A List of Common Passwords Used on Real Internet Hacked Accounts Logins

The Most Common Passwords Compile Sources Used In This Report

Some time ago (2009) … the Internet was 'taken by surprise' when a well known bulletin board script's home website was hacked:

• phpBB.com website hacked
  (through a vulnerability in an outdated version of a third-party script called PHPList, almost 29.000 accounts were exposed)

As a result, the hackers were able to harvest a list of phpBB users emails and passwords.

This was not unprecedented, as in fact another list of passwords was harvested back in 2006 from MySpace, by some people who used a classical phishing scheme, simply making a copy of MySpace on a different server and waiting for users to login (thus getting their login credentials):

• MySpace phishing attack
  (resulting in 34,000 – or even over 47.000 according to other sources – actual user names and passwords)

Warning: I have noticed a very similar trend lately on Skype (August 2010), where recently some Skype accounts were hacked too, then used to send links to all the hacked user's contacts requesting them to login into a phishing copy of Skype's login page to get hold of even more accounts and so forth…

• Skype phishing attack
  (similar but with no disclosed reports yet as of how many have been actually hacked)

The above was not used as a Most Common Passwords resource though, due to lack of detailed info…

Last one to be mentioned, is a Christian dating website, whose database was hacked back in 2009:

• db.Singles.org hack
  (based on a major security flaw that allowed a group called 4chan to get access – at least partially – to the over 40.000 users accounts and passwords; as the stated claimed number of members on that site was…)

The website used querystring parameters to identify a user and the mode the page displayed in yet allowing it to be put it in edit mode without having to be authenticated.

Further down there are a few thoughts regarding the dangers posed by these few (only the known ones) events, but before that, let's see which was the most used password in these lists? 

In my opinion the winner is "123456", closely followed by "password" and their derivatives!  But, read on…

Looks like people just don't get it … right?..

I mean … the password distribution analysis that follows shows how ridiculously simple to hack passwords are still used nowadays…

Most Commonly Used Passwords Analysis by Comparison

I won't pretend I ran this password patterns analysis by myself.  On the contrary, I aggregated data from several known sources as you could see above.  There is a non-exhaustive list of them listed at the bottom of the post though … if you want to read more in depth about all these – but generally the articles are very techie and won't help so much the average Internet user.

I have decided to tell you the story in plain English and simple tables, to see for yourself (an image is better than 1.000 words) – let me show you here a comparison table:

To obtain the lists of most common passwords used on each of the three hacked services shown in the table results above, the study author (Jimmy Ruska) used a total of 116.782 hacked passwords lists in his research, as follows:

• MySpace – 47.380 Phishing Login Passwords
• phpBB.com – 28.644 Hacked Account Passwords
• Singles.org – 40.758 Unsecured Plain Text Account Emails Passwords

… although not all of them 'have made it' to the combined lists of
top 20 most common passwords … however,
the results are definitely interesting to analyze.

There are a number of differences derived both from the way these were obtained:

• In the case of the phishing MySpace attacks, some of the users may still have recognized the attempt and could have input fake info, probably more 'vicious' than their real credentials would have been,
• While the other two are definitely extracted from the databases

on the one hand…

…but also due to the website's specificity and/or demographics
on the other hand:

• Singles.org being a Christian dating site, the occurrences of 'emo' and 'biblical' words is much higher, even the 'password' password is pushed one level down by the word 'jesus' – although I suspect in this case it is just another (twisted) variation of using the website's name (instead of 'christian', 'jesus' in this instance, while the others have their own: 'phpbb' and 'myspace1' where we notice the addition of a trailing '1' just because the signup requires a password containing at least one digit)
• MySpace is mainly a teenager's site, hence many of the passwords have something related to teenagers interests, such as sex, love, sports etc…
• phpBB being a forum, it is debatable how strong the passwords are from the start; it is notorious that on such websites, many users just throw some dump credentials in order to get access to tidbits of information otherwise locked out, but never plan to return there and keep the newly created profiles for future use – hence higher occurrences of numeric passwords, or test etc…

All in all, looking at all those commonly used passwords side-by-side, one cannot miss the pattern:
very, very weak security – so easy to guess passwords, that sometimes there is not even worth using a dedicated software to hack such accounts.

Most Common Passwords Letter Frequencies – "A SIN TO ERR"

A very interesting analysis may be conducted on each letter frequency in the most used passwords list.

For an in-depth analysis of the subject, I found a good starting point on this Wikipedia Letter frequencies article, but the said study took me two days to complete (the cryptography related topics are fascinating!) and I think I'd rather resume my findings for your convenience here.

