Hack.. most people will hate being hacked especially if you own big money on your account and you had loss so badly. Being hacked is also everybody concern. So how do we gonna prevent it?! This post will teach you several ways how not to get hacked

1. Do not Publish your email
Never ever showing your email to the public either you post in forum, Mail Group, message box, chat box, comment form and so much more, If you wants to tell your email, do it private, or you can post your email like this youremail [a] host.com, this will also prevent you from being spammed, because there are many spam bot machine out there that could detect and spamming your email.

2. Use Different Email
Having 2 different email from your payment processor (let say: Paypal) and your GPT (Get Paid To) program is the best way to prevent you from getting hacked.

3. Use different Password
If we just talking about using different email now we are talking about using different password. You'll have to make 2 different password that were using for

1. Your email
2. payment processor and
3. GPT program

If you have good memory then there is no problem, otherwise you could just type in notepad and put in safe place but please do NOT put in My Document. Also if possible, try to using different and unique filename that someone wont even bothered to open it e.g "My history" or whatsoever.

4. Be Smart
When you join something, you have to make sure if its a Scam site or not, for PTC (Paid-to-Click) site you can see them Here else just use your brain, if there is any site that offering you to make money with fast then do explore on Google!.

If you feel doubt about the site you're joined, then use different password from the trusted one and different email from your payment processor

5. Do Not use Common Password
Common password means something related to your life, it could be your Birthday, your parent name, Your first 3 digit telephone number - Everything that could be included in User profile. Use a combination of special character, letter and number is the best way of creating good password!

6. Do Not Join Warez/Hacking/Porn Site
If you really insist to join, then use different password and email from your main email (the one you used often) and payment processor

7. Never telling your password
Do not ever you telling your password even to your friend whatever he is. Any unwanted condition could happened, if you have an affair with your friend, then he could do something really bad on you.

8. Never Open Unknown Email
If you don know anything about what you just received or never recall that you have been involved in that site, then don bother to open or even clicking it. Some phishing attempt can come from anywhere that claimed themself from Yahoo, Paypal, e-gold and Alertpay. If you must click the URL to find out, then please read also the URL address bar, if its lead to somewhere else instead www.yahoo.com then its very obvious its a phishing attempt

And thats all from me, if you want to add your experience here from not being hacked, then please do so to help other protecting their account

Just now when i visiting ShoeMoney site i found quite interesting news that Text-Link ads which we all know is one of the biggest Text Link Advertiser site ever has launched Inlinks, their sister site or should i say its Text Link ads ver 2.0

What is new and the benefit? (Credit to ShoeMoney for explaining this brand new site)
As Advertiser: Sites that has pickup links to their product can specify keywords and anchor text they are looking for.

As blogger: As soon as they get a new advertiser, they will get alerted and have Editorial Control so they can decide whether to place the link or not.


I found out it is so hard for blogger to get approved either by this site or Text-Link ads, Don know why but maybe their policies are just too strict. Also your site must have to meet with their TOS, meaning there is some requirement you have to meet before you can using their services. But if you are Wordpress user, i'm sure you'll get approved IF most of your article are 100% pure made handwriting by yourself.

As you all already know, the only way to monetize your site/blog is by placing an adsense, nowadays there are many adsense program namely AdBrite and Bidvertiser for example. But what i would like to tell you is the tips how to put your adsense correctly, there are 10 adsense tips in total, so here they are:


#1: Find your keywords
Before serving ads on a web page, check its keyword density. A free and advanced tool for finding the most prominent keywords in a page can be found here: SEO Density Analyzer. Copy the most important keywords to a text file ([web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt).


#2: Improve your keywords
Get keyword suggestions from Overture Search Inventory and from Google AdWords Sandbox. Get new keywords that can help you improve your ad relevance. Enter the keywords from [web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt and save the suggestions to [web page name]-adsense-suggestions.txt.


#3: Keep your website focused on a theme
Use the keyword suggestions to enhance your web pages and to build theme-based content. And also try to get your keywords into the anchor text of your incoming links as much as possible. Don't forget that Google AdSense is keyword-targeted advertising: Google AdSense bases its advert topics on your websites content, this means that content-rich websites of a popular topic should attract a large amount of ads.

#4: Write a new page every day
One of the best tips is to add a new page to your web site every day. The more content you have, the more visitors you will get. Put an Adsense unit on each and every content page of your site. But where? You will find more about that from the next AdSense tips.


#5: Choose the right AdSense format
Wider formats are successful because the ads are compact, easy to read and are complementary to the content. The top three AdSense formats are:
336x280 large rectangle
300x250 medium rectangle
160x600 wide skyscraper

Another successful format is the 468x15 horizontal ad links, that can be placed under your navigation bar.


#6: Color tips
When creating your Google AdSense ads it is recommended to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background color.

Create a custom AdSense palette:
border color = background color of your web site
background color = background color of your web site
link color = blue, color of your links
url color = black, #999999
text color = black, #333333, color of your main content
You can also rotate your color palette: select multiple color palettes that blend with your site to create variety.


