security-tips-and-guidelines-for-your-wordpress-blog

Hi Guys,

Over the past 2 weeks I’ve my biggest headache where I did 3 times re-installation of my Wordpress. Why?

I’ve been hacked 3 times in a week.

Yeah! Seriously!

What really happened before I got hacked is I kept getting spamming, almost 30-40 spammers will create free accounts and blogs. I don’t really bother since I thought by having spam blockers will avoid me from any troubles. But I was wrong by doing all the spamming they or the hackers are actually doing their things. They’ve planted some virus/coding into all my index and home files.

How I figured out this is that I noticed that my main page loading taking too long and at the end of the page footer I notice some of the URL’s that wasn’t mine. So, I started to suspect few things. The first thing I did is by downloading my “index” file and found out that there are some “alien” codes planted inside. There you go I downloaded all my files and notice that all my index and home page files contain the same codes. At the same time I told my hosting provider about it and the noticed that there series of IP’s accessing my control panel and etc. Imagine doing all these 3 times…

Anyway, the first thing I did is changing my password to stronger ones. Then I started to browse looking for ways to protect so that I won’t face the same issues again and luckily I found few guys giving great tips on how to protect wordpress blog. Here are some security tips and guidelines for your wordpress blog.

We all agree that having a secure wordpress weblog should be our first priorities when keeping a successful blog. In this post I’d like you to share your knowledge and help us create the Wordpress Security guide to keep the bad guys out.

Below are 10 security tips that you can easily implement on your WordPress blog. Please share one or more life-savers you use permanently to help protect yourself from WordPress security issues.

Here are a few Wordpress security tips I’ve learned over time. After reading a couple of horror stories about blogs being hacked, maimed and mutilated by crazy Russians or vindictive competitors, I’ve decided to it would be good idea to implement some security practices for my WordPress blog. After going through a bunch of sites and fixing things on my own blog, I thought it would be good to share these items with all of the other WordPress users out there.

Implementing these security measures is especially important for anyone who is currently making or trying to make money off their blogs. Once you blog is hacked or spammed without you knowing about it, you’ll be dropped from the search engines and it’s not easy getting back in. Remember, even with all the security measures, it’s essential to have a backup of your blog. The plugin I use is WordPress Database Backup. If you don’t have it installed, install it now! Seriously!

Tips to help protect yourself from WordPress security issues:

1. Stay Up-to-Date/Upgrade Wordpress

This is probably the first thing you should do! If you’re not running the most up-to-date version, you’re asking for trouble. Currently, it’s 2.2.3, but soon will be version 2.3. May as well wait till the 24th and install the newest version. There have been a few releases recently that were just security fixes (SQL Injection, etc). It may seem like a pain in the butt and sometimes it can be, but upgrading is really not that bad. I held off upgrading from version 2.0 to 2.2 for a few months because I was scared something was going to go wrong and everything deleted. Finally, I mustered the energy and went through their instructions step by step and it was fine! After you upgrade Wordpress once, it’s not all that bad!

Probably the first thing you should do! Install the Instant Upgrade Plugin or the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin. Make sure you back everything up before performing the upgrades.

Tips: Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5. If you’re using Wordpress 2.5 then its all built in. Just click and upgrade by going to your plugin menu.

2. Change default passwords

Are you still logging into your wp-admin page with the same default password that was emailed to you? If so, CHANGE IT! That password is only 6 characters and just numbers and letters. My grandmother could probably crack it after a few weeks. Make it complex and more than 10 characters if you can. Also, try not to use words, make it a nice jumble of letters, numbers, and symbols. Also while you’re at it, go ahead and log into your hosting company’s site and change your password there for your account login and any control panel logins, like cPanel, etc.

3. Use SSH/Shell Access instead of FTP

This one is a big one! It’s not as easy to implement as the other two, but it’s probably the best tip out of all the others that I will list here. If someone gets a hold of your FTP login information (which is usually not encrypted and easy to get), they can manipulate your files and add spam to your site without you even knowing about it! Just read this story! It’s actually best to disable FTP altogether if you can! Using SSH, everything is encrypted including the transfer of files, etc.

4. Install LoginLock plugin

This is a really cool plugin that will automatically block an IP address from trying to log into your Wordpress admin area after a certain number of attempts. LoginLock will prevent bots from continuously trying different combinations to crack your account. This is very similar to how Windows works if you’re in a domain environment. The default locked out time is 1 hour.

