Lately, I have been getting these weird SEO spammers asking me to contact them if I wish to increase traffic to my site(s). These e-mails sure look fishy, here is one of them that I received today.

The e-mail came from seo.sales.traffic@gmail.com. Certainly does not seem to come from a reputable SEO company. So I did a search for this Gmail address and I found out that the problem was not new.
According to the site that I visited, several indicators that this e-mail is spam are:
The communication will normally come completely unsolicted via email or your website form
The sender usually uses free non-professional email address (e.g. @gmail.com)
They do not have their own website
No telephone number (or not a UK number)
No company name
I did one step further and made an IP lookup trace for the IP I got from that e-mail. Here was the result:
So do not reply to these types of e-mails. They want you to reply, because then they will add your e-mail to their harvest list and later spam you will all sorts of offers.

Woke up this morning and I received the confirmation e-mail from the Twitter support saying that they have banned the imposter account pretending to be yours truly.
Serves the idiot right. That will teach him to never mess with me again. Victory speech.
However, I am not really happy with the way Twitter had handled the issue. After all, I submitted this report nearly nine days ago, and it took them this long to verify my identity and get this imposter banned? In that long period of time, who knows what that imposter could have done to damage my reputation and con people under my identity online? Twitter would really need to look into this seriously and improve their response time to deal with such problems. I am sure that I am not the only person who was a victim of impersonation.

I can never forget this popular Japanese show that was aired during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was called Moero Attack. I recall that it was dubbed into Bahasa Melayu when it was shown on the local television channels. The storyline is about a Japanese high school volleyball team, but it was the volleyball moves that has the strongest appeal to me personally.
Like Chun, I am determined to succeed in my internet business. Such shows have indirectly motivated me and given the impetus to go for whatever you really want to do and achieve success in life. That is one of the most important lessons that I’ve learnt from serials such as Moero Attack.
I am sure that most of the Malaysian PayPal account holders have received their confirmation e-mail regarding the PayPal PowerUp Party which is to be held this Friday, on the 11th of December 2009. The party is to be held in conjunction with PayPal’s launch in Malaysia I saw their RSVP notice some two weeks ago when I was logging into my PayPal account, so I promptly sent an e-mail RSVP but had forgotten all about it.
That is, until I received their confirmation e-mail today. Now that I am confirmed to be on their list, I will certainly go this Friday. So have you RSVP-ed and are you going?

Today I have been doing nothing but sneezing every few minutes or so and I am suffering from a running nose. Pretty sure that I have the flu, or at least am about to get the flu. The Treatment for Symptoms is fortunately very easy as this is merely the signs for a full-blown flu. So the whole day today, I did nothing but drank a lot of fluids and it seems to be working in helping my body fight the flu.
You may think that just because I have the flu, this means I have to take the day off. Well, the answer is no, I don’t. All I have to do is to take things easy and rest a lot. But I still have to face the laptop in order to finish some blogging job offers that I have delayed due to other commitments. In fact, I don’t mind doing this at all as working as a full-time blogger is really a liberating experience. Its certainly something that everyone should consider doing!
