Don’t worry, you are not the only one. In fact most active Internet users would use the same password more than once. Its just there are so many different website you register with, it can become difficult trying to remember all your passwords.
Little did you know, this also means you are incredibly vulnerable to various hacking attacks. Even if you have the strongest password in the world along the lines of: P4sSw0orD771bQ/
Lets imagine you are one of these people using the same password every time you register a new account. If I was to steal that password from you I would simply have to find out something you might be interested in. Lets say Football. What I do then is create a dummy website about football. When the website is ready I will drop you an email. This is where a bit of social engineering takes place. I would say something along the lines of: “Hey -your name-, I heard that www.dummyfootballsite.com gives away free tickets to world cup final bla bla bla. You should quickly sign up and grab one before its too late”
That person then goes and registers. I now have his password… to every single place he registered with. All I need now is to get into his main email account and get my hands on all sorts of usernames, pin number, accounts and transactions.
Don’t become a victim. You should now go and make sure you change all your important passwords to something unique.
Youtube now serves over 100 million video views every single day. How is that for a number? Obviously it has become quite a target for black hat webmasters and marketers trying to use some of Youtube’s traffic. One of the most popular ways of generating cash from Youtube at the moment involves creating a clever advertising video and generating tons of fake hits in order to boost that video to the top of the most viewed list. You will then make around $1000 from each video after stuffing it with referral links. If you are reading this now, thinking:”Woooow! I will go and give it a try now!” best of luck to you! You will find it quite difficult generating enough fake hits in order to end up on the first page.
I have however managed to find another interesting way of generating some traffic from Youtube…

Here is a sneaky trick that will allow you to download thousands of various products such as software and ebooks for free. Due to the nature of Alexa it will index pages that other search engines won’t. All it takes is for somebody to visit a particular page with Alexa toolbar. For example try searching Alexa for thank you for your purchase and you will find 96.000 results. Most of these pages will contain direct download links. Please note that it might be illegal for you to download these products. It is up to you to check the license of the file you are downloading as well as your local laws. Use your imagination and common sense to find even more products.
After fiddling around with blogrush i found a major downside. (After doing a bit of research it looks like I’m not the only one who noticed this. Basically to cut the story short they don’t track unique impressions/clicks. As a result one can created a simple html page on their blog and call it yourdomain.com/blogrush.html for example. All you do then is paste your Blogrush code into this text 1000 or so times. Then you can go and install the following plugin for firefox that will allow you to automatically refresh the page every x minutes. Then you just keep your computer running over the night with a constantly refreshing page and generate yourself thousands of credits. Apparently you can do the same thing with clicking…
Don’t have the money to afford some SEO tools/scripts? Apparently there is a forum that has plenty of “free” tools for you to download. Blog spammers, link development, analytical, competitor research and so on. You can apparently find it here. I was told that the forum is Russian but it has a section for English webmasters filled with useful programs and scripts to download. I was also told that you need to make an x number of posts to view certain links… usually to Rapidshare. Apparently they are a bunch of idiots in there and community itself is somewhat crap. You may well get banned for no reason but the tools they have are worth it. So i was told anyway.
PS: That post i have made on Blogrush. I think I’m onto something. I will be posting my results once i get some reliable results.
PPS: I have a few white hat posts on the way for mainstream guys.
