10 Benefits Of Submitting Articles To E-zines

1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself
by submitting articles to e-zines. You could include
your name, business name, your credentials, web site
address and e-mail address in your resource box.

2. You will become known as an expert on the topics
you write about. This will give you and your business
extra credibility which will help you compete against
your competition.
3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's
home page. If they publish each issue on their home
page this will give you some extra exposure.

4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher
archives their e-zine on their site. People might want
to read the back issues before they make the decision
to subscribe.

5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to
spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You
could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't
publish your articles.

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to
hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to
speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your
income.

7. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your
articles in their free e-books. Since people give them
away, your advertising could multiply all over the
internet.

8. You will get your article published all over the web
when you submit it to an e-zine publisher that has a
free content directory on their web site. They'll allow
their visitors to republish your article.

9. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article
and like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your
product or service. You will then be able to increase
your profits.

10. You could get your article guaranteed to run in
an e-zine. You could agree to run one of their articles
in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their
e-zine. It's a win/win situation.

Important Information

Updated at 5:50 p.m. PDT with plaintiff saying he will drop the lawsuit; at 2:35 p.m. with legal expert comment; at 1:15 p.m. with information from Facebook's terms of service; and at 12:30 p.m. with more details, comment, and background.

A Florida librarian and activist said on Tuesday that he will drop a civil lawsuit he filed against Facebook alleging that the social network failed to adequately protect users from a virus.

Theodore Karantsalis, of Miami Springs, Fla., was seeking $70.50 from Facebook in the lawsuit, which was fileda week ago in Miami-Dade County court.

"I spoke with FB's law department and the case has been resolved," Karantsalis wrote in an e-mail late Tuesday. "I will file the attached Notice of Dismissal tomorrow. We agreed to add each other as 'friends' and 'poke' each other periodically. Also, FB is going to send me a T-shirt and I'm going to wear it in my profile photo."

Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said: "Obviously, we're pleased."

In the lawsuit, Karantsalis had alleged that Facebook breached a "legal duty to exercise at least reasonable care with regard to the safety of its network" on May 14 when it failed to properly contain a virus that spread across the social network. Karantsalis claimed his account was compromised and temporarily disabled and that his photos and friends were not restored.

"We're very interested to hear how he came up with the figure of $70.50," Schnitt wrote in an e-mail to CNET News early on Tuesday. "He's not going to get it but we promise to refund all the money he paid to use Facebook. Seriously, we're glad to know how important Facebook is to Mr. Karantsalis but his account was not disabled, is currently active, and he is using it, so I'm not sure what the problem is."

Karantsalis does have his account back up, but he said he had to manually re-add the photos and friends.

When Karantsalis' account was found to have been compromised nearly two weeks ago, Facebook reset his password and notified him via e-mail, as is the company's standard practice, Schnitt said. Facebook did not delete his photos and friends, he said.

In a phone interview, Karantsalis said the problem started when friends e-mailed and called him on May 14 to tell him that his name on Facebook had been changed to "John Doe" and it was being used to send out spam that directed people to a phishing site with a URL ending in ".im."

He said he does not know how his account was compromised and that he did not fall for a phishing scam. He said he teaches college classes on safe computing practices at Miami Dade College, where he works as assistant library director, according to Linked In.

Karantsalis said he arrived at the damages amount by figuring that each of the approximately 250 friends he had to re-add was worth 30 cents.

"Basically, I filed to get their attention," he said before agreeing to drop the suit. "Facebook has failed to respond to my e-mails and my phone calls."

"I'm a librarian and privacy advocate and take extra precautions with regard to safety," he had written in an e-mail to CNET News. "I've used PGP since 1995, an anonymous proxy, etc. If something like this can happen to me, then it's a big deal. FB is under reporting the amount of people affected."

According to a quick glance at Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (terms of service, in common parlance), Karantsalis' suit may not have held up in court. It states that claims should be filed in Santa Clara County in California and limits Facebook's liability.

"WE TRY TO KEEP FACEBOOK UP, BUG-FREE, AND SAFE, BUT YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK," the statement says. "WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT FACEBOOK WILL BE SAFE OR SECURE...WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS STATEMENT OR FACEBOOK, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES."

One lawyer said that from a legal standpoint Karantsalis' claim was "DOA" (dead-on-arrival).

"Per 47 USC 230, Facebook is not liable for third-party conduct and has no legal duty to protect its users from third party-caused harms," Eric Goldman, an associate professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law and director of High Tech Law Institute, wrote in an e-mail. "There are at least two federal appellate cases supporting this proposition. See Green v. AOL (AOL not liable for user-posted virus placed into AOL chatroom); and Doe v. MySpace (MySpace had no obligation to police its premises to prevent users from harming each other)."

