I see you're working on the homepage right now?
-
He isn't working as fast as he can otherwise it would be done. Super easy to work on home.php....
-
Well, he works on my site and 19 others, so I suppose he'll work as fast as he can. He's adding new scripts and revamping my site, so when it's done, I'll let everyone know.
Jenny

Jennys is up and running, so please add me to the vote part if you would. How do I add a button to here for ppl to vote for my site as well?
The site is JennysClicks.com

Site added to the top10.
You should try and add alertpay as a processor.

Working on that. Nebraska has really strick laws regarding getting a drivers licence... I've been married twice, divorced once, widowed once and I have to prove all that. Waiting on my marriage certificate to arrive from Germany and another from Indiana, then my divorce papers to come from Texas and my first husbands death certificate to come from Indiana, then I can get a new drivers licence. At the moment, mine is expired so I can't use that and they won't verifiy me without proper id... so now we wait :). As soon as I get all that paper work though, I had planned on adding it.

i could of sworn it is pink ;) . nice site , looks some how like the x bloomingcash. keep up the good work
-
It's a purplish pink lol.... and Steve makes changes until I'm happy. Think we'll leave it like it is... use to be brown. Looked nice that way, but the template wouldn't work with the new scripts, so we changed it to pink :)
Hope you don't mind lol
Jenny
P.S. Thanks for the props :0
-
The site looks great! Just wondering though if your ads refresh every 24 hours? Mine haven't yet. Man some of those members have a vast amount of clicks. I suppose that is why I am asking.
Thanks
-
Wow...I actually like the site design...even though it is in pink. ;) Are those Affiliate numbers correct? That is great that you have so many ads on your site. Wishing you the best of luck in your endeavor: especially in getting your driver's license issue resolved.

I don't think they are refreshing every 24 hours and when I asked my programmer, he says it's working, so I don't know. Anyone know a fix for that?
And no, I don't think the clicks are right either... in my back office it says I clicked 58 ads today and on the main page it says over 100... so idk. I'm really new to all this and I'm trying to get it fixed. Just something else I gotta work on lol.
at the moment, we generally have between 10 to 30 sites a day in the paid to click section and another 10 to 30 ads in the paid to read section. Some days have been more and we are in the middle of a discount sale on all orders for the packages... so link counts will go up more than that.
Yeah, I love the pink... very pleasing to the eyes.
I'll let you all know when the stats thing is fixed... it's a script thing and well, Steve fixes those... he's the programmer for around 20 sites I believe in total... 4 like Jennys... so he's a busy beaver... I have written him though and asked him what he thinks we need to do to make it refresh every 24 hours and will let you all know when I know.
Jenny
-
You need to setup the cron jobs I think.
-
I'll tell steve tonight. Thanks for helping :D
We will get this done right lol.
Talk to you soon!

Ok..if they are not refreshing every day, then it sounds like it may be a cron problem. Crons are little "routines" that run specific events automatically for you. I too had a problem with this, and had to get some friends of mine to work on getting it fixed. Eventually, we had to move to a different host, because the previous host's cron set ups could never get resolved.
In the mean time, you should be able to run the crons manually on a daily basis. Just ask your programmer for the addy to run it...and save it to your desktop. Then every morning, or late at night...just click on that link, and it should work for you.

John, thank you so much. I will forward this to him and perhaps we can get issues resolved. Off to bed at the moment... will take care of this in the morning, first thing :)
Talk to you soon.

Hey Jenny:
I hope that your friend can get this taken care of. I know first hand how frustrating this can be for not only yourself, but for your members & advertisers as well. Just let me know how this goes for you.
Successfully Yours,

Cross our fingers and poke someone in the eye (wanted to say that all week lol)... but it's suppose to run tonight (the cron job). We wait for time now... hopefully it's fixed. We'll see.
I'll keep you updated :)
Blessed Be!
Jenny
-
Good Luck with your new site Jenny.
-
I never had a problem with Crons or anything. I just set up with SeamlessWebSolution.com, talked to Winter, and everything works perfect. Their hosting is intended specifically for PTCs, PTRs, and GPTs.
-
Actually, Steve just bought his own hosting company and we'll be moving soon. He started moving his sites last night and should have mine done by the end of next week. I will have twice the speed. And be able to handle whatever. The crons will work.
Problem was, the host we WERE using said they had not seen as many hits in over 3 years as we sent them in 2 months lol. We were over loading their system and they just couldn't handle us. We asked them to turn the crons on and they said that if they did that, we would crash them... so he bought his own server. So now I wait for him to move me. I'll let you'll know.

Good deal. I am glad that you are getting things worked out.

Site has been moved. Things are updating correct now. Stats on main page are true. Just wanted to update you all :)

Thanks Jen. Glad to hear that things are going well with the site.
John

This site seems to be extremely trustworthy!
-
Thank you for the props! I try to be trustworthy... can't look good in God's eyes if you aren't lol.
I'm not overly religious nor do I preach, but I do try to live my life as I am being judged every moment of it... so I try lol.
Not perfect, but I strive to be the best I possibly can.
I hope you enjoy your stay at JennysClicks.com.
Btw, here's an update :).
I was hacked last night. They caught they guy as we turned him in via his isp numbers... they found him in Texas. So yeah, things are getting put back up as he crashed a lot of the stuff on my site. Steve is working on putting things back up. Last back up was this morning I believe, so things should be really close if not where they are suppose to be... will take him a day or so to get it all in place, so please be patient. Lots of work to do you know?
Talk to you soon!

