So you can see the demand for online retailers, affiliate marketers, eBay, amazon, ect. With the economy in the tank, and more and more people are losing their jobs, this is one business that just keeps on growing year in and year out. So if you are thinking about starting a business like this, you can always start out part time and work your way up to full time, it's that much in demand.</p> <p>Starting a business can be very scary, but it doesn't have to be. Just think of what interests you, and start there, because the more you know about something the easier it will be for you.

Sometimes they are looking for people to help them, or they want to help other people start their own web site and sell their products, so take your time and choose wisely.</p> <p>You may also find opportunities in your local newspaper, magazines, and bulletin boards, ect. When you find what you are looking for, search the name of the company online to see the reviews, this will tell you if the company is worth your time and effort. You can tell a lot about a company by their reviews. If you see to many bad reviews, well I don't have to tell you what you should do. Be careful of the if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is situation.</p> <p>Once you find what you are looking for, and you have your site all set up, all you have to do now is to promote your site. This can be done several ways, ads on Google, writing articles, newspapers, magazines, bulletin boards, friends and family, social sites, ect.

There are a lot of people given the gift of being good with words. Writing comes easy for them. Why not make it work in such a way that you will be earning some extra cash in the process.There are actually three steps to put into mind before you begin writing your ads and having an effective Adsense.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a id="KonaLink1" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.sooperarticles.com/home-and-family-articles/how-start-making-money-adsense-online-work-home-26572.html#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">Keyword </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">search</span></span></a>. Find some popular subjects, keywords or phrase. Select the ones which you think has more people clicking through. This is actually a keyword selector and suggestion tool that some sites are offering to those who are just their Adsense business.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Writing articles. Start writing original content with keywords from the topics that you have achieved in your search. Take note that <a id="KonaLink2" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.sooperarticles.com/home-and-family-articles/how-start-making-money-adsense-online-work-home-26572.html#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">search </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">engines</span></span></a> are taking pride in the quality of their articles and what you will be writing should keep up with their demands.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Quality content site. Build a quality content site incorporated with Adsense ads that is targeting the subject and keywords of your articles and websites. This is where all that you've done initially will go to and this is also where they will prove their worth to you. Try to position your ads where surfers are most likely to click on them. According to <a id="KonaLink3" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.sooperarticles.com/home-and-family-articles/how-start-making-money-adsense-online-work-home-26572.html#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid blue; color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static; background-color: transparent;">research</span></span></a>, the one place that surfers look first when they visit a certain site is the top left. The reason behind this is not known. Maybe it is because some of the most useful search engine results are at the top of all other rankings. So visitors tend to look in that same place when browsing through other sites.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Some of those who are just starting at this business may think they are doing pretty well already and thinking that their clickthrough rates and CPM figures are quite healthy. However, there are more techniques and styles to generate more clicks to double your earnings online working from home. By knowing these techniques and working them to your advantage, you will realize that you will be getting three times more than other people who have been previously doing what they are doing.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, Adsense has some excellent tracking statistics that allows <a id="KonaLink4" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.sooperarticles.com/home-and-family-articles/how-start-making-money-adsense-online-work-home-26572.html#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">webmasters</span></span></a> and publishers to track their results across a number of site on a site by site, page by page, or any other basis you wanted. You should be aware oft his capability and make the most of it because it is one powerful tool that will help you find out which ads are performing best with your online work from home business. Another thing you should know. Banners and skyscrapers are dead. Ask the experts. So better forget about banners and skyscrapers. Surfers universally ignore these kinds of ad formats. The reason behind this is that they are recognized as an advert and advert are rarely of any interest that's why people ignore them.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> To really start making money with Adsense, you should have a definite focus on what you wanted to achieve and how you will go about achieving them.

If you do – you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable medium. Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging – there are tens of thousands of bloggers making money from blogging.</p> <p>In this page I want to share some information for beginners on making money from their blogs.</p> <p>I will start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods (updated regularly) but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging.</p> <p><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/top-income-streams.jpg" alt="How I Make Money Blogging" align="left" border="0" height="156" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="156" />What follows is a quick summary of my main income streams from blogging. Before you read it though – keep in mind that every blog is unique in how it can make money. Some of the following income streams will work on some blogs a lot better than others – the key is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.</p> <p>The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped me to earn a six figure income each year for the last three years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest. </p> <p> I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging. </p> <h3>1. <a href="http://www.problogger.net/adsense/">AdSense</a></h3> <p><a href="http://www.problogger.net/adsense/"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/adsense.gif" alt="Adsense" align="left" border="0" height="59" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="143" /></a>Despite not using it here at ProBlogger any more (<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/why-i-dont-use-adsense-on-problogger-any-more/">here’s why</a>) I continue to use <a href="http://www.problogger.net/adsense/">AdSense</a> with amazing effect on my other blogs. I have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that 250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design). I don’t have much luck with their ‘referrals’ program but their normal ads work a treat and continue to be the biggest earner for me. </p> <h3>2. <a href="https://chitika.com/mm_overview.php?refid=livingroom">Chitika</a> </h3> <p><a href="https://chitika.com/mm_overview.php?refid=livingroom"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/chitika.png" alt="Chitika" align="left" border="0" height="63" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="176" /></a>Chitka continues to be a great performer for me on my blogs. They work best on product related blogs although their recent announcement of their <a href="http://chitika.com/premiumads.php?refid=livingroom">Premium ad unit</a> is exciting as they now offer ads with a non product focus that I’m hearing great conversions on (I have one reader who is getting $28 CPM on this ad unit).