Let me guess, you’re probably on your computer about two or three hours a day. Does that sound about right? Then again, if you work on a computer at home or in some cramped cubicle, you may spend the majority of your day on a PC. Now, all that time you spend typing, surfing, downloading, reading, and sending, I hope you’re taking some basic precautions. After all, the last thing you need is a Trojan horse or irreversible virus destroying your system. This can be a headache and a half. Not only can it ruin your work, but it can cost you your entire hard drive. That means saved material, family photos, downloads, the whole shebang. There’s no doubt you need some decent anti virus protection.

Last year I got hit hard. Not by some drunken head in a smoky bar either. I’m talking about at home in my own living room. That place where you feel safe and comfortable at all times. Unfortunately security has gone out the window when it comes to cyberspace. Or at least it seems this way at times. I was doing my usual web browsing. Just searching the net for a few new desktops to grace my computer screen. Then suddenly it happened. Just as I downloaded a horror flick wallpaper, my screen went fuzzy. What was the deal! I was certain I had excellent anti virus protection. How could I get smacked out of nowhere by some random computer virus? Well, sadly my laptop was not the same. I shut it down and tried to restart, but it would not comply. It was time to consult a professional. He informed me that my system board was fried. OUCH. This was going to be pricy; I could tell. I asked him if it was a virus, but he couldn’t tell. However, I pretty much know it was that darn horror movie wallpaper I downloaded. That’s when it all happened. Some dollars later, I had a fixed computer. I immediately got back online and downloaded the best free anti virus protection I could find. I continue to update once every couple weeks or so.

I hate that this is a never-ending story. Just as anti virus protection advances, the nasty viruses advance as well. Who in God’s name is creating this garbage and don’t they have anything better to do? Just a heads up; stay recent with your virus protection. Your PC or Mac is at stake.

If your familiar with Forums you may know about forum signature, avatar, etc. After researching many Forums, I found that people pay for advertising in members signature, avatar, etc. Theres a lot of money to be made in lots of forums out there. If you are a member of a popular forum and if the forum allows avatar, signature links, a location and a recent blog (some forums), then all these can be sold for good money!

The average pay you can get to rent your space:

$1 per 100 posts for your signature,
$0.50 per 100 posts for you location and recent blog,
$0.50 per 100 posts for your avatar.

If you make 10 posts a day which is quite easy it’ll take you 100 days or just over
3 months to make 1000 posts. So for the fourth month you could sell four signature links for $40 a month, your avatar for $5 and your location and recent blog for $5 which equals $50 fors the fourth month!

With the busy schedules that most of us experience today, we are prone to missing out on events that were once of utmost importance. Family gatherings fall by the wayside, replaced by that important meeting. Graduations of extended families are sometimes difficult to attend, with the scheduling and expense of long distance travel. Worst of all, everyday stories of our loved ones are often never heard, sometimes due only to the cost of long distance calls.

However, we are living in the age of the Internet, where people can instantly exchange information. This is a time

You may be using Google Adsense a pay per click advertising program for your website. If you are, then this is for you, Automated site building programs have gotten a bad rap, and for good reason!

Most of these programs exist to scrape content from other sites and repurpose it so it can be reused to make someone else money. You’ve seen them. There have been a handful that can be used with good intent in mind, but the majority of them encourage people to build trashy looking sites that have no real value.

When Wesley Wayne told me about his WordPageBuilder program, I thought, “Aw geez… not another one of these.”

When I look at a program that promises to automate my content, I look for these three things.
