A Crazy Offline Advertising Method: Skinvertising

I thought I’d about seen it all when I mentioned a crazy offline advertising method a couple of years ago here: Another Offline Advertising Method: House Wrapping. Little did I know that today’s little discovery makes the house wrapping gig look like child’s play.

I was reading on a blog today about a web site, PawnUp.com, that is essentially an online pawn shop. They spent almost $4,000 to have their logo tattooed on a guy’s arm. You have to check out this video on skinvertising:

I can’t believe how many tattoos Billy has on his face!

How much would it take for you to get a tattoo on your face?

Over 55 Blogging Tips That Can Transform Your Blog Into Something Incredible

One of the problems with blogging is it’s so dang accessible to literally everyone. Anymore, anyone can start a blog with literally ZERO up front investment. I’ve even contemplated starting a blog from scratch, all from a public place like the Apple Store, using their hardware, software and Internet connection. It’s fully possible and would make a pretty cool case study.

The reason this is a problem is because people don’t realize how tough it is to move past just setting up a blog and actually turning it into something valuable. Content takes time, will and determination to create. Getting traffic requires an equal amount of time, determination and experimentation.

I was pleasantly surprised when I happened on a post today that outlined 58 quick tips to transform your blog from something ordinary or lacking to something great. The post covers everything from the basics of setting things up to time saving tips and ways to improve the usability and quality of your blog.

Here are some of the tips I found most useful:

  • Develop a basic editorial calendar – Something I’m a HUGE fan of. It will help organize your thoughts and guard against writer’s block. You’ll always know what you’re writing on that particular day and can watch for things to help support the topics you’re going to cover.
  • Perfect your About Me page – I have a post coming about this. A great tool both readers and potential advertisers will appreciate and use.
  • Maintain an idea file – I’m always on the lookout for things to write about. When you come across one, put it in a file you can refer back to when you need some inspiration or content.
  • Follow blogs in your niche – This is a great way to get involved in your niche community and learn some great things in the process. I’m also a big fan of linking to other solid content in a blog’s niche. You’ll notice on Blueverse.com, I’m free with the links to others. There are lots of great minds out there, and we can all learn from each other.
  • Build your email list – A staple monetization technique you should be doing TODAY!
  • Be persistent — and consistent – Enough said.

The post contains a bunch of links that support the 58 tips as well, so you can explore the ones that you want to read more about.

Brand New Web Time Machine

Ever wish you had a device to take you back in time? Of course you do! And I’m not talking about one like Uncle Rico’s (come on Napoleon Dynamite fans!), but more the DeLorean sort. One that actually worked!

I happened on a site I’d never heard of today that is a simplistic take on Archive.org. It’s called ScreenShots.com.

The concept is very simple. The site takes screen shots of web sites every so often. They currently have over 250 million current and historic images of websites. What’s cool is the screenshots show you exactly what a visitor would see when they came to the site.

Whenever their bots “sense” a significant change to a site, a screenshot is taken. I have to say it’s pretty slick and picks up where services like Archive.org fail.

In my search for half a dozen of my current sites, it accurately cataloged the sites and their changes.

Aside from the coolness factor, here are some uses for ScreenShots.com:

  • Look at the historical nature of a site you’re considering purchasing
  • Evaluate domains you’re considering picking up to see what kind of site the domain was used for and what you would want to do to maintain current traffic and linking
  • Document the history of a site you’re working on a redesign for (this alone helped me land a $35,000 project)
  • Look back at the history of competitor sites and how they’ve changed – Can really help you figure out what others have found to work, and not work
  • Evaluate your own site history and what changes your site(s) have gone through – I find this helpful to gain perspective on projects and to make sure I’m headed in the right direction (i.e. Making Progress!)

Those are just the things off the top of my head. I’m sure you all can come up with a list twice that long of useful purposes. With all of the paid tools and software out there, it’s some of the simplest, free tools, that can help you enjoy success that only a little ingenuity and hard work can provide.

Small Businesses Are A Primary Target For Data Theft

In this age of science and technological growth, every sphere of our lives are occupied with digital devices, which are used for various reasons including improving the quality of work and saving time. Advancement in technology has raised severe issues of identity theft. It is becoming easier for the thieves to access, obtain and make fake copies of the identity – which a common person cannot fathom. This practice is gaining momentum in small neighborhood business. Sharing personal information with a small business may seem very harmless – but the reality can be different sometimes.

