Bad bots and WGet stealing your site?

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

Would you like to keep bad bots off your site?
Simply paste the lines below into your .htaccess file.

Bad bots and lazy people will steal anything they can.

They try to get emails, free content, layouts that they like, and all your hard work.

Stopping them is fairly straight forward and simple.

In the top directory of your site or subdomain, create a file called .htacces if it doesn’t exist already.

If you can access your .htaccess file simply add the following lines to it:

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Wget" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^EmailSiphon" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^EmailWolf" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^psycheclone" bad_bot
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "208\.66\.195\.[0-28]+" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Java/1.5.0_04" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Java/1.5.0" bad_bot

<Files *>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from bad_bot
</Files>

Then anytime you see more activity you don’t want, simply add the agent or user-agent performing the activity follow the example above to the list.

Saturday, May 20th, 2006


Simply cut and paste the sudoku code below the sudoku puzzle.

I have had a ton of great traffic with this sudoku page in my wordpress post. Not to mention that it is the best sudoku puzzle creator and solver for learning how to do sudoku that I have seen anywhere. You can change the difficulty, create unlimited puzzles, save games, load games, and print your sudoku puzzles–All from your Wordpress post.

I’m making it available to you, for free, to put on your site or in your own blog. All I ask is that you leave the single banner included with it to support my efforts. It is a banner that will not interfere with any of your own ads, and the bandwidth comes from my site. It opens a new window, so visitors never leave your site.

Simply copy and paste the following code into your post or into your web page. It’s that simple.

<iframe id=sudoku border=0 name=sudoku_games framespacing=0 src=http://life.currenttoday.com/sudoku/sudokupuzzleonline.php frameborder=0 width=480 scrolling=no height=500></iframe>

You can email this to a friend and they can play it in the email if they use html. Use the email this post link above.

I know this will bring you tons of traffic as it has for me. And, its really fun to play sudoku–especially from your own site or in your own posts.

Don’t forget that a lot of people misspell sudoku as suduku, sodoko, sudoko, sodoku and so on. Include those somewhere in your text to capture more traffic. I’m sure you have mis-typed it a time or two yourself.

Regards.

Google has an Incredible Site Search for WordPress Blogs

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I’ve been blogging with WordPress now for just over two months. I actually posted my first article on Feb. 20, 2006.

It didn’t take long to realize the significant traffic this would generate, not to mention actually being fun for me. I had almost 12,000 pages viewed the first full month, in March. April just finished up with right at 16,000 pages viewed.

So, now I am learning how to use WordPress to make things work like I want. That means learning some PHP as well as learning how to hack javascript into a post. Also, getting things to look like you want means some knowledge of style sheets too.

I hadn’t ever used PHP very much. In fact, most of my programming skills are from finding an example and tweaking it to suit my needs. I know just about enough of a lot of languages just to get around a little.

So, the way WordPress is arranged using PHP inline with HTML makes it really easy to grab things and position them as you want.

When I set up the search that comes with WordPress, I realized it was tied with the settings for the number of posts that are viewed in a category or archive on one page at a time.

So, to get the search right, you want 10 to 20 posts on each page. Otherwise the visitor will think there is only one hit for their search in your articles. The problem is: I don’t want that many posts on the non-search pages. I was getting around to creating an ‘if’ statement in the PHP to make the search page the only one that displayed more posts. But, I tried the Google Search bar instead.

I know you’ve seen the Google Search Bar on sites for years. I never really thought about it until now. It allows the visitor to select your web site in the search. It’s really cool. I like it much better for the way it displays the search results like a search engine. And it’s fast too.

You can put it anywhere you want in your site. I have it at the bottom of all my posts except here also in this post just to point it out.

It has a really easy wizard to click your options and allows you to input up to three websites to include in the search results. It’s an incredible search tool for your blog, or any site you have.

I just put it up tonight. I already love it.

If you aren’t using the Google search on your site, just click the link here:
