11 Comments

After few days my site been approved by Text Link Ads, I have earned dolars from it by selling one text link ad on my site. If you noticed, there is a link on my sidebar under “Text Link Ads”. The ad will be there until the end of this month.

 

What is Text Link Ads?
Text Link Ads is not a pay per click program like Google AdSense but it is a program where you sell your site space to advertisers. For each text link ads sold, you will get half revenue from it. Let say the text link ad worth about $50, you will get $25 from it. With one link you’ll get $25, how about if you can sell 3 or 4 links or maybe more? You will get more than $100 for that month. There is a webmaster have make $600 just from selling text link ads on his site. Don’t you want to be like him?

Yahoo WebRank is a rank assigned to URL by Yahoo on a scale of 0-10. You can check your website webrank here.

After the release new patches for Firefox, 12 flaws discovered have been patched. Five of the patches issued in Firefox 1.5.0.4 were labeled “critical”. Mozilla has released four security updates to the 1.5 edition since it was made available last November.

Why you need to update your Firefox?
You need to update your Firefox because multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Firefox. HTTP response smuggling attacks, could allow malicious code writer to steal login cookies or other sensitive data if the user has an account at the spoofed website.

Beside than that, hackers can run buffer overflaw to unpatch Firefox that would allow them plant malicious code on victim’s computer. Other flaws could let attacker run malicious JavaScript without the user’s permission.

I have updated my Firefox to the latest version. How about you? 😉
