The spammer is an attention seeker, so the spammer now gets his/her wish. Stephanie Linder has now earned a place in the Hall of Shame.

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened." 1 Peter 3:14

 Hi, I hope you are doing well.

Just checking in one last time. I don't want to keep bothering you, but I'm
not sure if you got a chance to read my previous email or it got lost in
the shuffle.

If you=E2=80=99re not interested in collaborating, or short on time right n=
ow =E2=80=94 no
worries, I won't contact you again.

All the best,
Jenny Silverstone

Hi, I hope you're the right person for this.

I'm Jenny with Mom Loves Best, a research-driven parenting blog that
reaches over 1 million moms each month.

Our readers often want to know about migraines and headaches during
pregnancy. Since you have written about similar topics before I figured you
might like to take a quick look at the in-depth article we put together. (r=
ead
here <https://momlovesbest.com/headaches-migraines-during-pregnancy>)

I'd love to know your feedback, and if you find our guide useful, perhaps
you would consider linking to it from somewhere on your blog? (Maybe this
post
<http://www.livingfithealthyandhappy.com/2013/03/migraines-with-flashing-li=
ghts-could-signal-a-heart-attack-study.html>
would
be a good fit?)

I'd also be happy to promote your site in return to our followers on social
media and get our graphic designer to create a beautiful pinnable image for
one of your posts to help share it on our Pinterest.

Thanks in advance,
Jenny Silverstone

As is typical of these spammers, "Jenny Silverstone" claimed to be following up on a previous email. I never responded to any of his/her spam messages, so what is there to follow up? There is an online database that collects information on the most persistent spammers on the internet, and it is very possible that this spammer is also found there.

Spammer "Jenny Silverstone" wants attention so badly that he/she has earned a place in the Hall of Shame!

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened." 1 Peter 3:14

Sheila Johnson Email Spammer

10/01/2019

I will not tolerate spammers sending fake messages to Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM). On Friday, September 27, 2019 a spammer going by the name of "Sheila Johnson" sent a link laden email to me that is using Google as its originating address. Since the spammer sent the email, I'm posting the raw message for everyone to see.

Spammer Celeine said that he/she was following up on an email that he/she had sent to me - as if I'd ever email a response to this spammer. The IP address is not even real. In fact, this spammer is in so much need of attention that it is already blacklisted online:

Convert Visitors Into Repeat Buyers

Convert Visitors Into Repeat Buyers

By: Josh Allen

I'm going to start this off with the most essential mindset; I believe this to be the number one business-saving, money-generating rule. I call this the SGT method.

SGT Method

Sgt. Common Sense wants YOU ... to Stop your Greedy Tactics! With your own personal gain in mind for business decisions you'll get nowhere but a deceiving sense of success. Here's a small example for you to consider ...

A business owner starts an online website hosting company. He spends $1000 USD/month in advertising to the general public through Google AdWords. His first month he gains 200 paid clients at $24.95 USD/month revenue. With these new clients, he's gaining $4990 a month in revenue, $3990 in pure profit! Amazing!

He continues with his business plan, but decides to upgrade a few of his services. His advisor tells him that he needs to put funding into support services for his clients; this will cost $500 a month and should support 1000 clients. Ignoring his advisor, he throws another $2000 into monthly advertising with Google.

Now here comes the part where you should pay attention ... The business owner is looking at short term when he should be looking long term.

Month Two:
Advertising Costs : $3000 USD
Tech Support Costs : $0 USD (NO SUPPORT)
Clients (end of month) : 750 (200 + 550 for new month)

Business Owner: "We're doing GREAT! LOOK at the GROWTH!"

What's he forgetting? COMMON SENSE! If you don't take care of your current clients, how could you possibly take care of future one's?

Month Three:
Advertising Costs : $6000 USD
Tech Support Costs : $0 USD (NO SUPPORT)
Clients (end of month) : 1000 (750 + 250 for new month)

Incoming clients are now down 300. Why? Because 300 of his current clients left due to lack of support. This does not account for his clients that signed up, couldn't transfer over and demanded refunds. This could also put a freeze on the business owner's merchant account, costing him even more money.

Lesson? Take care of the clients you DO have.

Here's why, and this may come as a shock to you but you may not have to pay another cent in advertising, ever again.

