How to Identify a Scam Website in Pakistan?

How to Identify a Scam Website in Pakistan?    

Internet is without any doubt a great invention and has given a lot to the humanity in terms of providing free information and opportunities for everyone regardless religion, language, country and cast. But as every invention has two sides, the one which people positively use for better serving the humanity and the another one is using it for negative activities. And the same thing is happening with the internet since its invention. People use it for researching and publishing their stories, and also to buy any stuff online, companies use it for selling their products, for providing services and a lot more. While, there are a few number of people who use internet for bad activities such as making some people fool and getting money from them. There are hundreds and even thousands of scam websites which takes money from people for jobs or income and then don’t give that money back. Some scam websites offer online jobs and home-based work and when the users reach their withdrawal amount, they refuse to pay the payment, and don’t do a fair business with its customers.
scam websites alert
So in this article we’ll be addressing a very common issue called “Scam Websites” or it might also be called “Fraud websites”, I’ll give you some tips to identify whether a website is “Scam” or “real”. So after reading this article, its your turn to identify the website you are going to do a business with or a deal with. Alhamdullillah, I have common sense myself and have never been scammed by anyone on the internet. And I’ll share the same measures with you which I use for checking a website and its credibility.

How people are scammed on the internet?

I received many emails, SMS and comments from our readers and some people who were complaining that some sites or a site scammed them and didn’t refund their money back. They mostly complain about their own money which was taken from them by “Scam websites” in order to provide them benefits and income, but there was neither income nor the invested money was given back. My answer to all those brothers and sisters is; why didn’t you ask someone for the reality and credibility of that website before investing your money there?, if you quietly did everything yourself and then you came to know you’ve been plundered then why you are asking people to get your money back from them, but at the time you were blindly investing your money, you didn’t ask anyone.

How to Identify a Scam website?

So here I come with few indications that are given by the “Scam websites” themselves, which are common in each and every website who are doing bad business with people. Here is the list of those common indications which you must consider in order to identify whether the website is scam or not? and should you invest your money or not:
  • Mostly scam websites offer “Guarantee” on everything, even they offer you lifetime money back guarantee
  • Scam websites mostly don’t have the real owner or contact numbers on their websites
  • Scam websites mostly try to hide their country and office address
  • Scam websites are always designed with “colors” and “Shiny” words, so that one may be inspired by them easily
  • Most of the scam websites tell you a shortcut for getting success or making money online
The above are few indications which you can use to identify a scam website or a fraud company, but there are a lot more to be pointed out when making a decision about the reality of a website on the internet.
Some websites offer services like SEO, Web Designing, Web Development and making money online etc in Pakistan. So if you want to get any of their services then kindly first check their own ranking and reputation as well as their history in the market.
You can check anyone’s ranking using different tools such as Alexa.com, who.is and many other tools. You should also check the projects they have already done and ask their customers for more satisfaction. If their customers told you about their services and customer support that would be an extra information for you before making any decision.
If anyone is just offering you services they have not expertise in then it might be harmful for you in the future. you might lose your money as well as precious time.
My message is particularly for Pakistani users who are mostly being affected by scam sites because they mostly don’t consider the factors which I mentioned above. So be aware and do a comprehensive research before you join any website that asks you for investment.
Last Thing: 
In USA and western countries even the governments are taking care of people and making them aware from losing their money. So you can take a look at this FBI’s page for increasing your knowledge more and more in order to be on safe side:
There are however some other websites which can help you to detect how a website is secure and reliable, so you may always use these websites to check more about the website you are going to do any business with:
Note: All the above information provided by us is just for common awareness about identifying the spamming and fraud websites, we have not mentioned any particular website or company, its just for general purpose to identify a website or company on the internet.
Let me know in comments if you have further questions or you want to add any suggestions to this post, so people may get more help from your suggestions. Thank You!

seo-stragegies
There are many SEO strategies that you can follow to increase the rank of your website in the eyes of Google and stays in the first page of Google search. Let’s discuss some of key points that will help you to make a powerful strategy for your website.

#1. Website Design

Design of your website matters a lot. Have a little attention towards design of your website. Make sure that your website attracts the people not create difficulty for customers of your website. Select a very eye-catching and decent color for your website to attract the users of your website from different communities. Everyone who visits your website must easily navigate to any part of your website, so they’ll not leave it, but will spend sometime. And it decrease the bounce rate.

#2. High Quality Content

After the design of your website let’s come to the content of your website. Content of your website is very important to rank up your website in Google. Content is the one that takes people towards your website and enforce them to stay on your website for a time. Always try to post the content which is very informative, unique and up to date.If you provide a good quality content on your website and ensure this in your every post than you might get subscriptions from your customers. This increases your website’s traffic tremendously. Higher the number of subscriber shows that you have a very powerful content on your website which users like the most. Google also consider this popularity of your website among the users to rank up your website. Make sure that content on your website must be SEO-enriched that serves a very useful purpose to readers of your website.Keep in mind that Google continuously changes and enhances its searching algorithms to get the high quality websites on its first page.

#3. HTML of your Website

HTML tags of your website helps Google to move through the content of your website efficiently and quickly. Google also ensure that either your website is relevant to your keywords or not by HTML tags of your website. HTML tags also organize the content of your website. It is very clear now that you should work hard on HTML tags of any page of your website, specially the most important tags i.e. HTML meta tags and heading tags.

