How to Hide Yourself On Facebook Chat Box ?

2011-10-16T22:17:00.000+05:30

I have got some friends on Facebook that i just don’t want to talk to, but they bug me every time sign into Facebook chat and it seems they are just waiting for someone to come online and start chatting.

I just wanted to block them anyhow as they were eating a big chunk of my online surfing talking non-sense. I found this solution which can be of use to you also.

The solution is to create a new List for the friends you want to hide from, and then set that list to offline in Facebook chat.

Click on 'Friends' on the left-hand menu on your Facebook profile page.
Then click on the 'Create a List' button.
Give the list a meaningful name. I chose “Show me Offline To These”. Next, add your friends whom you want yourself to show as 'Offline' to the list.
Now open up your Facebook Chat screen, and click the little green toggle switch against the “Show me Offline To These” friend list.
Once done, you’ll be signed out for those people. Later, you can also easily add or remove people from the Hidden Chat list by just clicking the little edit link that launches the List edit screen.

How to keep your System running Safe and Efficiently.

2011-10-08T12:36:00.000+05:30

Hello, and Welcome to my own little Tutorial on how to keep your System running Safe and Efficiently. If you follow this guide from the Get-Go, then you should have little to no problems when it comes to Your own Security and the Effectiveness of your Machine. If your computer is running Horrendously slow, then I would suggest you wipe your Computer (Read Sec. #5), get a New version of Windows / Linux / Mac (or what-have you), and start from scratch. Keep in mind every Link provided here sends you to a Free Program site, and as a Hacker you need to get the Idea of "Paying" for anything OUT.

What will be discussed in this Tutorial:

1.) The Basics, and What Firewall should I use?
2.) Techniques when sorting through Potentially Dangerous links or Downloads.
3.) Well, I have a Firewall, and a Grasp of what to do and not do... How do I protect myself If I slip up, or get rid of whatever it is ailing my system?
4.) I don't want to take any chances. What do I do to check my computer for anything Malicious, and get rid of it?
5.) Fuck it. I'm starting over. What do I do?

Section 1 : The Basics, and What Firewall should I use?

So, you want to be a Hacker? Want to Dabble in the Dark Arts that has been Looked down upon since the Days of Dial-up? Well, just keep the following in mind: "No matter what, there is always something more Cleverer then yourself. - Merlin "

--Part 1--

If your going to Survive on the Internet, then you are going to need a Shield. This shield is referred to as a Firewall. There has always been a Debate on which firewalls one should use, and which ones suck. Point blank, the Top 3 are the following, and It is up to you to Decide which one you wish to use.

#1 - COMODO Firewall and Internet Security (*)
#2 - Outpost Firewall
#3 - Zone Alarm (*)

-These are Not listed in a Specific order, but I personally use COMODO Firewall. It is very Flexible, very easy to use, and for the most part is Hacker Friendly.

-Outpost has its own + and -'s about it, It's a little more Paranoid then COMODO, but still delivers outstanding Protection.

-Zone Alarm is probably the most annoying, as it will fret at the mere languish of the Word "Hack". However, it is very useful for Constant protection, and is Updated evenly (Just as the Others).

The purpose of a Firewall is to make sure that no Malicious programs are Downloaded onto your system without you knowing about it or approving it, and can even restrict access to certain connections going to/from your Computer.

Surfing the web without a Firewall is like screwing a 45 year old hooker; Don't take the chance, use Protection.

This shouldn't really be in this TuT, but I thought I'd add it just to make sure.

Most (I'm pretty sure all, but still) Operating Systems come with a "De-fragmentation" application, and will allow your computer to automatically take strung out files and compress them, giving your System more memory and the Ability to perform tasks easier, for Longer, and quicker. Defrag weekly, and restart your computer after doing so.

After you have chosen yourself a Firewall, check out Sec. #2.

(If you are -Just- Re-formatting, please skip to Section 3. Failure to do such can put your system at Risk! If this is not the case, continue.)

--

Section 2 : Techniques when sorting through Potentially Dangerous links or Downloads.

--

Alright! You have your Firewall. Time to go Download some music and chill to re-live your success of achieving the Impossible; Internet Security! ...right?

No. You fail. You have a Wooden Shield, and I have Fiery Armor, and the biggest fucking Sword you've ever seen.... Also, of course, on fire.

You would lose. I promise.

Let's say your searching the Hackforums one day, and you come across a Thread providing Links to a Free Program that would otherwise be unattainable, or very difficult to crack. Well look at that.. They gave you a Link to the Program to Download. Noone else of course has seen the thread, and you are the first person to come across it, so there is not Guarantee as to the Authenticity of it. How do you tell if it is Malicious?

Easy. Get something that can scan the File(s), and give you an Accurate report on if it is Dangerous or not.

Lots of Hackers (Geeks too) use online scanners, rather then download anything that looks touchy. I've been guilty of this from time to time, but I'd rather be able to use a Program before a Website. Mainly because I am lazy, and I don't feel like opening another tab.

If you are this way, and want to use something easily, then I recommend to you Dr. Web LinkChecker (*). All you have to do is Right-Click the Link before you download it, move your Cursor to the Dr. Web option, and Left-Click. It will automatically search the file for anything Malicious, and report back to you.

There are some other ways to tell if your being Joked around with. For example, you want to Download a Song from a Specific Link, but the link is only 345KB in Size. Common sense should tell you; Any song, Compressed or not, that is about 4-5 minutes long is usually about 4-5 MB in size. 1 MB = 1024 KB. So, 345 KB = 1/3 Of 1 MB. That is Screaming Fail and Anguish. Use common sense and download Dr. Web (or use an Online scanner) and scan the File.

Keep in mind, Hackers will make there own files "FUD", which stands for Fully Undetectable, so caution is stressed when downloading anything from anyone. I implore you to do research on whatever song it is, whatever program, whatever it is, and see if there is a Safe + Legal Alternative to such. Google is your Friend.

Mainly all I can stress to you is only download files from a Trusted Provider or Source. I would trust someone here on the Hackforums with more Reputation and Publicity then someone with none, and I would trust a Moderator with even more, because they seem to be Trustable sources. But by all means, do NOT ever give anyone your Complete and Full trust. Whether on the Computer, or not.

Also. If you are using Limewire, Mp3 Rocket, Frostwire, or Bearshare... Just, Fuck, Go ahead and Reformat. Your hopeless. Don't ask why, just trust me.

Section 3 : Well, I have a Firewall, and a Grasp of what to do and not do... How do I protect myself If I slip up, or get rid of whatever it is ailing my system?

Your next step is going to be getting an Anti-Virus program.

There are literally hundreds of AV's out there, hell I'm actually in the Middle of Programming my own... but which one is the best?

Honestly, there is no *Best* one, and I refuse to Argue the fact. Not all Antiviruses are as Awesome or Horrible as their competitors, but I have the Top 3 that most Hackers here, on the HF, use or can at least give credit to.

#1- Avira AntiVir Personal
#2- Avast! Free / Pro
#3- Kaspersky

All of these have their ups and downs. If you want Medium Protection, get Avast. Avira is, and will remain, my personal favorite because of it's User-Friendly Interface and Flexibility. Its also really keen on getting those otherwise difficult to get Files and Folders. Kaspersky is a basic one, is free, and also has a Nice Interface. It is your own choice.

