How Much Traffic Is Enough
How much traffic is enough? I was playing around with headlines for an ad when I jotted this down. My mind appears to be stuck. Ever since I thought of those five words, I can't seem to stop. Is 1000 extra hits a month enough? How about 1000 a...

Is There a Spy in Your Computer?
You may have inadvertently invited a spy into your computer. There you are, shopping on line and little did you know it you caught a spy or two.
The spy is known by a few names "spyware, adware, trojans". Whatever it’s called, what it does, once it's in your computer, is start taking statistical information as you travel the Internet. It may also send you pop-up ads and slow down your computer. Wired.com, http://www.wired.com/news echnology/0,1282,49960,00.html, mentioned it "could even collect your credit card information". According to “OptOut”, http://grc.com/optout.htm, one spyware program attacks your e-mail signature file.
How did you invite the spy?
Maybe you've gone to a website you knew and enjoyed only to find that it was purposefully purchased by a pornography site. The new company may have imbedded "spyware" or "adware" into that new home page and now, in many cases without your knowledge, it's on your computer, too.
Maybe you've downloaded a free or paid program and as part of the package you were provided with an added bonus – a spyware program.
Maybe you agreed to it! You could have downloaded a program and checked the box that allows that program to take statistics from you "for their own use".
What you can do?
A firewall program should let you know when you're on a website and a program is about to download. Note the word "should".
Or you can learn all about spyware, download an anti-spyware program, and schedule time in your weekly calendar to run the program. What I originally found on my 18-month-old computer were: 2 porn and 42 other spyware programs. A week later, I had 4 new spyware programs appear.
To further reduce the amount of spam that ends up in your e-mail, create a "rule" or "filter” that will take any e-mail containing "certain adult words of your
choosing” and send those e-mails directly to your delete or spam folder.
Did you know that you can opt-out of some e-mail ad's and tele-marketing calls, too.
