noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 6 Jan 2017 02:02:00 -0800

Nowadays everyone likes to purchase from the website, and online transaction is a big part of that. In a recent report, cybercrime found that more than 30,000 websites are infected every day with malware and their data stolen by unknown hackers. The primary reason for website hacking and malware attacks are using old version CMS (Content Management System) and plugin for long-time and sometimes not using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate on the website.

What Happen When You Do Not Use Data Encryption

Medium and Small scale business sites such as personal blogs, local stores, and local news sites are easy targets for online hackers because those website does not plan to spend on their website data security. Without encryption security, hackers can steal your private data such as email address, password, and credit card details and can easily misuse them.

If you are running an online business or any online activity where customers need to share personal details, then your website needs SSL encryption protection.

What is SSL Certificate

SSL Certificate creates an encrypted connection between server and browser through a key pair (a public and a private key). These certificates also contain website owner information, which is known as "Subject.".

How SSL Certificate Works

To get an SSL certificate, you need to first create a CSR (Code Signing Request) on your website hosting server. This process gives you two pair of keys (Public and Private Key) file. Once you received the CSR data file, you need to send the public key file to SSL Certificate issuer also known as Certificate Authority or CA. When SSL Certificate issuer received the public key file, they create a structure to match your private key. The SSL Certificate issuer can never see your private key data. After the completion of SSL certificate verification, when a browser tries to access your website protected by SSL certificate, the browser and server connect through SSL connection. Anything sends from the browser in encrypted form through public key can only decrypt from the private key install on the server.

Benefits of SSL Certificate

Any online business whether large, medium or small scale required SSL certificate to meet Card Payment Industry guidelines. PCI (Payment Card Industry) verify the SSL certificate is obtain from a trusted SSL authority and providing a secure private connection in the pages where customer needs to enter their personal details.

How to Make Money Using Social Media?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 00:09:00 -0800

In September and October 2013, Facebook had a dramatic price rebound, and the Twitter IPO has been in the news. The basis for unlocking social media company value is using models of successful advertising.

Social Media and Advertising

Companies that deal in social media are legitimate websites on which to advertise, just like Yahoo or Google. Facebook and now Twitter will make money the same way that Google already does. Advertising on the Internet is a rapidly growing market. 89% of advertisers in a 2013 Nielsen report use free advertising in social media, and 75% use paid advertising in social media. 64% of companies surveyed also stated that they expect their paid advertising budgets for social media grow throughout the rest of 2013.

Turning a Profit with Social Media

This can be an elusive goal for some people. It is much easier if you just picture social media like the big party it can be, and fit in. Don’t try to be the life of the party, though. You’ll need to learn to use the proper tools in order to make money through social media.

Leave People Wanting More

When you are using social media to promote your company or site, share things that are interesting to other people, and that have value to readers. Social media works on the pay it forward theme. Giving away valuable stuff is a good idea to get attention. Give people things with no strings attached, and they may become faithful followers.

Be Yourself

Social media cannot be used in the same way as traditional advertising. It doesn't feel or look the same. Social media sites form a community that is designed to share entertainment, expertise, information, support and comfort. You’ll need to develop a unique voice to stand out in a good way through social media. Write like a real person so that people can relate to you. Don’t be afraid to share mistakes and show your sense of humor.

Engage People in Social Media

Your target audience, once identified, should become involved with you. Ask questions and end blog postings by asking people for their feedback. Participate in discussions and make it easy for others to do the same. Using plugins to allow site visitors to comment through their Facebook profile makes it easier for people to comment, and increases the engagement of your followers. Use premium WordPress themes that attract people who are likely to do business with you.

Stay with Your Target Market

You will be more successful with social media if you go where your target audience can be found. If your traffic is up on Facebook but down on Twitter, focus on the one that is bringing in more traffic. If more people from Facebook buy from you, then there is your target market. If you have a faithful group of customers, consider them your social media marketers, and share great content with them.

Trust Is Vital

It is vitally important to gain the trust of people who may become your customers. Marketing is not a trusted area, since online vendors have always made big promises and have not always lived up to them. Companies online have a lot they need to do in order to make up for that.

Always Be Planning

There is no such thing as too much planning. Update your approach as things change. Meet with your clients at least monthly, to review current results and plan for new campaigns. You won’t be able to optimize your opportunities if you put your Facebook plans on autopilot. Contingency planning is also important. Marketing in social media is less predictable, by nature. You should be ready with a prompt response if anything happens out of the ordinary.

Cryptolocker ransomware Malware found: More than 250K PCS are at risk

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:52:00 -0800

A security research team found a new malware called “Cryptolocker ransomware” that has infected more than 200000 PCs by stealing over £600,000 in Bitcoin. According to Dell Secure Work’s counter-threat unit the malware is developed in Russia or Eastern Europe. In fact, the infection has started earlier in September 2013.