Remember, having a Strong and Reliable Firewall and AntiVirus is crucial for anyone, not just Hackers. Choose Carefully, and do your own individual research on each one before downloading.

Be sure to do Daily scans on your computer with your Anti-Virus. All three of these all have built in scanners, with customizable times as to when it will scan.

Section 4 : I don't want to take any chances. What do I do to check my computer for anything Malicious, and get rid of it?

I could give you a List of what to use and sort through for this, but I will be plain and Blunt; Spybot : Search and Destroy (*).

This is hands down the best and most useful S
pyware Scanner / Detection Program, and can get rid of Malicious Files with the click of a button. I implore you to use this, along with your Firewall and Antivirus, to give yourself the best sense of Security available. Combining this with Defragging can really make an Improvement on your System, and is more or less referred to as weekly "Maintenance" for your Computer.

Be sure to not let your Computer run when you are not home. Not only does it waste power, but your computer staying Idle for long periods of time can Burn Virtual memory, and that isn't good. Restart your Computer after every Virus scan and Defrag.

Section 5 : Fuck it. I'm starting over. What do I do?

If you have done everything above, but still your Computer acts Weird and Slow, then I recommend starting over. It's pretty simple, and I have just the Program for you.

Use DBAN : Boot and Nuke (*). Hence the name, you insert it into the Computers CDROM Drive, restart your Computer, and Get rid of Everything on the Drive.

Doing such will wipe your Computer Entirely CLEAN. Meaning, NOTHING. If you have any files, photos, etc. that is of value, by yourself a Flash-Drive and put it on the Drive. Make sure you scan the files, as putting the Virus that caused you to have to resort to such on a brand new computer is just... Stupid.

This program is very simple to use, as stated above. Put it in, Wham-Bam. Please, however, make sure you have another OS ready on a Seperate CDROM. Once you wipe the computer, everything is 100% Unrecoverable, and you will be unable to use the computer for anything until you reinstall a new Operating System. Which one you choose is at your own Discretion.

Secure Your System || PC Security Tips

2011-10-08T12:24:00.001+05:30

Being a hacker, you're coming face to face with some of the most malicious programs on the internet every day. You want to be secure. Most of the programs you'll be downloading will be malicious, so how can you tell if the program will be working against you or for you?
This guide will be looking at the scanning of malicious files, as well as a guide to anti-viruses & firewalls and a brief introduction to sandboxing and anonymity. So yep, you're in for quite a bit of reading. Grab a drink, maybe a cigarette.

Being secure is important. Just because you call yourself a hacker, it doesn't mean you're immune to attacks towards your computer. Without my anti-virus, I doubt I'd actually be typing this now - I'd probably be searching through my registries and screaming like a chicken on speed. I'm like that.
Not all anti-viruses work the same way. Some anti-virus programs are bad; some are good, and some are just plain useless. We'll be looking at which ones are the best of the best, and which ones are just plain fail.
Being infected with something can also put your friends and family at risk, other users of your computer could be having their login & credit card details stolen without any knowledge of it. Worms can also spread to your email contacts and friends on popular websites such as Facebook.

Downloads & Scanning
For example, you download a program and the poster is claiming that it is a clean botnet controller. If we can this, it will come up with results such as "Win32/RBot" etc.. This means that the file should be what we wanted.
Now, if the botnet-controller scan came up as something like "Win32/trojan.agent.a", we can tell that this is a malicious program that will work against us. This is an example of a download you do not want to use.
All in all, the scan should show results similar to what you were downloading.
You should always be careful what you download. You may often be downloading malicious software without even realizing sometimes. Trust me, this happens to a lot more people than you think.
If you're expecting a file to be much bigger than the download you find, don't touch it. An example of this would be "Windows XP Theme - 350kb!" when it should be a lot higher, such as 30-50mb.
Remember to always check the names of the files you download.. If you're downloading a cracked program, it would be unusual for it to have no credits or advertisements in it. I would trust " 'x' cracked by 'y' " more than I'd trust " 'x' crack". Credits, names or advertisements should nearly always be in .rar or .zip files, this is one good way of recognizing a trusted download.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia which you may find helpful: "Example: ZTreeWin_1.5.zip contains a crack to register ZtreeWin 1.51 included files are: keygen.exe, one.nfo, file_id.diz and 'RUN.EXE'. It is the 'RUN.EXE' that contains the rogue program"
Downloading really isn't necessary and is often risky, but we have some clean content in the HF-L33t section if you want to upgrade for that. ;)

Online File Scanners
Web-scanners such as "VirusTotal" and "NoVirusThanks" are becoming increasingly popular with the amount of anonymous downloads posted all over the internet.
If you want to scan a file you find suspicious, you can go to either http://virustotal.com or http://novirusthanks.org to do so.
VirusTotal will send samples of the file to the antivirus companies, so this is not recommended if you want to keep your file undetectable.
NoVirusThanks has an "Advanced options" area where you can choose to not distribute your file to the antivirus companies, this is handy for keeping things fully undetectable, but if it's a file you don't trust and don't want yourself or others to be infected by it in the future, I suggest you allow them to distribute it to the antivirus companies. I respect what these websites and the malware fighting websites do, and so should you.

Visiting Websites & Reading Emails.
Be cautious of the websites you visit. I wouldn't recommend visiting any websites that seem cheap, uncommon, or freely hosted. Malicious websites are often misleading or can just inject things into your system without your consent. If you use the "Chrome" browser from Google, you may have noticed that it automatically downloads files without prompting you. Chrome is a browser I would not recommend just because it is so new, all new things have vulnerabilities, and if a vulnerability can be exploited, it will be exploited.
I'm behind a firewall and anti-virus anyway, but the only websites I visit are popular ones. The untrustworthy and uncommon websites usually don't appeal to me, for obvious reasons..
When opening emails, you should also be cautious. Just because it's an email from your friend - it doesn't mean you can trust it! You may see some emails asking you to update your bank details -- your banks should never ask you to do that via email. The details you enter will be sent out to someone who is going to exploit your details, so steer away from these emails.
Worms can be spread via email. For example, you open an email from Bob containing a worm, this worm is then sent to all of your contacts. This is how most worms will work, and it is suggested that you change your emailing service if it could be vulnerable. You can use Microsoft's live hotmail service which is excellent, it will also disable any harmful content from downloading onto your computer. You can find this service at http://mail.live.com

Sandboxing
By using a sandbox, everything that is downloaded onto your computer will remain in the sandbox. It will not escape, meaning that malicious downloads cannot harm your computer. Sandboxing is a great way to test whether or not a website can be trusted. I rarely do this, but it's so useful sometimes.
Sandboxing will also protect your cookies, history and cached temporary files from being leaked. Downloads are isolated, meaning that they are trapped and your computer is protected.

