Umobile cannot send text messages to Globe numbers
My husband tried to send me a message using his newly received umobile sim card yesterday but the message did not reach me. He sent a message to his bestfriend and the dude got the message. Hubby’s friend is using a smart sim card, I am using a globe number. It seems that Umobile cannot send text messages to Globe subscribers. We tried sending messages to my globe number for the second and third time but no message ever arrived in my cellphone so I guess there is a “blockade” between globe and umobile which I believe is powered by the smart mobile network. I am not sure if I am the only one who experiences this but hopefully this will be fixed soon. More»

How Spammers Use Your Email Ad to Send Junks Mails
Spammers can use your email address to send unsolicited emails and you may just realize they did when you start receiving numerous non delivery messages in your mailbox.
Have you ever received an email message that looks like this?
This type of email is called a Non Delivery Report or NDR. These messages also come by the name Delivery Status Notifications (DSN) and “bounce messages”.This is the message that email users often receive when the message that they have sent failed to be received by the recipient. NDRs are actually helpful because they help email users know when they were unsuccessful in sending their electronic messages. However, some people are starting to receive NDR messages regardless that they have not sent messages to the supposed recipients. This is now referred to as an occurrence of NDR spam or backscatter spam.
How Spammers Use Somebody Else’s Email to Send Junk Mails
NDR spam occurs when somebody receives NDR messages without him actually sending such email messages. How did this happen? Spammers used to harvest email addresses to send spam messages. Nowadays, however, they can also use these addresses as senders of their junk messages. Spammers may use your email address when sending spam messages and when this happens, you receive the non delivery notification when a recipient’s email does not exist.
How to Stop NDR Spam
Prevention is better than cure, they say, and this applies in avoiding the hassles of being a target of NDR spams. Among the best ways to block ndr spam are to avoid displaying your email address in text form in the world wide web and to use efficient anti spam filters. It also helps if you have a separate email when registering for trivial sites and web memberships. People who sign up for “free product updates” and free jokes are also more at risk of being victimized by spammers.
More information about backscatter spam is available in the NDR spam white paper released by the GFI software company.

SEO Strategies that do not Work
There are several ways on how to rank well in the search engine results page but there are so called SEO myths that many website owners and even bloggers adopt to rank well in the SERP or at least to get higher page rank. Worse, some people still endorse these strategies unaware that such SEO methods do not work. What are these SEO myths and fallacies? Here are some of the popular SEO strategies that do not work:
1. Link Exchange. Link exchange particularly excessive exchanging of links can have negative results in a site’s ranking. This was mentioned under “Link schemes” in Google’s webmaster help center. I am not saying it is bad to exchange link. Blogrolls are essential in the blogging community but website owners should practice exchanging links for other purposes other than for SEO. Blogrolls, for example, can be used to drive direct traffic to your friends’ sites or to your other blogs.
2. Use of meta keywords. I have been using the keyword field of the All in One SEO Pack for as long as I can remember only to realize that my efforts were useless. Thanks to the SEO Fast Start ebook by Dan Thies who discussed about the irrelevance of meta keywords. Meta description is important as this can improve click through rates in the SERP but meta keywords are now being ignored by the search engine. A better alternative to using the meta keyword is to strategically incorporate your important keyword in the meta description and by strategically, I mean putting your important keyword in the first few words of your post description.
3. Keyword stuffing. Keyword density does NOT matter. You do not have to repeat a keyword over and over again for your page to rank well in that particular keyword. Humans hate spams and search engines hate sites that spam keywords. The “ideal keyword density”, or what can be considered as just the right number of a keyword’s occurrence so a page cannot be considered as spammy by the search engines vary among webmasters. There are in fact tools that measure keyword density but there is one trick to make sure your article is not overstuffed with keywords: Read your article and if it already sounds silly because you always use your keyword instead of using some pronouns, you are already abusing your keywords.
PS. i am still working out on NOT to overstuff my articles with keywords.
