What is Spyware? Find out now and protect yourself! By:Joe Borges

Spyware and Adware viruses have rapidly become the number one threat to your computer with over 90% of computers already infected. These include "Trojans", Web Bugs, Advertiser Software, Monitoring Software and more. Fortunately there are good spyware protection and adware spyware virus removal tools available. Sorting through them all to find the right one is a challenging task and an important decision to make.

Consequences From Spyware: hijacked browsers, reset home pages, changed search results, spam emails sent to you, slow browsers, toolbars added to your browser, and many more.
You Need To Understand What Spyware Is!

Spyware and Adware, also called "Malware", are files made by publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity, see what you purchase and send you "pop-up" ads. They can slow down your PC, cause it to crash, record your credit card numbers and worse. If you're like most Internet users, chances are you're probably infected with these files. Simply surfing the Internet, reading email, downloading music or other files can infect your PC without you knowing it.

Q. So What is Spyware?
A. Spyware are individual programs that embed themselves within your computer and monitor your internet browsing activites. They can spy on your confidential information (passwords, credit card info, etc).

Q. What is Adware?
A. Adware are software applications that display advertising banners and popups. If you get inundated with popups chances are you have been infected by Adware.

Q. What is Malware?
A. It is the short term for malicious software. Malware are more commonly referred as viruses, trojans, and worms.

Q. What is a Trojan virus?

Q. What are Computer Viruses?
A. Destructive programs that disrupt the normal functioning of computer systems.
Is Your Computer Infected?

This is no longer something that you only see in sci-fi movies - spyware can attack anyone! If you've downloaded some music, files or documents and suddenly started getting annoying ads popping up on your screen, you could definitely be infected with spyware and/or adware software!

Anyone who visits corrupt websites (you won't know you have), clicks on deceptive popups or views a spam email message is vulnerable. Simply put, if you're online, you're at risk.
The Short Summary: Is your PC running slower than usual? Are you getting popup ads and do not know where they are coming form? Then you could have spyware software running on your computer without your knowledge.

The Solution: choosing an anti spyware software protection program immediately, to eliminate the threat to your computer, files, sensitive information and peace of mind.

The ultimate business model - Creating residual income streams by: Ian Canaway

Every successful business has understood and mastered one basic principle. That principle can be summed up in two words: Repeat Business.

Pick any major business name: Microsoft, Walmart, McDonald's...
The reason behind their success is repeat business - the simple fact that most of their customers are repeat buyers. Sure, they get new customers as often as they can. But the majority of their business, and profits, come from repeat buyers. These businesses depend on their existing customers to earn consistent profits.

And it's no surprise that the number one reason most businesses go out of business very quickly is this...they don't take care of they existing customers. They don't build a relationship with them, and they definitely don't sell to them more than once.
Just about every business you see, either online or offline, is so busy finding "new" customers that they forget about their existing customers.

You want to know what the biggest marketing secret on the planet is? This is it. This is the biggest secret. It's not coming up with new marketing ideas or trying every new marketing twist that you hear about, or running after every new marketing manual that hits the web promising to teach you a new marketing trick.

The secret really is no secret these days...

Repeat Business!
That's the secret to business and marketing success!
One of the most powerful things you can do to build your business and make a killing in profits is to sell to the same customers over and over again. There's nothing wrong with finding new customers, as long as you continue to sell to your existing customers! That's where the real money is.

It's a simple strategy. It's a powerful strategy! And it works very well for me and for many other marketers. Having your own responsive "opt-in" mailing list allows you to use that strategy.

But... what if I told you that there's something even better?!

What if I told you that you could sell to a customer just once, and earn a profit every single month, for many, many years - maybe even for the rest of your life?!
And what if I told you that you are not limited to the number of customers you can sell to? That means that if you were to sell this to 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 customers, you would earn a profit from each of those customers every single month, without having to lift a finger to do any additional work?

Well... believe it or not, a business like that exists! And you can be a part of it so you can claim your share of the profits right now!

Now, you will still need to find your customers. That goes without saying, and you're probably doing that right now anyway. But the beauty of this system is... that's all you have to do!
Everything else is done for you! The product, the selling, the follow-ups, and believe it or not, even the customer support is taken care of for you!

That leaves you with a lot of time and energy that you usually would have spent on doing the above tasks. With this model, you can use all that saved time and energy on getting more customers and increasing you cash payments every month!

That is the ultimate business model!
The structure of this ultimate business model is simple. It includes a product or service that customers want and are willing to pay for, not just once but every single month!
That means you sell to the customer just once and get paid every month for as long as that person remains a customer.

And because someone else takes care of the product, the selling, the order fulfillment, the customer service and the repeat sales every month, you are freed from those tasks so you can concentrate on getting more customers and increasing your monthly profits!

Unseen uses for Google adsense... By Stephen Skyvington-Diplock

When I started using Google adsense I did so by signing up with the Google Cash Machine. I found the information enthralling and couldn’t wait to get to the end and at last understand why numerous sites displayed Google ads. As I soaked up the information on how you can make money by displaying Google ads on your web site. I was introduced to terms like keyword generation, overture and adsense, adwords, site maps to name but a few.

As the realisation dawned that you can create webs sites, based on keywords that are specific to niche subjects, which will display content sensitive Google ads, which can then earn you money…boom it hit me like a bomb. It suddenly struck me that here was a complete new area of the web that I had not previously explored, and one that had more potential to make me money than any of those HYIP’s, MLM’s and web superstores.

With all new areas of potential home based Internet businesses you find yourself immersed in a waterfall of unknown words, terms and new areas of interest. It is not as simple as saying I now know what a keyword is, because then you suddenly realise that you have got to generate those keywords. That’s another new area keyword generation. Then you see the ad for a keyword analysis tool and before you know it you’re off down that road, should I buy this, or maybe that and you’ve stopped progressing with your Google cash machine.

Stop…

Let’s get that first Google adsense site up, it might not be the best in the world but you’ve got the knowledge now lets turn that into experience. At last I had produced my first Google Cash Machine web site based on keywords about Flight, cheap flights, cheap flights Spain, etc…. I put the site up as a sub site of my galaxies-private-income.ws domain. What next? Submit the site to Google adsense so that it knows about your channel. (Website).

Having submitted it, I wondered how I would know when it was making me money.

Some hours later I logged onto Google adsense and selected reports. There for me to see was the number of hits on my first Google cash machine website. The numbers were nothing to write about, but it did strike me as odd that back in the days when I put my first web site up I struggled to find a hit counter. Eventually I did, but here on my Google adsense report page was a comprehensive report of my site how many hits and page impressions received, you can even select a date range. However, I digress, rather than continuing to extol the virtues of Google adsense reporting tools this rather brings me to the point of this article.

And that is….

That even if I don’t make millions out of my new found knowledge and experience with Google ads I have found a great way of tracking page hits and impressions on any website I may create, with great reporting and best of all its Free.