"Josh, what the heck are you talking about?" - Confused Reader

It's simple, word of mouth. Word of mouth is the most powerful, and most cost effective method of advertising that is on the planet Earth. What is a better way to advertise, you tell me:

1) You pay $1000 in Google AdWords and gain 200 clients.
2) You pay $0 and gain 100 clients

Good question, is it not? Hint: I would say 100 clients for $0 would take the cake out of those choices. 100 clients for free?!? Sign me up!

Now here's another question. What sounds better out of these two?

A web surfer looking for a website to visit that will assist him with home gardening goes to Google, and types in "home gardening". He looks at the links and has his attention caught by ... what ends up being hundreds of possible assisting sites. But have no fear! After all, we're sponsoring the keywords with Google AdWords, right?

Guess what ... the buyer most likely won't buy from a website that he/she has never heard of before. So he/she calls his friends asking if they have heard of your website with a do-it-yourself guide. He call's his friend John, who replies with,

"No, I haven't heard of that one ... but I know of a good guide that we used for our garden, it worked wonders. Jill said she would have bought two times over, and subscribed to their mailing list for future ideas and tips. Now they send us a new tip every week, it's great! The website address is www dot ... "

What just happened here happens daily to EDUCATED shoppers. These shoppers are the kinds of people you want to purchase from you / sign up for your information. They realize that if they get one good nugget of information from you or a great product, they can get more. This goes back to the term in the introduction, they become a repeat customer.

Here's the best part:

You don't pay more to get them back. Your advertising money went even FURTHER than one sale with this one!
Your .20 per click just generated $50, $100, $150 or even THOUSANDS in sales! This also doesn't count everyone that this one person talks to about your products.

Of course, there are a few drawbacks. You won't become an overnight millionaire with this method. It takes time for word of mouth to properly work. But when it does, boy is it a beauty!

Bottom line to create a FREE advertising empire ...

Treat your clients the best that you can. It's a NECESSITY!

Personally, I believe that two years worth of work that will create thousands a month in revenue is worth the time. Of course, if you're impatient, thousands in advertising costs work too...

The bottom line of the SGT method is that if you treat your clients well, it's the best advertising method you can get!

SGT Recap

When Used Properly, you have an advertising team that ...

+ Is Extremely Effective
+ Pays YOU to advertise YOUR products!
+ Will WANT to advertise YOUR products!
+ Spreads with VIRAL EFFECT when done right.
+ Does the work for you ... and you get paid for it.

Does that sound like something you want? A free advertising empire that wants to advertise for you, and pays you to do so. It certainly sounds like something I want for my products.

Now let's go over the methods to turn visitors into repeat clients. The first one I'm going to present to you is the ...

The Triple R Method

Ah, the Triple R Method. These can be the most effective method when utilized correctly. This helps turn your website from a information site into a money-generating machine.

Let's get to this Triple R method:

Readability
Reliability
Reusability

Common sense but most businesses do not employ this method to better their futures in the online market. If a business owner keeps these in mind when they create a business and the business's website/content, they will have a 75% better chance they're next business will be as successful or more successful at converting sales and keeping clients.

I'm going to put the Triple R method into plain English and explain each point. Hopefully you'll see the power in making you're contact points with these in mind.

Readability
Your website, cover letter, or point of contact needs to be easy to read. It needs to contain simple English as well as easy to understand sentences. In general, it needs to have a good, basic, understandable format. If a user that knows nothing about your service or product reads your advertisement (or 'pitch') page and has no clue what you're talking about, how will you get the sale?

All of the content that you present to your potential clients or subscribers needs to be put in the simplest English possible. Let me put it this way: have someone that knows NOTHING about the subject check it for readability, understandability and coherence. If someone that has no clue what you're selling can have a general understanding of the product by the time they reach the order page, you have succeeded.

Reliability
Reliability is key. Your information that you sell must be consistent. The methods you give must be logical and easy to follow over and over. If you're a service-based company, the services you offer must be able to compete with the industry standard. For example, I'll use website hosting.

If you're a website host and you offer hosting, one of the main selling points that usually seals the deal is the uptime guarantee. The industry standard is around 99.5% or 99.9% uptime guarantee. If you can offer this, you'll gain a lot more sales from mission-critical clients. Mission-critical means one main thing, more money that consistently flows from the source month after month into your pocket.

If you have the choice between starting with a reseller from your 12 year old neighbor that's in school every day (and handles support himself) and another host that does the job full time, choose the full time. Will it be more expensive? Most likely. Will it handle more of the hassle itself? Yes. Remember, if you put a little more money in return for better quality it will give you less hassle. The company could practically run itself, with the exception of support, of course.

