Verdict

First of all, it actually took me over 2 hours to do all the research, editing and posting so I really hope you guys find this useful. It is much easier to make a blog post than creating a list of a pillar article. This is the third list and I am not sure when I will be ready with the next one. Besides, you should have at least 30 “get paid to blog” sites by now.

I did my best to check out the relevancy and legitimacy of all the websites but I still suggest that you do your own research before you sign up. You might get rejected by some so don’t worry about that, just check out all of them and work hard—that is what pays off at the end!

Last but not the least, I hope you guys are following my posts. I will be going in more details and work on some advanced money making guides in the couple of days.

Bloggers make money by posting one-time ads on their blogs. It is pretty simple and I believe all can do this.

Latest Update: Some Things You Should Know is a post from: MasterMind Blogger

Photo credit goes to wordpress-templates.com

I use WordPress as the backend of almost all of my websites and blogs. I am addicted to it, now I don’t know if that’s a good sign. Most of the time I am digging it to learn new codes and find flaws or glitches. As you all know, wordpress is the most popular blogging platform, it is easy to customize and free of cost. You can easily create an amazing page or a blog with the help of the plugins, widgets and ready-made templates.

Ok, now the real deal: Recently, I found out that a bunch of blogs running on WordPress were exploited by hackers. You should stop what you are doing right now and read and learn whatever I have to say today.

Security of blogs and websites is very important and I believe I should have made this post earlier. Today, I will try my best to address the need for security effectively.

Recently, some of my online buddies notified me of this exploit and how their wordpress blogs got infected with iFrame interjections. In simple terms, what this means is that the hacker places a code within bunch of WordPress files and folders including /themes, /plugins, /wp-content, /wp-includes, page.php, index.php etc. The hacker gets in your mySQL database and adds all these pesky iframe codes to all the pages and posts.

Common Questions:

Q. Why and how does my site get exploited/hacked?

There are several possibilities:

• Your computer might be infected with a Trojan or virus that transmits all your personal and ftp details of your site.
• You might have visited an infected site (these are mainly created by scammers).
• You might have downloaded a corrupted wordpress plugin that was infected with a virus. (not all wordpress plugins are legit).

Q. How many hackers can attack my blog?

Your blog can get exploited by one or even several hackers. If this happens, it will be quite annoying and time consuming to clean all the mess.

Q. How do I know if the attack was carried out by one individual or many?

This is simple, if the attack was carried out by one person, the iframe code would be the same. If it was done by several, the specific iframe code would be different for several sites. It is quite easy to search your database for “iframe” but then it is difficult if the files/codes are encoded and executed as a script.

Q. How to avoid getting exploited?

There could be several other ways to avoid getting hacked and if you have something new to contribute then put it up in comments. Here are some of my suggestions to stay safe:

1. First, make sure you have a good anti-virus installed on your system. Set it up to update automatically or you can do this manually when new updates are available. Most anti-virus tools scan your computer on restart or once a week. If you don’t have this option setup, do it manually when required. I use NOD32 and Spyware Doctor which I think are the best. NOD32 is very light on your system, takes the least space, auto updates and performs really well. To name a few more, you can also use Bit defender, Avast and AvG. (Please stay away from Norton, I personally think they are useless, takes up more space and slows down your system)

2. Most of us use a FTP client for accessing the files in our server. I use the FileZilla client which is fast, free and user friendly. When using a FTP client, make sure you go through a secure connection. Most FTP clients and websites offer some sort of encryption so you should be safe. When entering your User/Pass, just take a look at the URL and make sure it is not funny looking.

3. If you are setting up WordPress for the first time then change your database table prefix. In simple terms: the default database prefix is “wp_” and most of us ignore to change this. The hacker usually will look for such prefix and set up the virus to exploit them. If your table prefix is “wp_” or “wp1_” or even “wordpress_”, then changing it will bring your WordPress site security to a higher level.

4. Download all your WordPress plugins from the main site, wordpress.org. Try to avoid 3^rd party websites as much as possible.

5. Backup your /wp-content folder and your mySQL database regularly. You can use WP-DB-Backup for your database but, however, you have to manually backup the /wp-content folder. If by any chance your wordpress blog gets exploited, you can easily revert to the last working stage.

Things to do when your WordPress blog gets hacked

Do not panic and take it easy. If you keep backups of your files and database, you should not worry much.

• Change your FTP password
• Re-Install a fresh WordPress
• Set up your theme and plugins (the ones you use on your blogs)
• Import your previous and working mySQL database (the one who backup frequently)
• It should be working just fine now

What if I don’t have backups of  mySQL database?