In certain cryptographic techniques used by spies along the history, knowing the frequency of certain letters for a given language was a must. 

For English, the most commonly used letters are, in order:

ETAON RISHD LFCMU GYPWB VKXJQ Z

Spies used the following mnemonic phrase to be able to easily recall these:
"A SIN TO ERR" (dropping the last 'R' we get the first 8 most used letters in the English Language, although not necessarily in that exact order…)

However, the first 12 are responsible for over 80% of the total usage, while the first 8 for about 65%…

Given this information, I was very curious about the letter frequencies distribution amongst the most commonly used passwords lists at hand.  Analyzing the three lists above, I've got the following results:

You may observe that while the 8 most used letters in the English alphabet should be responsible for a total 65% of the general usage, the rate here is a bit lower (48% only)

But this is obviously due to the nature of the analysis, where the passwords lengths amongst the most used passwords comparison table were usually in the range of 6-8 characters, while the whole English dictionary would contain many longer (as well as shorter) words that would have added some 'meat' to the numbers… in any case, still consistent I'd say.

The obvious conclusions to be drawn from here would be, of course … try to use less frequent letters when you make your passwords folks!

Some more food for thought:

Most Commonly Used Passwords Lists Comparison Conclusions

The studies mentioned above, combined with yet a few others more, have made me draw the following conclusions:

Amongst the most frequently used passwords are simple to guess words or combinations like:

• 'password'
• '123456' or longer '12345678' and variations (like backwards: '654321' or crossed '159753' or '159357')
• variations of the user's firstname – over 16% of all cases!!!
• or the user's spouse or child's firstname,
• or other patterns on the keyboard, like 'qwerty' etc… HUGE … 14%!!!
• many times the user's birthdate
• or frequently names of things in the close vicinity (brand names like 'samsung' for instance, if their monitor would be of that type, etc…)

Even more in-depth analysis may be devised if we should add lazy behaviors of leaving the default usernames and passwords unchanged where they are available (usually exploited by hackers targeting hardware rather than software glitches, for instance routers factory default settings like user/pass combination of admin/admin < extremely frequent!)

While the security of one's passwords and logins are of the utmost importance, IMHO … there are people who would advocate selective passwords strengths for 'some' accounts while 'don't care' style on others…

I see a terrible danger in here!

The Common Passwords Used Multiple Times Threat

The hackers that would get hold of one of your less secure accounts credentials, may very well use those and try to login into other sites as well … and if you happened to use the same password more than once you'd be prone to see this spreading amongst all your profiles on the web, very soon…

Unfortunately this may end up with them getting hold of your main email account and from there there is just one more small step to your PayPal or other payment portals you are using, or your online banking credentials, etc…

For instance, the 4chan group used the login credentials they've got from the Singles.org database to access the same users' FaceBook or Twitter accounts, sending hate/racist or sex related messages to other people on those accounts' contact lists

They have been causing a great deal of embarrassment for the original owners when they were faced with strange accusations. 

This happened because those people used the same usernames and logins for many different social networks accounts.

The only sensible thing to do is to use STRONG passwords all the time, different unique passwords for each website – never repeat one!  I would also recommend not only to build STRONG passwords by making them longer or whatever, but by using a combination of uppercase with lowercase letters, special signs and digits wherever allowed, to obtain the maximum password strength possible…

If it seems too hard to implement – do not worry!

I found an automatic solution to help you achieve that easily.

I personally use RoboForm – and I have written an informative post about it (from the perspective of the ease of use more than security though … ) here:

☛ RoboForm Filler and Passwords Manager ☚

I strongly encourage you to read that article too and download the RoboForm software as it is a free tool for most purposes …

… although I bought the Pro (paid) version that
suits other advanced uses too
(like automatically completing submission forms
for me whenever I join a memebership site,
like a GiveAway or other similar places
where there are lots of fields to fill)

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin Backlinking Tool & Traffic Software

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin | Backlinking Tool

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin ☚ is a new WP plugin created by Andy Fletcher, the same clever guy behind Backlink Energizer and a lot of other SEO software tools, dedicated both to building and checking backlinks and Google rankings.

WPSyndicator WP Plugin – as the name suggests – will automatically get an excerpt of any new blog post from your WordPress website and it will send it to 15 of the most powerful Web 2.0 properties available nowadays.

