Affiliate Marketing – Highly Cost Effective, Highly Efficient
The Internet has fast become an efficient and trusted way for companies to market and sell their product. One of the reasons for this has been the rise of “Affiliated Marketing” – which is when a website directs traffic to itself through adverts on other (usually related) websites. Affiliated marketing either pays the affiliate through a pay-per-click program (the affiliate receives money every time an advert is clicked) or a pay-per-sale program (the affiliate receives commission every time a posted advert on their site generates an actual sale or subscription.) Generally, the pay-per-sale program (also called cost-per-sale, or CPS) is the tried and trusted form of affiliate marketing used. Read more

Happy Thanksgiving
Depending how stuffed I am or how lazy I get after downing several servings of deep fried turkey and all its trimmings and buzzed over watching too much football, I may or may not post any new stuff for the next 4 days… Long weekend… It’s time give thanks and be thankful for what we have and what we will soon have (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual -whatever floats one’s boat)…
That said, I wish you all a Safe, Rewarding and most of all a very Happy Thanksgiving Weekend…

Internet security has always been at top concern for IT industry. Because, nowadays a large number of monetary transactions are taking place using the online mechanism.

CISSP Exam Note (Domain 2: Telecommunications and Networking Security) – Intrusion Detection Systems
Intrusion Detection Systems
An Intrusion detection system (IDS) is a network security device that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious or unwanted behavior. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion_detection_system)
Terminologies:
- Alert/Alarm- A signal suggesting that a system has been or is being attacked.
- True attack stimulus- An event that triggers an IDS to produce an alarm and react as though a real attack were in progress.
- False attack stimulus- The event signaling an IDS to produce an alarm when no attack has taken place.
- False (False Positive)- An alert or alarm that is triggered when no actual attack has taken place.
- False negative- A failure of an IDS to detect an actual attack.
- Noise- Data or interference that can trigger a false positive.
- Site policy- Guidelines within an organization that control the rules and configurations of an IDS.
- Site policy awareness- The ability an IDS has to dynamically change its rules and configurations in response to changing environmental activity.
- Confidence value- A value an organization places on an IDS based on past performance and analysis to help determine its ability to effectively identify an attack.
- Alarm filtering- The process of categorizing attack alerts produced from an IDS in order to distinguish false positives from actual attacks. Read more
The Advantages of Affiliate Marketing
The concept of revenue sharing has been around for quite a while, long before the internet. But the idea of affiliate marketing has taken it to new levels, and become a staple form of advertising and bringing in business for all types of e-commerce.
Online merchants find affiliate marketing highly advantageous due to the fact that it presents little to no risk both for the merchant and the ‘affiliate.’ The way it works is that the affiliate earns a type of commission or fixed amount based on the number of sales the affiliate brings to the merchant, either through on-line links on the affiliates website – or through email, blogs, rss feeds and many other kinds of on-line communication. Some merchants (only about 1% of affiliate marketing) use a cost-per-click remuneration system, which simply means that the affiliate earns every time an internet searcher clicks on an advert on their site or email. However, due to fraudsters taking advantage of this method (creating ad-ware, sending spam, or useless indexing sites) this form of remuneration is not preferred and becomes too risky for merchants to use.
