Protecting your website from spammers

WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) in the world. Easy to use, powerful and infinitely customisable, it has become popular with both independent bloggers and major companies alike since its launch in 2003.

However, one of the main complaints about WordPress is comment spam. Spam can be a problem with any website. But the global popularity of WordPress makes it an even more tempting target for spammers.

So how can you protect your website if you constantly find yourself deleting spam messages?

USE A PLUGIN

The vast collection of WordPress plugins means that you are likely to find a plugin for almost any purpose. This is certainly true when it comes to protecting your site from spam.

One of the most popular anti-spam plugins is Akismet, which comes as default with any new WordPress website. This is highly effective and, although it is not loved by all, it can help to significantly reduce the spam comments you receive.

You can also choose from various other plugins that aim to do the same thing, including Defensio, AntiSpamBee, GASP and others. Experiment with a few and see which one you find most effective.

CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS

One of the simplest ways to make your life easier when it comes to avoiding spam comments is to change the settings on your website.

You may want to moderate all comments to avoid any spam posts appearing on your blog, and you can easily do this in your settings. You can also automatically hold comments if they contain a certain amount of links so that you can check them before allowing them to appear.

The downside is that moderating all comments can take a lot of time and effort on your part. To save time, you could choose to moderate only comments made by first-time commenters. That way, if you see that they are not spammers, the next time they leave a comment it will appear automatically.

UPDATE YOUR SITE REGULARLY

As well as spam comments appearing on your website, the other threat is posed by hackers who attempt to take control of your site in order to send out more spam to other recipients.

To prevent this happening to you, the first thing to remember is to update your WordPress site as soon as a new update becomes available. This will prevent hackers taking advantage of vulnerabilities that have been found in the old version.

You should also ensure that you update your theme whenever a new update becomes available. If your theme is particularly old and the developer is no longer providing updates, this could present a vulnerability that hackers can exploit. It is therefore usually better to choose a theme that is regularly updated by a dedicated team of developers.

KEEP YOUR SITE SPAM FREE

Spam causes a major headache for webmasters the world over, but you don’t have to put up with it. These are a few things that you can do to reduce the spam you receive on your WordPress website, as well as protect your website from being used by spammers to send out messages.

If in doubt about any aspect of spam, or you want to protect your website from hackers but don’t know how, hire an internet security professional to help you.

Tips for a Winning Social Media Game Plan

With nearly a dozen popular social networks now operating, it can be difficult for businesses to decide where they should devote their attention.

To help small businesses, Incarnate offer five strategies for developing a great social media game plan:

Let your target market be your guide: While that statement might sound a little oversimplified, consumer preferences are constantly changing, so you have to know the places where your consumers spend more time. For instance, despite the ubiquity of Facebook, fewer and fewer teenage users register accounts on the site, as older demographics increase. Does your social strategy reflect that fact? You may need some kind of Facebook exit plan.

Less is more: In terms of breadth of platforms, less is more if you’re working with limited resources. If you want your social networking to be effective, keep in mind it’s a long-term game. You really have to understand what you’re trying to accomplish on those platforms and know how to use all of the features available to you. In addition, people are dealing with intense information overload. Most consumers’ heads are swimming in information as media bombards them from every angle. It’s all about making consumers form an emotional attachment to your content, products and services through community.

Free is a relative term: While it’s free to sign up for every one of the major social networks, managing those accounts will still cost you in time. Keep in mind your availability and ability to produce quality content when choosing social networks. If you’re strapped for time, stick to social channels that are more conducive to quick sharing, sites like Twitter and Tumblr. If you have more time and ability on your hands, you may want to tackle a blog on WordPress or Blogger. If you are a visual person, and you want to share images that resonate with people, try Instagram. If you have more time to edit and refine, and some basic image-editing skills, Pinterest may be a good option for you.