<a href="https://chitika.com/mm_overview.php?refid=livingroom">Chitika</a> offers a range of ad units that I experiment with. I find their <a href="https://chitika.com/mm_overview.php?refid=livingroom">eMiniMalls</a> work best and that <a href="http://chitika.com/rpu_overview.php?refid=livingroom">Related Product Units</a> are also good. Their <a href="http://chitika.com/index.php?redir=slhp&refid=livingroom">Shoplincs</a> product isn’t performing as well as it once did for me – mainly because I’ve been promoting it less and have driven less traffic to it. <strong>Over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars – I can’t recommend them enough!</strong> </p> <h3>3. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships</h3> <p><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/images200711142314.jpg" alt="private-ad-sales" align="left" border="0" height="131" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="129" />Private ad sales directly to advertisers have continued to grow over the last few months and as a result they’re now my third highest income stream. I expect them to overtake both Chitika and AdSense in the coming months. This includes ad sales of the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/advertise-on-problogger/">125 x 125 ads here at ProBlogger</a> as well as a campaign or two at <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/">Digital Photography School</a>. </p> <h3>4. <a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/">Amazon Associates</a></h3> <p><a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/amazon-logo-1.jpg" alt="Amazon-Logo-1" align="left" border="0" height="60" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="140" /></a><br /><a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/">Amazon’s affiliate program</a> has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to make a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become a significant earner for me (<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/06/29/amazon-affiliate-program/">as I’ve shared previously</a>). This quarter it grew even more than previously as a result of continued growth of DPS where I recommend books, software and cameras. </p> <h3>5. Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs</h3> <p><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/images200711142317.jpg" alt="miscellaneous affiliate programs" align="left" border="0" height="129" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="134" />I run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs – most of which bring in smaller amounts of money that don’t really justify a category of their own. These include – - <a href="http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/aff/x.cgi?a=r&id=1&aid=5">Digital Photography Secrets</a> (a camera technique series), <a href="http://www.prophotosecrets.com/cmd.php?Clk=1491032">Pro Photo Secrets</a> (a great photoshop product) , Yaro’s <a href="http://www.blogmastermind.com/?home=100">Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program</a> (about to open the doors again), <a href="http://www.seobook.com/rf/idevaffiliate.php?id=1092">SEO Book</a> (Aaron’s legendary resource) and the excellent <a href="http://teachingsells.com/?ref=problogger">Teaching Sells course</a> (which just continues to grow in what it offers to it’s members in terms of content). </p> <p>The great thing about many of these programs is that they are of such high quality that they sell themselves and I am being emailed from readers who sign up to them thanking me for the recommendation!</p> <h3>6. <a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3493/index.xhtml">Shopzilla</a></h3> <p><a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3493/index.xhtml"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/shopzilla.jpg" alt="shopzilla.jpg" align="left" height="31" width="145" /></a>As I <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/05/30/shopzilla-publishing-program-showing-very-promising-results/">wrote recently</a> – <a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3493/index.xhtml">Shopzilla</a> has really impressed me with how it’s performed over the last few weeks. It’s actually doing well enough to debut in this list at #6. The ads are similar to Chitika but the click values have been higher for me to this point. They don’t offer quite as many options as Chitika does in terms of types of ads but for a new ad network there’s definitely promising signs. I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop!</p> <h3>7. <a href="http://jobs.problogger.net/">ProBlogger Job Boards</a></h3> <p><a href="http://jobs.problogger.net/"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/jobboardheader.jpg" alt="Jobboardheader" align="left" border="0" height="42" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="125" /></a> The job boards here at ProBlogger continue to grow each month in the number of advertisements that are being bought. This enabled me to invest most of the money that they’d earned a while back into getting a new back end for the boards and to redesign them. It hit me today that the boards are now bringing in around $1000 a month in revenue which is pretty nice considering that they are so low maintenance to run. They also offer a service to readers and add value to the overall blog. </p> <p>The only problem that I face with the job boards is that there are so many bloggers looking for work that the demand for jobs far exceeds the supply. On the good side of things is that advertisers are reporting getting amazing quality of applications. </p> <h3>8. <a href="http://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=208004">WidgetBucks</a></h3> <p><a href="http://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=208004"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/widgetbucks.jpg" alt="widgetbucks.jpg" align="left" height="30" width="144" /></a>Another newcomer to this list is <a href="http://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=208004">WidgetBucks</a> – another ad network that ProBlogger readers will be familiar with. </p> <p>WidgetBucks is similar to Chitika and Shopzilla in many respects and works well on product related sites. It does best on sites with US traffic (the reason I’ve not used it as much as I get a lot of international traffic) so if you have a product related site with a US audience it’d be a no brainer to try out WidgetBucks. I’m hoping they’ll continue to expand their offerings in terms of ad types and visitor location.