Important Note On Your Security!

It’s come to our attention that certain versions of Kaspersky antivirus are sounding false positives because of a particular javascript file, commonly used in many of our websites.
This problem is plaguing countless sites that use the popular thickbox.js Javascript file and has been reported to Kaspersky. If you receive this message you can ignore it. We perform regular audits files and have no indication of any infection.

One very important job of a conscientious webmaster is that of security and it entails a wide variety of tasks.
One of those tasks is too follow traffic patterns on client sites, watching for strange activity. Another is to make sure that all the software used for clients’ sites is up to date and to update as needed.
In an earlier post I discussed how being conscientious prevented a coordinated hack, perpetrated on tens of thousands of websites, from corrupting any of our client sites.

If you use Kaspersky and receive such a warning from your site or any of the DownRiver Groups affiliated sites, please contact us.

Our Recommendation For Anti-Virus Software

We’ve worked with many free, and paid, security software packages and for our money, the best, by far, is the Professional Anti-virus by Avast.

In the interest of transparency, I’ll tell you that purchasing Avast through any DownRiver group links results in a small commission for us. We could promote any of the others, and receive a commission based on sales here, but this is the one that we use on ALL of our systems.
If you’d like to find out how you too can participate in generating such revenues, contact us. It’s one of the many services we provide for clients.

That being said, I’ll tell you that the Avast anti-virus is the BEST we’ve used thus far and has saved us from countless hours of agony!

I’ll be back later with an updated post.

THE Secret of Super Cyber Success (don’t tell anyone)!

Are you ready? Keep this one under your hat, keep it amongst ourselves, leave it on the downlow.
This Secret is a game changer, and if everyone were doing it?!?
Chaos ~utter chaos!

Of course, not everyone will actually DO it, even if it virtually guarantees success & it costs very little, nothing in fact, after one factors in the positve return of whatever amount or type of investment one makes into this Secret process.
It’s true, even a marginal investment in this mystical method guarantees a positive return, with potentially HUGE returns, and this isn’t any of the internet snake oil promised on an ever-increasing “paid product placements” on the late-night cable channels, broadcast radio & dubious internet banner ads.

It’s a simple technique and won’t even make you sweat.

It’s contained in one, simple word.

Are you ready?

DO.

To achieve success on the internet(and in any field), one must “DO”! You must put yourself out there in some form appropriate to your customer base. You have to invest of yourself, in thought, in time and/or in money and you must do so consistently!
Want a better ranking for a search engine key phrase, i.e. Better Web Presence?
DO! Create a lens or a hub(contact us if you don’t know what these are).

Want people to send you money via the internet?
DO! Set up a shopping cart for products to offer on your website.

Want more of the local populace to visit your website?
DO! Create a photocopy flyer campaign and distribute it locally.

Your web success is the yield of your investment, much like a crop harvest ~say corn, or pumpkins~ is the result of a season(or many) of investment to a field, to a crop. Try as they might, farmers have yet to develop a method whereby they can throw some VERY expensive seed to the soil outside their window, then, feet up on the sill, watch out that window a few hours per week as the crops pop up quickly, magically shoving mystical fruit through the window and into strategically placed baskets.

The Method of DO, applied to your internet endeavor, is the closest technique of which we know for those “Jack in the Beanstalk” type returns.
The Method of DO, mixed with the magic of the internet creates an alchemy that will give you a return, too.

DO:
…write a blogpost.
…hand out 3 business cards.
…update your website.
…participate in a discussion.
…advertise your website in a local paper.
…call a customer(DON’T call JUST to sell them something).
…give a good customer a freebie.

This is just a short list. I’m certain you can come up with some more ideas(and, please, feel free to share some of them via the “comments” at the bottom of my post)

An important key to DO is to be frequent. Like crops, the seeds of success you plant need some regular reinforcement. Just as a crop needs cultivating, your web presence needs regular care and attention and, if one is very attentive, the yields will be worth the efforts.

Try it for the rest of the calendar quarter. I think you’ll like your “harvest”, should you employ the proper amount of DO.
