The Ultimate Web Traffic Myth
By Chris Taylor
Have you noticed the many marketing books using the word “secret” in their title, headline or copy?
Why do they do this?
Is their actually one or two online marketing methods or strategies that are going to bring to your site an ever growing consistent stream of willing to buy targeted clients?
The simple answer is NO.
Unfortunately many website owners think this is not the case and continue to accumulate book after book and software package after software package looking for “the ultimate web traffic method”.
The fact is that there is no one single marketing method that will make your online business successful, period. Only continual application of the right methods will see your business grow and expand.
The main reasons why most people think there is one main method is because of the following four elements:
- If you wanted to be a "plumber", you would do your apprenticeship and then work for someone or then start your own business. If you wanted to own a "milk bar" you get a business loan, buy the "milk bar" and start running the business. Why do we know this and why are there no so called "secrets" regarding being a plumber or running a milk bar? Because these businesses have been around for a long time, to start them is "common knowledge".
- Therefore because the is new and evolving, how to start an business has yet to become "common knowledge" and there is still many unknown aspects regarding the subject unlike traditional business. Unfortunately, many now capitalize
on this "unknown aspect" by selling so called "secret information" type products thus only increasing the myth regarding business.
- Even if starting an business was "common knowledge", there is simply too much information to decipher. Unlike going to the local library, finding the business section and picking one or two of the five books on "starting your own business"; you are now on the internet. You have a world library, the business section is as big as a football stadium and books on "starting your own business online" are in the thousands (including many misleading ones).
- This final point is the most important one. People want to believe there is an easy way to get a lot of web traffic and make a fortune without any work; they just have to find it! This is just human nature.
So now you know that you must use more than one marketing method to make your online business successful.
Stick with the main tried and true methods -

15 bits of crypto should be enough for anybody
On May 13, security advisories published by <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html">Debian</a> and <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1">Ubuntu</a> revealed that, for over a year, their OpenSSL libraries have had a major flaw in their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure_pseudorandom_number_generator" title="Wikipedia: Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator">CSPRNG</a>, which is used by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_generation" title="Wikipedia: Key generation">key generation</a> functions in many widely-used applications, which caused the "random" numbers produced to be extremely predictable. <small>[<a href="http://blog.rominet.net/2008/05/debianopenssl-debacle.html">lolcat summary</a>]</small> How bad is it? It's <a href="http://www.debian.org/security/key-rollover/">pretty</a> <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys">bad</a>. Understand that these keys are used not only for encryption, but also for authentication. The keyspace has been reduced to a mere 32,768 possibilities, and you can already <a href="http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/debian-openssl/">download them all</a>, along with tools to use them. Worse still, in the days <em>before</em> the issue became publicly known, there was a <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/attacks/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=207603339">noticeable</a> <a href="http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html">spike</a> in the number of brute-force attacks on SSH servers, indicating that there has already been significant exploitation of this vulnerability.
Partial timeline of events: In May 2006, <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=363516">a bug</a> led to <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.openssl.devel/10917">a question</a> which led to <a href="http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-openssl/openssl/trunk/rand/md_rand.c?rev=141&r1=140&r2=141">the fateful patch</a> being applied to <a href="http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-openssl/openssl/trunk/rand/md_rand.c?rev=141&view=markup">md_rand.c</a> (in Debian's "unstable" development branch). In April 2007, Debian 4.0 "etch" and Ubuntu 7.04 were both released, which was the beginning of the inclusion of the buggy version of OpenSSL in officially-released distributions. The bug remained unfixed through the releases of Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04. On May 7, 2008, the <a href="http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-openssl/openssl/trunk/crypto/rand/md_rand.c?rev=300&view=diff&r1=300&r2=299">patch to fix the problem</a> was committed to Debian's source repository, and on May 13 the issue was officially disclosed and updated packages were made available to users. (The patch's availability days before public disclosure of the bug appears to be a violation of <a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-security-confidentiality">Debian's policy</a>.)