Whenever you publish a new post on your blog the following services will be notified and a new backlink will be created on each of them, pointing back to your new content, when the excerpt is published:

1. WordPress
2. TypePad
3. Blogger
4. Twitter
5. Vox
6. LiveJournal
7. Tumblr
8. Multiply
9. Plurk
10. FriendFeed
11. Xanga
12. Identi.ca
13. You are
14. Blellow and
15. BrightKite

These excerpts will help you both with an answer to the common questions:

• "How To Get Backlinks Automatically To My Blog?"

and also…

• "How To Get More Traffic To Your Blog?"

…because the users of the said
15 services will be teased by the
blog excerpt and will be presented
with a link to continue to read more
on your blog, directly.

Furthermore, the WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin generated excerpts will allow you to change the default "Read more" anchor text into a keyword rich backlink using your preferred keyword as anchor text.

This way, WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin both builds free backlinks and brings free traffic to your blog.

In order to be able to do all these, there is an initial setup process, that can be performed either manually from inside the WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin's dashboard, allowing you to setup all the 15 services with your username and password, or you may simply add your existing accounts details if you've done this before.

Once configured, WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin becomes the mighty powerful automatic backlinking machine and traffic getting software that was intended from the first place, with the ease of 1-click of a button: "Click Here To Syndicate"

WPSyndicator WP Plugin | Updates

However (in the latest update I just downloaded), WPSyndicator WP Plugin's creator Andy Fletcher, added a couple or more new features requested by his beta testers.  

As such, WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin will now also syndicate pages and has Web 2.0 auto-syndication capability.  This feature is disabled by default in the plugin's interface, but if you want to enable it, WPSyndicator WP Plugin will allow you to.

There is also a handy rate limiting feature added so that you don't get banned from all the Web 2.0 sites for posting too many backlinks, too fast.  

The trick here would be to syndicate only a few, maybe maximum 2 posts per day, to avoid being seen as a spammer by the admins of the 15 Web 2.0 sites.

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin | Benefits

While I see a great advantage of using WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin in conjunction with any autoblogging plugin you may have (see a resource on my blog here: …. ) to:

• automatically build backlinks and
• multiply the value of the said blogs by
• increasing posts rankings and
• building a backlinks network to
• help getting higher page ranks
• beware still… NOT to overdo it.

I suggest you install the WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin on a few blogs (not only one or two) but using the same login credentials. This way, the Web 2.o properties will get excerpts from multiple blogs/domains, making it look more natural.

Now, in conclusion… what would WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin mean to you in terms of benefits and added value to your websites?

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin | Blog Traffic Software

• More traffic from those who read your material on the Web 2.0 sites and wish to read the rest of your article.  They'll gladly click through to your blog to see what else you have to say.  
• More subscribers, because once they're there, you will make sure they see your opt-in form, right?  
    
• And of course…
• More backlinks that show the search engines how popular your blog is.
    
• Finally…
• More sales for you, generated by the traffic boost your blogs will get after installing your own copy of the WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin.

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin | Installation & Setup

The installation process in itself is as easy as any other WordPress plugin's, with the addition of the necessary setup of the Web 2.0 properties details the first time.

This should take you anything between 30 minutes to an hour, but it depends on how fast you can type and through it all.

But if you get stuck anywhere at all, Andy fletcher added some very handy videos to his WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin, that will guide you through the less obvious spots if needed.

This is truly one of the best new WordPress plugins I've seen released lately.  WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin will surely give your blog a traffic boost! It could easily be THAT boost you need to take your blog to the next level.  

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin | Conclusion

WPSyndicator WordPress Plugin Blog Traffic Software will be a MUST for any serious blogger or niche Internet Marketer from now on…

Both "Cherry Picker Software" and "Google is Broken" report are free at this moment as a part of the "Perpetual Traffic Formula" Launch… but I wouldn't count on that for very long.

Ryan has a long history of other launches – many of which have really shake out violently the Internet Marketing industry so far:

• Gmail Advertising

• 13 Sneaky Little Email Tricks

• 43 Split Tests

or the world-wide known

• Continuity Blueprint – Million Dollar Napkin Video

or the most recently released

• Facebook Ad Power Video

The industry giants like Google and FaceBook still tremble from the effect these reports have had on the online marketing community.

Google Backlinks SEO URL Indexing Using Backlink Energizer WP Plugin

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin – A solution to get your Google Backlinks indexed fast and stick so.  Google Backlinks are usually harder to reveal, as Google doesn't so easily disclose the indexed backlinks as Yahoo does… However, revealed or not, if there are backlinks indexed, then all should count and add up to your website's might!  Backlink Energizer WP Plugin simply multiplies your discovered and indexed backlinks.