Reliability can either make or break a company. Great reliability will put the word of mouth method into full swing, and will gain you a lot more clients than you're paying in advertising costs. You wouldn't complain about getting clients for free, would you? I didn't think so.

Reusability
Reusability is the number one key to any project that you do. Unless it's a membership site, and possibly even if it is, it needs to be able to be re-used. Think about it in the following example regarding niche markets:

You have identified a niche market you want to start a business in. You launch your eBook site and subscription service around the niche, and impact the market hard. Now it's come to keep adding content and maintain the site. But now you stumble across yet another niche, which looks even more untapped and amazingly profitable. What will you do?

a) Design another website for it, code a site, etc...
b) Jump right in, your first niche site is a template and reusable!
c) Be sorry about not templating, and spend hours doing option A, once again.

Think about it! You spend an extra hour or two on the first site making it reusable and able to be duplicated, in return for hours saved on each and every website you launch after it. Imagine that you launch hundreds or thousands of websites ... that's how many hours unless it's templated? See the point?

Reusability will not only save you time, but if you do it right from the start it will also guarantee your success. If you spend hours looking into Search Engine Optimization and making the site comply with the backbone rules of success, you only have to do it once! There's software out there right now called SEOElite.com that's helped thousands of people achieve success over the titans throughout Google. Here's an example of what SEOElite.com can do.

Think of everyone out there that searches for the term "work from home" in Google. How many sites do you believe there are containing or even focusing in on that term? According to the testimonial from a loyal customer of SEOElite.com there were 468,000,000 at the time of his using the software. He obtained the #1 spot in Google for "work from home". Think of how much Return for his Investment he got from that software. One time payment of $176 USD, to return a flood of FREE DAILY TRAFFIC to his site to earn him more money. Wouldn't you say that's worth the investment?

HVP - High Value Products

Your products MUST have a perceived value. If it doesn't FEEL like it's worth anything, it won't be purchased. Think about it. If you sell a guide to making thousands of dollars for $5, why would people buy it? "It's a quick buck Josh, come on!" NO. If it were a proven method he would want a heck of a lot more than $5 for the guide.

If I gave you the choice right now between a $5 ticket to your local high school football game and a $75 dollar sixth-row ticket to your local NFL team's game, which would you choose? The key behind this is perceived value.

Have you ever heard the classic talk between a husband and wife on TV where the wife buys something and her reasoning is "for $xxx.xx it has to be good!". It's like open source software. Most companies won't use open source software because they think it has a problem. "If they're not charging for it, there has to be a problem with it." See the reasoning behind perceived value?

Ok, here's the kicker. If you're sitting there right now going: "Josh, you gave me this guide for free. What's that say about it?" send me an e-mail and I'll explain why it's free. E-mail me at Josh-_-__at_-_-_HowToMakeMoneyWithA)dot(com and I'll gladly answer you as soon as I receive your e-mail.

Until next time,
Josh Allen

A Concise Guide to MICR and Associated Technologies

12/25/2018

A Concise Guide to MICR and Associated Technologies

By: Charles Katz

The Sort-A-Matic system included 100 metal or leather dividers numbered 00 through 99. Each check was placed in the corresponding divider by the first two numbers of the account. The sorting process was then repeated for the next two digits of the account number, and so on. When the process was complete, the checks were grouped by account number.

Under the Top Tab Key Sort system, small holes punched at the top of the checks indicated the digits. For instance, the first hole indicated the value of the first digits (0, 1, 2, 3...) A metal "key" was inserted through the holes to separate all of the checks with the same value in the first digit, and this step was repeated for each digit until all the checks were sorted.

Both of these systems worked, but they were time-consuming. With the advent of the computer and its movement from the laboratory into the business world, a sorting and matching task seemed ideal. Stanford University and Bank of America were the first to successfully use computers to sort and match checks. They developed what is now known as MICR.

The Development of the MICR Font
The MICR font was developed by Stanford University in conjunction with Bank of America and approved by the American Banking Association. The font is known as the E-13B font. E-13B has a total of 14 characters: ten specially designed numbers (0 through 9) and four special symbols (Transit, Amount, On-Us, and Dash).

The letter E indicates the fifth version considered. The letter B indicates the second revision of that version. The number 13 is derived from the 0.013-inch module construction used for stroke and character width. This means that all character widths, both horizontal and vertical, are in multiples of 0.013 inches ranging from 0.052 to 0.091. The significance of this will be explained more thoroughly later in this article.