Firewalls
The good antiviruses will have a built-in Firewall, but if not, then it may be worth downloading one. Firewalls aren't essential, but can help a lot.
Some firewalls have IP masking options, but these can usually slow down your computer and are not worth using unless you're doing something illegal.
The main use of a firewall is to prevent incoming traffic, which will stop things like 'telnet' from reaching your connection, and can also stop worms etc. from accessing your network. Firewalls will also block the backdoors that trojans create, so if you find yourself unlucky enough to have a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) on your computer, the backdoor should be blocked by your firewall, but it is possible for a trojan to bypass this. Having a firewall does not mean you are secure, many firewalls can be easily disabled or bypassed by malware. Some firewalls will also block legit connections, such as downloads for software. Do not think you're secure just because you have a firewall, this is a common misconception with firewalls. Too many people think that by installing a highly popular firewall, they'll instantly be secure against the latest intrusions, but this is not at all true.
Firewalls may also make an effect on your connection speed. If you have a very fast download speed, you may notice a difference when you get a firewall, but the download speed may remain normal on users with slower speeds. This effect can vary between users, and depends on the connection. It's best to try several firewalls to find out which one suits you best - reviews are personal and will not always be the same for everyone.
One of the favourite firewalls is "ZoneAlarm" which is very popular and has a free version. The paid version is obviously better, but it isn't necessary at all.
If you're using Windows Vista, I'd recommend choosing ZoneAlarm as your firewall. The same goes for XP, but you might want to get your hands on a "BlackIce" crack instead, if possible.
Another great Firewall is "Comodo" which is also free can be found here...
Comodo: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
Zone Alarm: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/c...wall_b.jsp
Ghost: http://www.ghostsecurity.com/ghostwall/

Antiviruses
An anti-virus program is essential. You honestly shouldn't go without one. If you don't have one, there is a list of downloads and recommendations in the next post. Don't be worried about the anti-virus slowing down your computer, if you get the right one then your computer will remain at maximum performance.
You want an antivirus that will scan your RAM and system folders constantly, because then you will be alerted if something harmful has been found in them. The average antivirus will only scan and remove when told to, but the best ones will scan constantly, update daily, and give plenty of tweaking options to fit to your preferences.
If there are malicious programs that you want to download such as Metasploit, it is best if you have an antivirus that will allow you to do so. Some antivirus programs will give you no option and will quarantine the file straight away, but others such as Kaspersky will give you the option to clean, remove or ignore.
Viruses can sometimes fully disable your protection, but the stronger programs such as Nod32 can withstand this and will be unclosable. You want something tough if you're going to be downloading riskware.
A good anti-virus will also constantly scan your downloads and running processes. Hopefully you are able to understand now why these are essential.
If you want to run more than one antivirus, you must find a combination that works. If you have a good antivirus, you won't need to. Infact, you shouldn't ever need to run more than one. I remember having Kaspersky running while I installed Nod32, my PC growled. :3 The only antivirus-related programs I have installed at the moment are HijackThis, ComboFix and NOD32. I like to use HijackThis to see what's running on my computer, and I always keep ComboFix just incase, you never know what's round the corner...
I remember having no antivirus software installed whatsoever, and then I received a rootkit that wouldn't let me download any software.. I got rid of them eventually, but it wasn't easy, the rootkit wasn't detected by most AV's because of it being so new/rare - you still can't find it on a few of the AV databases! But I do wish I had it again, so I could send it out as a sample.
I will be listing my favourite anti-viruses in my next post. I strongly recommend you stick to these, as there are many fake ones that you can be easily lead to. Remember to look things up before downloading them. Pick wisely! :3

The Top 5 Anti-virus Programs.
Here's the list of my top five favourite anti-virus programs in order.
You can pick which you want from each picture, but I'd recommend Kaspersky.

Kaspersky:

Nod32:

Avast:

Bitdefender:

AVG:

Essential Additions.
There's a few more tools which I'm sure you'll definetely want to get.
HijackThis is a tool used to scan the areas of your computer which viruses are often located in. It will also scan the registry areas which hold the legitimate programs and, quite often, the infections. It is best not to delete ('fix checked') any entries on HijackThis unless you know what you're doing, as you may be removing something which is a required part of your system.
Another good thing about HijackThis is the fact that it's so lightweight, it uses barely any memory, it's easy to use, and you don't need to keep it running!
This is a great area to check if a process is harmful or not: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
HijackThis can be found here: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/...hijackthis

Browser Protection
There are several great addons for browsers which you can get to protect you from malicious websites.
If you use FireFox, look for "WOT" and "NoScript", WOT will give warnings before you visit a website, and NoScript will disable malicious scripts from running when you visit a website.
If you use Internet Explorer, look for "IE-Spyad", IE-Spyad will redirect you away from malicious webpages and guard you from over 5,000 different URL's.
I'm also working on my own plugin, which you can expect to see in a few months. This will be for IE only, until I fully figure out how FireFox operates.

Okay, now that you're protected (well, I hope you are), it's time to be invisible...

IP Hiders
You can get some great IP hiders to keep you anonymous.
A personal favourite is "Hide-The-IP", which allows you to select the proxy and choose the speed of the one you want.
Hide-The-IP can be found here: http://www.hide-the-ip.com/ - Though you may need to find a crack for it!
There are many fabulous IP hiders out there which can be found, and these are a must if you're going to be involved in any illegal activity.

Tor: Anonymity Online
You may want to download "Tor" and TorButton for FireFox. This is a program which will select a proxy for you and allow you to spoof your connection by using that.
TorButton is a FireFox addon which allows you to change your proxy quickly by clicking the button. This is a great tool, and another good reason to download FireFox!
The whole Tor website with information & downloads can be found here: http://www.torproject.org/

Alright, grab another cup o' coffee, 'cause we've still got more to do..

Personal Details
Okay, you may want to give out your name and things on your Facebook or MySpace, but if you do, it's wise to use an alternate alias. If someone searched your hacking alias in Google, they'd probably be able to pick up a lot of information on you from that. Think about the name you choose before you choose it, and make sure you don't over-use it - only use it where you think you should. Don't complain about not being anonymous if you're going to splurt out your details everywhere, you can't expect to stay hidden if you're going to give yourself away without realising. Remember that.

Keeping Software Updated
Software should always be kept updated. This is vital. Most security experts will tell you that updating your software is more important than having an antivirus, because malware finds flaws and vulnerabilities in software that it can exploit.
This is what should always be kept fully up to date:
Your operating system (e.g. updating from Windows XP SP1 to SP2).
Java.
Browser.
Antivirus.
Firewall.
Instant messaging or email applications.
Any other software which could be exploited.
Zer0man showed me this lovely website with scanners you can use to check for out-of-date software...
Here's the online version: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/
And the downloadable version: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/
Quite obviously, the downloadable version scans for more vulnerabilities than the online version, and it includes more features. This is a great tool to use every few weeks, since you never know what's around the corner ;-)

Active Thinking
Many scams and computer infections require your consent, so you should always be wary. If something doesn't quite look right, make sure to research it. Many people are fooled into giving away their details by fake emails from companies such as banks, social networking websites, etc. You shouldn't believe everything you read. Many scams will lead you on, so you just have to watch out. Keep everything you've learned from this guide in mind, and you'll be safe.
A good quote from The Real Hustle: "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is".

