Don’t you hate it when you get contacted by people and they say your site has been hacked. This is so uncool, a total waste of time and a bunch of low life idiots that has got nothing better to do then to waste their time.

Check this screenshot.

Oscommerce Website Got Hacked

PHP Website got hacked

This guy is too cute, by ftp’ing a logo, text and a song that played in the background. I give this to him that he can at least can spell and have heart. But beyond that not impressive at all.

This guy calls himself a Turk, but i won’t be surprised that he is from us, uk etc. Clearly the message that he is giving to the world is that he is the biggest loser.

Many of these so called wanna be hackers are just script kiddies. They not even hardcore, just some amateurs defacing a site. Standard and simple to do. Kids nowadays can get programs freely available on the net. Check if your Apache server has been setup properly and if not jump onto your server and replace your homepage with theirs. In this case my register globals was turned on. Simply I removed admin, removed scrap (files and hacker / bum) and my site couldn’t get hacked again. So I send out a strong message to this character, when he came back to the site to see if it is still defaced. Unfortunately he found it up and running within a couple of minutes.

Now this is the second time that one of my websites got hacked this year 2009. Both times I dealt with it and these skunks couldn’t get onto that website server again.

Moral of the story is don’t except crap from scrap!

When I started with my first website way back in the early 90s the internet was not like it is today. No video streaming, rss feeds, blogging etc. but just static websites.

On my mind was not to make money online, but just to create an about me hobby website. Those there banner ad advertising was a popular way to make money online.

So after the dot com bubble burst web pioneers like Google, Clickbank etc. pioneered new ways to make money online and allow website publishers to monetize their websites.

I started doing heavy research and find ways to make money online and earn a decent income from my websites. So I found the answers that I was looking for and implemented it.

Remember to make money online with a website or blog is not an overnight thing, but hard work and dedication. What you put in you will get out.

So I began experimenting with different money making programs and started making money online with my websites.

To make a long story short I implemented Google Adsense and started promoting affiliate website products and e-books with Clickbank.

My first earning for the month was $5 for clicks that I received from website visitors that clicked on my Google Adsense ads. The next month the $5 grew to $56 and only the third month did I hit the minimum amount of $100 to receive a cheque from Google.

Now there are lots of people and webmasters that talk of how much money they make online, but they don’t have proof. Here below I gave an example of some cheques I get monthly.

Here I have attached an example of an $300 Google Adsense that I received in a month. The cheque is in my currency ZAR.

$300 Google Adsense Check

Here is an example of a $132.36 Clickbank cheque that I received in the same same month

$132 Clickbank Cheque

Here is an example of a $260.00 Bluehost cheque that I received.

$260.00 Bluehost cheque

So from that time on my sites consistently generated money with Google Adsense and other affiliate programs.

I am making money online for years now from not just Adsense, but Clickbank, Kontera, Linkworth, Bluehost, Hostgator etc.

So if I can make money online with a website then you can also do it. Yes, you can too make a decent living online.

It is a matter of being passionate, have determination and not to give up.

When it comes to getting your own Internet business set up, you need to know how to build your own free website. This can cut the cost of expenses way down, helping you end up with a much healthier profit margin. Luckily, you do not have to be a web master or a computer engineer to make your own site. With the help of a free web-building site, anyone can put their information on the Internet.

Before setting out to look for a good hosting site, you will want to consider what type of information you are trying to get out to the universe. Are you adding some Internet marketing to your already present business, or is this a brand new online venture? Also, many people want to build a website just to put some information up for personal, not business, reasons. Once you have determined what your needs are, then it is time to choose the hosting service that will fit your needs the best.

There are quite a few different free hosting sites to pick from. It really depends on what services will be the most helpful. The basic steps of setting your own site up are pretty much the same though. When you are signing up for the hosting service, you will want to think on a clever site name. Do take note that it will be much easier to find by using simple spellings.

The next step is to choose a template. Different sites provide their own templates that have been put together with a certain color scheme or other theme type. With the variety that all of the free hosting sites have, it is not difficult to find a layout that will work with the information you are trying to put out. Once you have selected a certain look for your page, there are editing tools that will allow you to move things around, add pictures or other items, and even offer visitors a chance to say hi by “signing in” on the guest book.

After you have set the layout and edited the pages and sites, then it is time to add the information. Content is everything. In order to get a high number of people to visit your site, you will want to be sure to add a lot of quality content. Articles about your products or services, or even just general ones on the subject that provide links for people to check out can be added. When a visitor finds that your page is a great resource of information on a subject that they are interested in, they will come back. This is a crucial step for any kind of Internet marketing as well. By providing quality content to potential customers, you can promote a trusting relationship that will turn into great sales later on.

One aspect of building a web site that is often overlooked is that in order for it to keep working for you, it needs to be kept current and up to date. Just building it will not ensure that it will last. Web site maintenance is a necessary component. Refreshed and current information will let the visitor know that there is activity on the page. That will also make them more apt to make return visits to see what comes up new.
