After the “disaster ” happen to my site, now I backup my databases daily. But I do it manually. And recently I stumbled to this site on how to automatically backup your wordpress database. The only things that you need are this WP-Cron and WordPress Database Backup. BTW I assumed that you have already install Wordpress Database Backup plugin. If not, you need to download the plugin and install it first before you can proceed.
With WP-Cron plugin, you can schedule your wordpress to backup and send the backup file to your email. Here how to do it:
- You need to download this WP-Cron plugin
- Extract the wp-cron.php file into /wp-content/plugins
- Activate the plugin in Plugin panel
- Then go to Manage > Backup
- Make sure Daily in Schedule is checked and type in the email where you want the file will be sent to.
- Tick other tables that you want to include.
- Click Submit.
- Lastly, wait the attached email to your inbox.
Cypher: I must say that this is really great plugin. I really recommend for you all to download and use this plugin. [tags]how to, backup, cron job, plugin[/tags]
This is a warning to all of internet bloggers. Please, please and please backup your database(s) each time you publish new posts to your website. I don’t want what had happen to me maybe someday will happen to you.
Recently, my site has problem with 403 error in all subfolders under cypherhackz.net including subdomains. At first, I thought I did something wrong but I’m sure I didn’t edit any permissions that will give me the 403 Forbidden page. So I asked my hosting provider to check it out. After awhile, they reply my email and said that they have fixed the problem and my site is ready to go.
So I open up my site then I got this page:
My first impression when read this was shock, angry, frust, sad, everything negatives came into my mind. I don’t know what had happen to my database. Why it got disappeared? I don’t want to blame my hostee. I don’t want to blame anyone. Although I have some backup files but my last backup was 21st September. And it quite old. Hmm… Want or not, I have to use the backup file.
So my advice to those who read this is, always backup your databases. Don’t let this happen to you. Thanks you for your time… [tags]backup, tips, secure[/tags]
ps: Is my site load slower than before?
I would like to ask you bloggers, what happen with your olds posts? Old that I mean here are posts that have been leave down far at the bottom of your archives.
I start thinking about this yesterday when I glance through my own posts in my archives and thought what will happen with all of my old posts. Do people read them? Do I need to delete all of these old posts to clear my spaces? (sure I will not delete them lol…) Should I republish these posts? Many questions came into my head yesterday.

Notepad is a software that comes with Windows. If you install Windows, Notepad will automatically install in your computer. With Notepad, you can write or open any files that you want. Some of the files are readable and some are not. Before this, I only use Notepad or sometimes Wordpad to write or edit my website source codes. But after I knew about EditPlus, I edit all of my .php and .htm files with it.
EditPlus? What is it?
EditPlus is another text editor that can do more than Notepad. You can write or modify your site files by using this powerful software. It offers many features for website authors and programmers.

I am looking for what are the highest paying keywords in adsense. And what I got is differ from what I thought before. I thought the top paying keywords are something like gadgets, nano-technology, etc but the top paying keywords are:
- online casino
- online gambling
- buy xanax
- gambling casino
- valium online
Online casino is the highest paying keyword with maximum price $6.39 
(this may change by the time). If you want to get more from your adsense, make a website contain with this keyword. Lol… Just kidding.
Actually it doesn’t matter whether your site have high paying keywords or not, the most important is your site must have good quality content, have something that can attract peoples to visit your site regularly and it give benefits to your readers.

Everyday you update your blog. You write about your life and post it on your site. But no one reads them. Then you try writiting about latest technology and gadgets hoping that you will get some comments from readers on the next day but still, not many people comes to your site. But you still continue posting and updating your site everyday, every night. After some period, you realized that you need to promote and advertise your site but you don’t know how.
Here I will share with you some tips on how to promote and get more readers to your site. I’m no expert in site advertising or marketing but I have some little knowledge that I want to share with you.
Join bloggers forum
Join and participate in bloggers forum or portals. Introduce yourself and brief politely about your site. Tell them what your site is about. I’m sure in every bloggers forum, there is a section where you can promote or show off your blog. Post something there.
Describe your blog and invite them to visit. If the forum admin enable signature in post (usually it is enable), put your site link in your signature. That way, peoples can see your site link when you post or reply someone’s post on the forum.
Visit other blogs
You must start it first. Don’t wait people come to your site. Visit other member�s blog and drop them some comments about their blog posts. Don’t give comments say something like, “Hey, nice site!” or “I love your site. Cool!” but give comments that relate to their posts. If they read your comment, they also will visit back to your site.
Another way is, if your post same like other people post, trackback their post. I assume you know how to use trackback.