Passwords
Though it is also important to have a password you will remember, you should also be sure that it can't be guessed. If it's a site containing personal information, I suggest you change your password once a month. A good password would contain letters, numbers and symbols - maybe even words in a foreign language if it helps! An example of a good password would be "A$fao4iz3Â£p" not "John1982" or "ilovefootball". Passwords should be different for each website you use, because if someone hacked into a forum, for example, and took your details - potentially, they could have access to your PayPal account, Facebook, etc.

Well, you should know just about everything you need to know by now. If there's anything else you're wondering, don't hesitate to ask! I will be here for any questions, feedback or suggestions. This guide should keep you well-hidden and protected from now on, just remember to keep everything in mind!

How To Earn Passive Income From Affiliate Program?

2011-09-30T23:03:00.000+05:30

What is affiliate marketing?

Since I haven’t talked much about affiliate programs yet, let me offer a short introduction.
As you’ve probably guessed, affiliate marketing is another way to make money from your websites. It’s the online version of working on commission.
You sign up to be an affiliate for a merchant that offers an affiliate program, and then you insert special tracking links into your site to promote the merchant or specific products the merchant sells. If one of your visitors clicks the link and buys something within a certain number of days, you’ll get a percentage of the sale. Terms vary from program to program.
Well-known merchants with affiliate programs are Amazon, eBay, and Clickbank (these guys are big in the sale of digital products, especially ebooks).
Affiliate marketing and article sites
What you may be wondering is should you be using affiliate links in your article sites. After all, we’ve kind of set everything up based on making money with Adsense, right? We based our niche and the keywords we’re targeting on what Adwords merchants are paying for clicks.
That’s all true, but you may also want to implement affiliate links into your article site. There’s nothing wrong with having an affiliate link on the same page as you have Adsense ads. If someone isn’t interested in clicking an ad (maybe they’ve ignored your well-placed ad unit and are focused on the text of the article), they might find a link inserted right into the sentence more appealing to click.
Unlike with pay-per-click advertising programs such as Adsense, you won’t get paid just for a click of an affiliate link. The reader must actually buy something (or, for pay-per-lead affiliate programs they must fill out a form) in order for you to make money. However, affiliate marketing can still be quite lucrative, because you’ll typically make a lot more on your commission than you would for a simple ad click.
As an example, I made $75 yesterday from one sale (someone who bought a big flat-screen TV on Amazon). I don’t even promote electronics for the most part (maybe I should!), but someone surfed in from a link on one of my home improvement sites, and that’s the “home improvement” they decided to make.
I’ve had Adsense clicks worth a few dollars, but I’ve never made that much on one click. And Amazon isn’t even known as a particularly lucrative affiliate program (they only pay 4% on electronics, and I’m making about %7.50 for sales of books and other products). If you surf through the Commission Junction website (kind of a big mall of merchants offering affiliate programs), you can find companies offering 10%-30% in commissions, and for Clickbank where all the products are virtual (and cost nothing to reproduce), commissions can be above 50%.
How should you integrate affiliate links in your article sites?
Some basic considerations for affiliate marketing are…

More sales are made from articles that “pre sell” the product. It’s not your job to sell it, just make the visitor aware of why they may need it and what their options are. A review article, for example, is probably the ideal vehicle for affiliate links. Product comparison and consumer information articles can also do well.
Links should be integrated right into the text. Banners in the menu or header (or anywhere for that matter) don’t perform as well as links placed right in the eyes’ path.
Products should be closely related to what you’re writing about. If you’ve been reading this series from the beginning, you’ll remember (and probably be sick of) my tennis ball machine example. Let’s use it one last time briefly. If I’m writing an article that discusses Lobster tennis ball machines, it makes sense to link to exactly that: Lobster tennis ball machines. I might link to two or three different models in an article that is offering information on the brand.

Are there any downsides to incorporating affiliate links into your article sites?
I don’t think there are any huge downsides, but there are a couple things you may want to think about before signing up for a dozen affiliate programs:

Merchants sometimes discontinue products, change links, or leave marketplaces such as Commission Junction, which charge a fee to belong. Any of those actions will break the links on your site. This can provide an obstacle to the “set it and forget it” passive-income generation we want with these article sites, since you’ll want to occasionally go back and make sure your links are still working.
Affiliate links can taint a reader’s perception of a supposedly unbiased information article. As soon as you put ads on a site, it’s clear your aim is to make money, but advertising is something we’re all familiar with in magazines, television, etc., so people are probably going to accept that displaying Adsense next to your article isn’t an endorsement of any particular company or product (you can even filter out offensive ads). However, if you start promoting products in your articles, it is more of a direct endorsement, and the veracity of the rest of your article–site–can be called into question.

The How Get Traffic to Your Business or Affiliate Program?

2011-09-30T22:57:00.000+05:30

If you are into social networking but you don't want to leave the comfort of home, then MySpace is the place for you. If you have a business or an Affiliate Marketing program you would like to promote, MySpace is your solution to that also. MySpace is the most popular social networking site on the Internet. The site started as a way for small bands to share their music but has since exploded into mainstream pop culture. MySpace offers users the chance to establish their identity on the Internet. Users can create a profile that is unique to them which they can use to blog, contact and create a network of friends, upload photos, music and videos.

MySpace has become so popular that per Alexa, a website traffic ranking website, it boasts being the fourth most popular English language website. Of all Internet visits in the United States, 4.5% are to MySpace. Several secondary social networking sites have been born because of the MySpace popularity. They include Orkut, Hi5, Faceparty, Bebo, Friendster and Facebook.

With this rise in Internet social networking, enterprising minds would want to capture this tremendous force to create massive viral marketing for any business or affiliate program The potential benefits of harnessing this wave is staggering, if used properly and diligently.

A large percentage of MySpace users are of the early twenty-something demographic. The current demographic also includes teens whereas the best way to deliver information to them is in a fashion that is cool, trendy, quick and informative. Also present on MySpace is independent label bands promoting their music, business owners, young entrepreneurs, web designers, webmasters and artists all promoting their talents.

One way to advertise a unique and interesting aspect of your business or affiliate program is through your profile. Being creative with your profile will certainly capture attention. Think of something shocking or funny that people will remember and will pass on to others. This profile is an integral part of your company and personal image. The number of visitors to your MySpace page will grow as you encourage people to interact with your profile. The key is to not take yourself too seriously and be light-hearted in your approach.

Posting comments on your friend's pages is another advantageous way of advertising your business opportunity. This works really well after you have accumulated a fair amount of friends. Most will allow you to post live web site links in your comment on their page. Proper etiquette in using this method is to type a personal message about that person or their profile above the link.

With MySpace, anyone can create a simple webpage, build a massive list of friends and advertise through them by posting bulletins. Doing this in the right way can be a useful tool in advertising creating the huge potential for viral marketing. You can use the bulletin tool to send announcements on a regular basis to your list of friends. Bulletins are already used to promote bands and services. Your goal should be to make yours stand out and legitimate or you will risk being dumped from their lists. For example, you could send a bulletin to your list of friends that says something like "Give Me Just One Hour And I'll Have You Making Up to $1,000 Everyday On Complete Auto-Pilot! Start Making Money Within One Hour Guaranteed..." using the "Multiple Streams of Income" system. Then you can say "Click here for FREE details" (your link goes here for them to click) to ensure that they know where to get access to more information.