</p> <p><em>Disclaimer</em> – WidgetBucks are an advertiser on ProBlogger</p> <h3>9. Miscellaneous Advertising Programs</h3> <p><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/images200711142318.jpg" alt="miscellaneous ad networks" align="left" border="0" height="129" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="134" />I also play with a number of other ad networks. Some I run as tests to see if I should review them here – and some are just advertising that run in the background on some of my smaller blogs. These include <a href="http://www.shoppingads.com/refer_22021e88070a2044099f">ShoppingAds</a>, <a href="http://www.feedburner.com/">Feedburner</a> RSS ads, <a href="http://www.vizu.com/">Vizu</a> (a poll advertising system), <a href="http://www.kontera.com/">Kontera</a> and <a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref_publisher.dbm?Ref_Option=pub&Ref_PID=47706">Bidvertiser</a>. Together these don’t add up to major earnings for me – not because they are not good, but because I don’t use them heavily (a blog can only run so many ads on it). </p> <p> I think that that covers most of it although it’s worth mentioning that last time I did this list I also included <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com/?referrer=10847">TextLinkAds</a> which used to be every bloggers favorite way to make money blogging by selling text links. I’ve stopped using them due to Google cracking down on them (<a href="http://www.problogger.net/a-word-about-selling-text-links/">read more about this here</a>) but it’s worth noting that many bloggers still use them successfully – I advise to proceed with caution. <em>Disclaimer</em> – TLA are an advertiser on ProBlogger </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-73116735493590393072009-08-25T01:23:00.000+07:002009-08-25T01:24:12.799+07:00Blackberry Streaming Radio Freeware<div style="text-align: justify;">Pandora - Blackberry App<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/pandora-blackberry-755290.jpg"><img style="width: 205px; height: 346px;" alt="Pandora for the Blackberry" src="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/pandora-blackberry-755283.jpg" border="1" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div>I'm a big fan of Pandora for years. I was really excited I could finally install it on my Blackberry. If you haven't experience Pandora its an Internet radio streaming service thats recommends music similar to yout choices of songs or artist you have chossen. Through this system you can create your own stations with Pandora making the playlist. It also has a feedback button so you can improve its system of choosing songs. The whole concept of Pandora is so original there's no other service that comes close to it. Pandora has made my Internet radio listening a whole new experience.<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Installing the software is fast and the sound quality is good. I love the fact you can use your wifi connection instead of your wireless carrier. Pandora for the Blackberry is quick, small and doen't seem to slow down my phone. It currently does not support the Storm but that should change soon.<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Download Pandora for the Blackberry - <a href="http://www.pandora.com/blackberry">Pandora Mobile</a><br /><br /><strong>Flycast FM - Streaming Radio<br /></strong><br /><a href="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/flycast-blackberry-739952.jpg"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" alt="" src="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/flycast-blackberry-739951.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I started using Flycast and was instantly impress with the huge selection of programming. You get music, talk, news, sports, weather, traffic and even some special broadcast of events. I love the face I can just use flycast even when I'm outside the country. A big difference to Pandora which restricts you to the US, I know it was all about regulations.<br />But I'm happy to say Flycast's selections are huge you can get all kinds of genres from rock, alternative, country, classical and much more. In terms of quality its comparable to Pandora and using WIFI you get uninterruptible Internet radio. Using your own carrier all depends on the strenght of the signal.<br /><br />Overall Flycast is a great service and a welcome to all blackberry users outside the US or even to International travellers.<br /><br />Download Flycast OTA: <a href="http://flycast.fm/bby/">http://flycast.fm/bby/</a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-32314912969588766282009-08-25T01:12:00.000+07:002009-08-25T01:13:39.346+07:00Skype Client Freeware<div class="post-body"> <div> <span style="font-weight: bold;">ISkoot - Skype VOIP and Chat Software<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/iskoot-741249.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer;" alt="" src="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/iskoot-741248.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br />ISkoot is freeware that enables you to use Skype on your mobile phones and now the Blackberry. The software is still in BETA. ISkoot has an agreement with Skype to use their network. Now you can use your Skype account to make calls and send instant messages.<br />ISkoot uses your voice plan to connect to their server when you make and receive Skype calls so be careful if your not in North America , you might get long distance charges. Although Iskoot is still working on trying to improve their software the chat function works great and helps me get in touch with everyone in my office.<br /><br />I'm hoping Iskoot will release a new version that uses BIS, BES or TCP to make calls instead of dialing a US number which will make you incur local charges. Just remember that although Iskoot is free using it will still cost you.<br /><br />Until they make some changes Iskoot still has a great Instant messaging function which makes it worth using.<br /><br />ISkoot currently supports the following Phones: ( local charges apply when you make voice calls)<br />BlackBerry7100<br />BlackBerry7500<br />BlackBerry7700<br />BlackBerry8100 Pearl<br />BlackBerry8300 Curve<br />BlackBerry8700<br />BlackBerry8800<br /><br />ISkoot : <a href="http://www.iskoot.com/">Link</a><br />Download : <a href="http://www.iskoot.com/register">Link<br /></a>User Guide PDF: <a href="http://www.iskoot.com/files/pdf/User_Guide_for_iSkoot_Client_Blackberry.pdf">link</a> </div> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-41774710806372418552009-08-25T01:10:00.000+07:002009-08-25T01:11:12.577+07:00Blackberry Security Freeware<div style="text-align: justify;">Secure your data with these free Blackberry Security Freeware.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keepass for the Blackberry</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/keepass-772184.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.blackberryfreeware.com/uploaded_images/keepass-772180.jpg" alt="keepass for the blackberry" border="1" /></a><br /><br />Keepass is an open source password manager that runs in windows and also several mobile devices.

I use to complain to my wife I never have time to read anything. This service deals with busy people and gives them the time to read books via email. The books comes in divided fragments so you only read a portion which should not take much of your time.<br /><br />My co-worker tells me he reads " The Art or War" by Sun Tzu in the bathroom. I guess doctors don't have much time to do anything. The book "The Art of War" comes in 17 parts so thats so thats 17 days and you can schedule when you want to get it in your Blackberry Phone.<br /><br />There is one limitation to this service and its the library. The collection is limited to public domain books, I'm hoping the developer could create a way for you to upload your own private collection of books or even some lectures you want to read daily. But considerin the service is free, I would recommend this service to all Blackberry users.<br /><br />Daily Lit -<a href="http://www.dailylit.com/"> Link</a> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-28526950263493826202009-08-25T00:54:00.001+07:002009-08-25T00:54:49.141+07:00Local Maps for the BlackberryGoogle Maps ( New update: version Version 2.1.0 )<br /><br />I'm always lost when it comes to working a GPS guidance system, to those who just want a simple map system would be the best.

