The Most Unethical and Down Right Foul Ways To Make Money On the Internet/Online Quick and Easy

Posted Saturday, November 14, 2009 (6 days 3 hours ago.) Viewed 209 times.

This is not a tutorial but rather an expose. I'm not going to give you contacts or an in-depth article about how to do these evil schemes but show you what they are and why they are bad. If you are looking to spin a few bucks online by deplorable method there is plenty of junk online about how Bob makes $5000 a day working for two hours or something equally ridiculous. They have all the evidence that is so convincing: I once saw one of these sites where the guy had a picture of the cheque with his name, the numbers and the bank all blacked out with only the $5000 showing. Perhaps the site that posts the advertising on his blog let him borrow the cheque. These are the sorts of sites you want to read if you're looking for how to do these sorts of things . But beware most of these are just google cash which turned out to be fake anyway.

But if you insist on finding out how to make money these ways click here. I mean seriously do click on the link it has the best advice I can offer you and I can assure you that it will make you tons of money. No catches what so ever.

Getting back to the point of this article here are the most unethical ways to make money online.

1. I'll sue you scams. These are pretty pathetic in my opinion. People send out a few hundred stern letters/emails to companies and demand that they compensate you for something or you will take them to court. If your email address was sold and they have no privacy policy what do can be done? If it does not include accessibility options for disabled people what can we get them for? The idea is that gullible company owners will be intimidated or scared that they will send you money for something that is either not their fault or that is not even against the law. My advice is that you should ignore these and they will give up. Do you really think they would take a duff case to court? Company owners need to ask who the criminal here is.

2. Sue Google. Why? Well I don't know just sue them. You would not believe the number of people that try to sue Google. For example if it gave you bad results or if you turned safe search off and were confronted with porn. These people set up sites about the case and people write about it and drive traffic to sell advertising. Ridiculous suing is not hitting the front pages so give up.

3. Taking bribes. Some web directories employ people to review sites for the directory. Some people sign up and take bribes from companies to get either faster inclusion or higher ranking or even sites that are not allowed indexing (i.e. a porn site). But beware you will be caught its not too hard to find out and you will be kicked off the site and may even end up in court yourself being sued.

4. I read about someone that worked for a very well known company and would find out about there new plans for websites and then register the domains just before the company register it since he found out about the idea in a board room. He'd then sell it back to them under an internet name. He got found out and fired.

5. There was a great idea conceived by a guy who would simply post pictures of his pets and talk about how lovely they were and how much he loved them. He would update regularly and it got good traffic and then one day he announced he was broke. A few days latter he said he would have to eat his pets to survive. People were so naive and soppy they sent him money so that he would not eat the pets.

6. Copy and paste. Two of the most useful controls on a computer can be put to evil use. In-fact I bet someone copies and pastes this article onto a blog, as their own, drives traffic and sells advertising. Hideously lazy but dead easy to do.

7. Webcams. Take your clothes off in-front of a webcam. This way I dare not do too much Google research into. It is a pathetically cheap way of making money by allowing people to fanaticise over you. Does the thought of thousands of people fanaticising about having sex with you not make you "freak out"? It may make you money but could you imagine being recognised by someone in a supermarket? Or even meeting a fan?

8. Getting involved with SEO crooks. Not all SEO (Search Engine Optimisation Companies) are bad as what I am going on to explain some are alright. But a lot of them are quite dodgy. The idea of SEO is to get a clients site to the top of Google and co. The main way to do this is with link building: the more sites that link to you the higher Search Engines will rank you. Some SEO companies employ people to join forums and post crap with a link on it. For example on the "Introduce Yourself" page they would say "hi" followed with a few links. This would only take a minuet and most people could do this a hundred or so times a day. The other way is to lower the quality of article sites by posting crappy articles (grammar, spelling, punctuation and content don't matter) and then a few links. You then replicate this on a few sites and the SEO crooks will pay so much per link. This sounds all rosy except most sites will delete your article or post especially SearchWarp that is currently at war with crap SEO articles (see http://searchwarp.com/faqs-Article-Submissions.htm#28).

There are more ways than I have mentioned but you get the idea. There are so many dodgy ways to make money online and most of them fall on gullibility or breach of trust. Now that I have shown you the ways that people are trying to destroy the internet to extract gold from the ashes; I hope that you will recognise these and take steps to prevent these. Oh, and don't go trying these because most of them are not as profitable or easy as they seem. Furthermore, in the cases that you are working for someone who's to say that they won't scam you too?

New Plans Emerge from ICANN for non-Latin (Arabic, Chinese etc) domain names

Posted Sunday, November 08, 2009 (12 days 8 hours ago.) Viewed 293 times.

The domain name regulator ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Name and Numbers) announced after a six day conference that they would allow non-Latin domain names.

