Trapping
.Sounds serious and it is! Page
Jacking and Mouse Trapping have been around for awhile but
the culprits are becoming more savvy. The people that use
these techniques are called scammers, they use the meta tags
(tags that are hidden in an html page for search engine
indexing) of legitimate sites and create digital copies of
the site and submit the new site to several search engines.
When someone does a legitimate search and chooses one of the
scammer sites they are redirected to the site of the
scammers choosing. Often used by Pornography sites to
increase click through rates or visitors so they can hike
advertising rates, this technique is becoming popular with
fringe sites such as warez, illegal music download and video
sites. Mouse
Trapping is what happens when you arrive at the scammer
site. Often the back button brings you right back to the
home page of the site generating another visitor count. Your
close, back and forward buttons may be ineffective in trying
to close or navigate away from the site. This
hurts legitimate sites as potential customers are drawn away
by scammers. It may also cause customers to stop looking for
a legitimate site. If
you are ever mouse trapped go to "Tools" -
"Internet Options" - "Advanced" in your
browser and turn off Java scripting. this may free you from
the trap. You may
also try reporting the scammer site to their hosting
company, many Internet Service Providers frown on malicious
redirects.

Premiums How
many magnets, calendars, or promotions are on your refrigerator?
How many of them have a business name or organization listed
on them. How about your key chain, the last pen you used, or
that cute little flash light. Premiums are given everyday by
literally thousands of business's. Premiums are used because
they work. They get your business name out in front of a
prospective customer. I still have a
comb that was given to me 5 or more years ago by the nice lady
that cuts my hair. It has the name of her business embossed on
the side of the comb. I keep the comb in my glove box and it
comes in handy on windy days. I appreciated her thoughtfulness,
and still appreciate it each time I use the comb. I
know I have to continue to get my hair cut regularly, and not
all business ventures have nature on their side when it comes
to repeat sales. But every business has a need to be
recognized. We have to have our name out in front of our
customers. There are hundreds if not
thousands of affordable premiums available. Remember is
doesn't have to be expensive. Check out the link in hot links
for a company that offers several different kinds of premiums. Electronic
premiums work for your computer using clients (who isn't now
days). They reside on a customers desktop, displaying your
logo with links to your website and email. Just
don't forget to include your website address on your next
premium. |

An old farmer had owned a large farm for many years. He had a large
pond in the back forty, the pond was fixed for swimming when it was built.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep
end of the pond. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming
out until you leave!"
The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to
watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond, I only came to
feed my alligators."
Old age & treachery will triumph over youth & skill every time!