Why and How did some crash an Aurora? Not that I don't believe you, but a straight-hack of the script is impossible to my knowledge. The only way he could have done it is if he had your password or some inside knowledge OR if the server/DB you run is poorly protected OR if the script was INTENTIONALLY messed with before you got it (or after) to allow someone in.
What is your server specs? It should tell you in Cpanel (if you use cpanel)
-
Trust me, there's no God in PTC. Learn that fast.
-
omg... I'm so new to all this and well, I just moved my site. The guy who hacked my site was a website owner and well, I don't know. All I know is that I had people with balances of $2000 and $3000 in my site and well, that's someone messing with my stuff.
I can't even believe anyone would say I am dishonest.
I've been a clicker for 9 years and I'm just trying to learn how to be a website owner. You people are harsh. i am not dishonest. All I know is what I'm told by my programmer and then I pass that on.
Jenny
The admin at AngelPtc.info says she is hacked daily as well... so I don't know. She says she gets attacks daily though.
-
Ive recently got my hands on an old version Aurora Script, and there are quite a few bugs which would enable people to get balances that high. There are some old posts here about a way to get unlimited clicks on one link, and Twysted and CoinClicks both show methods of how to stop it. I dont know if it could be related.
-
You people are harsh. i am not dishonest.
I was just asking for specifics. I believe that someone did something to your site, I was just asking how. If you did know the specifics, it could be something that other aurora owners can learn from...maybe even prevent with some extra scripting.
I was asking to figure out what your server was like and etc so I can determine if it could happen to other sites too and not just an isolated incident.
-
To be honest, I know nothing about specs or whatever. Steve does all my programming for me. I just run the specials and such. If you have time, I could sit and chat with you on friday or saturday and we can check it out if you want to tell me what to look at or for.
I really appreciate that. It was just the whole don't trust ptc... that kinda blew my mind. If I wasn't so honest, I wouldn't be here talking to people and trying to make things right with my site.
Anyways.
Off to answer mail in my own forum now :)
Talk to you soon!

I don't think that was what he was trying to say. I think that he/she (sorry, I don't know) is just trying to get their brain around the problem, and understand what possibly could have gone wrong. It is more likely that someone with inside knowledge (coder or someone) could have given you a bad copy of the script...perhaps one with a "back door", so that they could mess with your site and or database; that for you to have personally done something wrong. This is a fear I have all the time. I just tightened up a loophole I accidentally found the other day with permissions. I too am not a coder, and have to put a lot of faith and trust on other people because of my lack of knowledge.
Unfortunately, if someone want's to do damage, they usually will find a way to do it. Be sure to do DAILY backups. In fact, if your site is getting a lot of traffic every day...you might want to back up the database a couple times a day...just to be safe. Also, I would recommend that you start to read up on MySQL & PHP....if for no other reason, than to get a basic familiarity with some of the syntax, and how it works. Also, if you don't already know, you should probably have a basic understanding of HTML. This is something that I know I can help in...so don't be afraid to ask me.

Basic html is something I'm very familiar with. I start classes in the fall on how to do all the other stuff, so I am willing to learn it, just have to wait for my classes to start lol.
And yeah, I don't know. Steve said he didn't have something in place and that's how they got in. He said that he put something else up (again, I really don't know what he's talking about half the time, I just nod and smile lol) that should prevent them from coming in. I don't know. I will be able to know more come this fall once I start taking programming classes. Plan to have full knowledge of everything before I open my second site. I really just had an opportunity to get a site for pretty cheap and jumped at the chance. I'm trying like hell to make everyone happy, and I'm finding out that just isn't going to happen lol. I will continue to try though :).
I don't know.
Thanks John for being so nice though. I appreciate it.

Your more than welcome Jenny. We are all here to learn from one another...and we can all find our own success: without having to step on others. I know that I don't have the only site (nor do I want to). And although I am quite fond of my site...I am about the members. I want my members to make money...and the only way that will happen...is by having accounts at multiple site.
Anyways...it will all come together for you. Although I truly believe that you should have at least some basic knowledge: I don't believe that it is 100% required. However, the more you know yourself...the quicker you can handle all of those "little fires" that seem to always crop up, when your tech support are not around. Of course, being a part of a community of like minded people, can also do you great...by networking, and getting information from others who share freely...so we can all be a success.
First a student...then a teacher. It is part of the "circle of life"...even here in the PTC world. What goes around...comes around.

Hi guys ;D
I'm new here but I wanted to let Jenny know that yes every PTC site receives tons of hack attempts daily (including AngelPTC.info) which is hosted with us. But the big difference totally depends on what programs, firewalls, and hack attempt/DDOS protection your server has installed on it. Be sure the level of security is almost ridiculous and you should be fine. :D PTC sites require SOOOO much more protection than your normal website so you need to be sure your server is set up to handle the amount of hack attempts you will receive on a daily basis.
Hope this helps with the security issues! ;D
-
The owner of AngelPtc.info talks highly of you winter. Nice to meet you finally :)
And thank you.
Steve put a bunch of things in place after both of our sites were hacked. It seems to be working. Hopefully lol.
Thank you for all your wonderful advice. It really does help :)

You are very welcome Jenny ;D & great to meet you too!
It can be tough starting a site and they do get hacked often so I figured a little advice couldn't hurt. You can also really protect your site by adding any of the IP addresses you receive in your hack attempt alert emails to your cPanel and block them there. Also you most times can forward them to your host and they're more than happy to add them to the firewall of their servers as well... so everyone is more protected! ;D If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask. John gave you very very good advice when he recommended keeping your own daily (even 2 times daily) backups of the site. Normally a host does this for you, but I've seen so many people lose sites because they assumed the backups were being taken care of but they weren't. You can never be too sure so excellent advice John. :)
Hiiiiiiii EEC ;D Yay my first post, hopefully many more to come. Anyone can feel free to PM or email me with hosting questions. I'd like to help here as much as I can. :)