To give you an example of what is meant by "Non-Latin" we shall look close to home. Under the new plan (assuming Bruce and co do it) www.searchwarp.com would also be ثثث.قهأصحجثأعص.جسم or 瓦特瓦特瓦特峞以研究建華瓦特以研究陸炳Ø米. In the second domain, I don't know where the dots go, since I got help with the first and don't know any Chinese speakers to help with the second – but you get the idea.

The idea behind the shift is to allow universal access to the internet. For example if you were an Arab who loved reading articles on SearchWarp (with google translator) you would get annoyed about having to type: www.searchwarp.com and not having a clue what it means. Conversely, the majority of SearchWarp -who speak - English-, would get annoyed if they had to type in, ثثث.قهأصحجثأعص.جسم, every time you came to SearchWarp.

I must say I'm already annoyed with the other domain: I'm sitting here writing the article and since Arabic is written backwards, from our perspective, Microsoft Word thinks I want to type backwards so I keep deleting it.

This will mark the greatest change in domain names since their creation. We are going from using A-Z, 1-9 and a few special characters that total no more than 100 characters to 100,000 characters.

The change would totally reinvent in internet over afternoon tea. It will, however, start with local codes like: .ru, .gr and .il. The normal domains like: .com, .net, .biz., .info, .org and so on will not see any changes just yet but there are plans for this in the future.

This is a fantastic idea and a huge step towards globalisation of the internet. The days where Europe and the US dominated the internet are no more. In recent times we have seen an influx of Arabs and Chinese onto the internet and thus we have to adjust. It's really not fair for those groups to have to use our system. I can assure you that if roles were reversed we, who use Latin domain names, would be the ones grumbling.

To summerise, the video below shows ICANN's plans in there own words.

Are you always in a Rush? Over Working Yourself? Wish Stairs were Slides? Then Join the Club!

Slow down. Take your time. Relax. There's no rush. There is time for everything.

Hello! Leap out of bed twenty minutes late and smell the coffee, for the two or three seconds it takes you to wolf it down, while running out to your car and franticly fumbling in your pockets and on your mobile (sandwiched between your ear and shoulder) and shout bye to everyone at home with the person on the phone begging you not to go. This is the great blur people call the twenty first centaury. People now walk at warp speed and every second is a minute late.

Over the years I've, and I bet you have, heard some ridiculous stories of people in a rush. Ask yourself have I ever:

1. Ran up stairs two steps at a time?

2. Ran down stairs two steps at a time? I can tell you, from experience, it feels weird and is very dangerous.

3. Power walked through packed corridors reading reports?

4. Drunk a whole cup of tea/coffee/Bovril (yuck)/ other hot liquid in one gulp?

5. Walked into a door?

6. Climbed out a window rather than a proper exit? I'm not joking I've seen it done!

7. Shouted at an elevator to hurry up?

8. Squeezed into an elevator just before the doors closed? The other elevator is just far too far away. Anyway, who calls elevators these days anyway?

9. Went up the down escalator or down the up escalator?

10. Told a clerk to keep the change – you just don't have time?

11. Worked over your social life?

12. Talked on two phones simultaneously?

I could go on but you get the idea-we're all in a rush. The great rats are racing in the fast lane now. Or why would we have fast food, faster download, high speed connection, online check-in at airports (does it defeat the purpose of checking in?), instant messaging and txt (pronounced too-xt) language?

There is a phrase that is now common and that is "super mum" (or dad; though no-one ever says that). These "super mums" are up early in the morning, work by day, work evenings (and weekends), spend their evening looking after kids, while also finding time - in their frantic evenings- to socialise and then by n-. I best stop there – they will find time to read this.

According to research walking speeds have increased by 10% per year. Average waking speeds are now around three miles per hour rising to around 5.5- 6 for people (like me) who are in a rush.

Being in a rush and constantly being busy is not good for you: it is important to have a social life and you have to realise that there is more to life than work - It just takes a lot of looking.

Personally, I am a workaholic and am always busy. It is not fun and causes so many problems but how to do less? I am out all day, I spend most of my evenings studying for a course, I run this column once a week, do SearchWarp's WarpTalk, run three websites and am writing two books.

Yet, I do try playing hide and seeking with relaxation – when I find the damn think I take it. But the damn thing is so bloody good at the game I can never find it. The greatest step forward is my new rule: I refuse to work after 10:00 and get very grumpy after 9:00.

The greatest problem with always being busy is the fact your human. Being human is so in-efficient: we get tired, we can't be bothered but, most importantly, we have a finite capacity for work. After you have worked so hard your brain gets tired and your productivity takes a nose dive. As much as you feel like you're a robot, your not.

I'm going to try to find balance and I hope you will join me. It's not going to be easy and the road is covered in pot holes - since work will always be a big part of any successful person's life. But you're human and you need down time.

As for the fast walking thing that is here to stay: if you have to move from one place to the next in a short space of time your not going to teleport. But when the opportunity arises take it slow – there is now no rush.

So, slow down as much as possible. Take your time. Relax sometimes. There is a rush. But there is time for most things – including a holiday.