MICR Readers
Three types of machines are used to read MICR characters. The two that read the characters magnetically are referred to as MICR readers. The third machine is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reader.

E-13B characters are printed with toner containing iron oxide, which is capable of being magnetized. MICR readers transport the checks containing the E-13B magnetic characters past a magnet, thereby magnetizing the iron oxide particles. The magnetized characters then pass under a magnetic read head. The magnetic field (flux pattern) caused by the magnetized characters generates a current in the read head. The strength and timing of this current allows the reader to decipher the characters.

Magnetic readers come in two types: single track (single gap or split scan) and multiple track (matrix or pattern) readers.

Single-Track Reader Characteristics
Single track uses a read head with one gap to detect the magnetic flux pattern generated by the MICR character. When a magnetized E-13B printed character moves across the narrow gap of the read head, the electric voltage caused by the magnetic flux from the character generates a waveform unique to each character.

Multi-Track Reader Characteristics
The multiple track reader employs a matrix of tiny, vertically aligned read heads to detect the presence of the magnetic flux pattern. The small individual read heads slice across the character to detect the presence of magnetic flux. This sensing of magnetic flux over time produces a unique matrix pattern for each character.

An OCR reader does not use magnetic properties to detect the E-13B characters. Instead, it uses a scanner to detect the amount of light reflected from the character and the amount of light reflected from the background. A photocell column detects the presence of the dark area of a character.

Waveform Theory
The readers move and read documents from right to left. The right-hand edge of the character, as a result, is the first to cross the read head. Analysis of the signal level created by reading the character 0 will help explain this in greater detail.

As the character moves from right to left under the read head, the gap detects the magnetism of the first right-hand edge (edge 1). This results in the increase in magnetism and a positive peak is created (peak 1). As soon as the right-hand edge moves beyond the read head gap, no new magnetism is found, and thus the wave form returns to the zero signal level.

At the second edge, the vertical read head detects a drop in magnetism, which results in a -110 signal level at peak 2. Again the waveform returns to zero until the next portion of the inner ring of the character is detected. At this point (peak 3), an increase in magnetism (+110) is indicated. Finally, the outer portion of the character is read, resulting in a negative peak (peak 4) of -130.

The placement of the vertical edges must occur in increments of 0.013 inches from the first right-hand edge. There are five characters that have two positive and two negative peaks similar to the character 0 and also appear in a positive-negative-positive-negative format. They are 0, 2, 4, 5, and the transit character, which are differentiated from one another by the horizontal location of the peaks in the waveforms. The peaks do require different amplitudes, but ANSI standards allow them to vary from 50% to 200% of the nominal amplitudes (Canadian standards allow them to vary from 80% to 200% of the nominal amplitudes). This is why the placement of the waveform is so important and why the characters are shaped unusually.

What Affects the Signal Level?
Signal level can vary based on a number of factors. The amount of iron oxide (concentration) that is present in the character will affect the signal level. This is a function not only of the toner itself, but also of how it is laid on the paper and the pile height, which can be controlled by numerous other cartridge components (i.e., "hot" OPCs).

The taller the vertical edge of the character, the taller the peak (either positive or negative). A vertical edge that is not regular and/or not vertical will result in a reduction in the amplitude of the peak and will flatten the peak out.

Keys to proper waveform detection are:

All peaks in a character's waveform must be detected. The reader sorter must know that the peak is there.
The peak must be located at or near its anticipated location.
No significant "extra" peaks can be present.
There cannot be wide variations in the signal levels of peaks within a character.

What to Look for in MICR Printers and Consumables
Printers that are used for MICR printing must have a unique MICR font that is modified to suit the unique printer engine, and it must be modified to the pixel level to match the magnetic toner provided for that printer. This is essential to ensure the correct waveform, dimension, and signal strength when a check is printed with the correct MICR characters. In addition, the MICR font must meet ABA-X9 standards to ensure acceptance of your checks by banking institutions.

The magnetic MICR toner that you choose must be specifically designed for the particular print engine in the printer. Ensure the toner has been thoroughly tested for consistent signal readings, image permanence and uniformity, and excellent edge acuity. Toner coverage must be solid with no extraneous toner lay down.

