My 2 Cents Worth - Editor's Chit-Chat
Hi All! Welcome to another Sunday with yours truly and thanks so much for letting me be a small part of your day. :~) If you're new today, a warm welcome to you. I hope you'll enjoy the issue. Can you believe it's June already? Where did May go? LOL The whole month seemed to fly by in no time! But I guess that means July is coming up fast, and I'm excited for that. All my kids and grandkids will be here for a visit. We're having a family reunion with my brothers and cousins (and their families, too, of course) so that will be fun. We're just having a BBQ at my house, but there will be lots of food and good times. Then when my kids leave, a friend is coming from Germany. I haven't seen her in the 17 years since I left Germany to move back to the states. Now she's thinking about retiring in this area in a couple of years, so she wants to come and check it out. And speaking of time flying by... today is my daughter's 20th birthday. Considering she's the youngest of my 4 kids, how the heck did she get to be so old? LOL I really need to get some yard work done today. The weeds are trying to overtake the flowers in the flower beds, so I think I better do something about that. LOL So... it's time for me to let you get on with the rest of the issue. I'll see you here in two weeks. Until then, be profitable! Denise

Recognizing the Power of Social Marketing By Denise Hall There's nothing more viral than the popularity of social sites like Facebook and YouTube. What makes these sites so viral is that members can invite other people, therefore making social marketing a very vital tool in promoting whatever you're selling. Social marketing has resulted in the promotion of websites and blogs in a proportion never before heard of in the Internet marketing world. Smart marketers use social marketing to promote anything and everything under the sun. At this time there are dozens, if not hundreds, of social sites on the Internet. The key to marketing on such sites is to 'socialize' with others and give them a reason to tell their friends about your social page... For instance, my son and his band recorded a song, created a MySpace page and uploaded the music track about two weeks ago. In less than 2 weeks, they had 2,600 people listen to their song! This totally blew my son away! He keeps asking "How did that happen?" Well, it's really pretty simple... They each posted a link to the band's MySpace page on their personal MySpace pages. The song became viral as their personal friends and visitors began to pass it on to others... who passed it on to others... and so on. By the time they have their full CD recorded and ready for sale, they'll already have tons of fans who are willing to pay for it! Do you see the power of this? By setting up accounts at just a few social sites, and including your website or blog url on your pages, you'll drive targeted traffic that can result in many sales and subscribers. If you're not using social marketing in your website promotional efforts, you're really missing the boat. Exposure is the name of the game, and social marketing is ready to provide the exposure your business needs, so give it a shot.

Courtesy of Bill Engvall Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm Stupid". That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, "Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't see your sign." It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My friend comes over and says "Hey, you moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign." A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" "No - We talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign." I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there's only one way to test it. "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don't wanna lose it!" Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me! Here's your sign." We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him. I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn't ya know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning..ok..no problem. I thought sure he was clear of needing a sign...until he asked "So.. is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said "no I'm delivering a bridge...here's your sign."

Computer Security Tips
Good and Bad Links by Syd Tash © 2008 All Rights Reserved I have often mentioned that you need to be careful where you click on the Wild Wild Web. When you click on a link that looks like this http://yahoo.com you may expect to land at a Yahoo Web site. Almost always, that is what happens. However, what you see is not necessarily what you get. The link can be hijacked, and you could end up anywhere. This is because the underlying link, or address that is attached to http://yahoo.com can in fact be anything at all. It could even be a malicious site. So what to do? There are one or two precautions you can take, and other tricks as well if you get stuck at a site you cannot or perhaps should not close. Before clicking on a link, slide your mouse over it. Now look at the bottom left of your screen. You will usually see a Web address. It should be the same as the link you just slid your mouse over, or it should be the address you were expecting. You can also right-click the link and click Properties. You will see the address the link should take you to, among other things. Now click the link. If you land on a strange or unexpected site, or get a bunch of pop-ups, be careful. I just said you might get a site or pop-up you should not close. Why? You may see a few buttons to click, such as OK, No, Cancel, or of course the little red “X” in the upper right to supposedly close the window. But clicking any of the buttons, or even the little “X” may actually initiate a scan of your computer, or a download. So you should close the window by right-clicking its tab in the Taskbar at the bottom of your screen, then click “X Close”. Sometimes this will not work, or you will not even see a tab. In that case, right-click a blank area of the Taskbar and click Task Manager. In the list, click on the offending program to highlight it, and click "End Task". How is a hyperlink hijacked or misrepresented? Let us count the ways. It can be very simple. When you see a link on a Web page, you are looking at a few words of text that the webmaster has linked to a Web address for you, behind the scenes so to speak. This makes a clickable link. But that address can be anything he pleases. It does not have to be the address you actually see, which is why you should check it as above, before clicking. A less frequent, more complicated method is to break into a Domain Name System (DNS) server and alter the domain name records. When you request that Yahoo site, for example, your computer goes to a large DNS computer on the Internet to translate http://yahoo.com into an IP address, or string of numbers. Then it uses the numbers to find the site for you. A few days ago, a large American ISP suffered a DNS attack. Hackers associated a different IP address with the ISP. So requests for the ISP's Web site were redirected to the hacker's own server and Web site. The lesson for all of us? Think before you click! ---------------------- Syd Tash is a noted computer security consultant and author of How to Protect Your Computer Online – A Complete Guide.
