A Serious Threat To Your Websites - I Was Shocked When This Happened To Me

Monday, January 5th, 2009

A few months ago, I noticed that one of my web servers was
crashing every few days. My web host took one look and said
that I had too many programs running simultaneously.

After a little digging around, I discovered that hackers had
placed a program on my server that was engaged in doing some
fairly nasty things.

That program got onto my server via an out-of-date script. It
was a script that I installed on a website, decided not to use,
and then ignored. I should have deleted it!

The bad guys quickly learn where the holes are in popular
website scripts. That’s why organizations such as WordPress.org
and Microsoft are constantly releasing updates.

Hackers had used a known hole in a script to upload another
script onto my server, and from there, do their thing. If they
hadn’t bogged down my server so much, I probably wouldn’t have
noticed for a very long time.

I’m telling you this because I you have older scripts running
on your server, you probably have “attack vectors” just
inviting the bad guys in.

The solution is simply to update the scripts that power your
website as soon as stable updates are released. That’s what my
team is actually busy doing right now. We’re updating our sites
to the latest, thoroughly tested, stable version of WordPress.

The thing is that, if you’re on C-panel, that upgrade isn’t easy
to do automatically. However, there is a plug-in that makes the
automated upgrade a snap. It works great if you’re not on
C-panel too.

There are also several critical things that you need to do to
“lock-down” your WordPress installations.

You can get the plug-ins you need, plus video instructions on
how to make your WordPress blogs more secure, right here:

Go ahead and grab that now… it’s too important to let wait.

Internet Marketing On A Shoestring Budget - Part 1

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Internet Marketing On A Shoestring Budget - Part 1
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

The current economic recession is causing many people
starting online businesses to make some tough decisions.
Often these are also BAD decisions.

During tough times, businesses traditionally cut the
one expense that they often DON’T need to cut… which
is advertising. Instead you just need to spend wiser,
and you will gain market-share BECAUSE your competitors
are cutting back.

Still, many online marketers today are looking for ways to
grow their businesses on a shoestring budget.

One of the most obvious ways is to go out and find things that
you need for your business that you can get for free.

For example, unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past
year, it’s difficult not to notice all of the free
cooperative list-building giveaways being organized by
internet marketers.

Sometimes, hundreds of marketers come together and each
contributes one (or several) free items. They list all of
their items on one central website, but usually require you
to visit the individual contributors’ sites to download each
item.

The gift contributors are willing to do this because it’s
a proven effective way to build their subscriber lists.

You can find free:

- Ebooks and courses
- MP3 audios
- Videos
- Access to membership sites
- Advertising credits
- Resale Rights Products that will readily sell
- Private Label Rights Products that you can rework and
turn into best-sellers
- Software that allows you to operate your business more
efficiently and effectively.
- A tons of other free items…

There is one BIG problem with free stuff though… you often
get what you pay for. Sifting though all of the freebies to
find the gems is often more trouble than it’s worth.

It does take time to examine this stuff and determine
whether or not it’s worthwhile to download. We sometimes
get back to the question my older relatives use to ask me…
“Do you have more time or money?”

Today, time is my most limited resource, but I realize that
is not the case for everyone. So, if you have lots of free
time, it IS worthwhile to visit these free giveaway sites
and look for tools to grow your business on a shoestring
budget.

If you DON’T have a lot of free time, but still want to take
advantage of the free giveaways, there is a solution.

That solution is to trust the recommendations of an ezine
publisher or marketer who has EARNED your trust by making
only “solid” recommendations. Check out the free giveaways
that they recommend.

I actually feel like I fall in that category :-)

However, if you want to find the very best free giveaways
that offer top quality free items that you can use in
growing your business, I recommend that you frequent:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

There, you’ll always find links to free giveaways that the
staff has actually taken the time to go through and VERIFY
that they are not filled with worthless JUNK.

As an example, today, they point you to free giveaways that
have reports such as:

“Clickbank Insider Secrets - For Clickbank Affiliates And
Merchants” an MP3/PDF combination that shares knowledge I
have never seen shared anywhere else.

“How To Actually Make Money With Squidoo - In-depth MP3 Audio
Interview”

“Total YouTube Domination - Audio with MRR/PLR” - This audio
taught me how to divert traffic from the most popular existing
videos on YouTube… one of the best audios I’ve ever listened
to!

“Hidden Methods That I Use To Sell More Big Ticket Items -
PDF Special Report”

“Explosive Traffic System - FREE Report Reveals The REAL Secrets
Of Easily Getting 10,000+ Unique Visitors Per Month For Free!”

“The Secret of Domain Pagerank 3 - How to Get A Domain with High
Pagerank Instantly and Monetize It to Get Monthly Income from
Online Programs”

… and literally hundreds more titles.

Yes, one way to build your business on a shoestring budget IS
to sift through and download worthwhile items from free
giveaways. Again, the key is that you need to know which ones
have the good stuff. For that insight, you can trust:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

Before we leave the topic of free giveaways, they ARE a great
way to build your email list too.

