Who are the worst offenders?

Is this legit or spam?

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:44:02 +0000

I am a very active Facebook poster and treat it like a blog. I like to post interesting videos, news pieces, and other gems from the internet. But my privacy settings wouldn’t allow a random person to see my wall so I think this is fake. What do you think? Here’s a Facebook message I received.

"Hi Ashley

I think my hotmail has been hacked?

admin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:10:11 +0000

I’ve been getting an e-mail from this person who has the same name as me besides the last name is spelled wrong. It’s spam so I’ve just been deleting it.. I got another e-mail today and went to block them. I clicked to view their profile and saw that it was mine!!! I’m pretty sure I’ve been hacked or something. I only get on to check my e-mail so I really don’t pay attention to my profile until now. I’ve had this e-mail address for years and its connected to all my social-media pages and so forth so I really don’t want to delete it. What can I do?

Just change your password to a stronger password…include symbols and #’s in your password then you should be good.

Am I gay? Or, is this what all of you go through? Hard time dealing with the x factor.?

admin — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 03:46:04 +0000

I tend to think of men now, but when I was younger I messed with gals. Whenever I’d see a film with a woman, I’d get more excited seeing her act this way instead of seeing a guy with his shirt off, et’s say.. not sure if this is because the camera mostly focuses on women though, while men are there, but aren’t really the focus. Women are the givers and receivers…I usually get excited because I guess I can imagine what they must feel, and I wonder what it’s like to do those things. Not sure if it’s the whole bi media culture influence as well. I always missed having a maternal warm figure as well, as my mom never really hugged me. I don’t know. My relationship with my dad is off as well, as he’s a weak alcoholic, and I’ve never felt strength form him… So, growing up, I’ve also been attracted to older men, way older than my dad, those who seemed wise, and then at another extreme, I’d think of actually being with fat, sweaty men. I’ve grown up with strict notions, and have never been on a real date (in my 20s now). I never knew about sex, but as a little kid was exposed to porn because of some cousins. That really messed up my thinking patterns. I saw everything with a taint of sex in it. As a preteen I though sex was dirty, bad, and hated that my parents had so many kids after me. I thought people were animals if they did certain sexual acts because I felt they dehumanized women.Then, suddenly I became interested in all of those acts (in my 20s). I looked up how to do these acts, especially once I met a guy who was into that.. I got it. But, now i go to church and I believe it’s against the bible to perform sodomy (which equals anal and oral), right?.Anything that isn’t meant to breed children. When I was 18, I’d thought of being a prostitute somewhere… I know this sounds irrational.. Is this merely psychological or normal, or mental, or all of the above? As far as women, i get shy and uncomfortable around them at times.. Since I was in high school, I wondered if I creeped others out, and I’d test it out by putting out strange energy (i’m just barely trying to work out on being social which I think explains my awkwardness around others).. Am I a repressed lesbian? A repressed sexual being? I want to save myself for marriage, but at times i’d love to jump on any hot man. Because, although, before i thought only a woman would know what pleasure I’d need, all I want is a man’s __ in me. I get strong x energy when I have to go #2, or when I get depressed, like when something traumatic happens. Is this normal? Please help, no spam please, I am serious, and have been told before I needed medication. Perhaps I need more exercise to get rid of all this energy. The problem is, I tend to be depressed, and once i get to dance or yoga, I get huge amounts of energy, especially sexual energy, is this normal?
My question is whether you think I am gay, or am going through something psychological. How young were you when you knew you were attracted to the same sex? I wonder about this, because I’m not sure if what I feel is due to what happened with my cousins, because of what I was exposed to as a child, and because of the influence of the media, or if I am lesbian. A repressed one who goes through mental breakdowns because of it (and conflicting religious views). if it’s because of what I lacked as a child. Or, if I’m confusing sexual attraction for admiration (to not feel jealous over pretty girls, I’d tell myself they were hot). Or, I’d admire them, and the same goes for the smart fat men I’d meet. I’d admire my counselor, and fantasized about him, and about doing something to these fat men that no one wanted in society ( am I looking to do charity work in the wrong area? -i.e., thoughts of being a prostitute?)… Or, am I just twisted? Or, a normal sexually repressed woman?