OEM cartridges are always a safe (but more expensive) bet. If you buy a "compatible" brand, ensure it has a new OPC drum, new primary charge rollers (PCRs), a new black velvet magnetic sleeve, and new image wiper blades. The hopper system must be filled with high-quality, low-abrasion MICR toner.

The vendor you choose should use the latest and most advance MICR test equipment, such as a Verifier and Golden Qualifier to conform to ANSI X9 Standards. It is also recommended that the systems exceed U.S. and Canadian check printing standards.

Fake Link Removal Requests

05/06/2013

The Desperate Lengths To Which Low Quality Sites Will Go Just To Get Noticed

Joseph

Folks who aren't involved in website operations probably have no clue about the shake up that followed the release of Penguin - an algorithm developed by Google to weed out low quality websites. While I'm no fan of Google, I do agree that people should avoid low quality, spammy websites.

Unfortunately, the low quality spammy websites, seeing their bread and butter slowly begin to slip away from them, immediately started looking for ways to survive. Afterall, made for ads (MFA) websites aren't earning what they once did - particularly if the spammy website can't rank well in the search engines.

The old methods of cheating don't work so well anymore. Because the search engine bots are getting better at spotting scraped i.e. stolen and even autogenerated content, sites that crank out a lot of this sort of material fall further and further in the rankings. When that happens, people are less apt to see the website and click on its link.

This, of course, leads to less visibility and less money for the spammy webmaster (it's always about money in the end). So the spammy website owner becomes desperate and seeks help from a black hat search engine operator (SEO). As the adjective implies, these bad guys are always unscupulous and below board; they will promise their spammy website clients top rankings. And how do they do it?

Well, since the Penguin update, a lot of websites have been worried about Google penalties (algorithmic and manual). Fearing a drop in rankings, some of them send link removal requests to websites that have linked to their content.

Even though the world wide web thrives on links, some webmasters would prefer to cut ties with websites that they believe might be costing them traffic.

While I don't agree with this method, I can understand it. Unfortunately, if the worried webmasters cut off too many websites (in particular the authoritative sites with good PageRank), they could wind up harming themselves in the long run.

One Method Black Hat SEOs Use in an Attempt to Boost Their Clients' Rankings

But the more sinister side of this is when black hat SEO operators take advantage of these often times unfounded worries and use them to send fake link removal requests to the competitors of their spammy clients.

One way black hat SEO operators (also known as negative SEO operators) do this is to troll the links pages of their clients' competitors.

They collect a list of websites, create a fake email address (often from gmail or even one that closely resembles the domain name of their competitor) and will send out false emails to their clients' competitors. In these fake emails, the black hat SEO operators will contact their competitors' link partners (while pretending to be the competitor) saying they want the backlink removed.

Why would negative SEO operators do this? Simple: they hope that the link partner will take them at face value and remove the backlink, thereby lowering the ranking of their clients' competitors.

Since the release of Panda and Penguin, I've received a large volume of link requests and guest post requests from other websites (even though I explicitly state that I am no longer exchanging links with other websites).

On the surface the requests appear genuine, but the fact is these requests come largely from gmail accounts as opposed to a business email address. Moreover, they send these requests even though my policy on exchanging links and accepting guest posts are prominently displayed for all to see.

So, the requests are not genuine, they are sent for selfish gain.

Here's another sign of their desperation: I've also received emails that have been created using the domain of this website i.e. after the "@" symbol the email contains "livingfithealthyandhappy". The black hat SEO operators are so desperate to spam me (or too dumb to know better) that they contact me using a domain that I know is fake!

(Just the other day, another desperately frustrated black hatter contacted me - using a gmail account no less - asking for permission to do a "Web Needs Analysis". In addition to the email account being a tip off, the black hatter's last "name" was Diamond and his first "name" was identical to one of the largest jewelers in the nation. Finally, since he tacked the url of the SEO company that he claimed to work for at the bottom of the email, why did he use a gmail account instead of the one for his company?)

Sadly, folks, the bad guys will always be with us. There will always be people who would rather cheat than put in an honest day's work. We find them in all walks of life. Although the business world is competitive (and online business even more so since it involves millions of websites across the globe), low quality sites don't have what it takes and never will.

Ultimately it's about evolution. The world wide web is gradually changing (some changes are good, others are bad) and as with natural selection, those who can adapt will survive.

It takes hard work, love, determination, initiative, and drive to be successful in life. Since the spammy websites can only rely on cheating and cranking out trash in a desperate attempt to get even the smallest bit of attention, they'll continue to fall behind.

