Block Ads, Defeat Pop-Ups, and STOP Page Hijacking
You're not alone!
Who hasn't surfed the web looking for information only to
have their session interrupted by those annoying pop-up
windows displaying everything from banner ads to newsletter
sign-up's?
Though pop-up windows and other methods of influencing a
user's online experiences originally had positive
intentions, they now seem only to annoy and manipulate
users at every turn.
For anyone who ever felt extremely irritated by online
advertising, the following advice should help.
** Pop-Up Ads **
Pop-up windows open new pages in your browser without your
permission and, sometimes, without your knowledge.
They slow down your surfing and cause confusion, even for
the most experienced surfer.
If you don't want to see pop-up windows in your browser,
you should get a free pop-up blocker like the ones that
come with the Google tool bar (http://toolbar.google.com)
or the Alexa tool bar (http://download.alexa.com).
Either of these free tools "plug in" to your web browser
and will stop the majority of pop-ups, including the
situations where 5 or 10 pop-up windows fly up on your
screen and "attack" you all at once!
** Page Hijacking **
Have you ever surfed along peacefully when all of a sudden
you hit your back button and nothing happened?
Click-click-click - no matter how many times you hit the
button, it seemed your web browser had been "wheel locked"
to a certain site and no amount of effort allowed you to
back track.
This nasty little trick, otherwise know as "page hijacking"
involves inserting a small bit of code into a web page that
disables your browser's "back" button.
To defeat this little nasty just click and hold the down
arrow next to your browser's "back" button (on both
Internet Explorer and Netscape) to see a list of the last
few pages you've browsed.
Click on a link in the history list to free yourself and
resume surfing.
Careful though, you may not have been hijacked, you may
have been the victim of the next dirty trick.
** Fast Meta Refresh **
A predecessor of the pop-up window, the fast meta refresh
trick involves opening one page and almost instantly having
your browser redirected to another page.
This tactic, often used by search engine promoters, often
leads to wasted time on pages that have little relevance to
your search.
It may also entail opening five to ten additional windows,
frequently displaying offensive material such as
pornography.
Closing all your browser windows and starting over seems
the only sure-fire way to defeat this tactic. Hitting your
back button to retreat from the problem will usually just
cause more windows to appear.
Quick Tip: If you find yourself attacked by multiple pop-up
ads, hold down the key and hit the key
repeatedly, all the web browser windows on your screen will
disappear faster than new ones can pop open.
If you feel a website operator appears to openly abuse
visitors with annoying or unscrupulous tactics, feel free
to complain to their hosting company or the search engines.
By doing so you might save the next person a whole lot of
inconvenience.

How to Avoid v7ndotcom elursrebmem Complaints in Your Emails
v7ndotcom elursrebmem filters are responsible for deleting a high
percentage of legitimate business emails from
people who have no wish to v7ndotcom elursrebmem. Here are some
tips to avoid spam complaints in your emails or
ezine.
Dealing With SPAM - An E-mail Address Strategy
With SPAM being such a problem it might seem the right thing to do is never give anyone your email address. As a strategy that's not bad but it misses one rather important point; the purpose of having an email address is to be able to exchange emails, both with friends and also as a means to receive eZines from online forums and information sites. In theory any one of these sources could share your email address with a v7ndotcom elursrebmemer (perhaps by listing it on a public site) and before you know it your email box is full of emails you don't want and can't stop... note, we do not do this, your address is safe with us.
Therefore what you need would seem to be a list of separate email addresses, all of which are yours, that you allocate out to the different email lists and online forums you have. That way if one of the addresses gets picked up by the spammers you can just drop and block that one address (and perhaps the list it was subscribed to) and continue in your low or no-SPAM world.
So how do we do this?
What we're going to do is use one "real" email account (ideally with a hard to guess name) and then a set of forwarded email addresses, all of which are different, but all point back to the real email address. Typically your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides a small number of email-boxes for you (normally called "POP3" mailboxes). Choose one of these to be your "real" email address and point your email client to it (follow the instruction in your email client such as Outlook Express and ISP to do this). Then we need to register a domain name which will allow us to have lots of forwarded email addresses. 123-Reg.com
are an example of a company that provides an inexpensive high-quality service to do this, so we'll use them
as an example. Create an account, it's free to do this, and give them your real email address. Then you should register a domain name with them; obviously you need to think of a domain name which you would like as part of your "public face." Choosing a name you like can take a little thought, but don't take too long, domain names are being registered at the rate of one every two seconds, so get in to secure yours as soon as you can! The cost is very low, with .uk domains at around UKŁ3 / US$5 per year and .com/.net around UKŁ9 / US$15 per year (note, you should register for at least two years). Using the email forwarding option from the 123-reg.com control panel, set the catch-all address as your real email address. Then any emails sent to any name at your domain will be forwarded on to you automatically.
Here's a worked example for Brenda Wyatt.
Brenda's ISP supplied POP3 email address is brenda@myisp.com
She creates an account at 123-reg.com and registers the domain "WyattMail.net"
She sets up email forwarding via the 123-reg control panel to forward all emails received to @wyattmail.net to brenda@myisp.com.
Now when Brenda signs up to a forum or email list she gives an email address which is individual to that list. Let's say she registers with Amazon, she could register as 'Amazon@wyattemail.net'. They will send emails to that address which will be forwarded to her brenda@myisp.com email address and she can read them as she wishes.
The nice thing about this system is that Brenda hasn't had to go anywhere else to register the email address 'Amazon@wyattemail.net', 123-reg just sees the wyattemail.net part and sends it on for her.
So what happens if she finds one of her email addresses is being targeted by spammers? Let's assume this happens to her "dodgylist@wyattemail.net" email address. She then goes to 123-reg.com, logs in and goes to the control panel. She selects the email forwarding page, adds a fresh line with 'dodgylist@wyattemail.net' in it, clicks the 'return to sender' checkbox and clicks 'update'. Now any email to this address will be returned to whence it came. Nice, eh?