Ransomware is a new type of malware that locks away essential files on a victim’s PC. The malware aims at mapped drives, Dropbox files, and all locally connected, network attached, or cloud-based storage. The files remain locked until victim fulfills the demand of payment within 72 hours.

The concern about this malware is antivirus programs cannot remove it. Even if the victim wishes to root his PC, he cannot gain access to those encrypted files located on Cryptolocker servers. The victim can access files only if he pays the ransom amount.

According to Secureworks, the author of Cryptolocker ransomware has made strong software by using a third party certificate issued by Microsoft’s CryptoAPI. The certificate carries 2048-bit RSA public key, which is also approved by CAB forum and all leading web browsers. The author has put FAQs section for answering to question on online forums.

According to Secureworks, this malware has infected almost 250,000 systems in the first 100 days since its inception.

It is believed that the author of this malware has demanded $300 to decrypt files of victims, which were initially at $100. Cryptolocker ransomware can also increase though social media hyperlinks that seem malicious and spam mails.

Finally, if we count evolving malware, the hackers are now reaching on advance level, and the time has come to make aware innocent people who blindly trust cyber world. Hackers are always in search of such users who are not still aware about rising cyber crime. There are a number of antivirus makers are now working on this ransomware but it feels that it is not an easy task. It is sensible to update your patches and update your PC released by Microsoft to prevent from such ransomware.

Will BBM Survive on Android?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:42:00 -0700

"BlackBerry may or may not be your platform of choice, but you must hand it to them for managing a great global outreach. The release of their latest OS, the BlackBerry 10 OS along with a new series of handsets, has the world talking. What once was a company doomed to failure looks like a corporation that is dusting itself off and is getting right back on the horse.

A lot of criticism later, the folks over at BlackBerry introduced a number of third party apps to keep the users happy and to simultaneously dip into the world of apps. Another featured service that Blackberry has a claim to fame for is its instant messenger service the BlackBerry Messenger app. It has always been considered one of the first free platform messaging services and has always been generally safe and BBM spy free- -which is a reason that BlackBerry has managed to remain an enterprise favorite despite its past failure in the general market.

BBM and the New Frontier:

Recently, some interesting news has hit the market concerning BBM and the company’s attempts to magnify it for a larger audience. The BBM service is now set to hit iPhone and Android users as well- -hence becoming the definition of a cross platform app. Previously it was only applicable for use if the user wished to contact someone else that owned a BlackBerry handset. So by the end of the summer, you should be able to use your BBM to message and chat up friends with iPhone as well as Android handsets.

Some may speculate that this is a desperation move by BlackBerry but the stats don’t necessarily tell the same tale. At the moment the service has more than 60 million active users and hence is still going strong. This is a facility which allows users to send free real time messages to their contacts through a PIN code and hence is used widely by BlackBerry users, especially in areas such as the Middle East where the handsets are a success and owned by a majority of people.

The Big Question:

At the moment the entire switch and availability needs to be approved by Google and if it is then it will be a free download available at the Google Play store. Now will it really manage to make a splash and go the distance so to say on Android, a platform that is already known for rampant third party apps? Perhaps it may and perhaps it may not. If we look at the state of Android apps, then the sheer number of messaging apps that are available seem to spell disaster for BBM’s foray into the Google app ocean.

Users who wish to contact their BlackBerry counterparts generally use services such as Viber or Skype. Since WhatsApp has made its way to BlackBerry there has been a general ease in texting between the platforms but has not necessarily been a surefire solution. This outsourcing of BBM availability might indeed prove successful but the chance that already active Android users will spare time for BBM is a bit unlikely."

Google to buy Waze for $1.3 Billion

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:12:00 -0700

10, June 2013. In May, the speculation was circulated that Facebook is going to buy Waze for $1 billion. However, according to Haaretz reports, Google has finally prepared to buy Waze at $1.3 billion. However, Facebook wants to shut the operation of Waze in Israel and start the operation in California. Nevertheless, the deal fell apart because Waze wants to have its operation permanently located in Israel. In the middle of this rumor, there was also a speculation that Apple is also going to purchase Waze for $500 million.

Waze is used for catching satellite signals of member’s Smartphone that is used for generating map and data traffic. The deal between Google and Waze happened on the base that Israel would remain its service in Israel for next three years. The deal would be useful to Google as it integrates map editors and provide new resources for the service. If this deal happens, it will be a major step in Israel country towards technology and new start-ups and of course the highest profile acquisition in Israel.

The mere question is will Google shut Waze after three years extension after incorporation. It is all about future concern but the history said that Google has shut down its acquisitions after incorporation. Google wants Facebook to use Google navigation system by containing Waze’s technology into Facebook.