Google and Bing have given webmasters a way to deal with unwanted links; webmasters who have a Google account can make use of the disavow tool offered by Google Webmaster Tools (WMT), and Bing has a similar tool available to webmasters.

In other words, legitimate webmasters wouldn't need to send a link removal request since they can simply remove unwanted links themselves.

The black hat SEOs and their clients also seem to ignore the fact that search engine bots are getting much much better at detecting their dirty tricks and that cheating will get the black hatters and their spammy clients permanently banned from the search engines. Black hat SEOs and their clients obviously can't think that far ahead, which is why, in the end, they will fade out and cease to exist.

So to all the quality webmasters out there (big and small), make sure to fully vet the website that is asking you to remove a link.

I read a good piece of advice about this phenomenon: make sure that the domains match and check to see if your link is still there. (I would add that you should also make sure that includes everything before the "@" symbol, too.)

In the same vein, if someone asks to link to you, and you have a policy in place regarding link exchanges, stick to it because that's good business practice - only bad business people waffle on their policies (a sure indication of an unconfident businessman or businesswoman).

Stick to doing the right thing: providing quality content to your readers. In this way not only will you survive, you will also thrive. :)

And to all the black hat SEO operators out there: I've got no respect for liars and thieves, if you make the mistake of trolling around my website I will expose you.

Jumping Through Google's Hoops Isn't Going To Get You Traffic

11/26/2012

Joseph

Disclaimer: This is an opinion piece only. Please don't rely on the information posted here when making decisions regarding whether or not you do business with any particular company.

Panda. Penguin. EMD. Freshness. These are but four of an ever increasing list of algorithms released by Google the search engine company that releases at least five hundred algorithms every year. Five hundred algorithms per year at a minimum. That's a staggering amount. Who can possibly keep up with all of them?

Google has been indexing the internet since the closing days of the 20^th century, their stated purpose was to "organize the world's information" in order to make it "universally accessible and useful". At first glance that reads like a very lofty and noble objective. But stop and ask yourself this simple question: "Useful to whom?" To the user? To the site owner? To Google?

Before I begin, I should warn you that this topic is very sensitive. Many information consumers are unaware of how the internet operates, the processes whereby webmasters create and post content to the World Wide Web. Because of the complexities of doing business on the internet, many entrepreneurs are wary of discussing Google's influence over the World Wide Web. But as an online media publisher and internet consumer, I feel it is important to talk about where Google's over reach may take the Internet.

You see, long before the invention of social media, the World Wide Web relied on communication between computers, the majority of that communication being aided by links. In the traditional sense, websites obtained links through link exchanges, directory listings (both paid and free) and guest posting.

In the mid 1990s, it was easy to locate a particular website because there were few of them around. But today six hundred and thirteen million websites exist on the internet. Six hundred and thirteen million. That's a lot of websites. And with thousands of websites coming online everyday, it's becoming harder to get noticed. So websites increasingly use traditional methods e.g. directories, link exchanges, etc. as well as social media and social networking to establish reliable internet connections.

The task of search engines such as Google is to index all of this information. For a while Google encouraged these traditional practices and websites flourished. But suddenly Google began changing their view on this. Over time, organic search results have gradually become blurred with listings that include Google's own products.

The upheaval in Google's organic search results suggest the company is gradually transitioning to a paid inclusion search engine. Moreover, it's becoming harder for lots of websites to get first page rankings. As a result many sites have experienced drops in traffic. To make up for it, some webmasters will resort to dirty tactics (black hat SEO and negative SEO) to deceive the search engines and readers into visiting their websites. But that's not the way to go. Why waste your time and money outsourcing to a third rate company that will only damage your business's reputation?

On the other hand, to simply dismiss another website's sudden decline in traffic as their fault i.e. that webmaster is doing something wrong is ludicrous. One famous example of a website that experienced declines in traffic is Foner Books who claims to have been negatively impacted by one of Google's algorithm updates.

Then there's DaniWeb, a very popular online IT website. That famous website has been online for many years and has created a large fan base but after the introduction of the Panda update, they reportedly experienced a drop in traffic . Of course the traffic decline could be attributed to a variety of causes. Nonetheless, in spite of following Google's suggestions for improving site quality, DaniWeb has been hit by Panda again and again.

DaniWeb's and Foner Books' experiences serve as reminders of what Google is: a company that will do what it wants to do in order to make money. You can't please Google and you shouldn't even want to.

