of call connection, tracking and pay-per-call transaction experience and technology development together to offer a best of breed service for advertisers who value the Call more than the Click.” Explains ZiffLeads CEO Gopesh Kumar.

AskPoodle.com calls itself a "search engine", but is really a Pay-Per-Call and Pay-Per-Chat Site

 

Social Activism Meets the Bottom Line: Innovative Search Engine, AskPoodle.com, Hopes to Show Why Local Human Sales Agents Plus Paid Search Advertising Now Equals Unbeatable ROI

Search engine innovator, AskPoodle.com, is sending advertisers and investors a wake-up call. AskPoodle.com makes a ripple in search engine advertising ROI and an outsourcing-aware public by introducing a locally—focused set of services for online advertisers, such as PayPerCall and “PayPerChat.” The positive impact on local economies coupled with higher ROI could start a trend for the grass roots and Wall Street investors alike.

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- Search engine innovator, AskPoodle.com, is sending advertisers and investors a wake-up call. AskPoodle.com makes a ripple in search engine advertising ROI and an outsourcing-aware public by introducing a locally—focused set of services for online advertisers, such as PayPerCall and “PayPerChat.” The positive impact on local economies coupled with higher ROI could start a trend.

Ubiquitous outcries from CNN’s Lou Dobbs and others have frequently resounded that local economies suffer dramatically in the short term when sales jobs are shipped overseas to countries like India. Security issues have also long been cited by many experts as another key problem. Journals such as the Business Week, August 16, 2004 article titled “Outsourcing: Fortress  india” (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_33/b3896073.htm) have related concerns from experts that sensitive corporate, government and personal information often enters a regulation-free zone when it is outsourced to most overseas companies operating in countries without even the currently lax level of US standards on privacy in place.

AskPoodle.com’s founder, Luis Pereira, is asserting a revolutionary holistic solution that could feasibly become a new trend in search engine advertising. This new model would create a balancing act by encouraging more US companies to hire locally for their PayPerCall sales leads, and by encouraging more consumers to buy locally in both PayPerCall and PayPerChat sales. “The nature of PayPerCall is to support local sales agents and local sales, a win-win for employment and municipal tax bases,” says Pereira. Another boon to local-based PayPerCall sales is that regional flavor, dialect, and conventional ways of communicating are easier for a native to understand and appreciate than for a non-native. Still another key issue is also the need to demonstrate the fact that cheap labor needn’t so consistently come from overseas to service a community in Appalachia or small town America, when there are many willing to take sales agent jobs right in our own backyards. Much of the time these sales jobs can supplement a household income that is at or below the national poverty line.

On the brass tax end, many may ask “what makes a poodle an expert on car engines?” A locally focused, human-administered search feature called “PayPerChat”, quite possibly. What’s more, the Poodle (www.AskPoodle.com) is in your general neighborhood, is familiar with your regional dialect and may even have been to the very antique shop or auto garage you are looking for. AskPoodle.com’s most intriguing innovation, “PayPerChat,” will allow PC-wizards to wield their powers as usual, but with virtual, instantaneous, real-time answers. When the call is successful in landing a sale, the sale is recorded along with any that weren’t successful. That spells the return of authentic ROI measurement, and it has many online advertisers whetting their appetite again for online advertising, and looking askance at PayPerClick.

Innovation has been often cited by economists as the ultimate antidote to outsourcing woes in the US, even as local economies do a nosedive. Luis Pereira, Search Engine Advertising innovator AskPoodle.com’s wizard behind the red curtain, says that PayPerCall has already begun to show that a call is worth a thousand text ads. “How much more likely is the user to initiate a chat session than a phone call?” says Pereira, “…Probably a lot more likely.” Many who use computers prefer virtual interactions to “live” ones with voice due to the informal nature of internet use, yet also prefer human-tailored service. AskPoodle.com’s new concept, PayPerChat, allows a feeling of security while pajama-wearing homebodies or busy non-committal executives inquire on services, materials, investments or products. The range of possible uses is as endless as the current sea of chat rooms, only in these chat rooms people have a motivation to come and spend money.