It's important to promote something you feel would benefit your list of friends. Equally important is to be honest in your title. Using the phrase, "Free Information" should be an attention grabber. You will need to think of a catchy title for your bulletin post that will increase the likelihood of it being read. It's not recommended that you use the same title or send bulletins too often because you run the risk of being dumped from the friends list of others.

MySpace does not seem to be leaving anytime soon. It appears to be here for a while. It can be beneficial to you and your business or affiliate program to harness this power of this unique form of social networking. Don't overlook this platform for advertising because you have the perfect opportunity to engage your customers with a personal feel and you can have a ton of fun at the same time.

What is Affiliate Markiting?

2011-08-30T21:52:00.003+05:30

An Affiliate Marketer is someone who actively promotes the products or services of one or more businesses, and receives commissions on sales generated through his/her referrals.
A successful Affiliate Marketer is efficient and 'savvy', can locate a good business opportunity and extract it's full income generating potential.

Applying Affiliate Marketing techniques to promote your business on the Internet can be very successful, once you understand some of the basics. We estimate that around 5 million people are involved in promoting affiliate web sites. The majority of these, perhaps 75%, will not generate a single commission check. Approximately 25% will make supplemental income from their
programs, relying on income from other sources, with only a relatively small number of affiliate marketers who are very successful.

Therefore, what do the 'successful' marketers do differently and how can we apply their techniques to our Internet business?
Broadly speaking there are six methods of promoting a web site on the Internet:
1. Through the Internet Search Engines.
2. Banner advertising, both pay-per-click and reciprocal banner exchanges.
3. Opt-in (subscription) email lists.
4. Ezines, article submission sites and reputable Business to Business resource sites.
5. Free-for-all link boards (FFA), classified ad boards and directories.
6. Unsolicited Email (Spam)

Let us deal with the last two points first. We do not advocate the use of unsolicited email, and recommend to all our clients that they do not respond to unsolicited email, only to 'unsubscribe'.
FFA boards are becoming less effective, largely due to the decreasing numbers of people who actually read posted messages. FFA boards have evolved into 'automated' link sites where you submit your 'offer' to 1000's of boards through automated bulk-submission services, and you receive auto-responders from the board operators, advertising their services to you. Most of thes auto-response messages are filtered out and deleted by the submission service before you get to read them, or are
directed to a 'free' email address where they are dumped - automated submissions, automated deletions! That is not to say that they serve no purpose. FFA boards can enhance the 'link-popularity' of your web site, which can gain you valuable points with search engines. Which leads us to answer the question posed above - "what do successful marketers do differently and how can we apply their techniques to our Internet business". The answer is to implement a short-term strategy, and then plan and implement a strategy for the mid to long term. An effective short-term strategy might involve the use of a combination of Banner advertising, opt-in email lists, and Ezines to get some traffic flowing quickly. The effectiveness of each will be largely dependant on your category of business and the marketing message you create to front your ads (your web copy). At the same time you must implement your
mid to longer term marketing goals, which will form the 'backbone' of your marketing strategy. The ideal vehicle for delivering steady 'targeted' traffic in higher volume and at low cost -
'Search Engines'.

Consider this. If I email my 'sales offer' through opt-in email to a subscriber base of 300,000 people, I can expect to pay anywhere between $1500 and $5,000 for a one-time mailing, depending on the target audience. Alternatively, for less than $1,000 I can register a domain name, setup some basic advertising
web pages, have the pages 'optimized' to rank well on the search engines and host the site for a whole year. When traffic starts to arrive through Internet searches it will be targeted and will
produce a far superior visitor/inquiry ratio than through any other advertising medium. Most importantly it is a sustainable and predictable flow of visitors, generated at a very low 'cost per
visitor' rate. Those businesses that plan for the long term will mostly be around in the long term. Those that do not, most certainly will not.

"Making it big without spending a penny on advertising" - we see very few ways of effectively promoting a business on the Internet these days without some costs. There are many places where your site can be advertised for free, but how effective are they?

Be prepared to invest some money into marketing your business and try to seek out reputable services. Exercise caution whenever you see 'money for nothing' style promotions and do not gamble with your
livelihood.Thoroughly test all your marketing campaigns so you can identify those that are successful and those that are not. In the same way, monitor the progress of your web site and record information about your visitors and how they found you. As a small or home based business entrepreneur, value your time!

Can We Really Earn From Survey?

2011-08-28T17:45:00.000+05:30

The short answer to that question is, yes online surveys can be a reliable way to make money online, but, there are a few things you should know about making money online with online surveys.

Making money taking paid surveys is a good way to make money online but not the way to make a living. If you think you will get rich or even make thousands of dollar staking online surveys, you need to stop wasting your time. I know there are hundreds of paid survey websites and advertisement all over the internet, telling you how you can make a living taking simple online surveys. But the truth is, you cant really make a living taking online surveys.

An average online survey pays $2 for a 20 minuet survey. Yes you could make about $100 a day taking surveys, but first of all you have to spend all day sitting in front of your computer, which means its probably better to get a job where you can make that money working only 8 hours a day or so. The second problem is that paid survey sites don’t send out that much survey invitation every day. On average you receive 3-4 paid survey invitation a week. So, you cant really count on paid surveys as a means of paying your bills.

But, that’s not to say you cant make much money with paid surveys. Of course to make more money taking paid surveys, you need to be invited to take more surveys, and that can be done by registering with a bunch of legitimate paid surveys sites. That way you have a better chance of receiving more survey invitations and thus making more money.

When it comes to getting paid taking online surveys, the fact is, it is a reliable way to make some extra money online, if you have the time and are willing to put some effort into it. You could make a few hundred dollars a month or more. But, if you are looking for a way to get rich online, filling simple online surveys isn’t gonna get you there. So, if you have realistic expectation of how much money you can make doing online surveys, you could say that liablonline surveys are a ree way of making money online.

How to improve your Eyesight- Near or Far

2011-08-19T22:56:00.000+05:30

Two of the most common visually ailments are Myopia and Presbyopia; otherwise known as near-and far-sightedness. Both are ailments effect vision and the distance that is seen when looking at objects. Both ailments can be cured on their own if allowed. Almost all eye ailments are caused from bad habits learned as children, and strain on the eyes.

Myopia is caused by the eyeballs elongating. This ailment is caused by habits which include only looking at objects close up for long periods of time. This starts out in school age children who are forced to learn things from books and other materials requiring close contact focus.

Myopia becomes a problem due to strain on the eyes, pressure, anxiety, or frustration. The pressure young children have to succeed is enormous. When information is boring, it is hard to actually learn. Looking at material for long periods of time without a break can cause the eyes to strain on close up information.

Near-sightedness can also be contributed to mental strain and psychological issue. Myopia can be part of an anxiety or nervousness about the future. Subconsciously the person may be afraid of what lays ahead of them and are unable to look ahead to the future. In this case, they are comfortable where they are and feel safe in their close up world.

Presbyopia is the ability to see things in the distant but not things close up. Far-sightedness starts affecting people in their 40s. This is when the lenses start to harden. The muscles around the eye can still be train to force the eyes to contract even with harden lenses. This ailment is believed to be part of getting older, so we just accept the problem and get glasses. We allow our eyes to become lazy and learn to rely on artificial lenses to get us through each day.

