Resetting your IP

In this tutorial I will explain the basic steps to change the IP of the computer tou are using to browse the internet. This can have many advantages (eg: Download more files on file hosting sites that only allow 1 IP to download an x number of MB per hour; like Rapidshare). This will only work if you have got a dynamic IP. Most of the people who have got a wirelless connection using a router are able to do this. This tutorial can be used on all operating systems. I’m going to explain it in particulair for Windows XP and Vista.

Locking the “www” in URL’s

This technique will make sure that all visitors go to the same URL. There is a difference between http://www.site.com and site.com . This may also result in Pagerank dropping/not rising.

What is a pagerank?
Google’s Scale of Measurement which determines in Google’s eyes how relevant or important a website is. The higher your pagerank is (0->10) , the better your site is and the better you will get listed.

Guide to a successful Warez Site

This is rather a short and higly important post. I am going to point out some DO’s & Tips you really have to make sure to follow as close as possible if you are interested in making a successfull warez site.

#1 Hosting & Uptime: Hosting and uptime are like the most important aspects your site should offer. Spend time in finding a good host that has a good reputation and a minimum uptime of 99%. If you want to have control yourself you can always get a VPS or a Dedicated Server, this also minimises the change of downtime. A site should be reliable for it’s members; no-one is going to keep visiting a site that has these random downtimes. So always keep this in mind when you waznt to start running a warez site: Top Uptime is needed!

#2 User Friendly: You know the feeling when you type in an URL with the meaning to search for something specific like an application or movie. Then when you come on that site and you don’t have the feeling that you are going to find this item you are looking for you almost immediately close the window. This shows how important it is to have a user-friendly, easy to navigate website if you don’t want to have those 2second visitors.

#3 Limited Ads: This is one of the steps that most webmasters can’t do since all they want it earn $$$ with their site. Well let me tell you that in the beginning it doens’t work like this. Users need to have a good feeling on the site, not like they are just looking at one big advertisement site, the trick is that first of all you need to make the site completely ad-free (well atleast almost no ads!), after that you will see when people like your site without ads that they come back, you gain traffic. After you have got a stable traffic flow you can monetize it by placing small ads or affiliate links or even hardlinks (NO popunders/popups!!).

#4 Quality Content: The easiest way is to just leech downloads of some big warez sites, this is the method that 80% of the warez sites use, they just copy stufffrom another site and thats it. The best thing to do is have your own quality uploads with maybe even password protected with the URL of your site. Once your site get’s discovered people will start copying downloads from your site onto other sites, but this also includes the password of your site so you will get FREE advertising.

#5 Patience: Most warez webmaster think that they will have a kick ass site with massive traffic in no time. Let me tell you that that is very unlikely to happen unless you are having luck. Which almost never happens. So the last pointer is about patience. Getting a populair and high traffic site is all about patience, it isn’t done overnight. Thats why most webmasters fail, because they don’t have the patience to let the site grow.

I might add more hints in the future but im out of inspiration at the moment, had a rough night ^^.
If you follow these instructions you will probably have a good site in the end, if you keep this up your site will most likely become big and thus you will also earn money…not that it’s all about money cauze I have all my sites and It’s just a hobby working on them.

Clear Mail Queue Administration in Directadmin

In this very small tutorial I will provide you a one line command that allows you to completely clear your Mail Queue Administration of directadmin. This is a list of mails which still has to be sent. The list has to be cleared once in a while since it can get really stuffed. I had about 66 pages of mails that still needed to be send and I think that a bit too much. You just have to run the command below in SSH:

exim -bp | awk ‘/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print “exim -Mrm ” $3}’ | sh