Play to your strengths: Maintaining a strong social presence for your business takes work, so choose the network that you will enjoy and that plays to your strengths. If you’re a visual person and enjoy making images or editing video, stick to the visual social networks. If you’re more of a long-form writer, stick to networks that will highlight your word-smithing capabilities. If you think you’ve got an infectious personality, try vlogging on YouTube. Why mire through something that you really don’t like if you have limited time and money? Your passion and genuineness will shine through if you’re developing content that you actually enjoy producing.

Don’t forget about the niche networks: Joining a highly visible social network means you’ll be swimming in a vast sea of people searching for different things, and you’ll face stiff competition from multiple different players. Depending on your product or service, and your target market, you may also be better served by joining a social network with a highly focused audience. It may take a little digging to find the right space, but you’ll be significantly closer to network users, and you can often translate those relationships into relationships on the mainstream networking sites.

How Ajax Works

In traditional JavaScript coding, if you want to get any information from a database or a file on the server, or send user information to a server, you will have to make an HTML form and GET or POST data to the server. The user will have to click the “Submit” button to send/get the information, wait for the server to respond, and then a new page will load with the results.

Because the server returns a new page each time the user submits input, traditional web applications can run slowly and tend to be less user-friendly. With AJAX, your JavaScript communicates directly with the server, through the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object.

With an HTTP request, a web page can make a request to, and get a response from a web server, without reloading the page. The user will stay on the same page, and he or she will not notice that scripts request pages, or send data to a server in the background.

This picture is a simplified introduction about how Ajax works:

The user sends a request that executes an action and the action’s response is showed into a layer, identify by an ID, without reload the full page. For example a layer with this id:

<div id=”ajaxResponse”></div>

In the next steps we will see how to create an XMLHttpRequest and receive response from the server.

1. Create XMLhttpRequest

Different browsers use different methods to create the XMLHttpRequest object. Internet Explorer uses an ActiveXObject, while other browsers use the built-in JavaScript object called XMLHttpRequest.

To create this object, and deal with different browsers, we are going to use a “try and catch” statement.

function ajaxFunction()

{

var xmlHttp;

try

{

// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari

xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

}

catch (e)

{

// Internet Explorer

try

{

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP”);

}

catch (e)

{

try

{

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);

}

catch (e)

{

alert(“Your browser does not support AJAX!”);

return false;

}

}

}

2. Sending request to the server

To send off a request to the server, we use the open() method and the send() method.

The open() method takes three arguments. The first argument defines which method to use when sending the request (GET or POST). The second argument specifies the URL of the server-side script. The third argument specifies that the request should be handled asynchronously. The send() method sends the request off to the server.

xmlHttp.open(“GET”,”time.asp”,true);

xmlHttp.send(null);

3. Writing server side script

The responseText will store the data returned from the server. Here we want to send back the current time. The code in “time.asp” looks like this:

response.expires=-1

response.write(time)

4. Consuming the response

Now we need to consume the response received and display it to the user.

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function()

{

if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)

{

document.myForm.time.value=xmlHttp.responseText;

}

}

xmlHttp.open(“GET”,”time.asp”,true);

xmlHttp.send(null);

}

5. Complete the code

Now we must decide when the AJAX function should be executed. We will let the function run “behind the scenes” when the user types something in the username text field. The complete code looks like this:

<html>

<body>

function ajaxFunction()

{

var xmlHttp;

try

{

// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari

xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

}

catch (e)

{

// Internet Explorer

try

{

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP”);

}

catch (e)

{

try

{

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);

}

catch (e)

{

alert(“Your browser does not support AJAX!”);

return false;

}

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function()

{

if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)

{

document.myForm.time.value=xmlHttp.responseText;

}

xmlHttp.open(“GET”,”time.asp”,true);

xmlHttp.send(null);

}

</script>

Name: <input type=”text”

onkeyup=”ajaxFunction();” name=”username” />

Time: <input type=”text” name=”time” />

</form>

</body>

</html>