"If anything, Karantsalis might be on the hook to Facebook for filing such a meritless lawsuit," he said.

Karantsalis, who is also a journalist and blogger, has a history of filing lawsuits. He sued the city of Miami Springs for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act for not providing sufficient access to roads and sidewalks. (He has multiple sclerosis.) Karantsalis also won more than $750 in damages and court fees after suing Sprint and Wells Fargo when his Sprint invoice and personal data were exposed to a stranger who banks online at Wells Fargo (Karantsalis does not bank there). In addition, he sued the U.S. Defense Department and Air Force under the Freedom of Information Act for information on the 1986 U.S. raid on Libya.

Asked to comment on his litigious background, Karantsalis said he has acted to protect his privacy when corporations negligently exposed his personal information. In other cases, he said he tries to "fight for the underdog" and is an advocate for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Meanwhile, Facebook, founded in 2004, has had its share of viruses and other scams. In the latest incident, for instance, the site was hit by a combined phishing/drive-by-download attack which stole log-in information and downloaded the Koobface worm and other malware onto computers on Thursday.

Feedjit Pro and Webmaster Launched

Last night at around 2am we quietly launched Feedjit Pro and Webmaster. We are offering a 30% Beta launch discount - simply enter coupon code ‘fjbeta30‘.

We’re really excited to have the product see the light of day. It’s taken 6 months of hard work and has some first-to-market features that are only available from us. Pro and Webmaster are identical except that with Pro we allow up to 1 Million page impressions per month and Webmaster gives you 10 Million.

Live Streaming Traffic

Like our free visible widget Pro offers live streaming traffic, but ith much more. The main differences are that along with visits you can also watch individual page views as someone surfs through your site. You can also filter out New vs Returning visitors and you can choose to “bump” visits that get another page view to the top of the list.

Feedjit Pro users are also on a higher priority server cluster. The main way this will affect you is that if you have an extremely busy website (more than 3 hits per second) you are gauranteed to see every visit and page view that comes through.

Live Events

This is my personal favorite feature. Events shows you first time events that occur on your site and they are pushed out to your browser as they happen just like Live Traffic pushes out visits. So lets say you’ve just written a new blog entry and you want to see who links to you. Go to Live Events, click the “Referring Pages” tab and kick back and watch as we will alert you the instant a new web page sends you a visitor.

We show live events for new search keywords, new referring pages, new referring sites, new cities who have visited your site for the first time, new countries and traffic records.

Insight

Feedjit Insight is a first-to-market product that you won’t see anywhere else. You give Insight a list of URLs (web page addresses) to monitor and we will show you how many of your visitors have visited one of those URL’s. You can group URL’s too, so for example you can create a “Social Networkers” group and add the URLs for MySpace, Facebook, Hi5 and any other social networking site you know of. Then you can select that group and see a graph of how many people who have visited one of those sites have visited your site. You can also graph page views, bounce rate, first time visitors, returning visitors, stickiness (the opposite of bounce rate), average time on site and average page views per visit.

This is an incredibly powerful feature and it works no matter what browser a visitor is running or what operating system they are on.

Insight can give you powerful competitive information - like how many of your visitors have visited your competitors website. Or even better: how many of your visitors have visited a certain product page on Amazon.com and what the bounce rate for those people is on your website. Try and do that with any other product.

Email alerts

We offer email alerts for just about anything. Want to set up an alert if your per-minute traffic rate hits a new records? No problem! And when we send you the alert, we’ll include the top sites that are sending you traffic so you can see where all your new visitors are coming from. We offer event alerts, so we can email you if you:

* Get a visitor from a new web page
* Get a visitor from a new web site
* Break a per-minute, hour or daily traffic record
* Are visited by a new city or country for the first time
* Get a visitor who used a new search term

You can also set up alerts to email you if you get a visitor from a specific city, web page or if someone hits a specific web page on your site. And you can set up email alerts for specific search terms.

For power users we support Perl style regular expression for pattern matching in our alerts.

All the standard stuff, but it’s all real-time

We offer all the standard stats that most good website stats packages offer, except they’re all up to the second real-time. These include:

* Absolute uniques, traffic depth, site stickiness, site bounce rate
* Real-time per page traffic including per-page bounce rates, uniques, visits, page views and much more
* Site visits and page views, new vs returning, time on site
* Detailed referrer traffic, search traffic, geo (city and country) traffic, language traffic and browsers and OS

Unlimited domains and priority email support

All our Pro and Webmaster users can add feedjit to an unlimited number of websites and get access to our priority email support system.

You can sign-up for Pro or Webmaster by visiting this page. We hope you enjoy Pro as much as we enjoyed putting it together. We will be adding new features every week, so check this blog often for announcements.

Mark & Kerry - The Feedjit Founders.