#7: Position tips
Visitors tend to look at the big headlines to see if your page is worth reading. If you get them interested, they will read the text and look for your navigation links.

Place the AdSense ads in a prominent place around the top/left part of your page or under your headlines, where your visitors are most likely to look at.

If you have an article page with a long body of text, the bottom of that article is a good place for AdSense ads because your visitors read the text and then they want more resources.


#8: Increase the number of ads, but not too much
If you have a lot of text on a page, use multiple AdSense units. You can use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes and one unit of ad links.

Link units allow the user to refine what they're interested in. So if they may not be interested in specific ads on your page, they might be interested in a particular topic, and by clicking on a link unit and a link in the link unit, they'll be able to specify that they're interested in that specific topic and get a lot more options and variety on the ads that might appear.

AdSense for Search allows visitors to search Google.com or your sites (up to 3 domains). You earn money whenever they click on the ads that come up on the search results. If you click the Open search results in a new browser window checkbox in the AdSense for Search settings, you won't lose your visitors.


#9: Preview Google ads
You can find out what ads will be served by Google AdSense if you install Google AdSense Preview Tool, a very simple tool available only for Internet Explorer 6.0. Click to advertiser sites without generating invalid clicks, and easily add their URLs to your URL filter list. Because AdSense uses geo-targeting, Google serves different ads for other countries. Instead of faking your IP or travelling abroad to test your ads, use this AdSense tool to see what ads see your visitors from France, Germany or other countries.

There may be no Google AdSense ads available for your webpage, so Googlw will display Public Service Ads. You can hide them using alternate colors or images. Make sure you include the image in a simple html file as a link (use target="_top"). The image size should be the same as the dimension of AdSense units. In the alternate url box, enter the absolute url of the html file.

Read more about alternate ads.

#10: What not to do
Don't click on your own ads
Don't ask others to click on your Google ads
Don't manually change AdSense code
Don't place Google ads on sites that include prohibited content (e.g.: adult sites)
Don't employ cloaking, hidden text or farm links
Don't use AdSense ads on the same page with similar ads (e.g.: Yahoo Publisher Network)


I found out that all these tips have been shared in many forum/site, so i'm gonna give you a little of my resource

When i was browsing through forum, i found this nice article that lead me to this page, it will tell you how to increase more earning from your Adsense, basically you just playing with your content then you choose which category would you like to put the ads on, you can do this on blog too.

There are 3 method i would like to tell you, the first one i found from this page. the other one i found from forum but i'll share all in here, so here's the first method

1st Method

Q: What is Adsense Section targeting ?

A: this feature allows you to take a small area on your website in order to point relevancy to your adsense ads.

If you have huge amount of content based on different niche, and you want to show the ads which are relevant only to one section I’m sure that you have to try Section targeting.

We know that when you place your ads on your website (ex: Homepage), the ads would be rotated with relevancy to any of the informations/content on the page you placed in the ads, but if you are interested in showing ads which are just relevant to the first paragraph of your articles or just the content area you need to implement section targeting.

How to Implement Section Targeting ?

Look at the examples below:

[!–– google_ad_section_start ––>

Here all your website content

[!–– google_ad_section_end ––>

if you want all your website’s content to be under section targeting you can frame up:


[html>
[head>
[title>Title of your website
[/head>
[body>
[!–– google_ad_section_start ––>

Here is your website content

[!–– google_ad_section_end ––>
[/body>
[/html>

But make sure if you target a very small area of the content of the website, maybe you will not get paid for the ads IF there aren’t much advertisers for this niche as you can call the ads then a PSA (Public service ads).. So you have to be careful while you’re targeting your ads to any section of your website.

Maybe you would say that I better leave the ads rotated with relevancy to the whole content of the page so I can earn more, I’d like to tell you that when you use the section targeting you can show up many different ads niches in 1 page, so every visitor is interested in a niche so you can earn more clicks and you know it means more money


2nd Method
Another way you can choose is by placing Google Search on your site then when someone search something on your site, you'll earn from that. So if your visitor search with the keyword "Forex" you'll earn $0.08 per search, now you have the vision how to earn more from your adsense,


3rd Method

This trick allows you to increase your eCPM. As you all know, there is a "publisher id" that Google AdSense provides you. As some of you might have been experienced before, once you delete the publisher id, the ads will keep showed up on the site, but you will be published by them for no cost by Google's side.

And what i did is this, i removed the publisher id. The first 2-3 days, AdSense spider almost never left my site (the same site we're talking about here, before with publisher id, and after without publisher id). The following 9 days, the spider never came to the site though. But guess what this test taught me? After I removed my publisher id for 2-3 days, when I put my publisher code again my eCPM was as high as $1,2. I was getting $1,2 per click and the ads shown were high paying ones instead of those crappy ones.

As a result, once your earnings start to decrease, remove your publisher id for a few days, and put it back later again. Or you can just do this periodically to keep your eCPM high. You will earn more than you lose for sure!


My Thought on this
This trick have a lots of risk as google can find any suspicious activity and they have also restricting their rules to not accepting PTC (Paid-to-click) sites anymore and traffic exchange, so make sure you read their TOS before you try this last method. Good Luck!