Not all the hard built SEO URLs get indexed, though. How sad…

As such, sometimes you just seem to be chasing your own tail (to no avail), although you know how much effort you've spent building your backlinking campaign, right? The obvious solution would then be to take your SEO backlinking techniques one step forward and begin to index your backlinks instead of waiting for Google and its search engine comrades find them naturally. So I came by this excellent piece of SEO software: Backlink Energizer WP Plugin from the people at Backlinks Goldmine.  Read more…

Backlink Indexing

Backlink Indexing is a great way to improve the effectiveness of your backlink building efforts.  Whether you use Articles, profiles, blogging, guest blogging or other backlink building strategies.  Taking steps to get Google to find your links will greatly increase your link efforts value.

• It's one thing to go out and build yourself or hire someone (outsourcing) as a backlink builder to build 100's, even 1,000's of quality backlinks to your money sites and important traffic pages… (Nowadays that's a rather trivial exercise – time or money solves the issue and there's a lot of quality resources!)
• It's quite another issue altogether to get maximum value from those backlinks!  Take for instance, profile backlinks (which are all the rage right now) – how many of those, if left alone after being created, will ever find their way into Google's index?  If Google never crawls them and indexes them, how are we to get credit for them?

Energized Backlinks Case Study

Energized Backlinks is one backlinks case study I saw recently.  It illustrated a 250% increase in links indexed by Google by taking matters in your own hands vs. waiting for Google bot to get around to finding them naturally. The whole concept  – based on all the current tools on the market, is to build backlinks to your backlinks on high trafficked web 2.0 sites. I tried improving my odds with the Google bot and big G's index using a couple of the leading tools on the market.  Some aspects I liked – other aspects not so much.

My backlink indexing tests

Some systems relied on web 2.0 gatekeeper sites such as Ping.fm, or Posterous, or OnlyWire…to cross post identical content across a dozen web 2.0 sites.

• Problem is – if the gatekeeper site gets wind of it – they're likely to shut it all off.  In fact they've been trying to do just that.
• One of the other issues was … having to sort out, and install a PHP script on my hosted server.  What if I want to build a rather large network of indexing sites?  All going to come off the same IP?
• Easy footprint for web 2.0 admins to track down as the source.  So to distance my linking efforts from my money site IP's – I'll need a 2nd hosting account on top of the cost of the application.
• Not to mention the challenges that come with maintaining a server side PHP script for energizing backlink indexing.

Another system I looked into was using web 2.0 sites and RSS feeds of backlinks, and then shortened urls.

• I wasn't sure how post after post of shortened urls on web 2.0 sites was going to last for very long.  I suspected those sites using it aggressively would meet certain moderator death.
• Finally, another issue was … will 20 posts a day of nothing but short urls be reliable bait for Google bot to keep coming back – daily?  I had already wasted enough time – I didn't feel like taking another flier on what I determined to be questionable SEO and indexation tactics right from the start.

Fortunately, a friend turned me onto one of the coolest SEO WordPress Plugins I've ever used.

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin Developers

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin was developed by the SEO specialists over at Backlink Goldmine.  I guess this Andy Fletcher guy is a wizard with PHP and WordPress – and he whipped up this SEO WP plugin to make it as easy as possible for the "non tekkie" marketer to get rapid results.

They buried a bunch of the techno mumbo jumbo into the WordPress publishing engine – and made it Copy'N'Paste easy!

All I had to do was take one of my WordPress blogs and install the plug in.

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin – "How To Use" Steps Guide

Here's what followed… from there it was as easy as 1,2,3…

1. Making a post or page in the WordPress interface.
2. I pasted a text file list of all my backlinks I wanted to get indexed into my Backlink Energizer WP Plugin interface.
3. A few RSS Feeds they supplied, and I made a list of keywords to use for the links back to my backlinks.
4. From there I needed to fill in my FREE Web 2.0 blog sites like…

• Vox
• Posterous
• WordPress.com
• Blogger
• Multiply
• LiveJournal
• TypePad Micro, and a
• WordPress blog I hosted myself.

I'd say the whole thing took me less than 1 hr. I think my next install will be only 15-20 minutes though, as I now know exactly what to expect.  It really was straightforward and simple – there are just a lot of username – password details to enter.

By far the easiest system for backlink indexation I've seen.

Backlink Energizer WP Plugin Case Study

If my results are only have as good as their case study … I will be more than pleased at this economical price point and ease of use. I will be reporting more on indexed link numbers shortly… You can go have a look at their Backlinks Case Study where they tested 300 backlinks – 150 got Energized with the Backlink Energizer WP Plugin, while 150 did not.