These web sites usually contain nothing but plenty of Google AdSense ads and search results stolen from other search engines.<br /><br />They provide ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the users of Google, however they are still alive. Why there are so many good companies that can't afford Google AdWords advertising while these crappy web sites buy the most expensive keywords?<br /><br />Moreover, these web sites are really annoying if you try to find something useful right now. Did you know that 80%(!) of ads on insurance are MFA (Made for AdSense)? Recently we collected the database of over 40,000,000 search phrases. From 30% to 90%(!) of ads on Google for the top 1,000 most expensive keywords are MFA.<br /><br />We hope that this experiment will help Google to open eyes on MFA problem. Fighting this kind of web sites will not only help us to find information we need faster. It will reduce the cost of advertising for ethical companies.<br /><br />Don't forget that Google AdWords ad ranking is based on auction system. Less advertisers = reduced click price = happy advertisers = less profit for Google. Maybe it's the main reason why we still see these junk web sites? In any way let's come closer to the experiment.<br /><br />Let the number of MFA web sites grow, let Google be infected until it will train its immune system. Here is a "Developing Made for AdSense Web Sites for Dummies" tutorial.<br /><br />It took us 65 minutes to do it (we recorded each step with a stop-watch).<br /><br />1. Find an expensive and popular keyword. We used TheDowser Niche Database. It took us 1 minute.<br /><br />2. Register a junk domain like "top4websites.com" or "insurancetop4.com". We haven't ordered any domain specifically for this purpose, but used one of our experimental domains (totally unrelated to the main theme of MFA web site).<br /><br />3. Extract search results from Google or any other search engine. It took us 5 minutes.<br /><br />4. Create HTML page with these search results. It took us 7 minutes.<br /><br />5. Insert Google AdSense code in the way that search results aren't visible without scrolling. It took us 10 minutes.<br /><br />6. Upload html file to your web site. It took us 2 minutes.<br /><br />7. Create a new Google AdWords campaign for this keyword by copying any other MFA campaign. It took us 10 minutes.<br /><br />8. Wait for 15 minutes until you will see first clicks from Google AdWords, wait for another 15 minutes until you will see new clicks on Google AdSense.<br /><br />We started to earn $1/day after a single hour of work. $1/day is $33/month, spend 333 days to earn $10,000/month. It's that easy.<br /><br />This tutorial will definitely increase the number of MFA web sites as well as our previous research on Digg.com attention grabbing words increased the number of stories with "amazing", "digg", "revealed" words. When the number of MFA web sites will reach the critical mass, Google will turn on its immune system.<br /><br />We all hope that MFA web sites will die soon. Let's return to the good old days.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-66069979212659995512009-08-14T01:58:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:59:27.972+07:00Adsense Ready Websites and Google Adsense Templates<div style="text-align: justify;">There are hundreds of thousands of web templates out there, but not all of them make for good Adsense templates. As the popularity of Google's Adsense program grew, many web designers started creating templates that allow for easy contextual ad integration. Making money online is now a possibility and you can win cash in no time with Adsense, once your business is set up. And there's really not a lot that you need to work from home using Adsense. Here are a few tips you should consider when purchasing an Adsense website template:<br /><br />* The best Google Adsense templates are the simple ones. Forget Flash animations and complex menus and go for clear structures and logical link placements.<br />* Don't choose flashy graphics and don't use a lot of photographs, as these divert the visitor's attention from the ads.<br />* The best places to ad your contextual ads are the top of the site, below the banner, the left side menu and the center of the site. Your chosen Google Adsense template should allow for easy ad integration in these areas.<br />* Personalize your Adsense templates if you wish, but this is not going to make you more online cash. The best way to increase your Adsense revenue is to experiment with ad placement and colors until you see the best CTRs.<br />* You may think that, out of all work from home jobs and online job opportunities, Google Adsense is the less complicated one - true, but only after you manage to understand all the subtleties behind the system. This is why you should go with a Google Adsense template that plays by the rules and is not too complex or extravagant - you can develop funkier sites in the future, but for now stick with a simple hierarchy and logical structure.<br /><br />Adsense ready website information<br /><br />Purchasing an Adsense ready website is a good idea, especially if you don't know much about web development, but there are a few things to take care of. There are basically two types of Adsense ready websites - the duplicate content websites which get sold over and over and custom-made, original Adsense ready websites. Let's have a look at both of them:<br /><br />Recycled Google Adsense ready website - let's call them recycled because they get used over and over and over. You can purchase 10, 50 or 150 websites, each with hundreds of pages, for less than $100! Of course, these websites get sold, in their exact same form, to hundreds or thousands of other people. While these Google Adsense ready website offers are great because they offer a good structure and are designed to allow for easy and efficient contextual ad integration, they also rank lower in the search engine results.<br /><br />This is because they have duplicate content - hundreds of people have the same site as you, only hosted on a different server and under a different domain name. However, what you loose in search engine rankings you make up in structure and content quality. And with a few dozen Google Adsense ready websites like these, you only need to handle some high quality link exchanges, or get visitors on your sites through the other program offered by Google to advertisers - Adwords.<br /><br />Unique content Adsense ready websites are the other option. You will most likely pay a few hundred dollars for a unique website with 15-25 pages of original content. Instead of a hundred duplicate content websites you will have just one original website.<br /><br />It's hard to say which option will allow you to earn more from your online business, but it's clear that your unique content website will outrank duplicate content in the search engines. An original Adsense ready website offers a more stable income level, and you can grow it into a top ranking site in time. Your online earning will depend on numerous factors, but one thing is for sure - the search engines will love your site for bringing new content to the Internet and will reward you by ranking it higher.