Many of you have noticed over the past week or so that we have been seeing a higher than normal amount of spam slip through the filters and make it to users’  in-boxes.  We have been in contact with MailFoundry and they have told us that there was an issue with their system that takes messages from the reported spam feed and injects them into the rule creation engine, thus updating the spam definitions.  This has caused reported spam to not get put into the engine definitions in a timely manner, leading to an increase in non-filtered spam over the last week or so.

Reportedly this is looking better today, but the MailFoundry developers are monitoring the situation to see if any additional adjustment is necessary.  For those who have reported this increase in spam to our support, please monitor the situation over the next few days and let us know if the amount of spam slipping through begins to reduce.

We’ve recently launched our  “Locals Only”  Pay-Per-Click Service. “Locals Only” is targeted search engine traffic for brick-n-mortar businesses.

With our “Locals Only” service we find potential customers searching for products and services in your area which could be by zip, region or area code!

More and more people are using the internet as  a replacement for their local Yellow Pages and if you are not advertising online your definitely loosing customers.

Do a search on Google for a product or service that you offer. Did you find your competition during your search? If not, that’s great! If you did or didn’t, you really need to be advertising online.

Twitter Analytics Added to WEB2STATS

Are there a lot of people talking about you or your web site. But do you know what they’re saying, when they are saying it? It’s hard to keep track of it all. That’s why we created the best Twitter Analytics service on the planet, and built it right into E-nable My Biz!’s WEB2STATS. You simply enter in keywords that you want track on Twitter, we’ll automatically do the rest for you, creating beautiful reports like the one below.

You can filter the individual tweets by all sort of criteria (e.g. ones containing links, one with questions, ones with a positive tone), and you can reply or retweet directly from WEB2STATS.

Here is a solution to adding Google Analytics tracking code across multiple sites without having to edit any pages using mod_layout. Google Analytics uses a java-script code that must be placed on the bottom of each displayed web page.

You’ll need root access, Apache and some technical expertise install mod_layout.

Let’s get started!

mod_layout is an Apache module that provides both a Footer and Header directive to automatically include output at the beginning and ending of a web page.

You can download mod_layout from here:

http://tangent.org/index.pl?node_id=362

We’ll download the Apache 2.2 version and extract the tarbar on the server.

Install mod_layout using:

mod_layout will install the link to the library in your http.conf as such:

Restart Apache server.

Adding the GAC

Now go the web site’s document root where the web site’s web pages are and create a text file called gac.txt. You could really name it anything you want but for our purposes will use gac.txt (google analytics code).

In the gac.txt file, cut and paste your Google Analytics code from Google’s site. Your file should look like this:

Update the Virtualhost

Now we need to add the following to your <Virtualhost>..</VirtualHost>:

Depending on your Apache setup the <Virtualhost>..</VirtualHost> could be just about anywhere, for us, we use DirectAdmin. DirectAdmin makes this very easy. Just click on the Custom HTTPD Configuration link, select the Domain and add the above code and save.

Restart Apache

Now every displayed web page will have the Google Analytics code placed in it, view the web page source code to verify. How this works is that mod_lay is adding the text from the gac.txt file to the web page when it is displayed. The LayoutFooter directive places the added text right before the </body> tag of the web page to be displayed.

You may not want to add the footer to certain type of files, like .cgi, .pl, .rss etc., like so:

Now you can easily add Google Analytics to many accounts having thousands of pages in minutes!