“Take the PayPerChat model and multiply it by thousands, hundreds of thousands of customers engaged in local chat sessions with buyers in their own backyard, and you have the other half of what is potentially a revolutionary new way of doing business online. It is the human and local elements behind the two main vehicles of AskPoodle.com that stand to revolutionize the way we use the internet, by making the local shopping experience the first option again. If the labor is at least coming from our own local communities must of the time (as in PayPerCall, for instance), it is going to change the face of America, not just the face of how we advertise goods and services online,” says Pereira. “We need to solve two problems, in reality, to even solve one of them. This is how we envision the start of a more balanced trend that benefits everyone in the US, not just corporations.” This is good for everyone. I think if we succeed, America will benefit also.

AskPoodle.com appears to be the first search engine, and arguably the first for-profit company, to formulate this as an issue of their own foremost concern. '“Made in America” may not always be possible, but “Sold by America” may just be.

Pereira says that Ask Poodle, Inc. is currently inviting queries from the media, investors and motivated activist groups.

More Bloggers are Quitting Their Jobs and Blogging Full-Time

In the past year bloggers have been quitting their jobs to blog full-time. Eric Reynolds from Springfield Missouri is one such blogger. Creator of Subnixus.com, he documents his journey from a nine to five job to blogging full-time.

Springfield, Mo. (PRWEB) November 22, 2005 – Over the past year, 26 year old Eric Reynolds has become a full-time blogger. He now makes enough money blogging that he is considering quitting his job with Expedia Inc. and living off of only his blog profits.

“A few months ago I realized that I was almost making as much money from my blog as I was from my real job. That's when I decided to start www.subnixus.com and document the journey from my nine to five job to living off of only my blog.” he said.

Since starting his site two months ago, it has quickly become one of the premiere on-line stops for bloggers wanting to learn how to make money from their own blogs. By sharing the tips he has learned over the past few years, he has been able to help hundreds of bloggers get started along the same path. However, he is quick to point out that a full-time blogger needs more than just a blog.

“Some people think that having a blog is all you need, but that couldn't be further from the truth. You have to provide something that readers can't find anywhere else. In essence you are quite literally selling yourself. Good writing skills and unique content are essential things to have in a successful blog.” he said.

Network Solutions: Still the Domain Price Leader

I guess it's just like those gas stations that sell petrol at a price that is above most of the other stations. The higher cost makes some people think that their more expensive gas must be "better" in some way, otherwise they would not charge more, right?

 

So it is too with domain names. I just happened to be on the Network Solutions (Didn't they change to Verisign at some point...?) site and thought I would check their prices, expecting them to be the same old $30 a year that they used to be. At first I almost went into shock! It said they were only charging $8.95 a year!!!    Then I realized that it said that price was " 1 Year w/ Monthly Hosting". They actually give you the domain for free if you pay for a year of hosting. But if you just want a domain name for a year it's $34.99! Ouch, yup they're still at it.

 

Ok, I do see that there is a price break if you register for more than one year at a time, but why put the pressure on people to register for multiple years? Most other registrars don't do that.

 

So what's the difference between a NSI domain and a GoDaddy or other registrar's domain name? You got it, about $26! They are even charging $34.99 for .info domains, which can generally be had for a huge discount for the first year. Check out www.domainsite.com, my new favorite registrar as an example.

 

NSI also offers something I have not seen, the ability to register a domain for 100 years at only, ONLY $9.99 a year!. What a bargain! An what are the chances that we will have domain names, or have to pay for them in 100 years? I'd say it's pretty slim. Given that the profit on domain names is so huge, I don't expect them to get all that expensive in the future. Thank God, we were able to give NSI some competition. Can you imagine what domains would cost if they were the only provider...!?!?

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections, Inc.

 

OAN, Billview.com, Billingconcepts.com, Nationwide Connections, inc., oanweb.com, Qwest are all involved, but make it very hard to trace back to the source of the bogus phone bill charges

 

In looking over my phone bill this month I discover a charge for $6.25. Now, you would think I would remember a collect a call from Spearfish, SD from last month, right? Well it's a bogus charge and I also discovered we had one on our bill from last February that was supposed to have been made in December 2004. That one was from Michigan and also for $6.25.

 

The numbers they provide in the bills will take you to Nationwide Connections whose supposedly bill on behalf of OAN, whatever those letters mean. All the numbers they give you at Nationwide Connections for OAN just take you back to Nationwide Connections. OAN really does not want to be contacted by you...!