The results from the Energized Backlinks group were astounding. The Backlink Energizer WP Plugin is worth all the kudos these guys can get, IMHO!

SEOPressor WP Plugin Winns
"The Best On-Page SEO Tool"
Monthly Award From
TipsAndTricks.im
For Its Category:
SEO WP Plugins

SEOPressor WP Plugin is the latest SEO WordPress Plugin – released by Warrior Forum SEO Expert Daniel Tan – that I have added to my Internet Marketing Arsenal (running on this very blog, right now!)

On-Page SEO Designed For Google, Proven by Google Analytics… …Brought by SEOPressor WP Plugin!

SEOPressor — What’s So Amazing About This State-Of-The-Art WordPress SEO Tool?

Although WordPress has proven to be one of the biggest platforms for blogging available on the Internet today – becoming more and more popular every day – it still has it's wish-lists, occasional bugs and flaws, etc…

Natively (no matter what you've heard before), WordPress doesn't come perfectly fit for search engines – hence the multitude of solutions to improve that aspect: professionally SEO designed themes, lots and lots of plugins performing various SEO tasks, etc…

SEOPressor is one such tool.  Although several tools have been released so far in the market today by which people can enhance the prospects of their WordPress blogs, because SEOPressor is a new entrant into the WP SEO Plugins genre, I felt I should check out SEOPressor for you and find out if it is really worth all the talk that is going on about it…

I am running the SEOPressor WP Plugin right on this blog, as you can see below – (as a matter of fact, I've improved the score of this very post – from 53.33% initially up to >>> 61.11% and lastly >>> 64.44% – using it!)

After testing the product for

1. performance and
2. efficiency

I can definitely say that this is a product that’s well worth all the investment made in it!

In any case, people are always looking out for the best possible search engine optimization for their business website, and the fact of the matter is that WordPress SEO cannot get any better than what SEOPressor can provide.  When used correctly, SEOPressor won’t simply bring a WordPress blog to the top page of search engines but it will just bring it to the top of the top page – how cool is that, huh?..

Honestly, I expect results to figure within the top 3 on SERPs.

Let's see why and how SEOPressor can achieve that bold claim.  It looks to me that this SEO tool works in a very different way from other similar products.  So, let's drill down into it, to see these differences one by one:

SEOPressor WP Plugin Analysis Process

“SEOPressor depends on a factor known as the SEO Score for calculating the worthiness of a particular website.  What it will do is it will take some parameters into account and decide whether a particular website will rank well on search engines or not.” – excerpt from the owner's explanations.

This score is a very unique aspect of SEOPressor and the best thing about it is that its results correspond exactly with what a superlative tool such as Google Analytics will show you.  The SEO Pressor and Google Analytics Correlation is by far one of the most exciting features of this tool.

SEOPressor Suggestions

SEOPressor WP Plugin 'looks' into the innermost details of your WordPress site – acting like it almost dissects your website – and tells you intricate things about it that if you pay attention to could improve the prospects of your website to an amazing degree.

For instance depending if your main target keyword is placed in the right position or not, it will not only tell you that, but also in what a better position it could be.

It tells you what format you need to use for your H titles — H1, H2 or H3 — and also how the graphics on your website would be influencing the prospect visitors of your website.

The beauty of all this is that SEOPressor is a plugin which doesn’t just tell you about your mistakes….

….but rather tells you the solutions and will offer to do them for you as well.

It is the kind of SEO software that allows you to sit back and relax as it continuously keeps monitoring your website (telling you what you need to do – and exactly in what places – in order to raise your website ranking.)

SEOPressor – Its Newness Factor…

We should consider this as a good point too.  Definitely!

SEOPressor is quite a new plugin – and even WordPress is continuously changing – thus making it a good thing to be new.  For instance, SEOPressor is already compatible with the new WordPress 3.0, something that most other WP search engine optimization tools available on the Internet are still trying to come to grips with.

SEOPressor Convenience

Despite the program itself being very complex, you don’t need to be a technical whiz to figure it out.  The developers have tried to keep their program as much self-driving as possible.

This is what made this tool a big hit in its initial days.

Even now, after several modifications, the plug-in remains just as easy as it was earlier.  There’s nothing you need to install – it is just a simple download that you have to do.

SEOPressor's Secret Algorithm

Since its release, people have wondered about how the results of SEOPressor can match so perfectly with the results of Google Analytics. (I was wondering myself too…)

Only very recently it slipped out that SEOPressor uses a secret algorithm that works in the very manner that the Google search engine works to rank its websites.

