There's one thing that allows MySpace spam to thrive - nothing is being done to stop spammers.Regular email has filters to send spam into a junk mailbox. MySpace has nothing of the sort, creating the perfect conditions for spammers to thrive. If you’re a spammer, MySpace is a great environment for you to do your work.I would expect an internet company to delete the profiles of the people that use their service in an abusive way. But I doubt MySpace could do anything to stop it. With over 100 million accounts, who would be able to track this bad behaviour? I would think that would be virtually impossible.I know for a fact that MySpace hardly ever replies to messages from its users. I know this because I, myself, had some technical issues with my account which I emailed their help center to help me resolve. I sent 5 messages. I never got a reply. So, if users email MySpace to complain about spammers, I doubt MySpace does anything about it either. And, I'm sure people annoyed with junk email do just that.Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy MySpace. The spam I could live with. I guess it's a measure of success when spammers target your site. They wouldn't do so if it wasn't worth it to them.Nevertheless, I find some of the junk mail that I receive in my MySpace inbox quite comical. Take my most recent MySpace spam email:"Hello Sir, Can you go to this web site http://forexers.biz/?ref=xxxxx and register but you need to have an e-gold account so that you can start making m

What’s the point in spending hours preparing a newsletter, message or report if it's automatically filtered into the junk folder before the recipient even sees it? Spam threatens to choke the communication channels promising global freedom of expression. Internet Service Providers (ISPs), corporate server administrators and end users are increasingly using new anti-spam technology to try to stem the relentless tide of junk email flooding the Net. The problem is: how can we prevent the dolphins from being caught along with the sharks? The origin of ‘spam’ SPAM is a pink canned luncheon meat immortalised in Monty Python’s spam-loving Vikings sketch. In an Internet context, lowercase spam refers to unsolicited commercial or bulk email (such as get-rich-quick schemes, miracle cures, weight loss, Viagra, lotteries, loans, pornography and Nigerian sob stories) and allegedly originated in a MUD/MUSH community. Of more practical use is the origin of the actual spam mail itself. Where does all the junk come from? In the mid-90s, Usenet newsgroups (also called "discussion groups" or "bulletin boards") were the number one source of email addresses for spammers. Today, the most common origin is web pages, especially if they’re listed in a search engine or directory. Some people have tried foiling address-seeking spambots by inserting the word “UNSPAM” in capitals in the middle of all email addresses on t
And the one thing buyers are demanding is money! Money in repairs, money in upgrades, money in closing costs, and sometimes, money in their pocket.
The most surprising thing in my mortgage business, to me, has always been how little money people have saved.
Most loan programs simply require lenders to verify the borrower has two month’s worth of house payments in cash reserves when they close escrow. The majority of people I deal with have trouble meeting that condition.
Forget down payments. They don’t have it and that’s why 100% financing is so popular. But how about the 2%-3% in closing costs required to purchase a home? They don’t have that either. Enter seller contributions.
A seller contribution is when the seller of a home puts up some or all of the money needed toward the buyer’s closing costs. Seller contributions can be negotiated at the time of a home purchase by having the seller pay closing costs rather than a reduction of the home sales price.
Sometimes you can do a combination of both.
A lot of people are creditworthy of having a mortgage but they just don’t have a lot of money in the bank. In these cases, seller contributions can mean the difference between a sale and no sale.
A Seller contribution is very easy to do. You simply disclose it to the lender. In most cases, these contributions range from 3%-6% of the purchase price. Some 100% financing programs now allow seller contributions up to 6%. It used to be capped at 3%.

As part of the loan process, your borrower may be required to provide an explanation for derogatory credit such as late payments, bankruptcy, or judgments. This is a very important step and may make the difference in the loan program and interest rate that your borrower is approved for. While some borrowers are sophisticated enough to handle the task independently, others may require some help. Rather than writing an explanation yourself, give the borrower some guidance on the proper format. A good credit explanation should contain the following:1. An acknowledgement of what happened. This demonstrates honesty and understanding of the necessity to repay the debt.2. A reason why it happened. Don’t leave this to the underwriter’s assumption. Circumstances that are within the borrower’s control will be viewed differently from those that are not (i.e., loaning your bill money to a friend vs. being laid-off from a job).3. A statement of what is different now. This part of the letter is essential. The lender needs to know what has changed in the borrower’s life that will reduce the likelihood that the proposed loan will not go into early default.4. Finally, if supporting documentation is available, include it.A few excuses that are NOT recommended:· I don’t know what this is/It’s not mine. While this may be true, there should still be some comment stating when the borrower became aware of the erroneous entry and what has been done since that time to remove or correct it. The b