 

The good thing is that Nationwide Connections readily gives you credit or in the case of my old charge says they will send a voucher that can be used against our phone bill for credit. We'll see if we really get one.

 

The message here is to check your phone bill every month and question any funny-looking charges.

 

Do some searches in Google for oan scam and billview scan and you will find it ain't just me.

 

Here's one blog entry that I found that confirms what I've seen:

The Pixel Dir and the New Pixel Advertising Frontier - Yawn...

 

The Pixel Dir and the New Pixel Advertising Frontier

(PRWEB) -- The Pixel Dir is the fresh vision of one of the latest Internet phenomena defined as 'pixel advertising'. It really represents a step forward, both graphically and technically speaking, compared with other existing products based on this approach.

"Working on a site divided into 15 categories, makes it easier, for both advertisers and users, to have access to the available contents" Giovanni Acerbi, one of the 3 experienced web developers working on the project, says. "The step forward is the possibility to change logo or image, links or texts whenever the advertisers may like to. Every change introduced is then visible almost immediately, in a few seconds."

Asked if he thinks it is all what the 'Pix Ad' model has to offer, that is pages full of attractive logos and images, Giovanni says: "It's a very good question. My team members and I think there is always room for improvements and we are actually working on a couple of new amazing features to be introduced very soon in the site. Nevertheless I cannot provide you with a definitive reply, it is too soon."

Giovanni is even sure that all the site has and will have to offer in the very next future is worth the effort of paying pixels 1$ each: "This will probably preserve the quality of the site - he says - and will give us the possibility to invest in next features we are planning to realize."

Talking about what the return on investment (ROI) for the advertisers could be, the team is convinced that the 5 years membership given to the advertisers buying pixels on The Pixel Dir site will really help to improve the buyers' business, actually reducing the cost per click at least of the 50 percent compared to the current market pricing.

Did-it Search Marketing Integration of Strategy, Analytics and Technology

 

Did-it Search Marketing Inaugurates New Search Methodology and Goes Full-Service

Rockville Center, NY (PRWEB) November 8, 2005 -— Top-rated Search firm http://www.did-it.com [Did-it Search Marketing] has inaugurated its new Search methodology, S.A.T. Search—the integration of Strategy, Analytics and Technology in one search marketing firm. At the same time, it has transitioned to become a full-service search marketing agency.

Explains Did-it CEO Bill Wise, “In search, like in most highly complex fields, you need the best plan of attack, the best understanding of your situation, the best tools—and one place to handle it all. That’s true in medicine, that’s true in physics, and it’s equally true in SEM (Search Engine Marketing). That attitude is the basis of S.A.T. Search, and the reason we decided to transition to full service. It’s about bringing best-of breed SEM strategy, analytics, and technology together under one roof.”

The S.A.T. Search methodology, adds Wise, is particularly vital in fields with complex SEM needs, such as finance. Online trading firm E*TRADE FINANCIAL recently signed on with Did-it in October 2005.

“E*TRADE's marketing model is based on a test-and-learn approach, which provides the Company with innovative ways to reach its target, value-driven customer,” says Nicholas Utton, chief marketing officer of E*TRADE FINANCIAL. “E*TRADE FINANCIAL is continuously seeking new forms of marketing technology to reach our target audience with communications that remain smart, interruptive and powerful.”

Adds http://www.sempo.org [SEMPO] Chairperson and Did-it Executive Chairman Kevin Lee, “We are honored E*TRADE FINANCIAL has selected Did-it and look forward to driving outstanding results. Our ability to consistently integrate the most creative Strategy, sophisticated Analytics, and cutting edge Technology under one roof is unique to our industry. Being selected by a market leader like E*TRADE FINANCIAL is a validation of our approach.”

The transition to full-service has created some positioning conflicts, leading Did-it to largely phase out the backend SEM solutions it has provided, until now, for other full-service firms. Did-it is discontinuing most of its backend relationship with Digitas, for example, a move which the two firms agreed to mutually.

Even with the sharp lessening of the relationship, Did-it will continue to work with Digitas on select strategic accounts, such as Cingular Wireless. At the same time, some Digitas/ Did-it clients have moved to Did-it full service. Dun & Bradstreet, for example, became a Did-it full-service client earlier in the year.