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-35895537009145373402009-08-14T01:56:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:57:26.732+07:00How to Make Money From Blogging<div style="text-align: justify;">Blogs are a great way to share reviews, ideas and opinions , but also, they are a viable way to earn a nice income. Actually, making money by blogging is something just about anyone can do. Making money with a blog is totally dependent on your audience and the attractiveness of your advertisements. Blogs are simple to set up, and relatively easy to update. As many as 75,000 blogs are created each day—almost one every second!<br /><br />If you are ready to start earning money online and you have a tiny budget, blogging is an awesome way to go. You can join affiliate programs and advertise on your blog. The only cost involved in setting up your blog is your time.<br /><br />Even though there are many factors involved in earning money with your blog, there are a few vital steps to consider when setting up, maintaining and promoting your blog if you are serious about achieving success.<br /><br />1. Any blog needs to have a proper layout in order for your adsense ads to be “clickable” by visitors. Selecting an ad's location, size and color is vital and is something you will need to test and tweak to determine which formats produce the most clicks. It’s amazing how a single minute change can produce monumental results. There are also several other ways to make money with your blog than with adsense alone. You could promote affiliate products and implement contextual advertising with companies like Kontera.<br /><br />2. Any blog needs lots of daily visitors in order to earn money. This is really a no-brainer, yet it's one of the greatest challenges tall website owners face. The promising reality is that there are more ways to generate traffic for your blog than ever before. This is due to the emergence of Web 2.0 sites like YouTube and social bookmarking sites. Many of these sites are a great source for one-way links to your blog. Getting hundreds of quality links is a must if you expect significant traffic to your blog. There are also many SEO tools on the market now such as directory and article submitters that will help you get hundreds of links to your blog quickly and save lots of time.<br /><br />3. Your blog will need to be updated frequently. You should not expect return visitors if your blog is not a source of fresh information. You can implement RSS feeds to provide your blog with relative information, however you will need to write entries as well at least once or twice per week. This will make your blog appealing to the search engines and also help brand you as an expert in your field.<br /><br />Blogging is an incredible way to share your thoughts and ideas online, but it can be a tremendous money-making tool. Making money with blogs is fairly simple if you know what to do and if you’re willing to invest the time and effort needed in order to make it profitable.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-19153467516987978912009-08-14T01:54:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:56:06.247+07:00How To Optimize Your Blog For The Best Search Engine Results<div style="text-align: justify;">If you are interested in trying to make money from your blog, you probably want to know how you can best optimize your blog for great search engine results. After all, most people stumble upon blogs when doing a search for something. If you use these optimization tips effectively, it may be your blog more people are drawn to. So, check these tips out and experiment with your own blog. Note what has the best results and stay with it. Change the other things around a bit until you get the results out of them that you want.<br /><br />Simple Content<br /><br />Many experts say that the best way to optimize your blog is to keep everything very simple. You can choose one quality content topic and make it your base. Then from there you can use variations of the topic in order to keep everything going. This may seem like a broad and useless tip, but once you get into blogging more and more, you understand how important it is.<br /><br />Put More Out There<br /><br />If you are trying to get more of a presence on search engines, be sure that you have something to show. The more content you have, the more likely you are to show up on a search engine. Bigger sites always do better than smaller sites. It is simply a numbers game. Search engines will see your site in a different manner, depending on how much content you have. The more content you have, the more there is a chance there will be that someone will stumble onto your site.<br /><br />Ask Search Engines for Help<br /><br />Few people know that you can actually submit your site to search engines. Submit your site's URL and ask to be put into the index. This can take a while, but if they do list you in the index, you will see a larger increase in traffic. Beware however of a service that asks for money in exchange for getting your sites into search engines. These can be a little misleading at times. There are ways to do this without needing to pay anyone at all.<br /><br />Keyword Pay<br /><br />A great idea for optimization is to identify the most popular keywords. By doing this, you are essentially targeting the keywords that people most often search for. When you do this, you have an edge over the competition. When you know exactly what the people are looking for, you can give them just that. Once you have a list of keywords, simply create articles that use these keywords. By creating these articles, you are putting yourself out there to be found. When someone does a search for those keywords, your blog just might pop up on their screen. Be careful not to use the keyword so much that your article does not make sense however.<br /><br />Daily Updates<br /><br />If you really want the best optimization, you should update it daily at the least. The more you update it, the more often search engines will index your blog. Therefore, you will want to be sure your blog is always fresh. Adding new information is the best way to update your blog. The more new information you have, the better off you will be! Just be sure that when you do update, it is for a good reason. You should always remember that content can have a purpose, but it should always be quality content. If you compromise content, you are only allowing yourself to strip the creativity from your project. If you are happy with doing that, by all means go ahead. However, as a writer, you will have a certain responsibility to web surfers. Unless you want everything on the web to be useless, do your part!<br /><br />Use these tips to help optimize your blog and get the most from search engines. The more you post and use these tips, the more results you will see. If you earn your living from the number of clicks your blog or your ads get, this will essentially mean more money for you. You can use all of them or some of them. Experiment with them to see what works best for you and your blog. Put these tips to use and watch your results rise today!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-50288470349985082952009-08-14T01:21:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:22:06.647+07:00The 5 Secrets of Effective Branding<div style="text-align: justify;">One fundamental law of branding is that the power of a brand is inversely proportional to its scope; the narrower the focus of a brand, the more memorable and powerful it will become. Hence the astonishing success of companies like Starbucks (the first coffee shop which specialized in coffee), Subway (the first delicatessen to feature just one kind of sandwich), Victoria's Secret (the first women's clothing chain to specialize in lingerie) and Toys "R" Us (a chain which eliminated children's clothing and children's furniture to concentrate solely on toys).