Read MoreStay safe On The Internet – Part 1 – Passwords
More and more people are loosing money and important online accounts when someone gets a hold of their password. In many cases this can be stopped or the damage, at the very least, minimised. So here is my crash course on how to avoid any problems with passwords.
1.
Use a difficult to guess password, dont use a name or nickname, these are very easy to guess and will be the first choice for any password hackers. Try to include a number (or more than one) within your password. whether it be at the start, middle or end. This in itself will just add a little more complexicity to the password. THe number does not necessarily have to be “1″, “1″ is very easy to guess.
Read MoreWhy Get Paid Blog Hosting ? – Part 2
I will continue with my previous post on the reasons to get and not to get paid hosting for your blog. Read bellow for the continuation.
Will my own domain gain me more users?
In many cases people just want to move becuase they believe their own domain will “make them better bloggers” or make “more visitors”. This can be true, i wont deny it, however it is not really guaranteed to happen like this.
Infact it can have the opposite effect. You may want to “make a return” on your investments on hosting that you will just post anything to make sure you have posts (I have done it myself).
A good domain name is memorable so people may return over and over. But content is just as important. People will search hard if they know the content is good so if your members are high already it may be a good move to go private.
Read MoreSupport Adgitize
2010 looked set to be another memorable year for Adgitize, so far not for the reasons Ken and the team had hoped for.
for those of you who dont know Adgitize recently suffered almost 4 days of continuous downtime and when the site finally came back online users got less than 24 hours of access before the site dropped offline for another day or so.
Every new creation suffers problems and this is just one of Adgitizes problems, a problem which is being overcome and will most likely never happen again. For a small sized company such as Adgitize it takes longer to solve issues which take large companies, such as Google, to fix.
These small issues should not be looked at as “issues” or “problems” of the program but more of a learning exercise for Adgitize, perhaps even for yourself as you may come across a similar issue in the future. These learning exercises help to improve Adgitize and make it a much stronger and secure system for the future.
