basic html, some frames (remember these?) a few pics, exact match domain name, add content and build some backlinks... rinse and repeat ready for google adsense in 2003 for your $100k a day profit.. back when it was really easy to make bank online.

Takes me about 10 mins per post to find a captcha that I can actually see. Half the time the slider doesn't show up. At least they have tweaked it slightly now that it remembers your post, at first you had to copy everything and open a new reply window if you failed the captcha. I used 4chan a lot (pol occasionally, x a lot, o a lot) because I like relatively freedom of speech and now I use it like 10% what I did before because the captcha fails so much.

Ironically the blatent bots have already circumvented it.

Consequences are one hell of a thing.

This is what happens when you direct link.

Ie FB ad - conversion.

Instead you want a showy FB ad that takes them to a landing page that looks like your website (native) to build trust, maybe have them answer some questions to get qualified etc. There's numerous ways to filter out "bad traffic".

Depends what you care about more, revenue or a more humanitarian customer experience.

There's plugins like "Miserable User" available to get rid of members without offense / them knowing (unless they are intelligent).

Or you could just...ask them to be less grumpy?

"One is a hard worker and adds so much value to a different part of the site that it is difficult to envision asking them to leave." Agreed. putting up with that might be the duality involved.

We still do, it's called native advertising and it's a HUGE market.

What did you think of the Stuxnet code from your perspective? Was it clear who made it from the start, and what it's purpose was? (Iran or China vs India?). Thanks.

Isn't this what 5-eyes have been doing with MiniX3? etc

I based my decision on liking mountains and the sea, so I live near mountains and the sea. I prefer solitude, I have no friends by choice, and I work online. In my time off I either go to the beach (in the summer) or I go hike mountains.

I like mountains.

Mass. I like to buy cheap clothes. I don't ever want to stand out as "rich person" to anyone... and in some cases it is preferable to just buy a completely new set of clothes rather than having to wash the current set (time management).

A house.

100% srs.

Buy the land and build your own house. You will learn so much... and you will make a load of money too!

Unless you put criminal sites in the filter, I can't see how this will help? And if you do...you it will trigger an alert and then they can hax you...legally.

Lose lose all round now.

Glad this topic came up here. So my question is...how to block it? VPN?

Also what stops them selling access to this?

If it is actually good (ie, you stand by it, proudly!) then put it on Amazon KDP and link to that high up before your landing page (which is your website it appears).

You can even drive traffic right to it, ie from FB ads to the amazon link... and if you have positive reviews then it should sell if you target the right people.

And drop the price also in line with the rest.

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, and it's sequel, Homeland. Actually more of a "what if" set in the US at present time but still shows how there is a very narrow gap between current times and the time predicted in the book!

I can't code. I really want to and have tried A LOT but I am the type of person who needs to know why "main( )" is there, or what the /n does in hello world...nowhere tells you that. It just is.

Therefore I can't learn.

Also I found with html that by the time I had got to more advanced tags I had forgotten the newbie ones.

My software firewall/AV did it's job with the Eicar test file!

No, because when the competition goes bankrupt, they put their prices up and quality no longer matters.

And thus, evil corporation monopolys form.

You could get a seedbox for your torrents, and use it as a tunnel to browse the torrent sites?

I'm not looking at moving for about 5 years. Just want a backup plan now in case of problems (ISIS basically).

They have been doing stuff like this for ages.

If you sell a product on amazon and they decide they want in, you are forced to give them your source or they terminate you. Then they go to your source (or more likely their source) and buy in bulk then undercut you or minimise your listing... and so you are priced out of the market.

Make sure they don't take advantage and have you working 2+ roles instead of one for the pay of 1!

QUORA but is next to impossible to write answers. I write a 500 word post with top grammar and spelling and the bot just deletes it for "spelling".

To be fair, Blahtherapy is not the cola cola of the internet. I had never heard of it before this post.

It is more like creating a cola that is exactly like "Richmond Cola" but 20% better.

Also there are hundreds of brands of better tasting beers out there yet they have to compete with Stella Artois and they manage..

Blahtherapy has 850 backlinks.

They have 0 Adword traffic - so if they are using paid traffic for advertising it is not at Google.

They monetize their site via Google Adsense though.

My thoughts lead to the conclusion they use organic and maybe blackhat SEO and probably did the old trick of leaving their domain on comments before people got wise to this.

On the plus side they get A LOT of traffic so the demand is there.

Anything by Dell, Ilyama, NEC or Asus for that price.

It is arbitrage.

Publisher (him) pays a company $xx per install.

Company (ad network) offers this to its advertisers who get payed $xx-x per install.

Advertisers advertise this app with their own creatives and angles (normally have to be approved by publisher or at very least the ad network as well as their traffic source) on different traffic sources such as FB ads, Google Adverts, and other networks. The advertisers are media buyers - they buy media and sell media and use arbitrage to make positive ROI.

This is what paid installs is.

The arbitrage idea is that you generate positive ROI (return on investment) from your P2W or IAP making more per customer than it costs to get that customer playing your game.

Right on the GCHQ website it states: "In addition, we are also pleased to announce that GCHQ and MI5 are working with their US partners to further strengthen UK-US collaboration on cyber security ..."

I think it is fair to say they all use the same tools!

I am an entrepreneur still.

It is a hard long lonely slog. You spend most of your daylight hours working and most of your weekends working too. When your friends are all out partying you are catching up on sleep. BUT you obviously have a far greater chance of the big payout than they do...

My company is semi passive income so thinking of a "normal job" on the side just to interact with others.