Since, the last year Waze has made tremendous changes in map by adding 500-million map editions across 110 countries. Waze also raised an amount of $67 million by venture capital and has portfolio of investors like Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Blue Run Ventures, and Vertex Venture Capital. The company has a portfolio of 50 million users in today’s time.

Currently Mashable contacted Google and Waze about this deal but Waze did not respond to its request while Google told Mashable about not to believe in rumors and denied the speculation of such deal. However, there is no smoke without fire and according to leaks and reports, Google and Waze have considered many points for this deal, the only question is that at what price?

No matter what the result will emerge, there is a directly advantage to Google in terms of GPS navigation and community based traffic. It will be a big leap in Google’s mapping and traffic service as Waze has millions of drivers over the world giving out real-time road info.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:06:00 -0700

The world of social networking is expanding day-by-day; either it is Facebook, Google+ or twitter. People are connected deeply with social media.

In a month of launching Pheed has achieved the top 10 social media application in the USA and the top 100 application over 33 countries.

Pheed allows users to share text, photo, video and audio clips even user can make a live broadcast. The application has become popular among teenage however company declared that Pheed is merely not for teenage but comprising the age up to 25 years. Currently Pheed is available for free online on both website and mobile application.

Use Personal VPN Services to Access Blocked Websites

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:41:00 -0700

When one thinks of blocked websites, you usually think of adult sites. However, you, might be surprised that many “normal sites” are blocked merely for daring to connect the world. Sites that encourage interaction are often censored, as are sites that feature controversial subject matter.

Two of the sites you would think to be anything but controversial are among the most blocked sites in the world: Facebook and Twitter. To you, Facebook and Twitter may only be social networking companies that help for further online discussion. However, these social media tools are often used for controversial purposes: like sharing adult content, or helping nurture rebellious causes, or reporting on questionable dealings.

In addition to social media sites, download sites such as BitTorrent and Mega Upload have also been banned, since many (if not most users) who use such sites download copyrighted content. Recently, Mega Upload felt the wrath of the U.S. Government acting on behalf of Hollywood and the music industry, by closing the site down and indicting the owner. (This happened despite celebrities speaking out for Mega Upload’s defense)

Video content sites, though they may not even share an illegal sharing, still merit government attention for the content they promote. YouTube and other video sharing sites have also been banned because of its controversial content, both amateur (videos of government atrocities) and even professional shows that it just happen to be banned in the country of origin. (China and the Middle East are both notorious for banning certain U.S. shows)

The advantage of VPN services is that they allow you to surf the Internet anonymously by cloaking the IP address. Only the VPN company itself knows what you’re doing and the best ones make it a point to erase all logging information concerning your visits. In addition to cloaking IPs, VPN hosts also allow users to securely upload and download information. This means that you could access banking information (and other sensitive information) securely through encryption.

Laws are quickly changing, and the U.S. has been one of the most engaged countries on the issue of government censorship, followed by Britain and Australia. U.S. lawmakers have tried to pass several controversial bills that empowered the state to censor questionable content. If this trend continues, it may reach a point where certain websites that feature heated political commentary or other “whistle blowing” themes might be banned entirely.

No wonder users are looking into VPN security—the freedom to surf of your own free will!

6 Ways You May Be Losing Mobile Data

Social Media Promotion Options for Blogs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 6 Feb 2013 05:27:00 -0800

If you have a social media profile set up for your business, it's natural for you to want to integrate it into your WordPress site. In fact, it makes good business sense. You have several different options for promoting your blog via social media and vice versa. Here are some of the popular ones.

Social Media Plug-ins:

Social media is so important to business these days that most Premium WordPress themes – the professional ones, in particular – include the ability for you to make it easy for your blog readership to share your posts on their social media profiles. You should definitely include these plug-ins on your WordPress install. You can also take a look at WordPress themes that are designed specifically for compatibility with social media sites. It's not a bad idea to put up an extra site if it gives you this capability.

Advertising on Social Media:

Advertising on social media sites can be done in several different ways and, done properly, it can promote your blog for relatively little money. The trick is to make certain that the promotional materials you're putting into people's news feeds show up. The procedure for doing this changes all the time. Make sure you check any updates from Facebook – because this is the one that people really worry about – and confirm that you are posting correctly and that your users have done what they need to do on their profiles to be able to see what you add to their news feeds.

The other option is advertising via purchased spots on social media sites. In reality, this hasn't been shown to be very effective. Thus far, people seem to have decided that they go to social media sites to socialize and not to shop. Ask someone when the last time they clicked on a Facebook ad was and, in all likelihood, they may well say "never".