5. Create a blank index.html file in your /Plugins/ directory

By default, your Wordpress plugins folder is completely visible to anyone by going to http://www.domainname.com/wp-content/plugins. Go ahead and create a blank document in your favorite editor and save it as index.html and upload it to the plugins directory. Now when you try to access it, you only get a blank screen. This prevents hackers from finding out a security hole in one of your plugins.

You can also add this line in your .htaccess file in your root: Option All -Indexes

6. Protecting your Wordpress wp-admin folder/Block access to wp-admin folder using .htaccess

Attackers can use bots for a brute force style of attack that simply guesses the admin password until they come up with the correct one and login. There are a couple of solutions out there, we will highlight each below.

a) Limit access to wp-admin folder by IP address- This solution is to restrict which IP’s can access the wp-admin folder via .htaccess. This has one drawback is you may have to update your .htaccess folder if your internet provider assigns you a dynamic IP address, you move to another location or you have authors at other locations.

b) AskApache Password Protect- The plugin is simple, it adds a 2nd layer of security to your blog by requiring a username and password to access anything in the /wp-admin/ folder. All you have to do is choose a username and password and you are done. It writes the .htaccess file, without messing it up. It also encrypts your password and creates the .htpasswd file, as well as setting the correct security-enhanced file permissions on both.

7. Remove the Meta Tag Version string from your header.php file

Of course, if you’re running version 2.0 and the current release is 2.3 AND your blog explicitly states that it’s at 2.0 on every page, it’s not going to be very hard for someone to find your vulnerable blog and attack it. The line looks like this:

<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” />

8. Block WP- folders from the search engines - There is no need to have all of your filesWordpress files indexed by Google, so it’s best to block them in your robots.txt file. Add the following line to your list:Disallow: /wp-*

9. Take regular backups of your site and Database.

You always have to take regular backups of your file directories as well as the database. WordPress Database Backup plugin creates backups of your core WordPress tables as well as other tables of your choice in the same database.

10. Protect Your Blog With a Solid Password

Creating a strong password that is also memorable is one of the easiest defenses against being hacked. There are a lot of online password strength checker that you could check.

Also you might check lorelle’s article on blogherald called Protect Your Blog With a Solid Password, offering tips and tricks to help create a strong password that is also memorable, and how to deal with all the myriad passwords we seem to accumulate online.

why-so-many-people-fail-in-affiliate-marketing

More and More people are lured into affiliate marketing and you might be one of them. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the most effective means of generating a full time income through the Internet. It is a fair deal between the merchandiser and his affiliates as both benefit from each sale materialized. Like in other kinds of business, a great deal of the profit is in affiliate marketing depends on the affiliates advertising, promoting and selling strategies. Everyday, as affiliate marketing industry expands, competition heightens as well so an affiliate marketer must be creative enough to employ unique and effective ways to convince potential buyers to purchase or avail of the products and services offered. 

Compared to traditional advertising practices, affiliate programs are more effective, risk free and cost efficient. But why do many people still fail in affiliate marketing? There are a lot of reasons and a lot of areas in the program to look into. The most critical aspect in the affiliate program is advertising. Many affiliate marketers fail in this aspect because they lack hard work, which is the most important thing in affiliate marketing and in all other kinds of business as well. Although it pays to be lucky, you cannot merely rely on it. Affiliate marketing is not as simple as directing customers to the business site. If you want to earn big, of course, you have to invest time and great amount of hard work in promoting the products. As earlier mentioned, the competition is very high and customers nowadays are very wise, too. After all, who does not want to get the best purchase that is, to pay less and get more in terms of quantity and quality.

Lack of preparation is also a reason why one fails in affiliate marketing, whether he is a merchandiser or an affiliate. Part of the preparation is researching. On the part of the merchant, he has to be highly selective in choosing the right affiliate websites for his affiliate program. In order to be sure he has the best choices, he must have exhausted his means in looking for highly interested affiliates whose sites are sure fit to his products and services. The affiliate sites visitors must match his targeted customers. On the other hand, the affiliate marketer must likewise research on the good paying merchandisers before he signs up for an affiliate program. He must ensure that the merchant products and services match his interests so he can give his full attention and dedication to the program. He can get valuable information by joining affiliate forums, comparing different affiliate programs and reading articles on affiliate marketing where he can get tips from experienced affiliate marketers on how to choose the best merchants and products with high conversion rate. 