Presbyopia can also be ‘all in the mind’. People start to look too far to the future and refuse to look at things right in front of them. They allow their focus to be on retirement instead of on fixing the leaking faucet today.

Both these ailments can be avoided by allowing the eyes to move around naturally each day. If you are studying something up close for most of the day, spend an hour or so looking at things in the distance. If you are looking at things far away grab a book and read some pages.

Protect the Eyes from Glasses or Contacts

2011-08-19T22:40:00.000+05:30

Hello friends...Welcome to Tricks-Zone.

The eyes are one of the most important of the five senses. We need them to see and enjoy the world around us. They allow us to read and get work done. They help remember images we once saw, and they keep our dreams alive at night. The eyes are also sensitive and vulnerable to outside damage. They are one of the few organs that are on the outside of the body, protected only by a thin layer of skin, the eyelids.

The sun is a powerful wonderful thing. The sun is great for your skin and gives us valuable Vitamin D. Each day find the time to spend at least an hour in the sun. The sun has great healing powers and the natural light is as important as food, water, and air. Never look directly at the sun; of course, it can burn the retinas. Wear some kind of protection like a visor or hat to protect the eyes

Televisions and computers are used in our daily lives but they are hard on the eyes. They force eyes to stare for too long and don’t offer the eyes enough movement. The distance and angle doesn’t ever change, so the eyes remain looking at a still object for too long. It is not always possible to avoid the television or computers, especially computers. Look away every so often and focus on things far away to give your eyes a chance to move and adjust. Try not to spend the entire day in front of the television or at least let your eyes wander during commercials.

Reading is never harmful for the eyes, but it helps to enjoy what you are reading. The eyes will be more relaxed when reading a novel than when reading a text book full of new information. Learning to relax no matter what the subject is the key to enjoying reading. Dim lights and small print may be problematic at first, but the eyes will adjust when relaxed. Reading in bed can be relaxing and reading while driving doesn’t have to make you sick.

The eyes are sensitive organs, but learning to relax and keep them protected can ensure great vision for a long time.

Best diet plans to lose weight fast and easily.

2011-08-19T22:16:00.000+05:30

If I had a dollar for every time someone came up to me and said, “I need to lose weight and fast,” I’d be stretched out on the sandy beaches of Hawaii without a care in the world. Low carb, high protein, liquid and cabbage soup – with all the diet plans on the market, how on earth do you choose?
Most of these diets are just a bunch of hype; so personally, I wouldn’t touch any of them with a 50-foot stick. Sorry to break it to you (I always gotta be the bad guy), there are no shortcuts to weight loss. The most effective way to lose those stubborn pounds is by using a common sense approach that favors nutritious eating over dieting.

The Lure of the Fad Diet

When people want to lose weight, they want to do it quick, fast and in a hurry. Fad diet marketers take advantage of this desperation and use the promise of lightning speed results to reel you in.
Quick does not always equal better. In fact, when it comes to permanent weight loss, slow and steady always wins out in the end. Here are two of the main reasons faddy-type diets don’t work:

They don’t deliver long-term results. Most fad diets require you to drastically reduce your caloric intake. This causes your metabolism to respond by slowing down. Once you revert back to your regular eating habits, you’ll gain the weight back just as fast as you lost it.

They mangle your health. Fad diet plans deprive you of some of the key nutrients you need for good health. This can result in malnutrition, zapped energy, damaged organs, hair loss, and loss of lean muscle tissue. Sounds like a fun way to drop a few, huh.

4 Simple Rules of Eating to Lose Weight

Losing weight is certainly not the easiest thing to do, but if you remember these four simple rules, you’ll never have to hop on the fad diet bandwagon. You can lose weight gradually (remember slow and steady) and keep it off for good.

Stay away from processed foods. These foods are full of high fructose corn syrup, salt and chemical additives that can cause weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and cancer. Yep. This includes those frozen diet meals that some weight loss programs encourage you to buy.
Leave the sugar alone. Sugar is riddled with calories. If you use it to sweeten foods and beverages everyday, you can easily rack up too many calories and hinder your weight loss efforts.
Eat enough food. If you’re hungry all the time, you are probably not eating enough food to fuel your body. If you don’t eat enough, your body will hold on to stored fat instead of burning it off. This is not what you want to happen when you’re trying to lose weight.
Stay hydrated. Water is important when you’re trying to slim down because it helps to metabolize fat and eliminate toxins and stored fat in the body. So drink up!

Where Does Exercise Fit In?

When you follow a healthy eating plan, you’ll likely lose weight, even if you don’t workout. However, unless you add exercise into the mix, your metabolism will eventually slow down and you won’t see the results you want.
Your exercise routine should consist of both cardio and weight training. Relax ladies. Training with weights won’t turn you into the Terminator; it will simply help you build muscle mass and sculpt a lean, fierce frame.
Getting in the habit of working out several days week can be tough, especially if you already have a lot on your plate. Choose exercises you enjoy. This way, you’re more likely to stick with a program.
I know what it’s like to want to lose weight fast. I’ve been there and I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to permanent weight loss (believe me, I’ve looked). The best way to achieve long-term weight loss without jeopardizing your health is with proper nutrition and exercise.
Making the decision to lose weight is the first step to looking good and feeling even better. Watch this video to get advice on the age-old dilemma of, “I need to lose weight and fast.”

What exercise is best to lose weight?

2011-08-19T21:47:00.000+05:30

get asked all the time, “what’s the best exercise to lose belly fat?”, so I’ll answer it here because if one person is asking the question that means there’s a 100 more of you wondering the same thing and not wanting to speak up.
Here’s the thing: this is actually a trick question because there is NO ONE best exercise to lose belly fat! Because you can’t “spot reduce” any amount of fat on your body, which means you can’t just lose the fat around your belly and nowhere else.
So in order to lose belly fat you need to effectively lose fat over your whole body. And to do that you simply need to follow the steps I’ve laid out before here on this blog… but first…

You’re Probably Doing TOO MUCH When It Comes To Ab Exercises!

In an effort to lose belly fat, you might be doing a LOT of ab exercises. Hundreds of reps of crunches, situps, twisting situps, oblique work, leg raises, etc… and this could be hurting you in the long run…

You see, you’ll have a fairly strong set of abs that way, but most ab exercises done on the floor are not good for your overall posture. And this is more than a “look good sitting up” posture concern — it affects your health!

