Its official – SEDO changed its terms for the coming year 2012. The domain parking giant changed its terms for good as conveyed in the mailer.

About the Terms
As described by SEDO.com – they have altered parking policy for domains – as directed by their premium sponsor – Google.

They changed their terms for all the domains – that are not actually parked. SEDO.com will not provide payouts for the domains that are being parked using URL forwarding.

Reason Behind
This decision is made in conjunction with their primary online advertiser – Google. Reasons are mentioned below:

• DNS parked domains are quick to load.
• DNS parked domains have less downtime.
• As, it loads quickly – therefore better CTR.

I do think it the right decision – this will not only give quality to the service – but also keeps the network healthy and fair.

We have seen that there is a sudden rise in the hacking attempts of blogs and websites – which are on wordpress platform.

With reports that hackers are getting in to wordpress sites/blogs through the plugins – as there are some plugins which have bugs and hackers utilize it – to get in to the site.

Therefore, it is always advised to keep your plugins up-to-date, so that hackers don’t get a chance to utilize the bug. But despite of all the efforts – hackers still get in to the wordpress sites and host their malicious and vulnerable codes.

Protect Your WordPress
I have tried every thing – updating plugins and installing new plugins – changing frequent passwords – but guess these all are of no help.

Then I tried the ultimate idea of changing the file permissions and bingo it helped – till now!

With File Permissions – you changed the permission so that no one can over-write it and this is what needed to protect your wordpress sites.

With no writing permission – no one from outside can edit those files.

Therefore, if you are struggling with regular hacking attempts on your wordpress platform sites – then change the file permissions – but don’t forget to update your plugins – as they are equally important.

We receive tons of emails every day and nearly 50-70% emails are junk emails – Spam is something that either you have not subscribed for or you have been forced to receive it.

Though email application do have spam blockage but they only work when they are pointed to work – in other cases – spam emails drops in your inbox only.

How to Protect
Now, you need to be sure that all junk falls in to the spam box – then you have to initiate on your own. I have been doing this for all these years – and I do think all should implement the same method.

The method of marking any spam email if you have received. The moment you open the email and you see that it is spam – don’t just delete that email – because deleting any particular spam email will not mark them spam – and may be a day later you will again receive such kind of emails.

Therefore, when you see any spam email – just hit the spam button – this will inform the email servers that particular IP or email address is generating spam – so they would either blacklist it or completely block it.

More
By marking an email spam – you are not only helping yourself – but you are actually helping others too.

A Great visionary – innovator – inventor.

Every time you appeared you shook the technology world and today again you shook the technology world. No words to describe that what world has lost.

Rest in Peace…

Hacking of wordpress blogs and sites are increasing and experts view is – hackers get in to the site through some plugin – which has some bug. Though nothing is much clear – but it is always advisable to keep the plugins and wordpress version updated, so as to protect wordpress site from any hacking.

But in worst-case scenario if still your wordpress site gets hacked then what is the solution – first of all don’t panic. Hacker has not actually hacked your complete website – but has modified the default page.

Hackers Do
Wordpress hackers don’t always try to get in to the wordpress database – they do the page hacks – by modifying the default index page with their text – which looks like it is hacked.

What to Do When Hacked
If you do witness something like this – just relax and go to the wordpress admin and click on upgrade – (If, you have latest wordpress version installed – then also) click “Re-Install Now”

By reinstalling wordpress, it will overwrite the default files and will automatically erase the hacker’s code and your wordpress site will be back online.

This method does not affect the template structure – Your wordpress website will still have previously installed wordpress template. It is one of the easiest method to get rid of hackers code from your wordpress website.

Google+ started with a bang – giving competition to facebook with its round-round circles. But this is also true that there are few glitches that have come-up.

Errors
If you are getting this error “There was a problem saving your post. Please try again.” while posting – sharing or commenting anything on Google+ then kindly watch-out for your profile page.

Your profile might have got suspended.

Not Correct
Google should have display the error saying, “Your Profile has been suspended”. As the current error message is not quite distinguished as what is the issue.

Profile Suspended on Google+
The reason of Profile suspension is because you might have not posted your personal profile. Currently Google+ only supports personal profiles and any company profile is rejected or suspended.

Avoid the following on Google+ Profile.
1: Don’t use any image or company logo – use a real human picture.
2: Write your real name or the name which friends call you.
3: Don’t post any hate speech on your profile.

In short, just keep your profile clean & real and not as if any website or company’s profile.

Conclude
Google+ is still in development stage therefore it will take some time to be in the competition group with facebook.