<br /><br />Narrow the Focus of Your Brand<br />Companies ignore this law at their own peril: Boston Chicken became a successful brand by being the first fast-food restaurant to feature rotisserie chicken; when they added turkey, meatloaf, and other items to their menu, and adopted the more generic name "Boston Market" they diluted their brand and lost market share. American Express, a brand built on the idea of prestige, tried to increase their profits by offering a wide range of less exclusive credit cards, thereby decreasing the prestige of their brand and ultimately losing market share to MasterCard and Visa.<br /><br />Narrowing the focus of your brand may be the most important thing you can do to stand out from other local or regional competitors, and if you can narrow it to the point where you present your company as a truly different kind of company that will be even better. At Flywheel Design, my graphic design and marketing company, we're constantly touting the fact that we're the only design firm in our region where all the designers began as fine artists. Not many of our clients actually want painted, drawn, or collaged imagery, but they like seeing that stuff in our portfolio, because it implies that we're more talented than other rank-and-file designers, and everybody wants the most talented designer working on their project, even if their project is completely mundane.<br /><br />Make Your Brand Unique<br />Your challenge now is to distinguish yourself from all of your potential competitors so that your business is perceived not simply as higher in quality or lower in price, but as a different kind of business from theirs.<br />This may seem too difficult, especially for an ordinary, service-based business, but in fact there are many tricks one can use to stand out from the crowd. Here are five that are especially well suited to small businesses:<br /><br />1. A unique niche in the marketplace<br />It may seem counterintuitive to concentrate on a particular type of client/project, because in the beginning you want every job you can get your hands on. But remember: your brand becomes more powerful as it becomes more focused. A professional translator I know was equally proficient in Spanish, French and Russian, but people assumed she was the proverbial "jack-of-all-trades, master of none". Her business didn't really take off until she positioned herself as the premier Russian-only translator in her region.<br /><br />2. A unique promotion<br />Promotional items emblazoned with your logo (hats, coffee mugs, key chains) can look cheesy, of course, but if done well they can actually be very helpful in creating recognition for your brand. Just make sure the promotional item you choose is something people will actually use. One nice giveaway for high-end clients is a bottle of wine affixed with your own cool-looking label. (But be sure to hire a graphic design firm for help with this.)<br /><br />3. A unique persona<br />Clients like to see a face associated with your business, so consider adding headshots and brief bios to your web site, or run an ad which includes a picture of you hard at work. (This persona can be featured in your ads, flyers, web site etc.)<br /><br />4. A unique pricing system<br />This may or may not be possible in your field. But to give you an example of this kind of thinking: an ad agency in our areas got lots of positive press coverage for offering a guarantee on the results of their advertising campaigns. Hardly any clients took them up on this offer, once they read the fine print, but the sheer novelty of the idea brought in a large number of new accounts.<br /><br />5. A unique role in your community<br />Donate your products or services to worthy causes, then use that as the basis for media coverage and positive word of mouth. As in the case of a charity event my own company has sponsored (DesignAThon), the idea isn't simply to do charity work, but to do charity work which is branded or publicized in such a way that it makes a catchy story. Our event garnered a full-page feature article with photos, advertising we couldn't have afforded to buy at that time.<br /><br />Follow these simple branding strategies, and you're sure to see a dramatic improvement in your business!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-37028252360274969262009-08-14T01:15:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:16:14.462+07:00GPS Cell Phone<div style="text-align: justify;">The Global Positioning System (GPS) was funded, developed and controlled by the US Department of Defense. Since the late seventies, GPS has become an important aid to navigation around the world. Initially designed for the US military, GPS became publicly available years later and it is now considered an important feature in lots of consumer products.<br /><br />How does GPS work? Well, basically there are three elements that make everything work: satellites, earth monitoring stations and receivers (ex: cell phone, gps receiver). GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time.<br /><br />Today, most cell phones are not limited to carry on just a conversation. Features like mp3 player, digital camera and video camera have all become standards in the latest cell phone models. It is expected that the GPS feature will soon be added to this list, and it will offer the capability of tracking any cell phone user.<br /><br />The capability of tracking a cell phone user becomes important in emergency situations, like a car accident, thru the use of 911 emergency phone call, where every minute may be a matter of life or death. In situation like this, the GPS system may pinpoint the exact location of the road accident, enabling emergency services to be quickly dispatched.<br /><br />It is important to mention that so far most GPS system in cell phone is restricted to tracking information only. However, one can have navigational capability thru the use of full screen cell phone/PDA combos with map displays and other cellular phone accessories, and third party paid services. If one does not want to sign up for a monthly paid subscription service, he can make use of one-time-paid-only software programs that will enable some of the navigational capabilities.<br /><br />Although there are many benefits in using GPS cell phones, there are some people who are concerned about the violation of personal privacy. Since the US Congress has not authorized location tracking without actual evidence of wrongdoing, there have been court hearings which have not approved the requests of government agencies in obtaining the cell phone GPS tracking information for suspects or ordinary citizens.<br /><br />This privacy matter has made some progress towards the cell phone user`s rights, since there are some laws that have been passed which guarantees that GPS cell phone users will have some protection from the release of the tracking information, with the exception of 911 emergency cell phone calls. It is expected that these laws will guarantee that the benefits of GPS in cell phones will be enjoyed by everyone without infringing anybody`s privacy.<br /><br />Sometimes when there is a technological innovation, there are also some concerns about privacy or some rights infringements. But no matter how much of a concern this is, it seems that a compromise will always have to be reached, so that new technologies will take their places in everyone`s lives. After all, we all live in a globalized consumer world. By the way, have you already got your GPS cell phone?