We Now Offer Spam Stopper

Spam Stopper prevents spammers from mining e-mail addresses from your Web pages. It accomplishes this by converting the mailto hyperlinks contained within a page to JavaScript code that writes HTML to the page at client time.

E-mail address mining software extracts a Web page from the Internet, then searches for mailto links (which means it's an active e-mail address). With Spam Stopper, the lmailto inks are converted to JavaScript elements; therefore the mining software cannot locate your e-mail address, though the page looks the same to the viewer.

In other words, address gathering spam companies have automatic programs that search the Internet looking for e-mail addresses on Web sites. They then add those addresses to their spam database and your inbox starts getting inundated.

All new Web sites produced by us will include the added step of converting all e-mail addresses to JavaScript so the spammers won't be able to find your e-mail address.

For those who already have one of our sites, we'll go back in and convert all your e-mail addresses to JavaScript for a one-time charge of $10.

Contact us  about converting your site and begin to take back your inbox!

Google's AdSense Program

Google has just introduced a new advertising program called "AdSense". It helps operators of small Internet sites automatically place targeted advertising on their content pages and get paid each time a site visitor clicks on one of the ads.

Here's how Google's new advertising program works: To apply online for the program, just go to https://www.google.com/adsense/ and apply for a Google account if you haven't one yet.

Google's editorial team reviews each application to ensure that your site meets their editorial guidelines. This process takes approximately 1-3 days.

To activate the service, you must log into your account and cut and paste a small piece of HTML code and send it to us in an e-mail. We'll take care of all the 'geek' stuff of putting it on your Web site. Once you've been approved by Google, you can monitor ad performance through detailed online reports.

The AdSense program is free. Google pays you an undisclosed amount each time a visitor clicks the advertising link. Although Google does not disclose the revenue split, you can log into your account to get daily information on your click-through rates and earnings.
