Blog security is something that pretty much every blogger should be concerned with. WordPress has a number of plugins that you can use to combat hacking attempts, one of the plugins is called Limited Login Attempt plugin.
The plugin is designed to place a limit on how many times someone can attempt to login before it springs into action and prevents any more login attempts.
Some of the features of the plugin include:
- Limit the number of attempts when logging in.
- Limit the number of attempts to log in using cookies.
- Informs user about remaining retries.
- Will log the failed attempts.
- Option to have email notification sent to you.
This is what the login page will look like.

Have you ever tried to offer a policy on Twitter where you will follow everybody who follows you? Sounds like a great deal ,and when you see all those followers it makes you happy. But this does all come at a cost.
You see not only do you now have thousands of followers but you are also following thousands of people and it makes reading your time line absolutely impossible.
Maybe this does not bother you? Maybe you are more bothered by the fact that people are taking advantage of your kind offer and have now unfollowed you believing that you will not find this out.
I have come across five programs that have been designed to go through your lists and will unfollow everybody who is not following you.
1. DoYouFollow
Not only does this tool unfollow people who are not following you but it also have a nice tool you can schedule tweets to be posted at regular times.

2. JustUnfollow
As you can tell form the name it is a very basic unfollow tool. It lists the people who are not following you and you go through them and delete the ons you want to. Bit time consuming though.

3. Twitter Karma
This is one of the most popular. Not only does it unfollow those who are not following you but it also shows you a list of people you are not following, but who are following you, so you can follow them back if you wish.

4. TwitSpinner
They may not be the most popular but they offer the most tools. Not only do they offer the unfollow tool but they also offer a host of tools that can help you auto clean out your spam Direct Messages, randomly change your profile and background design and many more.

5. Untwitted
Again this is another very basic application that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Sponsored Tweets is without doubt the number one sponsored tweet network on the internet right now, and for those of you who are laughing and saying that Revtwt is bigger, you could not be more wrong if you tried.
The only thing that I disliked about Sponsored Tweets is that they had what I consider a rather high payout threshold of $50.00. Only the big guys would be able to request payout on a monthly basis and the smaller guys would only be able to request a payout once or twice a day.
I’m not too sure when it happened but they must have listened to the complaints because the payout threshold has been altered.
It still says $50 but you can now withdraw any amount under that now.
This sounds great but the downside is that they do now charge a $2 fee for any amount under $50. So my advice would be to wait until you have more than $20.00 before you decide whether to cash out of not.