If you want to get more publicity for your blog off of social media sites, your best bet is to take a look at the WordPress plug-ins available to help you do that. These can generally be added to your WordPress theme for no cost at all and, of course, that makes it a great option for advertising. Remember that you should have an easy way for people to share your posts at the bottom of each post and that you should have a sidebar plug-in that allows them to instantly follow your profile on any social media site on which you are active.

However, a web site that is secured with a SSL Certificate will display “https://” before the address. This stands for “Secure HTTP.”

(b) You will also see a padlock symbol on the top or bottom of the Internet browser (depending on which browser you are using).

(c) When you click on the padlock symbol on the page, it will display details of the relevant certificate with company information as verified and authenticated by the CA.

How Web 3.0 Will Work?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:59:00 -0700

Many are speculating about what exactly “Web 3.0″ will look like, but at this time their definitions vary greatly. This post is one idea, incorporating personalized search and the semantic web. What do you think?

When you use a search engine, you type particular keywords, but the engine is not able to truly understand your search. It looks for web pages that contain that word keywords of your search terms and gives the result according to that. It does not mean that every time search engine provides relevant information. Basically, it can only tell when the keyword appears on the web page.

Web 3.0 will be vastly different from today’s search experience. It does not find only keywords but understand your requests. As you search the web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you search on web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you will need to be with your question.

It would be possible that after some time you might be able to ask your browser open question like where should I go for holiday? Or where should I go for dinner? Your browser would checks its records of what you like and dislike and gives you an answer. In fact, many experts believe that Web 3.0 will act like a personal assistant. It makes your tasks easier and make your life quite easy, saving lots of time and energy. It would be possible because Web 3.0 will be able to understand information on the internet.

Internet experts believe that with Web 3.0, every user will have a unique internet profile which based on their past browsing history. Web 3.0 will use this profile for giving relevant information for the user’s search. If different people search same keywords they might get different answer as per their profile. This is the way Web 3.0 will work.

Search engines always try to provide relevant information to the users but the browser of Web 3.0 is different. It has artificial intelligence that understands requirements of the users. Web 3.0 browser is able to read the web pages like a human and gives specific result. Web 3.0 covers all the information from the web, and we can say that it is the third generation of the World Wide Web.

At the end we can say that the last result would be more intelligent web. The web that can short information much more accurately and efficiently, resulting in an internet that creates artificial intelligence.

However, this version of Web 3.0 is so theoretical that it’s practically impossible to say how it will work.

Adjusted Bounce Rate In Google Analytics with this Code

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 01:00:00 -0700

We got amazing news for all Web Masters. Now Google allows to Adjust Bounce Rate of website through Code.

Have you ever wondered how many visitors really pay attention to your website before exiting the page? Have you wondered how many of those “bounced” visitors will remember where they’ve been in future? How many of them are totally useless, how many are not?

There is a way to track this!

“Bounce rate” in Google Analytics is one of the key metrics that helps to evaluate the quality of your traffic. “Bounce” happens when the visitor exited the website right from the landing page, without going to any other page. This is a great indication on how relevant the content was for the user and how engaged they were with your website.

While working perfect for most websites, there are categories of sites where this metric is not enough.

Imagine you’re promoting a blog post that describes all the benefits of your company. The visitor might read the whole post and remember your company and products really well - they might even go to search for your product on one of the search engines straight away. However, since the visitor only looked at 1 page (exactly where the blog post is) they will be recorded as bounced visitor.

Another example if you have a description of the product right on the landing page, and your phone number on the same page. The visitor might study the description and call straight away - again, they will be recorded as a bounced visitor, as only 1 page was viewed. There are many more examples, and even traditional websites may benefit from the method described below as opposed to the standard bounce rate.

There is a solution to this - something that we call “Adjusted bounce rate”. You implement a small tweak to your Google Analytics code, which executes an event when a user has spent over a certain amount of time on the webpage. Depending on the website, the time can range from 10 seconds to few minutes - you should decide for yourself the amount of time you consider the user to be sufficiently engaged with your website or product.

Once the event is executed, the visitor is no longer counted as “bounce,” even though no additional pageview is recorded. This will mean your bounce rate will show users who have not spent a required “minimal time” on your website - the ones who have really bounced. Here is a modification to the Google Analytics code that you need to make (on the example of the latest, asynchronous code):

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
setTimeout("_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '15_seconds', 'read'])",15000);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>

The setTimeout function is the one that does the trick here, and you can set it up to whatever delay you wish (in this case, it is 15 seconds).

Moreover, since the event is created once 15 seconds lapse, you can define this event as a goal in Google Analytics, and even import this goal as a conversion to AdWords, provided the conditions are met.

We hope this small fix will allow you to track and understand the users’ behavior and quality of the traffic coming to your website more accurately, and make more informed decisions.