You better not say that .. I have always mentioned how important it is to backup your files. If you have been following me and my blog, please I request everyone to make frequent backups of your files and database.

Anyways, if you don’t have backups then it gets a little complicated but not impossible:

1. Install the latest working version of wordpress
2. Set up a theme and plugins that you use.
3. Scan through and check each and every HTML file in your server. Also check the files that seem suspicious. Usually the exploit/code is placed at the bottom of files (it could be a script of a HTML iframe code)
4. Login to your mySQL database and scan through the files– run a search for the following:

Check this out if you need help in locating the wp_posts mentioned above

You may find the following plugins useful:

• WP Security Scan
• Secure WordPress
• WordPress Exploit Scanner
• WP-DB-Backup
• WordPress Backup

I tried to be accurate and to the point. I hope you know the importance of security of your blog after reading this post. Prevention is better than cure. There might be more to this and maybe I am missing out several stuffs but, there will be several follow-ups and i will keep you updated. Just make sure you subscribe and stay in the loop.Check Out Related Posts:

The Recent WordPress Blog Hacks and How To Prevent Them is a post from: MasterMind Blogger

I know I have been out for a while and couldn’t write much on this blog. So guys please don’t hate me for that. I have been really busy researching on the new twitter ad platform “promoted tweets” and facebook ads; there will be a detailed post on these case studies pretty soon.  I also have been working on my forums and few other projects. Besides, I have several exams coming up in a week. Those of you didn’t know, I am currently pursuing a degree in Business administration/entrepreneurship and computers so you know that it gets a little tough at times.

Anyways, today, I wanted to officially announce the launch of BlogMaster Point. It is a forum dedicated to bloggers and only bloggers. I don’t think the idea is something new but I am sure that you don’t see such forums that often. Most of them are either inactive or paid forums so BlogMaster Point should definitely stand out.

So Why Did I Think About BlogMaster Point?

Usually, I write for people and provide tips to help them succeed in blogging and money making ventures. I realized that it is not always possible to respond to every single email I receive or even respond to tons of comments throughout my blog network. A forum is a community where all like-minded can communicate and interact with each other. So, for example, if you have a question regarding blogging, seo, monetizing etc that needs a quick response, then, you can simply create a thread and post your query there.  I am sure there are plenty of professional bloggers and experts on board who would love to help you out and provide valuable information.

Now, you can see how this really makes my work easier.  In this way, you don’t have to wait for me to respond to a question since there will be tons of contribution from other members. I think this is a great idea although the idea itself is not new. However, I will do my best to make this forum unique and stand out in the blogosphere.

Why Should I join and Whats in for me?

In Simple terms: Blogmaster point was created to connect all the bloggers and entrepreneurs.

I know that that there are other similar forums out there but I believe in creating a difference and bringing out something new to the table. BlogMaster Point is free for everyone since I believe sharing knowledge shouldn’t have a price tag on it

So what’s the deal: Weeks ago, I made a post in Salman Ahsan dot Com giving a brief description about Blogmaster Point. I also have mentioned about a special section in the forum which is the VIP section. The super moderators of the forums, premium members and I will use this section to post and share tons of freebies, premium content, tools, products, e-books and other valuable information. You can also make personal requests and we will take care of it. Since the forum is quite new, the VIP section is still under construction but once it is up, it will be booming.

Now, here is the best part— the first 500 members to BlogMaster Point will get FREE access to the VIP section for 6 months. Now that’s a crazy deal and an opportunity that you don’t want to miss out. Beside, you have nothing to lose but gain a lot. I am sure you are wondering what is going to happen after the 6 months , well first of all, you should know that most popular forums charge you a small monthly fee to gain access to their board. I am not going to do that right now but in the upcoming days, the VIP section will be a paid section in this forum. Believe me, the amount will be so less compared to what you will get that it will not hurt your wallet at all. I am dead serious about BlogMaster Point and in order to maintain the servers and bear other expenses related to this forum, I have to charge a little fee . But hey, keep that aside for now because you have 6 long months to enjoy and even after that, I bet you will want to stick with it.

Last but not the least, we are still working on the forums layout and theme so if you see something strange or weird, do not freak out but remain calm. If you have any suggestions or feedback then please feel free to pass them on. I would love to hear from you. So, head up to Blogmaster Point, register and introduce yourself in the Introduction section. And please don’t forget to upload your avatar/display pic. I want to see how good looking you are

If you have any question, you can post it below. I will see you on board. Till then, take it easy…

Account Suspended

I have always wanted to talk about this. I should have done this post earlier because a lot of people have already suffered the consequences.