The website is a very important tool in the whole affiliate program. As an affiliate marketer, you should plan how your site is going to be, from domain name to the design, the lay out, the content, and ads. Some users are particular about what they see at first glance and thus when they find your site ugly, they would not read through the content even if your site has many things to say and offer. On the other hand, there those who want information more than anything else. Affiliate marketers with “rich content” web sites are usually the ones who prosper in this business because the content improves traffic to the site. Websites with high quality contents with relevant keywords and more importantly, right information about the product and not empty hyped up advertisements allow you to earn big in affiliate marketing even when you are asleep. If you would not be able to sustain the interest of your site visitor, you would not be able to lead him to the merchant site. No click through means no sale and thus, no income on your part. 

Selecting a top level domain name is also crucial to the success of the affiliate program. Lots of affiliate sites do not appear in the search engine results because they are deemed by affiliate managers as personal sites. Major search engines and directories would think of your site as transient ones and thus, they would not list it in the directory. Before you decide on the domain name, know first what you are going to promote. Many fail because their sites are not appropriately named, so even when they feature the exact products the customer is looking for, the customer might think the site is not relevant and thus, would not enter the site. 

Above all, an affiliate marketer must be willing to learn more. Certainly, there are still a lot of things to learn and so an affiliate marketer must continue to educate himself so he can improve his marketing strategies. Many fail because they do not grow in the business and they are merely concerned about earning big quickly. If you want long term and highly satisfactory results, take time to learn the ins and outs of the business. Continue to improve your knowledge especially with the basics in affiliate marketing ranging from advertising to programming, web page development, and search engine optimization techniques. Likewise, study the needs and wants of your site users and how different merchandisers compete with each other. 

Keep on trying; do not get disappointed if your first attempts did not pay off. Thousands are attracted by the possibility of generating skyrocketing incomes through affiliate marketing and so they sign up in any affiliate program without carefully understanding every aspect of the business. When they do not get instant results, they quit and sign up for another program and repeat the process of just copying links and referring them to others. When you sign up for an affiliate program, do not expect to get rich in an instant. Work on your advertising strategies and be patient. You will never know how much you can get if you do not persevere.

blog-marketing-tips

Blog marketing is something that has really peaked an interest in the online world. Many people across the internet are blogging, and have blogs. A blog is also known as a web log. But you will hear the term blog more often than the term web log. It basically is just an online journal that you can use and publish for the world to read. Whether you choose to write about personal things, or business. Maybe you want to use it to promote products or services. The way you use your blog is totally up to you. However, you should be aware of the scams that are out there, and what to avoid while you are trying to market your blog.

Blog marketing or really any kind of marketing has scams. Just like everything else you are going to come around. There is always someone that is wanting to scam someone else and take money from the ones that do not know better. So what can you do to protect yourself? The best way to protect yourself from blog marketing scams is to become familiar with them, and know what they are. While this can also be hard to do because the scams change as much as you change your clothes, just stay on top of them, and know what to be looking out for.

Many times when a blog marketing scam surfaces, you will find that someone is going to write about it. They are going to try and warn others before they can fall into it. So, just make sure that you read and know what you are getting into. Do your research when you are marketing your blog. Ask others if they have heard about something that you are interested in doing. Chances are, if you are wanting to pay for some marketing of your blog, that you will find someone else that has used every company out there. Get feedback from your fellow marketers for the best results. Ask them if they have recommendations, or know of places that are legitimate.

If you have been scammed, chances are there is not much that you can do other than get the word out about it. However, just remember, if you have paid someone through something like paypal that protects you, then you have a time limit to get your money back and freeze the scammers account. But, that does not always work. Most of the time the scammers are all ready aware of things like that, and they work fast to move to not be caught. If that is the case, you really can not do much else about it other than alert the proper authorities and count your losses.

While there are many that will scam you with blog marketing, there are also many that will not. There are just so many legitimate resources that you are going to find that you can use and trust. The best thing to do if you are new to the blog marketing world is to ask around and find out who is the best for the marketing that you are trying to do. Doing so will often keep you from falling into a scam, and throwing your hard earned money away.

Unfortunately, you are going to come across those that have no regrets what so ever about scamming others. The only thing that you can do is your research at times to make sure that you are using a service or person that you can trust. Ask for references, and make sure that you will be getting the best that you can afford. You will not regret it in the long run, and it will pay off to check someone or a service out before you go and invest your hard earned cash. Actually contact the services or person’s references to make sure that they are who they say, and that they can deliver what it is that you are looking for. It only takes time.

I’ll be glad if you can Share me your opinions :)
