Several years ago a famous Russian payment system named Fethard has faced problems just like these. Funds were frozen for an undefined period of time. I haven’t seen any changes during last years, and I was happy I had no money there. But most people that had funds there have not received them yet. Since I have been living online for last 7 years, I think I can give some advices to newcomers.

1. Do not store big amount of funds on Online Payment Processor accounts. These systems are not as trusty as bank accounts and bank issued credit cards. If your account is blocked, you’ll have to wait until the situation is resolved.

2. Do log in to your online accounts frequently. I have an issue with Moneybookers, that’s why I already know that it is important. You should log in at least once a week to ensure that there are no problems.

3. Ensure that all the necessary verification steps are done. Most online payment systems require to upload documents, recent utility bills, etc. It is a good practice to contact them to find out whether you can do anything to verify your account. If something goes wrong, it is important to have a verified account.

4. Write down all the contact details for these payment systems. If their site goes down, you can get in touch with them using these numbers. Some payment providers have even ICQ support (Like Epassporte’s Michael).

5. Do not send money to unauthorized and potentially fraudulent accounts. Even if you’re planning to deal with some stuff like that, create a separate account and don’t touch your official one

6. Do not leave payment memos blank. If you perform any transfers using your online accounts, make sure that your payments have “human readable” destinations.

7. Withdraw your funds frequently. This seems to be easy enough, the only thing is you need to have funds to withdraw. This means: receive as many funds as possible

Hope this information saves you from potential financial losses.

Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.

To try it out you need to configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers.

If you decide to try Google Public DNS, your client programs will perform all DNS lookups using Google Public DNS.

How to do this in Linux? If you are a console fun, you should edit the /etc/resolv.conf file by entering these values:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Google promises to speed up your browsing experience, and to improve your security. Not sure about the speed, but security is the thing you need to think about. I have recently tried Comodo DNS and was very unsatisfied with its speed. Google should release something that should be faster than my ISP’s DNS, for me to use their service . In fact, users from small countries will see the difference, like I did.

Google Groups have relatively small amount of user warnings, and this service seems to be stable enough. You’re welcome to give it a try to decide.

• Date of domain registration
• PR: Domain PageRank.
• BL: Total number of links to domain by Yahoo.com.
• Number of links from pages with PageRank 0..10.
• Number of links from domains in .gov, .mil, .edu, .ru, .de, .fr, .es domain zones.
• YahooDir: Presence of the domain in Yahoo Directory.
• DMOZ: Presence of the domain in DMOZ.

I won’t try to explain everything about these parameters here, but you are welcome to take a look at a service I found recently. It’s domain4seo.com . These guys process domain lists and offer you the most interesting SEO domains. The price seems to be affordable for the people who are dealing with domain names, and the price for one days looks good too. It’s a pity they don’t have a free test, but when you start processing endless domain lists from registrars and domain auctions, you will consider it a good way to save your time.

I don’t encourage you to give it a try, but you can add it to your bookmarks to use it when you need a good SEO domain.

People get accustomed to nice things very quickly. Thus after using Gmail (with its speed, filters, labels, huge disk space and etc.) we don’t even want to deal with hosting email. Unfortunately almost all the Web hosting providers cannot offer great email service; but that’s ok because no one is great at everything.

Can you get the power of Gmail using your own domain name? Fortunately, you can! Moreover some web hosts already have such an option built into control panel. Still if your hosting provider doesn’t have this option, don’t worry because you can set it up yourself. The only thing you should do is to follow the instructions…

Step 1 – Creating an account at Google Apps
Go to Google Apps and create a free account (sign up for the Standard Edition). However you can use the Premier Edition instead and get some special features, but it will cost you $50 per user per year. You will need to introduce the domain name and the necessary account information in order to set up the account.