In modern times, most of us spend a lot of hours sitting at desks, hunched over keyboards and typing. This is a lot of “hunched” over upper back postures with a rounded back and contributes to shortened abs and shortened hip flexors too.
Add to that all the ab exercises you’re doing where you’re mainly doing trunk flexion exercises (crunches, situps, etc) and you’re contributing even more to short hip flexors, tight abs and a rounded lower back.
In the long run, this isn’t good for your lower back health and it’s the reason why a lot of people have lower back problems — even though they should have a strong core instead.
The main job of your abdominal muscles is to stabilize your trunk, your spine, and to keep you upright. So it’s important to train them with this in mind first — and then the flexion stuff as an after thought or not even at all.
Read my article called the Ab Workout Plan for more information.
Now that we’ve got your ab exercises fixed, let’s move on to losing that belly fat by losing fat all over:

Three Steps To Belly Fat Burning Success:

No matter what anyone tells you, you need to create a calorie deficit in your body (taking in less calories than you burn each day) to lose weight/fat. As Ricky Bobby would say, “That’s just science”. BUT, there are smart ways to go about creating this calorie deficit…
You could eat a LOT less and keep your same activity levels, or you could exercise or otherwise expand a LOT more activity… or the smart option… you could eat a little less AND expand a little more energy.
So here’s my advice:

Restrict calories – an easy way to do this without counting calories is to cut out carbs (or take them REALLY low) during the week. I’m not a “all carbs are evil!” type of guy, but if all you’re eating is meat, dairy and vegetables — you’ll see your calories drop really low right away. Also, start doing intermittent fasting, see how I put these two strategies together in The Perfect Muscle Building, Fat Burning Diet Plan.
Strength train – lean muscle burns fat and Strength Training tells your body to preserve your lean muscle when you’re restricting calories and to burn fat instead (yes, including belly fat).
Limited Cardio – don’t overdue this like most people. If you’re strength training 3x per week for 45 minutes you should be burning a lot of calories and doing a lot of good things for your metabolism as well. You can just add in a little interval training at the end of the strength workouts (on a 3x per week schedule) or do a little longer cardio on the 2-3 rest days per week (if you have a lot of body fat to burn) from strength training.

Following those three guidelines above are the answer to “What’s the best exercise to lose belly fat?” As you can see, it’s not as simple as some one “magic” exercise, but if you apply this advice it’ll get the job done.

Here's what 1 and 5 pounds of fat looks like. This article will show you how one guy lost 275 pounds of this junk!

Recently, I got this comment on the blog:

“Please everyone, the first part of this diet plan is ridiculous! Never fast for 16 or 20 hours, because your body will not burn fat for energy, it will go into a catabolic state in which it burns your muscle because its saving your fat because it believes it is being starved. You will go so far backwards if you ever go almost an entire day without eating.”

Lets examine what this guy is saying, shall we?
Perhaps I am totally wrong, and maybe fasting is somehow dangerous or will cause your body to burn muscle or will cause you to “go so far backwards” on your journey to health?
Let’s examine the SCIENTIFIC evidence …

When You Fast, Does Your Body Burn Fat OR Muscle?

The comment states:

“Never fast for 16 or 20 hours, because your body will not burn fat for energy, it will go into a catabolic state in which it burns your muscle”

Is this true?

Well, it depends on two things:

How long you’re fasting and
What you’re DOING while fasting.

In a SHORT fast — such as 16-24 hours — unlike what clueless people (like our commenter) want you to believe — your body will NOT burn muscle.
Instead it will first burn the stored glycogen in your muscles, and then fat, and LASTLY muscle.
Second, if you’re doing some form of exercise — resistance/strength training — during the fast — then your body is “smart” enough to know that it needs to keep your lean muscle and get rid of fat instead.
There was a study where they took a group of men, decreased their calorie intake by 1,000 calories per day and also had them do weight-training 3x per week.
The result? They lost up to 20 pounds of body fat and kept all their muscle mass.
(Rice B, Janssen I, Hudson, R, Ross R. Effects of aerobic or resistance exercise and/or diet on glucose tolerance and plasma insulin levels in obese men. Diabetes Care 1999; 22: 684-691)
As I’ve also mentioned before, a study was done as long as 12 weeks where people were on a VERY low calorie diet. Only 800, liquid, calories per day! But because these people were doing weight training 3x per week (a form of resistance training) – these people kept all their muscle mass.
(Bryner RW, Ullrich IH, Sauers J, Donley D, Hornsby G, Kolar M, et al. Effects of resistance vs. aerobic training combined with an 800 calorie liquid diet on lean body mass and resting metabolic rate. J Am Coll Nutr. 1999;18:115-21.)
Lastly, while there are no well-designed studies at this time that test subjects to see if fasting causes muscle loss, my friend Martin from LeanGains.com posted a great summary about this myth that fasting causes muscle loss (backed up with science, as per usual and emphasis mine also like usual):

“Only in prolonged fasting does protein catabolism become an issue. This happens when stored liver glycogen becomes depleted. In order to maintain blood glucose, conversion of amino acids into glucose must occur (DNG: de novo glucogenesis). This happens gradually and if amino acids are not available from food, protein must be taken from bodily stores such as muscle. Cahill looked at the contribution of amino acids to DNG after a 100 gram glucose load. He found that amino acids from muscle contributed 50% to glucose maintenance after 16 hours and almost 100% after 28 hours (when stored liver glycogen was fully depleted). Obviously, for someone who eats a high protein meal before fasting, this is a moot point as you will have plenty of aminos available from food during the fast.”

Basically as long as you’re eating a decent amount of protein every 24 hours — you’re gonna be absolutely fine — no muscle loss.

When You Fast, Does Your Body “Save” Fat?

The comment also states that when you fast, your body is “saving your fat” …. is this true?
Let me answer this question, by asking YOU a question:
WHY does your body store fat?
For ENERGY in case you ever stop feeding yourself.
So when you STOP feeding yourself, your body STARTS using stored fat.
It’s that simple: it’s the way your body was designed to work.
To think that your body will “save” fat if you stop eating for 24 hours or less is ridiculous.
Again, my main man Martin from LeanGains.com (because he has the patience to rebut all-comers with real science and hunting down the appropriate studies, unlike me, I’d rather just yell at you) has the following to say about how your metabolism actually INCREASES during a short-term fast (short-term in this case is up to 60 hours — WAY more than either I or Martin recommend, which proves the point even more):

“Looking at the numerous studies I’ve read, the earliest evidence for lowered metabolic rate in response to fasting occurred after 60 hours (-8% in resting metabolic rate). Other studies show metabolic rate is not impacted until 72-96 hours have passed (George Cahill has contributed a lot on this topic).
Seemingly paradoxical, metabolic rate is actually increased in short-term fasting. For some concrete numbers, studies have shown an increase of 3.6% – 10% after 36-48 hours (Mansell PI, et al, and Zauner C, et al). This makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline/noradrenaline) sharpens the mind and makes us want to move around. Desirable traits that encouraged us to seek for food, or for the hunter to kill his prey, increasing survival. At some point, after several days of no eating, this benefit would confer no benefit to survival and probably would have done more harm than good; instead, an adaptation that favored conservation of energy turned out to be advantageous. Thus metabolic rate is increased in short-term fasting (up to 60 hours).”

Add to the fact that fasting automatically cuts your calories for the fasting days/hours … and … that your metabolic rate is increased and you have a pretty good recipe for fat loss … NOT … “saving fat”.
What’s more, as you’re about to see you can lose a LOT of fat by not eating.
The ULTIMATE proof of all these points is coming up …

How Long Can You SAFELY Go Without Eating? And How Much Fat Can You Lose?

It was 1968 — the year before the summer of love (I don’t know this because I was there, but that’s what I’m told).
A 27 year old man was VERY obese … extremely overweight … he weighed a whopping 450lbs!
He went on a medically supervised fast.
Here’s what he did:

Drank water
Took vitamins
Did not eat or drink anything else.