Using this particular algorithm, it is almost a no-brainer for SEOPressor to understand what it actually takes for a website to shoot right up the rung on the Google search pile.

This is the one thing that has made SEOPressor so famous.

SEOPressor WP Plugin – Developer’s Reputation

SEOPressor has been designed and developed by Daniel Tan (told you so from the beginning, didn't I?)…

…who is one of the greatest search engine optimization gurus in the world today.

Daniel has developed successful programs in the past such as:

• The Backlinks Syndication System
• The Rank Mover
• The Ultimate RSS Joiner and
• The Press Release Cash Cow

All of these have been quite commended in the online world, which is the same thing that is happening with SEOPressor currently.

As such, SEOPressor WP Plugin is, IMHO – fully deserving the honors of… ^^^ Click To Get SEOPressor ^^^

"The Best On-Page SEO Tool" Monthly Award

SEOPressor WP Plugin Review by Steve Lorenzo SEOVirtuoso

This is an interesting email I’ve got from one of my list subscribers (an Internet Marketing newbie as it seems), a member of my online audience as I prefer to call them all – my friends.

I have decided to make it public (only after asking for permission, of course…)

I am doing this because I think it would be profitable for many other people to see the answers too – as the questions may be common struggles of Internet Marketing newbies (and savvy, all alike) when it comes to some strategies and tactics the regular GURUs (the guys you may be getting emails from daily) won’t disclose, normally.

I also encourage you to join the conversation and ask your own questions (if any) but more important, to encourage yourself the ones who would need help online. I’ll do my best to answer properly and timely on my own.

I was thinking in the beginning to make this a forum, but decided not to. The reason is I want the blog to be public and have more exposure to SEs (that would stand for Search Engines) so that even other people – maybe searching for answers online – may find this content and easily jump IN, too.

So, let’s get started. Here’s the email I’ve got:

Hi, Jannie!

Thanks for writing back to me as I asked… Not many people do it, although it’s FREE – LOL (maybe one of the few things that remained really so!)

You have learned a few things, indeed. Let me help you focus.

Here is a quote I plan to use on one of my next products:

“The only thing that prevents you from making $7.000 tomorrow online (IF today you’ve made $7 already) is…. TRAFFIC!”

We, as IMers, are in fact traffic brokers. Please keep that in mind!

There are so many different sources of traffic. The so called free traffic from SEs (but in fact it still costs either time or money to get it, no matter what) and the paid traffic from advertisers, coming in so many different flavors again: PPC, PPV, PPP, etc…

Bottom line is this – choose something you would like/love to do online, be passionate about it and then start working on the skills that you will need for making that a business that would fill your life with joy.

IM business is just a business like all the other. You invest money into it, by paying people to work for you (outsourcing), buying tools and other technical stuff to help and automate tasks and chores when you can, getting instruction and education on the necessary topics, etc… to be able, after that, to enjoy the benefits of the business owner: the profit.

The differences between an offline business and an online one are the market share you can reach online (theoretically far bigger than offline) and the very low startup costs.

The Internet millionaires you read about though, may have been started small, but right now they have armies of employees paid to help them run their businesses as in fact they are only the facade, the brand.

On the other hand, if you set attainable goals for yourself, you can still do it alone, or with very little help. But you need to focus instead of spreading thin on all topics at hand and all the new shiny launches happening on IM.

Stop buying products all around, BUT never stop buying relevant info and software tools that are going to help you on your particular chosen area of interest.

___

Now, to come to the point in particular. The business name offline won’t help attract much traffic from the other way of the globe anyway, so it is more logical to make it memorable in a brand-style way.

For a website, though… as long as you’re not WordPress or such a brand that would make people look after you by your name… you should choose something that people are already looking for, so to stand a chance to get found in the future whenever they search for it. This is good SEO. I am an SEO passionate and probably you know that already (and I guess it shows, too…)

If you are more interested into paid traffic, I’m not much of an expert though… we could always chat about it, but I wouldn’t be so helpful as I could be regarding free organic traffic.

IF you are interested on SEO, on the other hand, basically you should start with the good domain name for your online presence. I can really help you here, indeed. Having a blog is a MUST to help you drive traffic to the money site you built or any affiliate offers.

If you don’t like to write yourself for the blog, there are two other options: outsource it OR build an automated blog(s).

No matter what kind of traffic you’d be using, building a list simply means to leverage the time and/or money already spent, to recycle the traffic you’ve got in the past, time and time again… Smart move!

Again, depending on your budget, there will be here a few alternatives: third party autoresponder or self hosted solution.

I can help you with advice on both types. I hope I could help you with these.

