To Facebook or not to facebook

By Zo Nicholas

Facebook or not to facebook

If you are a Twitter or Facebook fan its time to watch your step. It’s more than just fun online, its also about …..Bugs!

The more doors we open the more we are open to these nuisances. It’s time to learn to read the small print and ‘Caveat Emptor’ – Let the buyer beware, in this case user beware!

Watch the tweets!

Watch the tweets!

Twitter and Facebook

Just as Yorgo wrote in his post regarding fake facebook  phishing mails there is also a Twitter bug which sends out ’feel good’ direct messages. If only the owners of such bugs would put their energies into creating something useful to society we would applaud them all.

Facebook Phishing Mails

By Yorgo Nestoridis


Attention: Fake Facebook Mails

Like banks, Paypal, Twitter and others, Facebook is increasingly subject to phishing scams. How to recognize Phishing and Fake Mails?

Phishing for Facebook

The first goal of the scam is to obtain your login credentials to your Facebook account. Here is the mail I have just received:

Facebook Phishing Mail

Facebook Phishing Mail

1. The sender email address looks suspicious.

2. The receiving address is not an email address registered with Facebook, in fact this address does not exist but comes through based on the catch-all function of the mail box.

3. The Subject line is not capitalized – suspicious.

4. if you pass your mouse over (don’t click!) the update button or over the

5. … “click here” link, you see at the bottom of your frame the actual…

6. …target address. The address is not a facebook address, but some scam sub-domain of a .co.uk domain.

How to deal with Phishing Mails

Turn on phishing filters in your system and security software.

Never click on any link in a suspicious mail! Block sender and delete the mail.

You may report the issue to Facebook providing full headers and eventual source code of the mail.

What this Phishing Scam does

If you follow the link in the mail, you are directed to a fake Facebook Login screen with your email address allready filled in. The password field is blank. If you fill in the password, the cyber criminals get full access to your facebook account.

But there is worse:

Zeus Banking Trojan

A pop-up appears inviting you to download an “update tool” which actually installs “ZeuS banking Trojan”. This Trojan waits to steal your banking data next time you type them in.

Check out the Facebook security page for further info.

YORGOO Developments

by Bianca Gubalke

YORGOO Developments

today is a special day – a bit sad as a successful era that was perfect at its time is over… but then also very positive as YORGOO Developments are reaching out for new horizons that take us further on our mutual “Path to Profitability”. . .  online that is.

YORGOO Hibernates

YORGOO Developments

YORGOO Developments

YORGOO Developments aim at being on top of Trends.

Most of you reading this post are Members of YORGOO, the most successful independent and members-owned Downline Builder.

However, let’s face it: since Web2.0 the Internet has changed and as you have seen over the past 2-3 years, we adapted accordingly and built Websites and Blogs with high visibility on Google Top 10 – where the REAL Traffic was and… is.

But… Social Networks have become increasingly powerful and dominant. This incredible success was not forseeable and it’s linked to huge investments. They succeeded in setting up something fantastic… if one  makes good use of it.

The fact is that one has to be where the people are. . . where the Buzz is!

The fact is that everyone with a public profile is on Facebook for instance. It’s all about people,  a pool of people – and we need to filter out the people we are interested in, using for instance geo-targeted Search functions. Communities are create,  people do business locally or share hobbies. But one may not forget that the vast majority of space is occupied by people communicating with friends and family or enjoying one or the other form of entertainment – it’s not a business enviroment – but it’s extremely important when building our Authority, our reputation.

This also means that  Traffic Exchanges that worked so well in the past, are no longer the trend.

Ask yourself when YOU surfed for the last time and you have your answer.

Free Traffic Free Leads – New Orientation

“Free Traffic Free Leads” by YORGOO gets on a new Orientation course and will be taken off the net for about 3 months.

YORGOO is and always was about People.

Communication and Connecting people and Teams to work together for Web Traffic and Lead Generation the YORGOO way has been great to develop income at a time when many online businesses were based on building vertical referral structures.

These times are over.

Google Top 10

The growing importance of Google Traffic a few years ago, also for home business builders… and the increasing cost of Google Ads, lead YORGOO to refocus. Together with its online Educational Program Ycademy and with Semiomantics, YORGOO subscribers started to build highly visible niche sites based on WordPress powered by Semiomantics. The goal was to conquer Google top 10 spots on relevant keywords with well edited and published quality content.

The success has been outstanding and it is visible all over Google.

However. . .

Social Networks

Web 2.0 developments, especially the appearance and massive success of Social Networks opened new avenues for online business developers, namely in the field of Lead Generation. While these social networks – such as ‘MySpace’ and ‘Facebook’ – have been closed environments for a long time, they have started to open access and to allow for a much better flow and exchange of information and content.