He Fasted For 1 year and 2 weeks — 54 weeks — 382 days!

The questions are:

Did this man burn fat for energy? The energy to survive was coming from SOMEWHERE, he didn’t eat ANYTHING for over a year …
Did he go into a completely “catabolic” state where he burnt muscle… instead of … fat? I’d say there was some muscle loss after an ENTIRE year of no food … BUT … he burnt MOSTLY fat (otherwise, he would be dead because your body will not function without muscle).
Why did he burn mostly fat? Because he was 450lbs — severely overweight — and fat is stored energy that gets used when you stop eating (or aren’t eating enough)

This is just common sense!
And what were the total results?

He Lost 275 Pounds!

Now, here’s the point in the argument where people like our commenter will say something like:

“You will go so far backwards if you ever go almost an entire day without eating …”

Which is an attempt to say:

“sure he lost all that weight, but it probably ruined his metabolism, and his body was so catabolic, he lost too much muscle mass, and he’ll regain all that weight back, blah blah blah”

Well, here’s what you should know:
The fast took place in 1968 and the paper wasn’t published until 1973. At that time, he had gained back only 6 lbs.
You can read the full abstract here, where it states:

“A 27-year-old male patient fasted under supervision for 382 days and has subsequently maintained his normal weight.”

Also, and just as importantly, the abstract of the study says this:

“Prolonged fasting in this patient had no ill-effects.”

So What’s The Bottom Line?

Don’t believe “bro science”.
What is Bro Science?
It’s when people repeat “facts” about health, diet and fitness that they keep hearing … without … ever examining the evidence for themselves.
Don’t believe the hype!

Short fasts WILL primarily burn fat for energy
Short fasts will NOT make your body eat all its muscle
Fasting does NOT make your body “save fat”
Short, smart, fasting will NOT make you “go backwards” in your weight loss goals
24 hr or less fasting is a piece of cake compared to what your body is capable of

All that being said, here’s my disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: PLEASE do NOT go without food or water for that long without medical supervision. I would never recommend a fast longer than 24 hours. You don’t NEED to do that to lose weight, or be healthy, or for any other reason.

Make Your Window 7 Working Faster

2011-08-05T22:52:00.000+05:30

The Microsoft Windows 7 operating system has been designed for delivering better speeds than its predecessors. However, as time passes by, the laptop/PC might tend to get slower. This is not exactly the fault of the OS. As the matter of fact, it is a common problem faced by many operating systems.

The major reasons for this are accumulation of junk in the system or a highly stuffed hard drive or running of too many unnecessary services and programs. Here we shared a few essential tips that can help speed up Windows 7 performance on laptops or computers. Hope it helps!

Visual and Sound Related

1. Using minimal Visual Effects

Disabling certain (or all) visual effects can definitely enhance performance. To disable visual effects, do the following:

Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
In the window that appears, click on Advanced system settings in the left side pane.
In the Advanced tab, under Performance Section, click on Settings
In the Performance Options window (refer figure) that appears, under Visual Effects tab, disable the options that you do not need. Or simply selecting ‘Adjust for best performance‘ will disable all options.
After disabling the option, click Apply and then OK.

Doing the above might make the screen less attractive. But, the performance will surely get a boost.

2. Using minimal Sound Effects

For disabling sound effects, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type mmsys.cpl and press Enter
In the Sound window (refer figure) that appears click on Sounds tab
Set the Sounds scheme to ‘No Sounds‘
You could set only the essential sounds if needed in the Program Events, by selecting the specific event and then choosing the sound from the Sounds drop-down menu below.
You can as well disable the "Play Windows Startup sound" option.
After the settings are done, click Apply and OK.

Software and Services related

1. Run a trusted Anti-Virus program

Ensure that you have a good anti-virus software loaded on your laptop/computer. This will ensure that no malware or spyware gets planted in your system. Without such protection software, there are chances of third party malware and virus being installed or stored on your system, causing harmful effects and also eating up precious space.

2. Install only essential software

Ensure that you install only that software which you need. If you install any trial software and find out that you don’t really need it, uninstall and delete it immediately. Else, they might hog precious disk space, RAM and processor cycles. If you’ve installed a software, which you are unable to get rid of, and which is hampering the normal functioning of your laptop, then you might have to format your hard drive. Be aware that formatting your hard drive might wipe out all your data. Therefore it is best you take a back-up before going ahead with formatting.

3. Disable or make unneeded services Manual

Some processes and services, which might not really be necessary, are by default made to start automatically once the system starts up. They will consume RAM as well as the processor’s attention, slowing down other important tasks. It is best to disable them. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type services.msc and press Enter
Go to Services & Applications > Services. You’ll see the Services window (refer figure).
Right-click on a service that you wish to set to manual or disable. If the service is already started, Stop it first.
Once the service is stopped, again right-click on it and select Properties.
In the Startup type, you can either set the service to Manual, if you would be using it later, or Disable it, if not needed.
Once done, you can close the window.

4. Disabling Unwanted Start-up programs to speed up System Start-up

Some programs are set to start during system start-up. These might slow down the start-up process. Programs that are not really needed during start-up can be disabled. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type msconfig and press Enter.
In the System Configuration window (refer figure), go to Startup.
Uncheck the box next to those processes that are not important for start-up. This will disable them.
Once you’ve disabled the processes, click Apply and OK.

Hard Drive related

1. Clean up the hard drive

Remove unwanted files, like temp files, downloaded program files, recycle bin, etc. You could use Disk Cleanup option to do this, as follows:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
The system will first calculate how much space can be freed up this way. In the Disk Cleanup window (refer figure) that appears, select the files in that need to be deleted under the Files to delete list.
For deleting ‘System Restore‘ and ‘Shadow copy‘ files, click "Clean up system files" and then on "More Options" tab
Finally click OK. You’ll be prompted again before the deletion. Click Yes.

2. Enable Write caching on device

This is an option which allows the OS to flush changed data to the hard disk when the system is idle, so that performance is not affected when in use. For enabling this, do the following:

Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
In the window that appears, click on Device Manager in the left hand pane.
In the next window that appears, expand Disk drives.
The drop-down list will show the hard drive. Right-click on it and select Properties.
Click the Policies tab in the Device Properties window (refer figure).
Check the box next to "Enable write caching on the device"
You can as well check the box next to "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" and then click OK.

Note: However, there is one disadvantage in enabling these options – if there is a power outage or a system crash, data might be lost or corrupted. If you have a secondary power supply, like a UPS, you could go ahead with checking these options.

3. Perform Disk Defragmentation

When there is no sufficient space to store in a hard drive, the OS splits the file into parts and stores it in different areas on the hard drive. Defragmenting allows all these parts to be stored in contiguous memory locations. For defragmenting disk do the following:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
In the window (refer figure) that appears, click on the drive that you want to defragment and then click Analyze disk.
This will estimate the time required for the process. When done click on Defragment disk.
Once done you can either View Report or click Close.

These pretty much sum up the small things that you can do, to make a big difference to your Windows 7′s performance. If you have some personal tips you’ve done yourself to improve the performances, we’d like to hear from you.
