e_Marketing Blog Creating a Video to Put on Your Website I am often asked: "How can I put my own video on my website?" There are two distinct issues you have to address, and for the newbie both of them can be pretty overwhelming. First, there is the little problem of actually creating the video. I don't want to get into production in this post. I'll save that for later. Right here I want to address the second issue... How do I get my video on my website? The first thing you have to do is choose whether you want to self-host (host it on your own site, or another site you have access to) or use one of the video sharing sites such as Youtube. (I will use "Youtube" as a short form for "Youtube or other video-sharing sites".) The advantages of self-hosting are that you have full control over the way it will appear, what the thumbnail will look like, and a few other things. You will also not get the Youtube branding or accompanying ads that they are often putting with videos now. Submitting Videos and Video RSS Feeds Here's a great post that lists many different places to upload videos, services to help you do mass-uploads, and where to submit video RSS feeds. Where to Submit Videos and Video RSS/MRSS Feeds. This article lists 4 different ways to submit videos to multiple sites (mass-uploads) so you don't have to do it all manually (very time-consuming). Personally I prefer to use Traffic Geyser because it uploads to more than 30 sites - including all the most important such as Youtube, Revver, Google Video, MetaCafe, etc. - and it will turn your audio track into a podcast and upload that to a further 20+ podcast sites. With our own service called Video Traffic Multiplier we use Traffic Geyser for the distribution of our videos. I have also used (and continue to use) TubeMogul, but it has some limitations. However, it is free. New Video Marketing Blogs For the sake of keeping things straight and becoming more focused I've reorganized a couple of my blogs. Here's where you'll find future posts on specific niches we cover: SEO Strategy and SEO Techniques |

Combating Viruses with Security SoftwareMar 30, 2006 Linknet Business News Combating Viruses with Security Software Mar 30, 2006 - Linknet Business News - by Security SoftwareHelp. I was sitting in front my computer and it started acting strange! Pop-ups were on my screen and I was not even surfing the web. My home page was changed somehow and so did other web settings.

Several types of software can infect your computer; some of these are spyware, a virus, a Trojan, and a worm. That is why you need security software. Below is a brief and simple description of the software that can infect your computer and cause poor performance. · Spyware is a program that gathers information about the user through the internet without their knowledge. It monitors your web activity and passes this information to another party without your knowledge. Spyware is designed for commercial gain, thus when it is installed in your computer you will probably receive unsolicited pop-up advertisements. It can also gather your email addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers stored on your computer. · A virus is programming code or a piece of code that loads onto your computer without your consent. A virus is also self-replicating by inserting copies into an executable code or documents. Any virus is dangerous as it uses up memory and brings your system to a halt. · A worm is much like a virus in the fact that it is self-replicating but differs in the fact that it does not need another program to do so. A worm can spread itself without any action from the user. A worm can attach itself to you address book and send a copy to everyone in it, then attaches itself to the receivers address book in addition, send it out to everyone in that address book. Worms are dangerous and in the end can cause networks to crash. · Trojans are designed as legitimate software that you can download onto your computer. Once installed though, they can be annoying and/or malicious. Annoying activities of a Trojan would be changing your desktop around or silly icons appearing. Malicious damage from a Trojan is capable of deleting files on your computer and allowing personal and confidential information to be collected without you being aware. Preventing spyware and other malicious software from infecting your computer through security software is lots easier going online and finding a reputable online scanning site after the fact. Sometimes if your computer is infected, you may not even be able to get online. Therefore, prevention is better than fixing. You can protect your computer from malicious programs in many ways. Here are a few tips to consider. Always have the latest version of anti virus and anti spyware technology on your computer.

Many sites offer free online scans, and provide instructions for removal of any malicious programs on your computer. Once you have selected a well known, (well-known being the optimal word) follow the instructions for installation carefully to ensure that the scan will work properly. Below are the most common and well-known virus and spyware removal programs.