Step 2 – Verification of your domain name
At this point Google needs to verify your domain name (i.e. if you are the rightful owner of the domain). Click on “Verify domain ownership”. Actually there are 2 ways you can do that:

1) uploading an HTML file containing a validation key to the root of your server (if you are not familiar with DNS settings, this would be the simplest and easiest option);
2) changing the CNAME record of your domain name to one specified by Google

You should keep in mind that the validation process may take up to 48 hours. Moreover there is one thing I would like to mention… If you are in the Google Apps Dashboard select Service Settings –> Email and under Web Address click on “Change URL”.  I recommend clicking on the “Change URLs for all domain services” because in this way you will be able to use all Google Apps. Here are the examples of custom entries:

http://mail.domainname.com

http://docs.domainname.com

http://start.domainname.com  etc…

Step 3 – Modifying MX records
This step is probably the hardest one… However there is no need to worry because it’s quite doable.
Your MX records are managed by your domain host or sometimes by domain registrator, if you have “Managed DNS” option enabled. Generally you can set custom DNS setting for your domain name. In order to make Google receive your email you need to replace your MX records with the ones of Google servers.  To do so just access your domain DNS settings (in case you don’t know how you can do this, contact the customer support service) and change current MX records (or add them if you don’t have ones) to the ones provided by Google:

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM   30
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30

Please visit Google Docs for additional info.

After that you just need to activate you email and wait. Altogether it may take up to 48 hours for the DNS records to be updated[v2]. As soon as they are changed you will be able to access your new custom Gmail login at mail.yourdomain.com. When logged into Gmail, you can access your domain settings simply by clicking on “Manage this domain”. Here you can change whatever you want (add new users, configure your mailboxes, change the Gmail logo to your own logo, etc.).
Hopefully everything is clear. Please let me know if I missed something.

So the initial state was:

<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/4HwMzUAbfWg&hl=ru&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/4HwMzUAbfWg&hl=ru&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>

And after my modification it became:

<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/4HwMzUAbfWg&hl=ru&fs=1&rel=0“></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/4HwMzUAbfWg&hl=ru&fs=1&rel=0” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>

This simple parameter will save you from unwanted videos displayed at your pages.

Big Boards has the database of active forums.  If you would like to search for forums related to your website, than that’s just for you. Certainly, there are queries to Google, that do the same, but you don’t need to know Google query syntax to locate the forums you really need. There are various options that allow you to see the forum popularity, you may sort forums by engine, etc. If you’re planning to do forum marketing for your site, that’s probably the best idea to use Big Boards.

Let me tell some words about the service I’ve discovered. It’s name is Webcron and it has already 30K+ members. It allows you to launch any script installed on your webserver or shared hosting account at any time. It is a web-based implementation of the Crontab under Unix/Linux and the Task Scheduler under Windows.

If you own a dedicated or run a site on a paid hosting, you should already have cron jobs installed. This service will help you if your site is located on a free hosting and you’re not allowed to execute cron jobs.

Today we’re launching SearchWiki, a way for you to customize search by re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on search results. With just a single click you can move the results you like to the top or add a new site. You can also write notes attached to a particular site and remove results that you don’t feel belong. These modifications will be shown to you every time you do the same search in the future. SearchWiki is available to signed-in Google users. We store your changes in your Google Account. If you are wondering if you are signed in, you can always check by noting if your username appears in the upper right-hand side of the page.

The changes you make only affect your own searches. But SearchWiki also is a great way to share your insights with other searchers. You can see how the community has collectively edited the search results by clicking on the “See all notes for this SearchWiki” link.

What does this really mean? I don’t think I input the same queries every day, if I don’t intent to promote my site for this key phrase. Usually my search terms are different and I can’t see the reason to delete or manage the search results: if I’m searching for some information, I get what I need (Thanks, Google) and don’t come back to the same page anymore.

I’ve checked what’s shown for linux terms. Almost nothing at the moment as people don’t yet know what do these little arrow and “X” signs do. But when I checked Searchwiki contents for a competitve keyword, I’ve found that 53 notes were recorded for “car insurance”.

My personal opinion at this time is that this instrument will be widely used by SEO webmasters. Though Google tells that Searchwiki doesn’t affect general search results, I think that this function will be implemented some time later. But… if it’s done, there will be SEO wars, when webmasters will try to pull don concurents’ sites from SERP…

Let’s see how it comes. At the moment, I’ve moved all my sites to the top and I’m happy

It really works with the code you have. It’s a common kind of PHP protection and this tool reveals the opinion that base64 encoding is secure and it’s enough for code protection. If you hae any ideas on how to protect the PHP code, you’re welcome to post them in your comments.

Zend, Ioncube, etc are not enough as there are some paid services that offer “dezend” and “deioncube”. Code obfuscation… hmm, it just increases the time used to modify such a code, but doesn’t really help.

I would like to have my PHP scripts protected, but I don’t know any good protection method at the moment.