___________________________

Now, before we go further into it, let me ask your permission to make this (editing the personal info, of course) into a post on my http://TipsAndTricks.im Blog where you may choose to comment anonymously or if you want a link back to your blog as a guest post writer we could also arrange that, but it would mean you’d need to reveal your identity and website address and topic… It’s up to you.

I would like to involve other people with the same problems into the conversation.

May I?

Thanks!

PS

Hmmm… regarding my English… I know I still have to improve, but thank you! 【ツ】

_{Review by Steve Lorenzo SEOVirtuoso}

Keyword search engine ranking check is a bit less common notion than usual keyword research everybody claims to do when starting to write online, but I have discovered traffic bringing keywords that were valuable for my website simply by investigating the way people landed on my pages with a keyword search engine ranking tool rank tracker or another…

However, the time involved in doing that could have been spent better doing more profitable things.

So I was recently looking into automation – seeking some sort of SEO software or SEO script that would help my keyword research, revealing the long tailed keywords that would bring organic traffic from the search engines.

As I am also very deeply interested in using WordPress for all types of tasks it was quite natural to look into finding a WP SEO tweaked theme or rather a WP SEO plugin for my purpose.

My quest brought me to this interesting website where I found the best of two worlds:

- As you may know already, Google is ranking pages, actually, on one hand…

- While on the other hand, I was interested more in finding the hidden long tail keywords that would bring traffic but also help for better search engine ranking in the end…

So, to sum it up…

» Google Rank Tracker WP Plugin «

…will add to its database
(and show them directly on your WordPress Dashboard afterward), the specific search strings that people are typing into the search boxes to arrive at certain pages on your blog that contain those particular keyphrases.

As a result, you are able to see NOT what you theoretically believe would increase page rank and exposure, BUT in fact, you’ll discover exactly those keywords that you could use to write a new blog post about, without much competition (you already rank well as long as you had visitors through them.)

Nevertheless, just a slight change that would improve or update page rank positioning even with a single step up, could mean doubling the traffic you already get.

That is MOST INVALUABLE!…

…Intel directly from the front line…

…and the beauty of its setup is
that it sends email notifications too
(if you want.)

Instead of using a page rank tool or web application for rank checker, this Rank Tracker WP plugin runs directly on your blog and secretly sends emails to you (the admin) only, keeping all your valuable secrets away from the prying eyes of the competition.

I have already used this keyword rank tracker tool on a few of my blogs BUT I’m in the process of adding the…

…to all my blogs now.

Form Fillers and Password Manager Software solutions are the most overlooked yet some of the most important tools for an Internet Marketer’s tool belt nowadays.

Indeed…if you have already explored a while around the net, you have obviously been driven to so numerous opportunities popping-up there, all of them so exciting…luring you into becoming their

• user, or
• affiliate, or
• member…

well, whatever they call it.

BUT…

…you’d need an elephant’s memory to remember all that stuff, wouldn’t you?

Therefore, I will proudly point out my advice for you…
(as there are so few others to tip you on that on the Internet)
…to closely consider these facts first:

• in order to surf safely, you need to carefully protect yourself, whenever possible, behind
  • firewalls,
  • anonymity,
  • even fake IDs eventually;

• for testing purposes you might need more than one
  • e-mail, or
  • nickname, or
  • screen-name, or
  • username,
  • etc…
    ultimately more than only one virtual identity;

• in order to remain focused, you need
  • to be very well organized,
  • to keep your bookmarks categorized and properly named just as YOU wish;

• you will have to subscribe to
  • many newsletters,
  • e-zines,
  • services,
  • systems,
  • membership sites and
  • clubs and so on, forever…
  • all of them with their own username and password;

• from time to time, you will need to make payments online,
  • using your credit cards
    (they all have their own code and expiry date and CVV) or
  • even through a service like PayPal, or…

If you run a regular offline business you’ll have your secretary and sometimes even more other people like your…  say…

…accountant, to take care of these.

But online, especially for a typical work-at-home or Internet marketing type of business, you will be alone.

Therefore, YOU must be, then, your own secretary, right?

You will have to remember those www addresses you were surfing a while ago, which hopefully you’ve probably bookmarked somewhere – hmmm… but where, exactly? - and by the way…when you find those:

“Oh, Lord, what was the user and password I’ve set then?”