Google indexes the internet to make money.

And with the steady stream of algorithms and refreshing of algorithms and tweaking of algorithms by the men and women of Google's webspam team, in efforts to fine tune the search engine to best suit Google's business goals, webmasters are jumping through a never ending series of hoops just to keep up.

Google's influence over the Internet has reached the point where some people are afraid to link to other websites for fear that it will bring down the weight of Google upon them. But think of what will happen to the internet if websites are afraid to link to one another. Information sharing - education itself - would suffer because websites would close themselves off from access by others.

Moreover, when you're working feverishly to please Google, to get back into "Google's good graces" it costs you time and money. Time and money that could be spent serving and pleasing your customers.

Many webmasters are spending much of their budget on Google advertising hoping to get traffic by having their company's ad displayed on different websites or next to results displayed in Google's search engine. But Google Adwords isn't cheap and often times people don't see an immediate or reliable ROI. Put another way, it becomes quite costly to many business owners when they buy Google ads in the hopes that it will bring customers to their businesses.

And all the while Google is readying another algorithm which will affect anywhere from less than a tenth of a percent of searches (which out of billions of searches per day still affects millions of websites) to drastic and sweeping algorithms that hit websites across the board (including Today.com and other websites both large and small) while Google's own products benefit.

When a search engine company's own products are constantly featured at the top of the results - as well as allegedly using loopholes to bypass privacy settings in a popular web browser to track users' surfing behavior - is that really promoting fair competition and providing web surfers with the best and most comprehensive information available?

Webmasters in particular should consider this possibility: With all of the algorithms, sooner or later, every website is going to do something wrong in the "eyes" of Google. You may be safe today but what guarantees do you have that at some point, your site will not be affected?

As a business owner, can you really afford to take the chance that Google, a monolithic mega corp which some may deem "too big to fail" won't roll across your website and your business? You've worked hard to start your own business. Why should you allow Google to dictate how you should run it?

Google is just a company they're not the law, therefore we are not beholden to them.

So, solutions to getting out from under Google involves diversifying your link strategy. Use the traditional linking methods, other search engines and social networking. While you're at it, don't forget about paid advertising.

Online advertising is worth billions of dollars. Why spend all of your advertising budget on Google? Use various ad networks to get your site in front of the masses. To be sure, use yahoo, Bing and Facebook, but don't overlook smaller companies.

Before you invest in paid advertising there are a few things you should do:

Check out the company's reputation. Make sure they follow good business practices including the use of no follow links.
Make sure that their rates are reasonable and fair.
Advertise on websites that will reach your intended audience. This way your money will be well spent.

To be fair, Google does have its uses, but as internet consumers, we should remember there are many alternatives to Google that are worth considering.

Remember, Google relies on websites to generate revenue meaning that Google will do things for its own benefit. Likewise, you must do what you must do to maintain a high quality website and that means not jumping through hoops to please a search engine at the expense of your readers.

The Hall Of Shame

12/20/2011

healthy_blogging

This website was created to promote health and wellness. This is done to glorify the Father and the Son. This site belongs to God to do with as He sees fit. This site will promote the word of God.

In other words, I am only a messenger. Whomever seeks to attack Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM), through impersonation, theft or any other malicious act, know that you are not attacking me, you are attacking God. For though whatever happens to this site happens, the word of God will go forth to all the peoples of the world.

Operating content media websites is not an easy profession - just ask anyone in the business. It requires long hours devoted to topic research and content creation. By the time you see the finished product, a good writer has spent several hours preparing, drafting, editing, re-editing and finally publishing the article.

This work requires a considerable amount of patience, devotion and love for the job. Some writers create this content as a hobby, others operate for - profit websites. For profit websites monetize through a variety of means including PPC ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, sponsored advertising, product launches, etc.

Because internet businesses can yield a profit, some people have decided to take an easy and dishonest route to money making: content theft for posting on made for ad (MFA) websites. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines plagiarism as the following: "to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source".

Those aren't the only bad apples on the internet, some people enjoy creating malware and spyware to infect unsuspecting computers.

As publisher and administrator of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM) it is my responsibility to produce and publish content which is most useful to you and your family. I publish articles under the pen name "healthy_blogging" and post articles from article directories (isnare dot com, articlesbase dot com, ezinearticles dot com) and guest post submissions. The articles that you read have been carefully reviewed and vetted for accuracy and honesty.