“Digitas is a highly valued client,” Wise says. “Loyalty to our clients, regardless of agency status, is our top priority—and will always continue to be.”

http://www.did-it.com [Did-it Search Marketing], a recognized leader in the Search since 1996, drives sales/profit growth, market share and return on marketing investment for over 200 clients including E*TRADE FINANCIAL, Dun & Bradstreet and Cingular Wireless. In 2004, Jupiter Research ranked Did-it the Number One Search Engine Marketing firm for technology and market suitability. www.did-it.com Phone: (800)-932-7761 (516)-255-0500

Search Engine Marketing Firm iProspect Experiences Meteoric Growth In the Netherlands

 

Search Engine Marketing Firm iProspect Experiences Meteoric Growth In the Netherlands

Watertown, MA (PRWEB) November 7, 2005 -- iProspect, the Original® http://www.iprospect.com [Search Engine Marketing Firm], today announced that iProspect Netherlands has experienced tremendous growth during its first four months in business, already serving a number of major brands, including DHL and ING Card. A division of Aegis Group plc’s Isobar Communications digital network, iProspect looks to continue the global extension of its brand into the European and Asia-Pacific marketplaces.

http://www.iprospect.com/nl/[“iProspect Netherlands] was only launched at the end of June 2005, and already serves around 20 major brands -- substantial advertising accounts,” said Marc Noët, Managing Director, Isobar Communications Netherlands. “The search engine marketing knowledge and recognized ethical approach of the iProspect brand in the U.S. that have been duplicated in the Netherlands are two of the key factors in this rapid growth. Our original goal was to become the third largest SEM firm in the Netherlands within nine months. Having achieved this goal in less than half the time, we’ve re-set our sights on achieving absolute market leadership within the Netherlands search marketplace and further re-enforcing the leadership position Isobar Communications already has here," according to Noët.

“iProspect Netherlands’ tremendous growth is demonstrative of the respect the iProspect brand generates,” said Nigel Morris, CEO of Isobar worldwide. Morris continued, “The iProspect brand is globally recognized as the premier player in the search engine marketing arena. iProspect’s http://www.iprospect.com/whychoose/thought-leadership.htm [thought leadership] in the marketplace and reputation for excellence in process, technology, and results speak for themselves. Without question, it is a brand that fits perfectly with Isobar’s strategy to create a global network comprised of the very best digital agencies in all key disciplines. This should be seen as just one part of a global search strategy that is being rolled out in a carefully planned and rigorous way.”

iProspect Netherlands is the first of many planned global brand expansions into the European and Asia Pacific marketplaces. Leveraging the knowledge, expertise, and ethical standards resident at iProspect in the U.S., the Netherlands’ search engine marketing firm was able to ramp-up with impressive speed and land major brand advertisers by leveraging the trusted iProspect name.

"We chose iProspect as part of our overall online media,” noted S. Schroeders, Distribution Manager at ING Card. Schroeders continued, ‘”Their specialized knowledge and dedication to http://www.iprospect.com/whychoose/search-engine-marketing-ethics.htm [search engine marketing ethics] made us choose them."

According to J.P. Duurland, Head of Marketing Communications at DHL, “iProspect Netherlands significantly positions DHL as a market leader in this rapidly growing online media channel.”

Acquired by Isobar Communications at the end of 2004, iProspect is respected worldwide for the quality of their tools, process, and people, and is considered a key component in its parent’s strategy to develop a global digital network.

“These are exciting times here at iProspect,” said Fredrick Marckini, the firm’s founder and CEO. “As the iProspect brand is launched in international markets, the opportunities for our clients to leverage true, in-country search marketing expertise is something we know will produce powerful results. By offering a true, in-country, search engine marketing network, the possibilities for leveraging best practices and the power of search internationally are significant.”

“Search engine marketing as a whole is barely scratching the surface of what’s possible in the United States alone,” said David Verklin, CEO of Carat North America and of Aegis Group’s Asia-Pacific division. “More and more, search engine marketing is a game that is played without borders to reach audiences all over the world. Through our planned expansion of the iProspect brand into Europe and Asia, we are building the next generation of search marketing capability. It’s not enough to be found by searchers within the borders of the U.S. We want to help our clients reach searchers from Holland, to France, Japan, South America and beyond. As more and more citizens of the world go online, they continue to rely on search to identify products and solutions, and it will take a truly global search engine marketing firm with ‘boots on the ground’ in each country to connect these searching audiences with brands. We’re excited about iProspect Netherlands’ early success in pursuit of that vision.”

