A very detailed articles on online content generation . Search engines today cannot distinguish between low and high quality content, so it is easier and more rewarding today to churn out poor quality content, then take the effort to write something really useful. Using an algorithm to find the most in demand information using ISP data is a good innovation and also shows that online privacy is non existent.

Data interception and email
Online shopping is relatively safe since most ecommerce stores use a secure (https:// ) connection . Most people use email for personal correspondence , sending jokes and other trivial information, so email security solutions are not easily available. But if you use email for sending confidential information like pricing or potential buyer information, the current solutions are inadequate. Your well funded competitor will hire a hacker who will intercept, delay and modify your emails and the damage can results in losses of thousands of dollars or more.

Making money with a network of websites
Interesting post on making money with a network of websites , working at home. Most of the coverage of the online media in India is focused only on the big internet companies , which have funding from various sources. It is difficult for most people to believe that a single person can manage a large number of websites, but once you set them up, they are largely a passive source of income.
As stated in the interview working from home “is much more efficient because I don’t have to spend time commuting or dressing up.” Of course, you have to be very disciplined, with no distractions, but you can also afford to take a lot more risks. To succeed you need to experiment a lot and fail often.

Advertising networks
Selecting an advertising network for your content website
If you have a large number of websites monetized by advertising, finding a suitable ad network is important .
Online advertising can be classified into 2 major categories:
1. Pay per click (PPC) advertising
2. Display advertising
PPC advertising is vulnerable to click fraud and there are only 2 major companies who can dictate the price of clicks. Some of the second tier PPC search engines like Exoclick verify your account only after you have generated 100 clicks. There is little transparency for the publishers and advertisers, so I have been focusing on Display advertising.
I have been experimenting with different display advertising programs / networks. Ideally the ad network should:
1.Count all impressions and offer detailed statistics.
2.Offer a good CPM (for thousand impressions) rate for traffic worldwide. Currently, most networks offer a good CPM rate only for tier 1 traffic (USA , Canada). I am getting a CPM of just US $0.04 for UK traffic.
3.Pay through Paypal on time.
4.Offer Net15 days payment terms
5.Be free of spyware/ malware / redirects.
I am using about 10 networks at present and have not received payment from many of them since I have just started using them. Once you find a reliable ad network, it can be a good source of passive income.
