I keep getting email from these guys, same exact message etc. The main thing they want you to do is open the zip file, and click on the exe inside to install a trojan. Guys, I didn’t fall for it the first time, I’m not going to fall for it the 100th time, so stop sending me this crap.
Dear customer!
We failed to deliver the postal package which was sent on the 18th of December in time
because the recipient’s address is wrong.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department.
United Parcel Service of America.
Some say FedEx some say DHL, some say USPS, seriously guys just knock it off. Obviously they have a ton of mail servers with different IP’s and keep cloaking their mailing addresses. I’ll look into it further if I get the time.
Not a terrible attempt though, I’m sure they’re getting a lot of people installing their trojan. They have the exe packed pretty well to avoid anti-virus and have it cloaked to look like an excel file. No doubt my email was just harvested from this site so I’m going to switch up my email some more.

I always like it when CPA networks send me stuff, the latest is a flip mino camera from clickbooth, which is pretty awesome. It’s small yet takes decent video. I hate carrying bulky things around for video really, and sadly (even though I could easily afford one) I don’t have an iPhone or anything, mainly because I don’t use the phone enough to justify the monthly costs.
So this will work perfectly for me, took a small video of me playing tetris on tetrisfriends…
Also gotta thank MarketLeverage for the gift cards they’ve sent over the past few months. Haven’t sent much revenue there lately, but I probably will in the future. Bought some clothes with those gift cards

I’m not sure why I haven’t played with this already, but awhile ago I didn’t have much cash, so I never picked one up. I had a generic linksys router. Guess what? It crashed all the time if I put it under any type of load at all. The best wireless encryption on it was WEP, which I know first hand how easy that is to crack. I wouldn’t really think anyone around here would know how to do it, but you never know because I live here, and I know how to do it
DD-WRT is pretty easy to install, I’ve had to do much more in the past to get a modified firmware up and running. Mine came pre-flashed though, it was pretty cheap on eBay, so I don’t have first hand experience, but in the past I’ve had to solder certain points and jtag the device in order to flash it. I’ve also used telnet in the past to flash, so the steps for this router seem all too familiar.
Anyway, just from playing with this router I love it. So many things I can tweak and mess with. Mostly, what I’ve done so far is setup WPA2…

Lots of people seem to think this lifestyle is easy going, well it’s not. Let’s just clear that up right now. All sorts of stuff goes wrong all the time. If you think you can just sit around on the beach and make money without lifting a finger, it doesn’t work that way.
Affiliate Marketing in a nutshell: Test, Test, Test, Analyze, Analyze, Analyze, Test, Test, Test, Analyze, Analyze… That’s really all there is to it, I mean in simplified terms. Of course this comes more into play for ppc/paid traffic type stuff, which is basically all I do. SEO/EMAIL is basically the same thing, but maybe a little different. I’ve done SEO in the past, but email is on my list of things to learn.
I work with a couple different people, adnetworks, affiliate managers, and some other people that help with design etc on my landers. I have to keep track of my funds on a daily basis, and analyze campaigns currently running, daily. More work pops up when I start a new vertical, this is an entire new project and requires lots and lots of work, tweaking, and money to bring money back.
The longer you’ve been working with this…