Whatever I am going to write today is totally based on my experiences. First of all, you all should know that twitter is not just a silly platform where you update your status and spam others; it is much more than that. Twitter is constantly improving their services and I am sure you can see the changes.

When twitter was launched in 2006, it didn’t have that many rules. You could do almost everything– from sending mass DMs to following massive people. Now why would you follow random people? Well of course, you want to be popular so you are expecting the person you follow to follow you back. If this is what is in your mind then please forget it— Twitter has changed a lot. You should go through their TOS which most people ignore. To be honest, they don’t have many rules to follow and if you do it straight, you will never have to suffer the consequences.

Now back to the topic; two of my twitter accounts which are linked to my other blogs were managed by a team member. The market has been saturated by tons of twitter tools that help you increase your followers. I finally decided to test drive and find out the best tool so, I asked my team to try out several of them using my other two twitter accounts.

The result—it went smooth for almost a month and a two but recently, I came to know that both of the accounts got suspended. Now imagine how it feels to gain almost 10k followers over couple of months and then losing them in a moment. Believe me, you don’t want this to happen.

So now what—I contacted the twitter support and explained them and finally got my accounts reinstated.

If you are thinking about breaking twitter’s TOS all the time, getting suspended and then requesting them to reinstate your account—you should stop using their service because this will never work. Erase this thought from your mind and focus on how to maintain your account.

Currently, twitter allows you to follow less than 1000 people on twitter on a daily basis. If you mass follow, you will be banned. I would not suggest you to use any random tools to increase your followers. There are some that really work but again, if you go against the TOS, even the tools are useless. It is not the machine, it is the user who does thing and faces the consequences. I strongly suggest that you choose couple of people who are in your niche and follow them.  Limit your following to 50-100 per day if you want to be on the safe side.

DO NOT MASS FOLLOW RANDOM PEOPLE—THIS WILL LEAD YOUR ACCOUNT TO GET SUSPENDED

Now, massive following is not the only reason that can get your account suspended but it is the most valid reason. There are several more causes such as Spamming, attacking an individual verbally etc that can also lead your account to get banned.

What to do when you account gets Suspended?

If your account gets suspended for aggressive following behaviors, you will need to send an email or contact the support and tell them that you have read and understood the TOS and will never perform such acts again.

First, find out why your account is suspended and then also check out Following Best Practices help page.

Verdict

Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as “SMS of the Internet. As a good twitter citizen, we should deliver the best and freshest most relevant information to people. Do not simply treat twitter as a social network, but an information network.

PS: Make sure you follow twitter rules because they are dead serious about it and they will not tolerate any spam, aggressive following and abuse their service.

How to Avoid Getting Your Account Suspended on Twitter is a post from: MasterMind Blogger

In one of my previous posts, I have talked about squidoo and how it works. I hope most of you found it useful and have already started dominating this giant social network.

Before you start reading about gaining traffic to your lens, you need to know the basic:

Once you have created a lens, you don’t want to sit there and expect the lens to blossom. You need to put your work into it to gain exposure. Honestly, squidoo is loved by google and it doesn’t take much to get a good lens ranked in Google. There are several ways to do this but today, I will mention the top 10 methods to get traffic to your lens and increase its ranking within squidoo community and also Google. I have used this method since the beginning and it still works like a charm.

1. Once you have created your first lens, make sure you visit the squidoo discussion forums, Squidu and let the other lensmasters know about it. You may post links to your lenses in these forums: Introduce yourself to the community and then request for a feedback on your new lens. There are tons of experts who will respond and provide useful feedback which will not only help you create a better lens but also become a professional squidoo lensmaster.

2. Create lensographies and your bio creatively and make sure you include all possible details about you. People visiting your lens want to know the author. If you, the author is interesting, they may become your fan and favorite your lenses. Squidoo allows us to use HTML to design our bio so it’s not that difficult to impress a visitorJ.

3. Social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tagfoot can give a great boost to your lenses. Tweet about your latest lens and also create a fan page where you can post and discus about your latest lenses. You can also submit your lens to various popular social bookmarking sites. Just remember that when you promote your lenses on StumbleUpon or Digg, be a little careful and do not overdo it as too much endorsement on these sites is considered SPAM and thus, may lead your account to get banned. Use these two very carefully and sparingly. You may want others to submit the lens for you in such directories. If they like your stuff, they will definitely share and spread the word.

