Who’s Stealing my Bandwidth?

By Bruno Auger On 21 Comments

There are several ways that you can stop the bandwidth thieves from stealing your bandwidth. If they have an email, I would contact them personally or go through Domaintools.com and do an IP lookup which will give you information on the person and who the site is registered to. You can always get in touch with the hosting company that hosts their site too. Bandwidth can be expensive and the last thing that you want is someone stealing it.

You Internet Service Provider (ISP for short) can limit how much  bandwidth you can use at certain times during peak periods or charge you a flat fee every month for usage. If you go over your usage limit regularly, then they will suggest you upgrade to a bigger bandwith package.

Files that are uploaded or downloaded from servers uses bandwidth to push files along the network at various speeds. Every time you upload a file to your hosting server, surf the web or watching streaming video, you are using bandwidth. 

Bandwidth is a group of fibers or wires connecting servers to a network. Depending on the quality of the wire it determines how much data can flow across the network where your website is hosted. When someone attempts to use more bandwidth than can be handled by the system, the traffic slows down.

You can upload almost any file (webpages, sound files, images, videos and other programs) to your website. This excludes, of course, pop ups, banners , pdf files, scripts and images which are supposed to be loaded from your hosting server. 

Bandwidth thieves link to audio, images and other files directly to your server instead of putting them on their own server. There are many reasons as to why people do this but, the main reason is to maximize the bandwidth they steal as much as possible to show their links and images.

Bandwidth is something you should monitor careful because you never know when someome will borrow and image or link from you for their personal gain.

Traffic and Indexing = Money

By Bruno Auger On 7 Comments

The biggest problem facing most people on the Internet is getting traffic to their sites. While it may seem a huge problem
for those who are not getting it, it all comes back to the choices you make.

If you are building a blog around the word ‘weight loss’ then you’re going to have to do a considerable amount of work to get indexed in the right position to get enough traffic to make money.

If you choose to target specific words relating to ‘weight loss’ that are still well searched for and have low competition
then you will stand a far better chance of getting traffic and that traffic will be a lot more targeted.

This highly targeted traffic will earn you more money because it is relating to a specific problem that the person is searching for a rather than a general term like ‘weight loss’

Now when a person arrives on your blog from a specific term they are always going to be interested in the more general term of ‘weight loss’ so you will still be able to sell your weight loss e-book or earn money from your weight loss affiliate programs when people come from these terms.