Branding, of course, won't work for everyone...

 

Internet Marketing and Advertising Strategies - Circumventing the Chase for Google Rankings

LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) November 6, 2005 -- In a recent article published by OneUpWeb® of the Fortune 100's websites only 13 have “properly optimized” their websites for natural Google placement. Of the remainder, 42 have only done a partial job, while 45 have done little or nothing. Why aren’t the ‘big boys’ participating in the game? “The answer,” says Ron Scott, an Internet publicist, “is really quite simple - they don’t see the need.

“The ’big boys’ have wisely chosen to focus their marketing efforts on branding and brand recognition,” Scott says, “and the logic behind the strategy is certainly understandable when you think about it. You don’t need to “compete” if you can induce consumers and B2B prospects to conduct their searches using your brand name(s) instead of generic keyword phrases.”

Scott points to Microsoft as a perfect example. “Overture reports over 100 different keyword phrases that currently include the company’s name and they generated over 2,500,000 inquiries last month,” he says. “Yet, when one enters the keyword phrases ‘word processing software’, ‘operating systems’, and ‘software’ and Microsoft’s site is no where to be found.

Googling a brand name instead of a generic keyword phrase, the consumer will, if the company has taken steps to even nominally optimize its site for that brand name, see its site as well as the websites of its dealers, distributors and affiliates sitting pretty on the first page of search results. If trademarked, no one outside “the family” can use that brand name without violating the company’s exclusive right to use it so the only results to be found are going to be directly related to that company and its products/services.

Frustrated by the unpredictability of search engine algorithms, Scott decided a few months ago to trademark a brand name he could use to promote his services as an Internet publicist. “Admittedly, I winced when a colleague suggested ‘The PR Guru Guy’ - I’m sure it gives most a sense that I am full of myself - but it didn’t take long for me to realize that it was ideal - it’s a brand that is directly related to my profession and easy to remember,” he says.

“Now, if any B2B prospects recall the brand name and enter ‘the pr guru guy’, ‘pr guru guy’, or ‘prguruguy’, they’ll find my site (Fasttrackrankingandplacement.com) occupying the top position on MSN as well as all Google driven search engines - Google, AOL Search, Alexa, Netscape, Information, A9, Amazon, Att.net, Compuserve, and Earthlink,” he says.

Scott, of course, had to optimize the company website for the keyword phrase and its variations, but the process only took four days from start to finish - finish meaning that’s the length of time it took Google to cache and index the changes.

Once the branding concept is understood, business owners need to think about how they’re going to develop brand awareness, ultimately getting B2C and B2B prospects to call to mind their brand when they are in need of a particular product and/or service. Obviously, it’s not enough to just select a clever name.

To succeed, prospective clients have to not only call to mind the brand, they have to correlate it to a particular need or desire because the real value of branding lies in the prospect’s perception that the product or service associated with the brand name is the ultimate solution to a particular problem. “Building brand awareness 100,000 or more prospects at a time, this is where an Internet public relations program can be of immense value,” Scott says.

Branding, of course, won’t work for everyone but those in highly competitive industries or who have a unique product or service, might well consider branding as a viable alternative to traditional website optimization and the hit-and-miss marketing strategies they’re been using to date.

“For those who have a unique product or service that consumers and B2B prospects are unfamiliar with, it’s a strategy that shouldn’t be dismissed,” Scott says.

For business owners wanting to know more about the comparative value of branding, traditional website optimization, and pay-per-click advertising, the “PR Guru Guy” offers a free, one-hour introductory webinar. To learn more, visit www.fasttrackrankingandplacement.com.

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

(NARWEB) November 3, 2005 -- Minneapolis - At his job today, Wally Nordfish was taken ill in a most violent and uncontrolled way when a co-worker showed him a press release just issued by the owners of another million pixel ad page web site, designed to take advantage of the current hype around such sites.

 

The spewing incident lasted only a few minutes, but co-worker Gene Sheffeid said, "Man, I know he hates those sites, but I just thought I would tease him a little more. I've seen the Exorcist, but I always thought that was just special effects. The worst part for me, now that I know he's going to be ok, is that he was seated at my desk at the time."

