==> THE NEW CYBERSQUATTING:WHAT´$ IN A NAME

Ottawa's Pool.com rose to the top in its novel, arcane and lucrative field -- snatching and selling expired Internet domain names

==> NEW PAYPAL-SCAM; YOUR RECENT PURCHASE

I noticed a new paypal-scam last week.

The title in the email was: Receipt of payment to paypal@creative.com. What the scam-artists are trying to do is to make you click in the end of the email where it says; "Cancel this transaction".

At the landing page for "cancelling the transaction" they (the scam-artist) are trying to make you login to your paypal-account. If you should login - then they (the scam-artists) have your paypal-login info - you can imagine the rest..

As always - look at the url's of these scam-artist - it's never at the original, like http://www.paypal.com - it's always at another url that they try to frame you from. Another way of being sure its not from paypal is to send the "real" paypal an email.

Beware of the thugs - they're everywhere!!

==> A SNEAK PEAK AT RESULTS - GOOGLE PREFERRED INVALID HTML

I decided to test whether valid HTML can actually help your rankings in Google. The results of my test surprised me. Not only did I find that Google apparantly does not give any preference to sites with valid HTML, Google actually seemed to prefer the sites with blatant errors in their code.

==> GOOGLE SITEMAPS

Have you tried Google Sitemaps ? If not, you should do it. Its an easy way to check your URL's visibility.

You need to have ftp-access to the site in order but after that - you can check everything important about your relationship with Google.

A really good tool that I highly recommend you to test.

Amazon.com Inc. plans to broadcast on its Web site an original show hosted by Bill Maher and featuring performers and authors touting new releases -- which, not coincidentally, will be for sale at the online retailer.

====================SWEDISH NEWS=====================

 

==> VÄRLDSNYHET - IMC OCH MEDBORGARSKOLAN I SAMARBETE

Svenskar är gärna blygsamma - så dock inte IMC. Vi vet att våra kunskaper om Internetmarknadsföring står sig oerhört väl i internationell konkurrens så när vi säger Världsnyhet så är det ingen överdrift.

Medborgarskolan är ett av våra äldsta och mest kända utbildningsinstitut i Sverige. IMC och Medborgarskolan's avdelning för Kompetensutveckling har ingått ett samarbete för att erbjuda dig att bli diplomerad Internetmarknadsförare.

Kursen startar den 8 maj och avslutas i samband med IMC's årliga konferens på stockholmsmässan. Missa inte detta tillfälle om du vill kompetensutveckla dig inom framtidens yrkesområde: Internetmarknadsföring!

 

==> AVANZA STÄLLER IN SIKTET PÅ SENIORERNA

Nätmäklaren Avanza bygger om sajten, som sett likadan ut sedan 1999. Anledningen är att den växande skaran seniorkunder ska få lättare att orientera sig.

==> COMMISSION JUNCTION STARTAR I SVERIGE

Svenska Tradedoubler får nu en ny konkurrent på hemmaplan när Commission Junction etableras i Sverige. Bolaget är ett dotterbolag till Nasdaqnoterade Value Click som bland annat äger Pricerunner.
