I’ve noticed a couple of websites tries to namesquat my blog name in order to profit from quick traffic. The operator(s) of this website obviously choose a semi-porn theme to attract quick visitors for their website and profit directly from pornographic materials. The website seems to publish their pornographic content in the member section (free registration required) of their blog.

Rest assured that I’m in no way connected with those websites that uses a play on my website name (pipit,mypipit, etc) as I believe that it is illegal to profit from such sites from the spiritual (religious) point of view.

Therefore, I decided to publish a list of my official domain to counter misunderstandings arises from the action of this squatters. Here’s the list of my official domains

• mypapit.net (I use this domain since 2001)
• mypapit.com (I’ve parked this domain for control purposes)
• mobilepit.com (my phone programming site)

Please be advised that I do not have direct connection aside from the above mentioned domain name. Therefore I do not take responsibility on the action of other websites which uses my ‘official’ website name.

PS : It’s funny that the website operator have the guts of hosting semi-pornographic website locally and publishing their bank account on the same website for the sake of quick traffic and money, It’s even funnier when I discovered the website operator uses Bank Islam to accept payment for advertising in his website, talk about irony.

PPS : one of the website has toned down its pornographic content , but the matter still worth my disclaimer

PPPS : I’ve spoken to the website operator over YM, the operator implied that he purposely choose the name for namesquatting purpose.

I’ve an opportunity to try Zookoda today, a service which lets you build your subscribers lists with minimal effort.

Built with bloggers in mind, Zookoda combines the power of blog marketing with email marketing by providing tools for bloggers to build and manage their own newsletters through their blog.

The Zookoda newsletter is a very convenient feature as most of us (bloggers) do not have enough time to maintain newsletters and blogging at the same time.

This is because besides of functioning as a normal Newsletter, Zookoda lets you send your post daily, weekly and monthly in a fashionable way.

A great tool for marketing blog, this feature will help you manage your blog subscribers and newsletters at the same time, thus saving your precious time of having different lists for your subscribers.

My Experience
I’ve tried Zookoda first hand for my blog email subscription, so far what I can tell is it surpasses all my expectations from a free service like this, because normally I would have to spend at least USD19.95/mo to get a service comparable to Zookoda and those paid service has no little to no integration with marketing blog that I own.

Now with Zookoda, I can easily coordinate my list building effort on my blog as well as my opt-in pages as opposed to have to have a separate subscribe button for each subscription.

In my calculation, this alone will triple my subscribers and will increase the chances of potential customers among my blog readers to each of my product offerings.

Anti-Spam Policy
As a note, Zookoda respects users privacy and strongly opposed spamming pratice, as a result, each of your email list has to be approved before it will go ‘live’ and you are required to affix your business address at the bottom of your newsletters. The subscribers will also receive subscription confirmation to deter the practice of email spamming.

A Peek at Zookoda Control Panel
Finally, I’d like to share with you the Zookoda Control Panel screenshot, I think you can get a lot of great ideas just by looking at them :)

Try Zookoda, it’s free and convenient !

I found this Google ads from Pinoyhack blog via fakapster

I know some people consider nude pics and nudity as an art, but does this means that you are safe to put your google ads on the same page as those pics? Sounds like a grey area to me.

Wonder if anybody ever advertised or put google ads on website filled with nude pics that might borders to pornography?