4. Submit your lenses to Squidoo related directories such as Lensroll, Squidirectory, The Isle of Squid, and Squoogle. There are lots of link directories I can mention but the drawback is that most search engines ignore these directories, except Squoogle and Lensroll which are worth mentioning. All the five mentioned are popular and used by the mass lensmasters. They are similar to Digg and can give you some link juice.

5. One awesome way of getting traffic is to check out others’ lenses and comment on them. Now, this is one of the best methods because you are not only getting exposure for your lens but also engaging in a conversation with the lensmaster. This builds up your rep and a relationship with other lensmasters. So, whenever you create a lens, they might drop by and leave some love. Join the SquidU forum, try to be active on the board and participate whenever possible. This increases your chance to get noticed. If you have a question or a tip, create a thread and go for it.

6. Include the link of your lens in your email, blogs, comments, articles or on any profile that you may be using for participating in online communities. This is the easiest method and can be done by any.

7. LOTD! What the heck is that? LOTD stands for “Lens Of The Day”. It is not easy to achieve this badge. There is a competition and whoever’s lens is the best is blessed with this title. Kimberly takes care of this section, she doesn’t take bribes so you need to work harder. The best way to get picked, really, is just to be kind, highly creative, try new things, and make lenses that are true to you. Why do you want to take part in Lens of the Day competition and nominate your lens? Well it can bring massive amount of traffic to your lens. You might get tons of instant followers.

8. Squidcast is another feature that you will come across as soon as you have created your first lens. Use Squidcasts to notify your fans and followers when you update your lenses. If you update your lenses regularly, the new content is bound to attract reader’s attention.  When you have a fan following you can dispatch squidcasts to announce your new or updated lenses. Lenses have a rating system, which means that any lensmasters who drop by have a chance of rating your lens from 0 to 5 stars. The latest, updated lens will attract more users and has greater chance of getting a 5 star.

9. SQUIDUtils – Squidoo Tools and Utilities, although it is for the Expert Lensmasters, if you play with it for a few days, you will find this very useful. This is the place where you will find complementry utilities and tools for your lenses on Squidoo. This site also gives us several features that you won’t find in the squidoo dashboard. If you are an Amazon Associate, then there are some amazing tools that will spice up your lenses and make you more money. Just go, check it out and let me know how it worked for you.

10. Last but not the least, if you are a blogger and want to make extra money from squidoo, the best way is to head to squidoo and create an amazing lens; monetize the lens with money making modules and write a great article that others can it useful. You can create a lens on your niche or a how-to lens which is popular. Link the lens to your blog and create a blog post which is relevant and related to the topic of the lens. Include the link of the lens to your blog post. If you have a good following, you are not only getting traffic to your blog but also the lens. The best part is, you are also getting a valuable backlink from a high PR-7.

Squidoo is pretty fun and I have been using it for almost 2 years. I still wish I discovered it earlier. I will not be posting squidoo related stuffs here that often because I have already dedicated a blog to squidoo and you can check it out at WhySquidoo.

Freemium: Ultimate Twitter Pack, 11 Super Bonuses and a Sweet Surprise is a post from: MasterMind Blogger

I have been using squidoo for a while for various purposes. It has been almost 2 years and I have created more than 1000 lenses so far. Now I am sure you will ask me to show you the 1000 lenses and before you do that let me clarify it. I discovered squidoo in mid 2008 through a Google search and was hooked since then. It took me a while to understand the way it worked but I am adventurous; I dug deep into the squidoo world and learned a lot from designing to layout and coding. Couple of months later, I started creating some decent lenses, wala! Usually it doesn’t take that long to learn squidooing but once you master that, you can create an awesome lens in less than an hour. I created tons of lenses for me and also started helping others create a custom one for a small fee. This is how i reached the 1000 lens milestone

Today, I decided to enlighten everyone about the power ofSquidoo which is one of the largest social media network.

A Little About Squidoo

Squidoo was founded by the elite marketing guru Seth Godin who has also authored several fascinating books. Squidoo gets more than 12 million page views every month. Squidoo has changed the way people donate to charity online. Squidoo gives everyone a voice, and the opportunity to make (free) donations big and small, month in and month out, to organizations that matter.  You can read more about this at How Squidoo works with charity

What is a Lens and Who is a Lensmaster?

Squidoo allows you to create pages on almost any topic except adult and gambling niches. The pages are called lenses and the creator is known as the lensmaster.

So Whats The Deal?

Ok, so why create a lens? Squidoo has a Google Page Rank-7 and is very popular with the search engines. A lens is loaded almost every 1/4 of a second. Technorati says that Squidoo gets blogged about 2000+ times a day.

A lens do not only give you backlinks to your own website but with several money making modules, you can make money from squidoo.
