Q&A: Is this person lying about posting affiliate links in my Facebook group?

Posted on October 8, 2021

Question from Jill:  Hi Rick, I’ve just joined your Rick’s Tech Tips Facebook group and already have learned so much!

I have a Facebook question. I don’t know if it is within your scope, but here goes.

I’m an admin on a group and from time to time one of the members posts links for things like Psychic Reading pages and similar things.

These links appear to be affiliate links and I think the person posting them receives some type of payment.

However there is a message going round that these posts are not in fact coming from that person but are somehow being sent by a third party purporting to be the member. And that’s what the person posting the links is claiming too.

If she is indeed posting these links I plan to remove her and block her from the group.

So my question is, is it possible that she’s telling the truth or is this just an excuse she’s using after having been caught?  [Read more…]

There are a number of very important decisions that one must make when preparing to start a blog, and one of the most important of all is your choice of a web hosting company.

Many people when planning their first blog make the mistake of choosing a web host based on price alone, and this is a huge mistake.

Most hosting companies are within the same ball park when it comes to pricing the various tiers of hosting plans, but the quality and value of those plans can vary by a huge margin.

Choosing a mediocre or even bad web host just to save a buck or two per month will almost always come back to haunt you.

Here are a few things to consider when it comes time to choose a web host for your blog:  [Read more…]

Regular readers of this blog know I often warn against installing apps from any repository besides the Google, Apple and Microsoft app stores because third-party app stores are typically riddled with malicious and malware-laden apps.

The big three mentioned above generally do a pretty good job at ensuring that the apps offered via their app stores are safe, but they are far from perfect.

To that point, a recent discovery by researchers for Dr. Web Antivirus has resulted in Google booting a total of nine malicious apps from the Google Play Store.

This simple tip could boost your blog’s page views by up to 50%

Posted on June 10, 2021

Are you a blogger who is looking for ways to boost the number of page views on your blog?

If so, I’m going to tell you about one simple change you can make right now that could potentially boost both your blog’s total number of monthly page views and the number of pages viewed per visit.

I’ve been using this strategy on my blogs for a while now, and the total number of pages viewed has risen by over 50% from what they were before I started doing it.

The best thing about this strategy is it requires hardly any extra work on my part. Yes, it does take me about five minutes longer to write each new post now, but that’s nothing really considering the benefits derived from so little extra work.

Now that I’ve (hopefully) piqued your interest, here’s my secret… [Read more…]

Charmast 20000mAh Portable Charger / Power Bank with Built-in Cables

Are you constantly misplacing the cables to your portable power bank? This little gem solves that problem once and for all.

It comes with USB-C, USB-A and microUSB cables built right into it, ensuring that you always have them when you need them. And if your device uses a Lightning connector you can plug in an external Lightning cable as well.

The 20000mAH capacity is good for 3 – 4 full phone charges or several partial charges, which I’ve found to be more than adequate for my needs.

This has been my go-to portable charger and power bank for a while now and I absolutely love it.