A report published on data theft, called Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) stated that there has been a drastic increase in cases of data theft in the U.S. Lately; centers responsible for data collection in businesses are being scrutinized targeted successfully. Personal details of people are extracted on a massive scale by monitoring computers businesses employees. They also track details stored in cell phones through cell phone monitoring software.

Open gateway for attackers

It is very easy to target small businesses, as their data is not very secure – the files are not protected, which makes it easier for the infiltrator to pass the security systems and extract information. People feed their personal information online daily while shopping online, on a social site; making them easy targets for thieves. Attackers can easily trace data and track the person of their choice.

The 2012 report of DBIR gives a horrific picture of data theft. The report stated that more than roughly 174,080,317 records were stolen last year. This means that where you shop might be misusing your information. Only three years ago, internal threats were almost half as bad as external ones.

Spy software comes in handy

Attackers use several ways to break into the system and extract the details – including remote desktops, open wifi’s and even remote access services. It’s not that difficult to access the device by deploying spyware to the device. Not just spy software, attackers also utilize key loggers to penetrate the system. The story continues with cell phones and tablets also being attacked conveniently, Verizon has reported.

The issue with the business is not only lack of security, but also their unwillingness to appropriately use the security that was already in place. Improper use of reminders for the firewall have resulted in many simply turning it off as if you were keeping your doors unlocked in a dangerous neighborhood. This is in addition to a missing ACL or one that isn’t properly linked to a network.

It is practically impossible to expect not to lose any data in this ever increasing world of digital technology. However, it is imperative that smaller business take real measures to keep their data centers locked in and identity thieves locked out.

This guest post was written by James Clark. James has been writing about Computer Monitoring Software for quite a bit of his career. His articles have been a source of information for those looking to find out more about the latest Computer Spy Software and he’s helped many tackle their privacy and security issues along the way.

Here’s the usual monthly reminder…If you want a free link to your site on a permanent page on blueverse.com, then COMMENT It’s easy. It’s fun. It’s therapeutic.

Thoughts from last month

I don’t have a whole lot to say about last month, so I won’t make up useless dribble. Adsense was double what it has been. Infolinks continues to kick Kontera’s ass in terms of earnings for blueverse.com in particular.

What I’m working on this month

I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of blog monetization. I think banner ads are a dying breed. Inline ads suck as do text link ads. I like reviews. Referrals seem to be a solid method as well…BUT…there has to be something more. I haven’t found that “something” yet, but I’d like to. I have a lot of blogs to push whatever method rises to the challenge of providing some decent cash.

If anyone has any ideas, let’s team up. Leave me a comment or send me an email through the contact form.

Free ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall TODAY

more infoI usually don’t post stuff like this, but this is a great deal (as in FREE!) on a decent little desktop product. For all of us who do work online, viruses, spyware and other annoying computer infections are a constant concern. Even if your surfing is always on the up and up and you’re only visiting reputable sites, you still run the risk of an attack on your system. Add email into the mix and all the crap that grandma likes to forward to you, and you have a recipe for certain infection.

I used to be an anti-software protection guy. I figured that 99.9% of the bad things that could happen to my system could be avoided with a little common sense. This was largely born out of the horrible overhead many anti-virus products hit our systems with. Although I still believe common sense was the best protection a few years ago, today it just isn’t so. No matter how smart you are, if you’re doing anything online and not protecting your system with something, you’re asking for trouble.

Fortunately there are lots of free products you can easily deploy to protect yourself. Unfortunately a lot of them suck. Today, however, Check Point is giving away a free license for it’s ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall 2010 (good for use on up to 3 PCs). Normally the software will run you $39.95 for a license. Here’s some of the protection ZoneAlarm Pro will give you:

  • Makes you invisible to hackers
  • Scans web downloads and warns if they’re dangerous
  • Monitors your credit bureau reports
  • Works great with any anti-virus or anti-spyware

Check Point, in case you don’t know, is a competitor of Cisco in the Enterprise Firewall arena, so they’re no slouches when it comes to Internet products to protect you from bad people.

By the way, if you’re wondering why I’m pimping ZoneAlarm, it’s because I love getting stuff for free, especially stuff that would normally cost me money any other day of the year. Every once in a while companies do these promotions and I believe in capitalizing on them!

Grab your copy today here: ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall 2010 Free. They’re only running the promotion for 24 hours.
