Reduce spam in your email [how to tips]

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:46:40 +0000

If you are fed up wiht the amount of spam emails you receive, here are some tips to help increase them to minimum.

Unsubscribe
There is a common misconception that if you click on the unsubscribe button your email will not be removed off their list and you will continue receiving the emails

I would suggest take out some time on Sunday or a holiday and unsubscribe from the spam emails that you are getting.

You may be surprised that this alone might help in reducing the number of spam emails that you get. This can really make a BIG difference.
Use Gmail
Gmail is the email service by Google, it is considered the best when it comes to fighting the spam .

The reason why Gmail is better in fighting with spam as compared to other email providers is that google maintains a list of banned Ip addresses that are used to send spam over the internet.

Th automatic spam guard is so strong that i rarely get any spam email once i have started using Gmail.
Do not subscribe until you really want
There are many advertisements on the internet that ask you to subscribe to get special offers.

Make sure you do not subscribe to each and every one of them. In many cases you never receive the information that was promised but your mailbox is bombarded with lots of offers.

Working from home ads in newspaper with google really works?

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:27:10 +0000

There is a storm of advertisements both online and offline about working from home advertisements in the newspaper.

These ads claim that if you buy their package they will not only send you a complete guide on making money on the internet, but also provide you with a blog set up. The blog set up package is usually a set of insurance articles which are considered most profitable in the industry.

People who are new to the world of internet and computers do not mind spending some bucks to do a course that will help them making a bit of money. But the worst part is that these guides often try to teach them to trick the google system and provoke for click fraud.

This way many of the buyers and users of such guides end up getting their Adsense account banned for life.

Hopefully people get more internet savvy and stop buying guides from such quacks.

If you are someone who is looking to make money on the internet, then i would strongly suggest you to visit the free forums like DigitalPoint and WarriorForum you will get all the information you will ever need.

Second, if you do not know good basics of the computer, managing an online business could be slightly difficult and challenging.