 

When the spasms caused Mr. Nordfish to lose consciousness, he was taken to a nearby hospital and released a few hours later. When reached by phone for comment, he said, "I'm really embarrassed and I have no idea why that happened. This is the first time. I just started reading what Gene showed me and my stomach started spinning like a turbine. It was like a nightmare!".

 

Mr. Nordfish continued, "Those stupid pixel sites are such a rip-off! They are nothing better that graphic link farms with no text content, no Google PageRank, and no real value for the money they are charging people. The damn things have no content, ok?!!?". It was suggested that there was enough material for the story and that Mr. Nordfish should get some rest and end the call.

 

The company that employs both men declined to comment but issued a short statement: "We regret this incident and have amended our employee handbook to include rules about the distribution of objectionable materials at the office, or using company equipment. It's a shame that this had to happen, but everyone at the company is very aware these pixel sites, the problems they can cause, and we do not foresee something like this ever happening again.". No disciplinary measures were mentioned, but there was speculation that Mr. Sheffeid would be required to clean up the work area.

MillionDollarHomepage Hacker Attack Clones Get Slapped

(PRWEB) October 31, 2005 -- Hackers have started their onslaught on MilliondollarHomepage type sites. They have found a vulnerability in the script that allows them to post their banner over the advertisers logos. But the advertiser still gets the click thru. These attacks are easily undone and everything returns to normal without the site closing. They are simply just ugly but not malicious. Most sites that were hacked were back to normal in minutes.

Says Peter the Hack ( one of the guilty ) , about the hacks " We can do no lasting damage , just place our oversized "banner" on a free spot , so that it over shadows the real pixels. but the real pixels get the clickthru , you just see our banner. We only do it for fun , not malice. the game is to see who can hack the big one ! "

New Toplist generates amazing traffic for Pixel sites

Friday, 28. October 2005
The Free Million Pixels Toplist ( http://www.freemillionpixels.com/topsites/ ) has generated huge amouts of traffic to the sites that signed up for the free service. The pixel sites , scripts , other lists etc are ll noticing a surge in their stats. this is due partly to the fact that the toplist is receiving thousands of hits daily which in turn leads to free visitors to the sites that came on board.

Sites that didnt join are feeling the pinch as they get left well and truly behind in the "Pixel War" . ( To pun another great pixel directory ).     It seems that sites that joined the Webring have benefitted the most. To join the Webring the sites must display a piece of code that allows for easy navigation thru all the member sites. Thus people can surf pixel sites , almost automatically.

The Toplist is a totally free service , being funded only by the odd advert , mainly those from http://ffq.com ( a pixel banner site ) and http://free-banners.biz ( one of the larger Banner Exchange Networks ) .

Most of the traffic to the Toplist comes from the search engines as it is well placed in its appropriate keywords ( First in many ). It has tured out to be a easy way for pixel related sites to get a backdoor onto the no.1 spot , or at least their site featuring for free on the site that is at number one ( and often 2 & 3 aswell )


Milliondollarhomepage clone steals the Limelight

Friday, 28. October 2005
http://FreeMillionPixels.com , a clone of Kevin Tew `s original Milliondollarhomepage has stole the thunder behind the original. The ads are free on FreeMillionPixels.com thus generating hugh numbers of visitors, free-ads are getting clicked , everyone wins.

Media coverage of this new site has been as heated as that of the original. Some predicting that it will overtake the original in a few short days. The reason for this is not onlt the free element , but content . And as they say "Content is King". this has been achieved by continuslly adding to the site. ie a toplist of all the other pixel sites , ie http://freemillionpixels.com/topsites/ . this top list is an archive of all the other pixel sites with a ranking system. Forums et al , are in the pipeline.

For more information on http://freemillionpixels.com and other pixel sites , visit the toplist here http://freemillionpixels.com/topsites/

They also try to make you think that the Secure Service Pack is something important like Macromedia Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Quicktime Player and they mention those products on their site and on the phone if you call them.

 

Don't be suckered in and tell everyone you know that it's a another scam to use you to generate advertising revenue for them. What do you get? Nothing, or maybe some software you could get elsewhere without the spy ware/adware.