Large Social Networks attract people and generate traffic second only to Google. It is thus important to provide services that assist home business developers to make their products and services available in these high traffic environments associated with a personal profile and behavior which inspires confidence and. . . Trust. And builds Empathy.

Trust and Empathy! And of course we need to be findable!

So we are back to building our Authority and Reputation – or rather to continue doing so as Ycademy Seminar participants have been doing  just that over the past few years – publishing successfully in Search Engine environments – in a keyword-oriented way – and to be found.
The results have been impressive.

YORGOO Lite

YORGOO Lite will help keeping our presence over the transitional period – estimation 3 months – with thorough research, developments and implementation of our new YORGOO program software and new YORGOO products taking place quietly in the background. It means that YORGOO will be taken temporarily from the net to develop and release a new, future-oriented site by January 29, 2010, the 5th anniversary of YORGOO.

Here’s to a new beginning – Together We Are Unbeatable!

Meanwhile… let’s continue building Trust and Empathy and ensure that People find us!

YORGOO new Orientation

By Yorgo Nestoridis


YORGOO Free Leads and Free Traffic

Time has come to refocus YORGOO. The bases for YORGOO, back in 2005, were Traffic Exchange Programs, Safe-lists and related programs, corresponding to the needs of low-budget Home Business developers.

Free Leads

Free Leads has always been a major YORGOO Keyword. Connecting people and allowing for teams to work together on traffic and lead generation was a great way to develop income at a time when many online businesses were based on building vertical referral structures.

YORGOO Free Leads

YORGOO Free Leads on Google Top 10



Free Traffic

Free traffic by using free programs to promote lead capture pages has built for many a first online income. The growing importance of Google Traffic a few years ago, also for home business builders and the increasing cost of Google Ads, lead YORGOO to refocus it’s action 2 years ago; together with it’s online Educational Program Ycademy and with Semiomantics,YORGOO subscribers started to build highly visible niche sites based WordPress and powered by Semiomantics. The goal was to conquer Google top 10 spots on relevant keywords with well edited and published quality content.

The success is visible all over Google where we have been building content.

Web 2.0 and Social Networks

Web 2.0 developments, namely the arrival and success of social networks opened new avenues for online business developers, namely in the field of Lead Generation. While these social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook have been closed environments for a long time, they have started to open access and to allow for a better flow and exchange of information and content.

Social Networks attract people and generate traffic second only to Google. It is therefore important to provide services which help home business developers to make their products and services available in these high traffic environments associated with a personal profile and behavior which inspires confidence and trust.

YORGOO and Social Networks

The present program software and content of YORGOO are outdated and do not allow for development into the direction we need to target. Development and implementation of new YORGOO program software and products will take an estimated 3 months.

We will therefore temporarily take down YORGOO from the net to develop and release a new, future oriented site by January 29, 2010, the 5th anniversary of YORGOO.

More to come.

Windows 7

by Bianca Gubalke

Windows 7

Windows 7 – finally! Here’s my first post from Windows 7 . . . and with quite some programs still missing, especially Adobe Photoshop and all my pictures! So I have to get some magic out of NextGenGallery!

Bianca Gubalke Images

Windows 7

Windows 7 is all geared for Multi Media and needs a lot of punch; that’s where the imminent future is and as Web Designers, Internet Marketers and anyone involved in Online Communication and Social Media Publishing we’ve got to prepare for it now.  I just did a clean and painless Windows 7 installation on a new 500 GB harddrive and I invested in a good Media efficient Graphics Card! I spent most of the day downloading and installing all the programs we need, be in SmartFTP, PSpad Editor or Mozilla Firefox… and then I looked at Security! Ha!

Windows 7 Security in South Africa

Following Yorgo Nestoridis’ wise instructions on Windows 7 Security sounded good and the right thing to do: to download Microsoft Security Essentials after investing in Microsoft’s Windows 7… (. . . following the costly Vista experience that is :)

But while it seems that the money is good never mind where it comes from, some countries are just treated differently than others, even in the “global village” of the Internet… – and in South Africa we just get this encouraging message:

“Not available in your country or region

You appear to be in a country or region where Microsoft Security Essentials is not available. Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Security Essentials.”

BANG!

Avast! for Online Security

Here’s for my South African friends:  I’m back with an AV program I have always been very happy with – and I tested many of them over the years: I stick with Avast! for Online Security.

Free for Home users… and a decent price for Business Accounts… and most importantly: they are GOOD and AVAILABLE… even at the end of the world… as if that mattered online :)
