[Q33]Quick And Easy Painting

by Ryan Tenney, Rya

I bet you are frustrated over constantly having to buy new water filters for your home. After all, you don't want to drink the tap water straight- who knows where it has been. And, you certainly don't want to pay keep paying for water filters that only last so long. Well, the good news is that there are a couple of tips to keep in mind when shopping for your new water filters at Walmart or Cosco. We'll go over a few of them here.

1) Quality over quantity. Just because a water filter looks like a good deal, does not mean it actually is. Compare the quality of the different filters and most importantly how many uses you are likely to get out of each water filter and you should be able to make a fairly good judgement on just what you are getting in a water filter.

2) Don't forget online resources. The web is an amazing resource for those of us who want to compare the different types of bargains that might be available to us. You need to look everywhere (including Ebay which probably does sell water filters, heck: they sell everything else there) and you can scrape up a deal for sure. Buying in bulk direct from the manufacturer is a great way to save if you have a large family that runs through water filters constantly.

3) The most important part is to learn about the different types of water filters available. Quality and online shopping will only take you so far if you don't know what you are doing. There are literally hundreds of different manufacturers and distributors of water filters that you can spend your money with these days. Like any market, a few of the water filter companies are really good and a few of them are really bad. Taking time to learn the basics is well worth your time and will definitely save you a lot of money in the years to come. Basic research can return a huge amount of value to those people who are motivated to do it. Invest your time in learning which water filters are the best for you.

I am a living, breathing example that it is possible to make this fantasy a reality.

While building my very first Website, I naively put my email address on every single page of my site.

I wanted to give my visitors a chance to ask me questions, make comments on my site, etc.

As my Website grew more and more popular, I started to receive 200 spam emails a day. Then 1000, 2000, 3000...until it became truly unbearable.

I needed an escape from this nightmare and quickly began to draw up my battle plan against the spammers.

The first thing I had to accept was that my old email address had to be put to rest. So I had to give it a proper burial and let it go. Then I created a new email address and applied spam prevention techniques I had diligently researched.

The result? A spam free email account.

Let me tell you, it was total bliss!

You are in a war. You vs. the enemy (Spammers). The war has swung to the other side, but by using my detailed battleplan, you can turn the tide in your favor.

To win the ever growing battle against spammers, you have to study your enemy, then take action.

This may be the most important sentence you ever read about spam prevention, so pay attention - Spammers cannot fill your inbox with their garbage if they can't find your email.

It really is that simple.

With that in mind, below you will find your battle plan:

Step 1: Say good-bye to your old email account

If your inbox is filled with spam, dump it. I know using a new email address can be painful, but in the end you will be happy you took this advice.

Once the spammers find your email, you will never be able to regain full control of your inbox.

Step 2: Create a 'dummy' account at Hotmail or Yahoo!

Whenever you post on a message board, sign-up for an offer, or are asked to give out your email, use this dummy account.

Never use your main email address in such a manner, especially on a message board.

Many people try to "disguise" their emails while posting on a message board, under the false assumption a spam bot won't grab this email.

As an example:

john @ myemailaccount.com
johnATmyemailaccountDotcom

The enemy has now programmed their spamming software to recognize these disguised emails.

Step 3: Use a contact form on your Website

This is a critical step. So listen closely.

Many savvy Webmasters use contact forms to prevent spam. However, it has to be done correctly to be effective.

If you have your email address ANYWHERE within your HTML, the new spamming software will find it.

You can't use HTML encryption to hide your address, like you could in the past. The enemy has created new software that breaks down this code and grabs your email.

Many contact forms require you to use your email address to send the form information. BIG MISTAKE.

The spam bots will grab any email address in your HTML, even if it is in your contact form.

Your CGI script should contain the response email address - it should not be in the HTML.

Step 4: Make a graphic of your email address

If you must have your actual email on your site, create a small image of your email address.

Then link this graphic to your contact form.

Now your customers can write down your actual email address and contact you at a later date.

The war rages on against spam, but by using these guerilla warfare tactics against spammers, you will soon achieve your FREEDOM!