I’ve used them to accelerate the growth of my huge database.

My friend Odinn Sorensen used them to get his business off to
a great start… one that grew so fast that in just over a
year, he QUIT his six-figure job. He felt that secure in his
online business, and it was due to the list he’d built largely
using free giveaways.

If you’d like to know more about how YOU can use free giveaways
to build your list, you’ll also find that info at:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

Ok, that’s it for Part 1 of this article. In the next part
we’ll look at getting that first website up and running on a
shoestring budget… like for free :-)

Be on the lookout for Part 2.

In the meantime, start implementing what you just learned.
Without taking action, you’re no better off than if you didn’t
know!

I Couldn’t Pull Myself Away From Watching This - Howie’s Mad!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Earlier today I was watching some video footage
from my friend Howie Schwartz.

Howie showed how to go into possibly the most
competitive niche on the face of the planet…
and dominate!

I sat there thinking, “He’s a madman!”

I understand traffic generation. I’ve made a career
of studying, testing and tracking methods of
generating website traffic.

However, I can’t think of anyone who is better at
generating traffic than my mad friend Howie.

Check out: http://SageMarketer.com/MadMan/

I watched SEVEN videos of Howie teaching traffic
generation back-to-back. He’s that good.

Loving This New WordPress Blog Plug-In Already!

Friday, December 5th, 2008

John Taylor showed me a WordPress plug-in that automatically
looking at your blog posts for certain keywords, or keyword
phrases, and when it finds them automatically hyperlinks those
phrases to whatever url you want (ideally an affiliate url).

You can check it out at:
http://SageMarketer.com/AffiliatePlugIn/

It took me all of 3 minutes to download and unzip it, glance
at the readme file, upload it to my blog’s plug-in directory,
activate it, and store a dozen records.

The software actually went back through the past 4
YEARS posts and when it found my target keywords,
it turned them into hyperlinked text.

This is really, really powerful and a big timesaver.

Check out John’s site here, he has a short demo video
too: http://SageMarketer.com/AffiliatePlugIn/

Life gets easier every day for lazy affiliate marketers :-)

My Google Conquest Bonus & The ULTIMATE Traffic System Revealed…

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

My Google Conquest Bonus & The ULTIMATE Traffic System Revealed…

This IS a very important note.

In it, you’ll discover how you can get into a program
that’s virtually like an online empire in a box. It’s how
I’m currently turning Google into my own virtual ATM machine!

If you’re on many email list, you’ll probably have lots of
people telling your about Google Conquest today.

I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t tell you about it
too. It is going to completely change the lives of a few
people… starting today!

First though, let me tell you about my bonus when you get it
through my affiliate link. I’m going to give you one hour
of one-on-one time on the telephone with me where you can
ask me any question on the face of the planet.

While one hour may not sound like a lot to some people, I
actually schedule my work day in 5-minute increments. When
I get on the phone with staff or clients, it actually takes
very little time to get a LOT of information across because
we respect each others’ time, and prepare before each call.

If you check my rates for one-on-one consultations at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/mentoring.html you’ll see that I
do ACTUALLY charge people $800 for one hour of one-on-one
time with me… and they happily pay it. That’s because an
hour of discussing online marketing, traffic generation or
related topics has completely turned many businesses around.

If you’re in a hurry, you just need to do two things:

1) Order Google Conquest at http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

2) Visit my helpdesk at: http://WillieCrawford.com/helpdesk/
and submit a ticket in the category “Personal For Willie”

On that ticket, explain that you just purchased Google
Conquest, and that you’d like to schedule your 1-hour consult.
Paste your confirmation email from Google Conquest into the
ticket as “proof of purchase.”

I’ll get back to you and schedule a our hour together.

In case you doubt the value of that consultation, take a look
at: http://SageMarketer.com/TheTopTrafficExperts/

That page sells a product revealing “The Top Ten Most
Effective Free Website Traffic Generation Techniques Of All
Times.” Down near the bottom of the page you could actually
listen to the top three.

However, I don’t want you to waste a lot of time on that site.
Alex is only offering a limited number of copies of Google
Conquest, and I don’t want him to sell out while you’re off
studying something else.

If you want to explore that site more, bookmark it, and go
back later today.

What I WOULD like for you to notice on that X-Factor page is
that while that page mentions some web marketing “legends”
(Mark Joyner, Dr. Ken Evoy, John Reese, Yanik Silver, Kevin
Wilke & Matt Gill, Shawn Collins, Russell Brunson, Tellman
Knudson, etc.), the headline, most of the body copy, and
proof that the tactics work… ALL feature me.

The first and last “Johnson box” on that page both feature me
and how I easily generate millions of visitors to my websites.
The three free videos posted on the site also spend more time
talking about MY tactics than anyone else’s.

I’m not pointing this out to you to be arrogant. I’m pointing
this out to you because I do want you to see that a
consultation with me, properly used, can be worth a fortune.

Ok, so what is Google Conquest anyway?

If you’ve ever wanted to live the “Internet Lifestyle” with
passive income streams coming at you 24/7 even when you’re
on vacation, then you need to read all of this email.

Here’s why:

Alex Goad, one of the most ingenious and respected Internet
Marketers that I personally know is finally releasing his
6-figure traffic automation suite and it’s about to change
the game in your favor BIG time because…

- Several of the beta testers of the system are now
making Hundreds a day. Like Mark from PEI who makes $300 a
day from his home while working just 15 hours per week and
spending the rest of his time with his kids (he’s a single
father).

- Alex makes it easy: there’s no tech skills required.
If you’ve never built a website and wouldn’t know where to
start, that problem is gone…

- It’s 98% automated. Another case study Alex presented
is making over $500 a day. It’s a guy from Ireland named
Kieran, and all he does it build 3 sites a week with the system
(and they just take 2-3 hours to build). That’s enough for a
solid 6-figure income…

- Almost instantly tap into a flow of free traffic from
Google, Yahoo and MSN…

And that’s just the beginning…

There are only 1000 copies being released and last I heard from
Alex, over twelve thousand people had signed up to the
pre-launch list, so you probably want to head over right now…

http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

————————————————
Micro-Niching to 6 figures
————————————————-

The system is based on something Alex calls “micro-niching”.

In short, you use the automation system to build highly
optimized sites with a couple of flicks of the mouse. And
no, this is not black hat generator stuff, the sites are
totally legit and Google loves them…

By targeting micro-niches this way, you practically *force*
Google and company to drown you in free traffic…

So how do you micro-niche yourself a 6-figure passive income?
Apparently not that hard since several students of the system
have done it in a few months or less.

In fact one guy, Bryan, who you’ll see on the page made
something like $8k in about 9 days with a single micro-niche
site :-)

Now every time you get a spare hour, you can transform it
into a long-term income stream…

Once you see the money start rolling in, you’re going to
find yourself wanting to watch a LOT less television. Your
time will simply be too valuable.

It’s easy, and it takes a maximum of a few hours from start
to finish to build something that will pay you for a LONG
time.

Then you just add more like it and very quickly, 10 bucks a
day transforms into 50, 100 and up…

And there’s no advertising or ppc expenses, so it’s all
profit…

http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

—————————————-
Warning, this is no *ordinary* program
—————————————

This is not a cheap program, nor should it be. With everything
that comes with it, I think they could have asked for 5 times
the price and sold out quick anyway.

You see content and sites by themselves can make you good
money, but when you add high quality one way backlinks to the
equation, this thing is on steroids.

And that’s exactly what Alex has done here…

There is not one but two private sources of quality one way
backlinks. First a three way link network in which you can
add unlimited quality domains…

And even more impressive, a network of 1000+ highly optimized
blogs with juicy authority and page rank…

Not only can you submit your content with backlinks to many
quality sites, you can also use that system to automatically
source other people’s high quality content to your sites…

That means your network and income keep on growing even when
you don’t do a thing… And that is indeed some powerful
stuff.

http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

———————————————-
But it still wouldn’t be complete…
——————————————–

If a program is really to get out of this world results for
its users, it needs serious training and support.

Alex has included that too here, and he’s put a lot of emphasis
on the fact that his is a community that will be very well
surrounded.

Not only are several top internet marketers doing the program,
but there are also comprehensive training series and coaching
included.

Listen… There are really three things you need to make it
online. A system that’s proven to work, a little elbow grease
and a mentor and support network.

I think you’ll find that all that has been included here and
more…

You need to be quick though, with only 1000 copies being offered,
the incredible quality of the program and all the emails talking
about it already, it certainly won’t be open very long…

http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

If you’re finally ready for success… it’s show time,

Google Conquest opens at 12 Noon today.

I’m really not insane

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, during a mastermind session, I told some of my most
trusted advisors that my goal for the next 12 months was to
setup an average of two new, fairly-simple websites a day.

I went on to explain that that my income goal for those two
new websites a day was an average of just $10 per day.

They smiled and told me that they knew that I could do it.
They weren’t being condescending

Think about it, 365 days x 2 websites a day X $10 per day
means that at the end of 365 days, I’ll be bringing in
$7300 per day. That’s six-figures a month :-)

Knowing me, they honestly know that I will do it.

However, they wanted to know how I planned on pulling off
this feat.

That’s something I’ll share with you more in the coming week.

I’ll also share with you that anyone can stick two websites a
day online, but that without traffic, nothing else will happen.

I have an integrated plan for:

1) Setting these sites up in proven profitable niches.

2) Driving a steady stream of traffic to these sites.

3) Monetizing these sites with AdSense, and the sales of
affiliate products, and of my own products.

As I said, I’ll share more of my plan in the coming week. I
just want to point out that I’m not insane. I have a plan
already flowed out :-)

You can get a glimpse of part of it in this short video:
http://SageMarketer.com/Conquest/

Take a look at that video now, and if you want to follow in
my path, you’re welcome to come along. The internet is HUGE
and your following a similar plan really won’t slow me down
on bit :-)

Stay tuned for updates!

Willie