You need to seek counseling. Your problems are like tangled strings. There is no making sense of this without INTENSIVE therapy. Just so you know, I’m majoring in psychology, and this is a serious issue. Do your best to seek help in your area. I wish you much luck!

Business Assignment Peer Editing help Part 1?

admin — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 03:35:13 +0000

Hello, I needed help with peer editing my answer for a question from my business course in university. there was an article we had to read about the downfall of myspace and summarize the issues in one paragraph( which im having trouble with to determine whether i wrote a clear and concise answers in one paragraph or if it was more) the question is attached with the article link and my answer below. Please help!

Link: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_27/b4235053917570.htm

[20 points] IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM: According to you, what is the problem described in this article. Clearly in one paragraph [50 words minimum] state the problem as you understand it.

The downfall of MySpace, over the Company’s course of operations over the many years, has been a number of issues that reflects the final image of what the company has become today. MySpace helped pop music artists build their music careers on the website and was the hub for everything music related. They had plans of having the most licenses in the world of music, and to have contracts with artists and record companies. They wanted to become the Mecca of music. Problems arisen over the last 7 years and MySpace was known for having issues with Customer Experience as well as Internal Management. On the customer experience level, the site has weaknesses in it’s spam filtration; a high volume of spam had negative impact to MySpace’s website quality directly correlated. Mail inboxes, engulfed with friend invites from spammers, illegitimate friends, and adult-rated sites, causing a nuisance to users resulting in MySpace’s drop in members and loss of culture in the recent years. MySpace held a reputation on the news for various child predator cases. The Company had switched to crisis management mode and the administrators have taken the initiative to collaborate with the law to put these people to justice; nevertheless, Myspace’s reputation was the concern of many parents. MySpace has been perceived publicly as a social networking site geared toward a teenage audience, and issues arising such as stalking. It lost it’s musicians and artists therefore losing the touch of what the site was meant to be. From the management side, it lacked innovation and developer interaction. It spent too much time focusing on the issues stated in the article and too little time designing the architecture of the website to be one that easy to interact with, one that developers could jump in and innovate the way other social media websites have done. Buyouts from News Corp and Fox Media Interactive have caused the company to go through administrative management conflicts with way the website was initially intended to be run by its cofounders, causing them to even resign their positions. Google’s Bailout has decreased the quality of the website drastically as the company suffered to meet the daily click requirements and advertisement revenue. The company did not run on pre planned investments as other social sites have done so. The Company faces challenges, they had to find ways to monetize the website, so they didn’t have the freedom to design their products and not worry about advertisement goals, which had to be met every quarter. To top it all off, the company, because of the way it was run, has suffered from cycling through new CEO’s and executives causing instability throughout the company. Generally, MySpace is a Company that envisioned too much and wanted it too fast.

I would say that the following problem is that MySpace dominates the society and people… A lot of people who use that site have freedom to put up any kind of contents [e.g. ad] while the administrative management is upset about it and try to stop that…

Think you can expand that a bit more by yourself? Refer to the first and last sentences since they offer the summary of what the problem is about.

Good luck!

How do you remove a codec virus?

admin — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:41:09 +0000

Every time I try to open the My Pictures folder or try to upload photos to any social media site (Like, Facebook) I get a pop up from Windows Compatibility Assistant that reads
"This program requires a missing Windows codec. Check for a solution on the Microsoft website. If a solution is available, there will be steps you can follow to fix the problem. Program: plugin container for Firefox"

When I click on the button that says "Download required components" it takes me to totalcodec.com which seems like a spam site.

What can I do? I have tried several anti-spyware and malware programs.

Thank you.

FireFox has changed alot of things in the newest 6 version….and I don’t like it….Java programs no longer are compatible….try using IE or another browser………….

PS: Windows codec’s are for hearing and being able to watch downloaded video’s on the Windows media player…check and see if your media player is working…if not ..you might have to download a replacement codec………….