In order to spread the word about Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM), I also submit abbreviated versions of some of my articles to article directories such as GoArticles dot com, Ezinearticles dot com, buzzle dot com, etc.

I have also noticed that dishonest parties have scraped my content for use on their own websites. I've also been contacted by spammers/scammers who wish to install bad code on the pages of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM).

When someone operates in the dark, the deception must be brought into the light. Therefore, I've created the "Hall of Shame". This list will include the names of individuals who have scraped my content or contacted me for spam/scamming intentions against Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM).

Hall of Shame

Josh Trent - on 29 July 2009 without permission he posted my article "Why Do Some People Give Up Before They Even Begin?" on a wordpress powered blog which he operates. Josh Trent did not provide a back link to Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM) nor did he give any noticeable credit on his website that I am the author of the content appearing on a specific page of his website.
Carolyn Pinker - on 20 December 2011 an individual identifying herself as Carolyn Pinker contacted me to install advertising code on this website. The individual is located in the Ukraine and has been frequenting certain articles on the website then contacted me to install ad code on an unspecified "old article" on this website. When I asked the individual to provide information about the ad code such as linking information and content, as well as her Google+ profile, Twitter handle, and other verifiable information, she could not provide any information that would confirm and validate her identity as a legitimate business contact.
Saurabh Katial - on 7 November 2012 an individual identified as Saurabh Katial posted a spam link on the Facebook fan page of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM). Saurabh Katial's social networking page says that he is from Chandigargh, India.

Spammers are not welcome on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM) nor on our fan page.
Google Sniper user - on 22 May 2013, a black hat SEO operating out of Belgrade, Serbia with ISP Interaktivne Kablovske Objedinjene Mreze - I.kom D used a Google Sniper program to troll 20 pages of Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM). Google Sniper is a program designed to make tons of cash for the user, but reviews (here and here) indicate that it uses black hat tactics (read here and here) that can actually get thesite into trouble with search engines.
Rohan Kumar - on 21 January 2015 an individual identifying himself as Rohan Kumar contacted me via a gmail address claiming that he wanted to write paid articles that include backlinks to his site. But when I asked him for specifics i.e. the url of his website, the content of his articles, if he was an SEO agent and how he learned about Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM)I received absolutely no reply. The timing of Rohan Kumar's email coincides with an new increased volume of traffic from India where I've received a lot of spam messages from black hat SEO operators.
Evelyn Golston - On 9 Feb. 2015 an individual identifying herself as Evelyn Golston contacted me via a gmail address claiming that she had a team of writers and wanted to write guest posts for the website. She sent this email knowing well what the policy is regarding companies seeking to get free advertising on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM). The timing of Evelyn Golston's email comes directly following a visit from the Ukraine which landed on our Guest Writer Submission Guidelines page. After responding to Evelyn Goltson's email wherein I asked her if she was truly serious about submitting content to the website and informing her that we frown upon black hat SEO operators and add them to the Hall of Shame, Evelyn Golston did not reply. This leads me to conclude that Evelyn Golston was attempting to get me to change or ignore this website's policy barring companies from posting articles on Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM) using black hat tactics.
Jason - On Feb. 19, 2015 and individual going solely by the name of Jason contacted me via a gmail address claiming that he wanted to submit articles to the site yet he did this even though we have a policy in place regarding guest posts from other webmasters.

When I asked the individual how he/she found my email address, the individual admitted that he/she had read our Place and Ad. Yet in that email as well as the first, the individual going by the name of Vee Cecil was only interested in guest posting for a back link not for advertising. Vee Cecil knew these things and still selfishly submitted the guest post with attachments, thus Vee Cecil has earned a place in the Hall of Shame.

When I asked Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani if he had read the requirements, Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani contacted me on Monday February 1, 2016 saying that he did not read that writers are required to be Christian - which is the very first thing that is mentioned in the Guest Writer Submission Guidelines. Furthermore, Dr Mehjabin Ahmed Prodhani said that he read points 1 - 11 and yet still did not know that writers must submit articles that promote the Christian bible.

The spammy email messages coincide with a smarmy blackhat SEO company in Bangladesh trolling Living Fit, Healthy and Happy_(SM)on Tuesday August 16, 2016. Contacting Living Fit, Healthy and Happy(SM) to publish commercial article for free is in violation of our Guest Writer Submission Guidelines and earns Juliet Jules a place in the Hall of Shame.