#4. Relevant Keywords

Relevant keywords are those which are most appropriate and represent the topic of your website. Keywords are the word or term which user enters in Google search and then Google moves through different websites and fetches the websites having those  keywords and shows in the search result. Keywords are the ones which actually bring customers to your website from Google. Make sure that you use your targeted keywords within the name of web pages, meta tags, descriptions and headings of your website.

#5. Social Media is Important Today

After doing all above, I’d also suggest to not forget social media networks i.e Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn, because by using these social networks you can not only drive tons of traffic towards your website, but also increase your search engines ranking. Force people to share your content over social media with their friends. The more people share your content, the more will be better your ranking. Give more importance to Google+ and increase your circles over there for better visibility in Google searches.

How to Improve Page Rank of your Website?

How to Improve Page Rank of your Website?


Just yesterday we were shocked by Google when we saw a new Pagerank Update in December 2013. This was a shock because Google had not updated its Page Rank toolbar since February 2013 (as usually it get updated after every 3 months), and its now been 10 months we didn’t see any updates from Google. But it just happened yesterday on 5th December. Everyone () is now feeling relaxed after having this update seen, because many of the pros and experts were even saying that there will be no PR update in 2014, this included Mr. Matt Cutts who is the Head of Google Web Spam (Mattcutts.com/blog). But now the fact has been disclosed by Google itself that Page Rank still exists and will be in the future. So now we should work hard to improve our site/blog’s page rank before next PR update which might be probably after three months in March 2014. So here via this post, I’ll discuss some particular tips with you regarding improving PR of your site.
Google-Pagerank
These are few tips that will help you in improving your site’s Page Rank over the next 3 months before next PR update, so you may start working over your site off-page SEO in order to be having a good PR next time. The tips are ordinary which you might have already read on other sites, but I’ll try to put something extra on it, so you can easily understand it and apply it over your sites right now.

#1. Write Quality & Unique Content

This may not sound good to you, but undoubtedly quality and unique content can improve your PageRank rapidly, this is because Google gives priority to quality content and its authors, if you remember .Edu sites which have great PRs without having enough backlinks, and backlinks are considered the backbone for getting a high pagerank. So then why the .Edu sites get high PR from Google, also I’ve seen authors who have just written great content and without a single backlink they got PR3 and PR4 from Google just because their content/articles were up to the mark. Moreover, your quality content might be shared by others and also linked by others, so you get free backlinks for your content from everywhere.

#2. Start Guest Posting Today

This is a genuine method for improving your PR on early basis, you need to write quality content for other websites in your niche, this way you’ll get one or two backlinks for your site from every blog where you’ve guest posted. Guest posting is a job something like you are cooking eggs for someone else, but in return you are given some respect in terms of one or two backlinks which may help you in upcoming Google PR update, you should find the websites/blogs related to your topic and request them if you can write for them. In the starting try to write for PR2 blogs and then try to write for PR3,PR4 and PR5 blogs/sites. So your every guest post will bring a lot of visitors back to your site as well as a permanent backlink for improving your PR.

#3. Blog Comments & Social Media

You can’t be lazy, you must at least take out 30 minutes everyday to go to your favorite blogs and comment there, you need to at least leave 20 comments daily on different websites which are related to your topic, so this way you’ll get some positive links which will help you improving your own PR over next Google Update. Moreover, try to at least create profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon, Digg and Riddit.com. These all social networking sites are free to join and you can just add your site/blog’s URL in your profile over there. This way you are creating some great backlinks forever. Don’t be late, just go for it.
Don’t miss these posts: 

#4. Don’t be selfish, Help someone on Forums & get response

If you try, there are many helpful forums around the web, where you can find threads on every topic, so you can join and you must join these forums in order to create backlinks for your site. Not only you will improve your PR but you’ll also help people there. And of course, you’ll learn something new over each forum you join. Every comment or reply you leave over these forums, you’ll get a backlink for your own site. So this is not a bad deal, go for it. Just write in Google a keyword like this “Best forums to join“.

#5. Create something and see a BOOST

This is something like a secret, you probably have visited a website spelled “btemplates.com” which is a resource for free blogger templates, and if you check it on Alexa.com then you’ll be surprised to see that this site is having 12000 backlinks, which is a huge amount. However, the free templates shared by Btemplates are not mostly created by themselves, but despite that they have thousands of free backlinks from different sources. So if you create a simple blogger template or a beautiful blogger widget then you can easily get hundred and even thousands of backlinks. You can simply convert WordPress themes to Blogger or you can just create a simple blogger widget which can attract people, you just need to add your blog/site’s link in the footer of that template/widget and every person uses that will give you a free backlink from their site. And this way you’ll create more backlinks in very short time. I’ve seen even kids are doing this and getting thousands of links.
Also keep this in mind
This is the last tip for improving your PR over next G-Update, you should always interlink your older posts with the new ones you write every single day or anytime you do. Just find some keywords in your recent post, and interlink them with relevant posts you already published on your site/blog, this is actually called interlinking. So by using this way you can also improve your Page rank and if you want to improve the PR of your blog’s Home Page more rapidly then just use your home page link most often in posts with relevant keywords and see the boost in next Google PR update.
We got PR2 this time, but Inshallah we’ll get either PR3 or PR4 in upcoming Google PR update, so stay tuned for more tips and share your experience and what did you get over this page rank update from Google? share your views in the comments. Thanks anyway, for reading this long post.
