This is an update on the Blog Rush widget. I feel that i’ve given it more than a chance to generate some traffic and it just doesnt commit… I see that the big wigs have given up on the failed project already notice Mr Show Money has removed it quite some time ago and he was probably the only fool to get any traffic from it.. my thoughts on Blog Rush… it sucks and not worth the effort take it from me two thumbs down!

Here is a very useful mysql database that includes U.S. state names with their abbreviations you can download it in plain text here. Just load up phpMyAdmin and import it into a new database. I found this very useful for making dating/personals websites without having to manually enter all the state names into individual tables. Here is how the database is setup:

#State names and abbreviations mysql database
#http://www.cashvolume.com
#

drop table if exists state;

create table state
(
state_id smallint unsigned not null auto_increment comment ‘Unique state ID’,
state varchar(32) not null comment ‘State name’,
state_abbr varchar(8) comment ‘State abbreviation’,

primary key (state_id)
);

insert into state
values
(NULL, ‘Alabama’, ‘AL’),
(NULL, ‘Alaska’, ‘AK’),
(NULL, ‘Arizona’, ‘AZ’),
(NULL, ‘Arkansas’, ‘AR’),
(NULL, ‘California’, ‘CA’),
(NULL, ‘Colorado’, ‘CO’),
(NULL, ‘Connecticut’, ‘CT’),
(NULL, ‘Delaware’, ‘DE’),
(NULL, ‘District of Columbia’, ‘DC’),
(NULL, ‘Florida’, ‘FL’),
(NULL, ‘Georgia’, ‘GA’),

Last night I implemented a bot trap that I coded up in PHP on one of my sites. Its just a little bit of code saved into a page thats linked off the index.php of my website. I used robots.txt to disallow access for bots that follow the rules and used empty anchor text for the link so that it would be invisible to human eyes. What the bot trap basically does is record any access to the file and logs the IP by sending an email and then automatically appends to the .htacces file a deny from that IP which effectively blocks any further access coming from that IP address. Be careful this works really well I actually ended up blocking my IP address from testing the system out and had to manually edit the .htaccess file via FTP to unblock myself.

I know MyBlogLog is old news. I’ve been meaning to setup an account on MyBlogLog for a while now just never had an overwhelming reason to do it. Well yesterday I was poking around and reading some new blogs mostly just slacking and semi avoiding doing anything useful (lazy monday evening). On one blog in particular I will keep the url private out of respect for its owner. I noticed that it was displaying some VERY irrelevant Google Adsense Ad’s Tramadol, Cialis, Daizapam that kinda stuff. This was a Internet Marketing Blog mind you an there was NO reference to these kinda products whatsoever. So I got nosey and poked around in the source code and found all these hidden links linking back to sketchy pharmacy neighborhoods Oi Vay! I believe this is a problem similar to the one described here on SEO EGGHEAD.

Well to make a long story short the only way I could find to contact the blogger was via MyBlogLog so I went ahead and joined up (which was long over due to begin with) and notified the blogger about the hack. If your a member of MyBlogLog please feel free to check out my Cash Volume Community and add me to your friends, family, contacts list.

Google Images is a great tool for locating images that are indexed in the google search engine but when a user comes across an image that is hosted on your site they are brought to a framed up version with the image on top and the rest of your content in the bottom frame. This brings the user to what they were looking for but they are also missing out on all your great content. Well I am going to share with you a quick and EASY technique that can bring your site some extra traffic that would otherwise be lost.

Introducing The Frame Buster!

Thats right just add this 3 lined snippet of code within your tags and from now on when visitors come to your page from google image search the annoying frame will bust and users will be shown your page in its full glory!
