Web Hosting Resource Kit – Editor’s Opinion 04/2005

Throwing money at issues can solve quite a few problems. Starting a new venture with a bucket full of money can give you a jumpstart. But does throwing money at a problem is really the best approach to reach the target? I doubt it. Recently I watched a company offering money to get content to its website. People were motivated to write content for the new website and to receive money in return. Quite a few people seemed to have signed up for this offer but suddenly there were some issues in regards to the payments visible. Payments seemed to be delayed or not made at all. Other folks reported that their articles were suddenly placed on a different website than originally stated. The ‘customer service responses’ lacked professionalism and did not really help to raise the confidence in the offer. So, quite a few problems were going on – highly visible to the public. Not a good way to throw money at a new website to give it a jumpstart. Well, the problems are partially sorted out from what I can tell but those experiences made by some contributors will certainly stick to the website and can damage its reputation in the long run. For everyone who looks at the bigger picture – keep this kind of lesson in mind. If you throw the money at a problem – make sure the wind is blowing into the direction you want it and not the opposite way.

Owning almost 40 domains and websites makes me a good target for SPAM of different kind. Most of my public facing email addresses are filtered through SPAM Cop – a service I can highly recommend. It cut down the SPAM for most of my badly spammed accounts significantly. I am also operating a blog on the predecessor domain (http://www.webhostingreport.net) of this website. The blog seems to gain more popularity day by day. No, it’s not measured in hundreds or so – it’s a very slow growth. But I can tell already – the SPAM level has reached very popular dimensions. I did not expect that blogs are being spammed that much. I am using WordPress for my blogging software. If you do use it, too – make sure you check out the plugins. I am using the SPAM Karma plugin and man, it works as advertised. It takes care of all the SPAM attacks in no time (in case you are SPAMMING my blog and read this column – you can stop wasting your time – you’re not having success). I wish all SPAM filters would work like SPAM Cop and SPAM Karma. If you offer blog hosting to your clients – I am sure they will appreciate it if you offer these plugins, too.

Until next time …..

Have a great day.