Are you entrapped in the spiral of debt? Do you spend sleepless night because of debt stress?Well! You are not alone who is facing this kind of scenario. To keep pace with today’s expensive life; most of us fall into the trap of debt, sometimes even unknowingly. Most of the borrowers tend to think that this debt trap is the end of all financial roads. However, the reality is far from truth. Leading a debt free might seem impossible initially, but if you follow some simple steps, it is as easy as anything.Step 1: Think before you purchase a product. Ask yourself: Do I need this product? How important this product is for me? Try to avoid impulse buying.Step 2: Make a list of the things you want urgently and the things that you can do without. Make sure to precede all your expenses with a budget.Step 3: Pay all your bills on time. If you are facing any difficult in paying off the bills, talk to your lenders about it. Honesty always pays. Your lenders will understand your situation and will accordingly plan out a way that will be beneficial for both of you.Apart from following all these steps, you should also consider applying for a Debt Consolidation Loan. A Debt Consolidation Loan helps you to consolidate all your existing debts into a single loan. It is specifically designed to help you consolidate debts of various kinds, leaving you with a single low cost monthly payment.A Debt Consolid

With so much competition at Google Adwords how do you get a leg up on your competitors? The good news is that a lot of advertisers aren't using Adwords properly. You take advantage of this fact, to out perform them.The main criteria Google judges your campaign on is Quality Score. The purpose of this article is to teach you how to blow away your competitors, so we won't get into a lengthy discussion of how QS works, that would be a whole other article. I will tell you how to get a high QS and this will lead to a better campaign performance than most of your competitors are achieving.Google judges quality score by relevancy. Relevancy is the most important factor at Google. It really is the most important factor anywhere you advertise. Searchers want to find relevant information. Google takes this further by rewarding those who are highly relevant and penalising those who are not. They do this by setting a minimum bid. If you have a high QS your minimum bid is low. A low minimum bid means cheaper traffic.In turn a low QS means a high minimum bid which means costly traffic. Think of it this way. A lot of your competitors will have mediocre QS which means there site is only somewhat relevant and there traffic is costly. This means that they are spending quite a bit on traffic that is likely converting marginally due to the fact that they are not very relevant to the searchers.You have a high QS are extremely relevant and get a better deal on traffic. This means your ROI will be a lot hig

Fitnesscasting is the commercial application of podcasting for the personal fitness industry. Fitnesscasting is the distribution and publishing of audio and video feeds, that offer personal health and fitness training and information delivered over the Internet, for on demand listening.This is a new step in the evolution of on-demand health and fitness information delivery, making it accessible, informative, useful and appealing. This mix presents the health and fitness industry with a very unique opportunity to reach its audience through this new medium. Those individuals, who are already seeking health and fitness information actively, will use RSS subscription technology built into each podcast feed, to receive information immediately as it is updated by each organization. With one click of a button, a user can subscribe to a feed that may be interesting, and any related information that is ever updated to that feed will be automatically processed to their personal aggregator. An aggregator is able to subscribe to a feed, check for new content at user-determined intervals, and retrieve the content.To take this process one step further, podcasting publishes each feed with the capability to be transferred to any portable audio or video device. So with the growth of the ipod and all the other portable media devices, you have the ability to grab fitnesscasts and place them on your portable player for listening or viewing. Most users attach their portable players to their computers daily or w
Ever wonder how the homebuilder offers to make the buyer’s payment for a year? They use the seller contribution to make these payments out of escrow. If you buy a $300,000 home and the builder is allowed a 3% contribution or $9,000 and your payment is $1,500 per month, there are your six months in payments.
Sometimes seller-contributed closing costs can help the borrower get a better interest rate by buying it down, making the home easier to qualify for.
Ever wonder how a homebuilder can offer 4.750% interest rates when the market is at 6.000%?
They use seller contributions to buy down rate. Figure that every .250% of rate buy-down costs 1% in points or a loan discount fee. If the rate today is 6.000% and you want to buy it down to 4.750% that would cost 5 points in discount fees. You still have 1% left over for closing costs.
Are you offering these marketing possibilities to your clients? You need to get with your preferred lender to find out how you, too, can compete with the builders. Don’t just use seller contributions to cover closing costs. You too can offer a home with a rate in the high 4.000’s%.
Here is the catch: The amount of seller contribution cannot exceed the actual amount of closing costs and it CAN NEVER be given back as a cash incentive to the buyer.
This is where the dark side of my newsletter begins….
In the summer, I did a loan for Jerry and Lorraine buying their dream home of $850,000. The home had been on the market for around three months. They needed 100% financing and during the loan