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-75500741493929772942009-08-14T01:13:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:14:50.883+07:00Unlocking Your Cell Phone?<div style="text-align: justify;">You have been using your cell phone for months and have been hearing about special features that are on it-which you can not use. Most cellular phones have special features that are available only if you work with your provider to have them unlocked. But, if you do not know what these features are, how do you know whether or not you even want them?<br /><br />Did you know that you could increase the call quality and decrease battery life by punching in a special code? There are also codes for functions like speed dialing, adding software and information on your phone's model.<br />Mobile phone unlocking products are divided into On-Site unlocking that requires you to mail in your phone and Remote unlocking products which provides convenient mobile phone unlocking from the your home or office. Now, which do you have? You probably do not know.<br /><br />Your first step should be to read your owner's manual. Yes, read the manual. None of us ever do this unless something goes wrong. Why would anyone ever want to read the tedious, long winded, legalized terminology? Well, everything you need to know about unlocking your cellular phone may be contained in your manual. Take the time to at least skim through it to see what it does say before you do anything that might damage your phone.<br /><br />Still not sure what features are hidden and whether or not you can unlock your cellular phone? Ask your teenager or someone else in the age range of 13-25. They will probably know what to do and will be able to do quickly. This is definitely better than spending hours playing around and guessing what to do next. There are web sites that will help you unlock the features in your phone without having to mail it in. They offer you the ability to remotely unlock features from the comfort of your own home. And, they claim it can be done in just a few minutes depending upon the method required.<br /><br />Some service providers intentionally lock their mobile phone as a means of keeping their customers. These codes can be broken and there are many sites on the internet that can provide more information on them. All cell phones have special hidden features. If you are interested in learning about the features of your cellular phone, you will need to do some internet research to see what is hidden on your phone. There are secret codes that will make your battery last longer, provide international access when you are overseas, to other special features-each unique to the different models.<br /><br />The purpose of these codes is to allow you to access hidden possibilities of your phone, maybe add functions and find out detailed technical information. So whether you have an Alcatel, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Siemens or Sony cell phone, you can unlock the codes hidden in your phone.<br /><br />An item of special note is that you should be careful that you do not violate the contract you signed with your provider. In some instances, they state that 'only they can do this' or that 'your warranty will be invalid if you tamper with the secret hidden features' within your cellular phone.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-45198685345401186762009-08-14T01:12:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:13:15.509+07:00Early Reviews Mixed For Apple iPhone<div style="text-align: justify;"><ins style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; display: inline-table; height: 280px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 336px;"><ins style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; display: block; height: 280px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 336px;"><iframe allowtransparency="true" hspace="0" id="google_ads_frame1" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="google_ads_frame" src="http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8382484800743675&dt=1250187051190&lmt=1250187046&alternate_ad_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keywordarticles.org%2Fgoogle.html&output=html&format=336x280_as&correlator=1250187051192&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keywordarticles.org%2FArticle%2FEarly-Reviews-Mixed-For-Apple-iPhone%2F61744&color_bg=FFFFFF&color_text=000000&color_link=0000CC&color_url=000000&color_border=FFFFFF&ad_type=text&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keywordarticles.org%2FCategory%2FMobile-Cell-Phone%2F183&frm=0&ga_vid=1281357766.1250187051&ga_sid=1250187051&ga_hid=1373619289&flash=10.0.22&w=336&h=280&u_h=800&u_w=1280&u_ah=770&u_aw=1280&u_cd=32&u_tz=420&u_his=1&u_java=true&u_nplug=19&u_nmime=111&ifi=1&dtd=33&xpc=1yosQQzXIJ&p=http%3A//www.keywordarticles.org" style="left: 0pt; position: absolute; top: 0pt;" vspace="0" frameborder="0" height="280" scrolling="no" width="336"></iframe></ins></ins> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="articletext"> Whenever a new electronic product hits the market, it is greeted by skepticism by some and with great fanfare by others and Apple iPhone has its share of dreamers and schemers who from day one were looking for ways to defeat the AT&T partnership need as well as many reports of long delays in having the phone service activated. Through the initial roll out where thousands were trying to start service, activation was back on track within a couple of days, but leaving early reviews for Apple iPhone mixed among new users.<br /><br />Most companies understand that no matter how hard they try, it is impossible to make everybody happy, but with the Apple iPhone, the company tried to do just that. Possibly one of the most controversial issues with the new device is that it only works on the AT&T network, formerly Cingular, a reality that many former Cingular customers are not excited about. Although the phone system, once activation was successfully, seemed to work flawlessly for many subscribers.<br /><br />The draw back is the ways available to find a contact phone number. The choices are to scroll through the entire list or got to the alphabet on the side of the Apple iPhone screen and choose an alphabetic listing by the first letter. For an average user with a couple of dozen names in their phonebook this is not a big problem but those with hundreds of contacts may find it time consuming and annoying.<br /><br />The buzz for the latest techno-gadget has been heating up the internet for years, and the recent unveiling of the Apple iPhone had the requisite long lines and up to 16-hour waits to be the first to own the cell phone, handheld computer, music player, video player, internet connection and digital camera, with add-ons making stock reports, weather and email available in real time. It has been touted as the first true all-in-one gadget to keep users connected in every conceivable sense.<br /><br />Despite all the hoopla surrounding its release critics have quickly spotted deficits in its design or programming, verifying the theory that a company can't please everyone. While many people were able to get their phone activated quickly, the back log of applicants slowed the process considerably. However, once up and running, exploration began on the other assets of the Apple iPhone.