What is the best social media to use for a kids camp?

admin — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 06:55:11 +0000

What would you suggest to be used for a kids camp. It needs to be easy to moderate, easy for people to join but at the same time admin should be able authorize actual camp members. Also there should be a way to censor cursing and spam. For example we’ve thought of a facebook page, a forum, or maybe a worpress. Something that is not complicating for members to use. Not sure what would be best. Please answer with your suggestions and idea. Thanks!

WikiSpaces is a site to check…not sure if it self censors, but I know I used it in a class I had in college. Hope this helps.

How to increase Google Page Rank?

admin — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:34:08 +0000

Well, before knowing the way to increase your page rank you should know, what’s page rank? Google says, Page Rank depends on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of a personal page’s worth. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google appearance at quite the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it conjointly analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes solid by pages that are themselves "important" weigh additional heavily and facilitate to form different pages "important".

This page rank plays an important role in serving to you to induce high position in Google results. we will increase the rank of their sites by increasing the quantity of high-quality sites that link to their pages.

Here are the steps to extend the page rank.

* be part of forums, forums are a good thanks to achieve links to your web site.
* go through search engine directories.
* making and publishing articles.
* Links from connected websites.
* Social Bookmarking
* Press Release Submission
* Social Media Optimization
* Directories Submission
* Competitive Website Listing
* Blog making and optimization
* Rss Feed Submission
* Image and Video Optimization

Note that you simply should be terribly careful in obtaining inlinks back to Google policy, else it’ll back hearth your website. in keeping with Google pointers, obtaining inlinks from spam websites can work out site ban in google. Most of the link building firms do black hat ways to induce inlinks and increase your page rank. this is often extremely a brief time result and your website could also be banned then.

Create links to your website from Wordpress.I have done this so many times and it has worked everytime.

I would also suggest adding your RSS feed and website to RSSfeedia.com.It’s a handy backlink source.

Social Buzz and Twitter Tweets has a BIG impact on SEO and organic search!?

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 00:00:31 +0000

Some time ago I run some tests to see if social buzz like Twitter Tweets and other social media channels is affecting Google organic search result pages.

As most of you know this links is "nofollow", but my testing shows that Google is not only using Twitter Tweets as a ranking factor, but that the Twitter Tweets is actually more effective than my link building regarding SERPs and Ranking!! Can this finally be the solution to all the link-spam or will this be the start of a new "anti-social" marketing spam instead? Any thoughts about this?

I’ve also found similar studies backing up my investigations.
The most recent one called "The Social Media Marketers SEO Checklist" is from SEOmoz!

This is really hot news, or is it?
How do you think this will affect SEO and Social Media Marketing in (lets say) three years? The holy-grail for spam marketers and "how to make money online" niches?

Yes, Twitter is a factor. Also realize Twitter is RSS that feeds into thousands of other RSS feeds. Twitter is a pretty hard SEO tool to ignore anymore.

How do I raise awareness of a new brand online?

admin — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 23:24:14 +0000

I have recently started to sell my own brand of cosmetics, Postquam, and would like to find non-intrusive ways to raise awareness of the brand. I don’t want to use spam or expensive Google ads, but would like to use social media and as many free online tools as possible to let people know of this new brand. Any ideas? Thanks!

directcost4’s,

Here are some things you can do create awareness of your brand online. Considering that you are running a cosmetics company your potential market is huge and can be found on literally any social media site you can think about. Start by creating a Facebook Page and a Twitter Account. Have links to them on your website.

1. SEO, you dont have to hire expensive service providers. You can start doing it yourself by ensuring that your website (http://www.postquam.com/, i assume thats your website) is frequently updated with fresh, keyword rich content. I notice that your website does not have too much content. You could even create a resources section on your website where you could provide beauty tips, articles etc for free.
2. Create a You Tube Channel for your company and post videos. As mentioned above you could create videos providing beauty tips, product reviews or product demonstrations. You could do the same with images.
3. Start or Participate in discussions relating to cosmetics on websites like Yahoo Answers, Answers.com, facebook etc.
4. Integrate a sharing widget like sharethis.com on your website, article pages etc. This will allow others to share interesting information with their respective networks.

There is a lot more you could do, but the above should be enough to get you started.

Thanks
