Affiliate Marketing and Seo Blog Just One Word: SUCCEED!

Hack Attack!

Some days ago my VPS server was hacked and ALL data deleted. I do not have any backup copies. I lost 40 domains. I have no idea why people are doing something like this.... But I guess instead of wasting my time thinking about why people are so stupid I should spend my time to get everything back to normal.  My hosting company told me that everything was deleted: I am glad that I always want to check out things myself and I noticed that Mysql databases are still there. Hooray! So my contentattack articles are back again! I still need to re-install all WordPress plugins and add missing images. But after that I am back 100%. I guess I cannot emphasize it enough: secure ALL of your domains and hosting accounts, choose SAVE passwords and always create backup copies of your work!

My other domains are also not lost, because MYsql databases are still there as well. Only all other files are gone. Firepow support stuff has been pretty helpful. They told me that there will definitely a way to get my wordpress installations back. So they seem to be working behind the scenes.

  1. I was wondering what was going on with your site – I visited and it was asking for an installation.

    Yikes – 40 domains down? you really are making some serious money! =)

    Glad you’re back up!

  2. Hello James,
    Yes, 40 domains down and 30 are now back up again. I make my living off the internet since 2003. The first money I have made was from my own membership site affiliatesupport.com. I stopped, because of competition. Then there was the “Adsense Goldrush” back in 2003 and 2004. Sadly those times are over. After that I was in the traffic and guaranteed signup reseller business. I stopped, because of the low quality of guaranteed signups and also the poor quality of guaranteed visitors.
    Next I started a PLR membership site on contentattack.com. I guess I was one of the first PLR membership sites online. But soon there was too much competition and I moved on and focused on affiliate marketing. Mainly with Squidoo and Hubpages… But those days are over as well. For the past year I am focusing on Niche Blogs. Due to the Google Algo it takes some time to get ranked, but I am doing OK and will stick to it.