<br /><br />To use iTunes on the Apple iPhone version 7.3 is required and it features a graphic connection to the music installed. Simply locate the cover of the album desired and then the song from the album list to play the song. One quirk is the design of the 3.5mm headphone plug. For most headphone jacks it is recessed too far requiring the purchase of an adapter to make them fit.<br /><br />Keyboard Speeds Text Messaging Service<br /><br />The QWERTY keyboard on the Apple iPhone makes sending text messages easier but many complain about the lack of internet instant messaging. Perhaps the tie-in with AT&T and its texting services, all at additional cost, has something to do with that feature lacking on the Apple iPhone.<br /><br />The camera yields a competitive 3.5-inch display of 160 pixels per inch, far from camera quality, but is quick and easy to set up and use. There is some concern about the inability to instant message pictures to other users.<br /><br />Email System Poses Memory Issues<br /><br />For casual email users, having a POP3 account easily accesses email and the keyboard helps greatly in replying to messages. However, deleting old emails is a four-step process that sends the message to the recycle bin. With the message open the delete or edit button is pushed, followed by the minus button, then the delete button. To remove message from the trash can the process has to be repeated on the Apple iPhone.<br /><br />Overall, the release of the Apple iPhone was met with acceptance by most users as well as those who find fault with everything, they could not find fault with everything about the new device.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-67535240536257932782009-08-14T01:08:00.000+07:002009-08-14T01:09:45.067+07:00The Remarkable Apple iPhone<div style="text-align: justify;">Most people have already heard about the amazing Apple iPhone and all the great features that it has to offer. After all, this device has allegedly been in the making for almost four years and greatly anticipated by millions. Now this amazing device has hit the market and is available for all to enjoy. In the event that you are not familiar with the Apple iPhone, here is what you are missing.<br /><br />It is pretty oblivious that the Apple iPhone is not an ordinary cell phone. The many exciting features that you get with this iPhone are as unique as it was made out to be. It weighs in at a mere 4.8 ounces and measures 4.5 inches long, 2.4 inches wide and 0.46 inches thick.<br /><br />The Apple iPhone has all the great features that you expect with any cell phone, including the ability to do conference calling. However, instead of accessing the features by pushing buttons you have all the advantages that a touchscreen has to offer. All functions can be controlled by the touch of a finger.<br /><br />The Apple iPhone has MMS and SMS text messaging capabilities that is much easier to use than any other. The intelligent keyboard is predicitive, which means it predicts what you are writing to help eliminate mistakes. The Apple iPhone has a very exciting 2 megapixel camera that offers excellent photo management applications that can't be matched by any other cell phone. The touchscreen gives you the ability to email or browse through your photos easily. You can also make your photos compatible with either Mac or PC.<br /><br />The internet capabilities offers Safari browser with built-in Yahoo and Google search. The Apple iPhone can multi-task and display maps that even allow you to zoom in closely to points of interest. Sending and receive e-mails is fast and easy so you always have access to your messages.<br /><br />If you enjoy listening to music then you will love the fact that the Apple iPhone has been designed with iPod music capabilities. You also get a clear view of all the options on the Apple iPhones 3.5 inch widescreen display, because it is designed with optical-quality glass that is crystal clear. This makes using the touchscreen even easier.<br /><br />The Apple iPhone has built-in sensors that shut off the display screen automatically when you put it near your face. When you change the camera mode the iPhone sensor will automatically adjust the image to fit the screen mode that you are using and the ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness of the screen to meet the current light levels.<br /><br />These sensors provide convenience and help to save on the battery power. The amazing Apple iPhone is big news and if you haven't taken a close look at this exciting invention as of yet, you should take the time to do so.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681333518776495333.post-65715183455072636612009-08-13T12:03:00.000+07:002009-08-13T12:05:08.002+07:00How To Hijack ‘Every iPhone In The World’<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-462" title="hack me iphone" src="http://www.berrymanual.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/hack-me-iphone-230x300.jpg" alt="hack me iphone" height="300" width="230" />On Thursday, two researchers plan to reveal an unpatched iPhone bug that could virally infect phones via SMS.</strong></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">That small cipher will likely be your only warning that someone has taken advantage of a bug that Miller and his fellow cybersecurity researcher Collin Mulliner plan to publicize Thursday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Using a flaw they’ve found in the iPhone’s handling of text messages, the researchers say they’ll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone’s functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device’s camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-461"></span>“This is serious. The only thing you can do to prevent it is turn off your phone,” Miller told Forbes. “Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world with this.”</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Though Miller and Mulliner say they notified <span><strong>Apple</strong></span> about the vulnerability more than a month ago, the company hasn’t released a patch, and it didn’t respond to Forbes’ repeated calls seeking comment.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The iPhone SMS bug is just one of a series that the researchers plan to reveal in their talk. They say they’ve also found a similar texting bug in Windows Mobile that allows complete remote control of <span><strong>Microsoft</strong></span>-based devices. Another pair of SMS bugs in the iPhone and <span><strong>Google</strong>’s</span> Android phones would purportedly allow a hacker to knock a phone off its wireless network for about 10 seconds with a series of text messages. The trick could be repeated again and again to keep the user offline, Miller says. Though Google has patched the Android flaw, this second iPhone bug also remains unpatched, he adds.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> The new round of bugs aren’t the first that Miller has dug up in the iPhone’s code. In 2007, he became the first to remotely hijack the iPhone using a flaw in its browser. But while that vulnerability gave the attacker a similar power over the phone’s functions, it required tricking the user into visiting an infected Web site to invisibly download a piece of malicious software. When Miller alerted Apple in July of that year, the company patched the vulnerability before Miller publicized the bug at the Black Hat conference the following month. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