And if you happen to be just a trifle paranoid about security, just as I am…
(for good reason, believe me)

…especially when you are sitting in front of a different computer than your own home one, but not only – say…

…traveling and using an Internet Cafe, or…

…being still employed and having the urge to cheat on your employer’s schedule for you, by trying to surf a little bit more from work (not on my advice!), or…

…sharing the computer with your kids (they have the dangerous habit of downloading tons of improperly checked stuff from the net)

In all these cases and many, many more, you wouldn’t dare to type in your precious secret user names and passwords, credit card information or whatever other “delicate” stuff.
(that is, if you remember them, in the first place…)

Because nasty people invented the keyloggers.

Even your boss may use such – or other even worse, maybe – piece of spy software.

YES – They are used to spy on you!

Whenever you press a key on your keyboard it will be collected in a special secret file called log (hence the name: keylogger)

The next step is to send it to the evil guy through your connection and there you are: all your sensible data is now in the hands of someone else.

Generally, in order to keep track of ones activities, memberships, favorite pages, etc… people use to bookmark them in their browsers, which comes in handy, but usually without the corresponding usernames and passwords for easy access.

So, they face a few possible ”solutions” widely spread amongst millions and millions of other users:

• write down on paper and keep them safe
  (rarely effective – soon you’ll lose it; and someone else might find it)

• write down on sticky notes and “glue” them on their monitor
  (often – but… figure out for yourself why it’s wrong)

• create a general purpose nickname with a common-to-all password and stick to it
  (lazy AND dangerous habit)

But there is hope!

A special software called password manager will solve all that and even more…

The name is not complete, though, because it does not only:

• memorize and keep track of your passwords, in conjunction with the appropriate usernames, plus

• bookmarks the corresponding login pages, and even

• bookmarks actually any page you wish in a customizable free manner
  (you may create folders for categories and assign the bookmarks accordingly)

• let you create multiple identities for various purposes over the net, each of them crammed with whatever you might imagine as a matter of data:
  • your first/sur/nick names;
  • preferred e/snail mail address;
  • business identity (name, address);
  • bank details (name, addresses);
  • bank account details;
  • guess… card account details, sure;
  • the list goes on and on and on…

  all of them ready to be inserted into any possible fields you might encounter on your “surfing expeditions”.

Hmmm…

That’s right folks; it’s a form filler, too!

This is a powerful feature, because:

• once memorized first time, it will insert all the necessary data with only one click of the mouse; thus, any keylogger will be “blinded” by that, registering a single meaningless click instead of all your precious, private information;

• plus, once a login page is correctly bookmarked at its first encounter, it will also prevent you from being lured unconsciously into any phishing site later on.

Now, some people accused me at this point that I’m trying to sell it instead of reviewing it.  But how can I help it?

It’s even better than I’ve already told you:

• one of its best features is portability (you may take it with you on your flash stick and thus, all your “sensibles” will be kept safe in your pocket; it will also autorun from there, no install needed, no traces left on the guest computer);

• another plus is that it will flawlessly work “in tandem” with another piece of useful software from the same producer (it’s really not me!!! ) to backup your data, to prevent you from losing it in case of theft, loss, break, etc… of your flash stick;
  

• but of course it may also backup whatever else you may wish, either on your hard drive, or on your… YES! You guessed: the same flash stick.

• the final touch I kept untold till now:

1. forget the scrap of paper with passwords AND
2. forget the sticky note on your monitor BUT
3. KEEP your beloved
   ONE-GOOD-FOR-ALL password handy, because it will become from now on…

THE PASSWORD

Why is that so?

Because while all your data will be kept safely (encrypted) by this software, away from foreign eyes, in order to access it you will need a master password to unlock it, which you will have to provide:

• every time you’ll plugin the flash stick into its slot, or, if you wish, even

• at regularly scheduled moments or,

• triggered by specific events; hopefully preventing this way other people from “peeking” in case that you accidentally forget to unplug the device when you leave the computer.

You may use whatever passwords

• you can imagine
  (no matter how fancy and difficult to remember they might be), or
• use the built-in facility to pick powerful, random generated passwords, even customized according to any site’s requirements
  (such as preferred min/max length, accepted symbols, characters, etc…)

Then forget about them completely and concentrate onto your only, single
MASTER PASSWORD.

For tips and tricks on how to achieve the right complexity while still being able to remember it later, you may read more on my blog here.

So, what could there be more to say about this MASTER PIECE?

Well, a ton of other cool features on the producer’s site, which I’m already too exhausted to continue to tell you about, apart from only one more:

Even though in order to use it fully featured, you will have to pay a small onetime fee (which I recommend not for making money out of it, but simply because it’s worth it), if you intend to take it only for personal use, then…

IT’S FREE!

…both of them
(the password manager and the backup synchronizer) actually.

If it were on me, I would simply call them together:
