?Internet Business How To? Offers Free QR Code Guides and Beta Test for QR Code Generator Software
“Internet Business How To” Offers Free QR Code Guides and Beta Test for QR Code Generator Software
Tres Cantos, Madrid (PRWEB) November 30, 2011
“Internet Business How To”, an Internet Marketing company specialized on SEO, SEM, Google+ and Internet Marketing strategies and services, just released their new “Quick QR Code” Generator software and related video/text training series on QR Codes for Local and Small Businesses. During the pre-launch and beta test phase both products will be available for free.
One of the ways a small business can market itself better both offline and online is by using QR codes. Although, currently quite new to business owners and customers, QR Code usage has been rising and it’s wise for any small business owner to jump on board now before getting left behind by the competition.
What are QR Codes?
Quick response codes, commonly known as QR Codes are similar to the barcodes we find on physical products and buy at supermarkets, such as a box of cereal or bottle of shampoo. While regular barcodes are scanned by barcode readers at the till, QR Codes can be scanned by mobile phones and most importantly direct the person scanning to an offline or online destination.
For example, a mobile user can scan a QR Code and be directed to a phone number, a SMS, a website, an online video on YouTube, a social media page on Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare, an image on Flickr etc. QR Codes give both business owners and their customers a wide and exciting range of experiences than just a regular bar code.
Business owners are provided with creative and high conversion marketing strategies, while customers get quick and easy interaction with brands and businesses through the convenience of their mobile phone.
The first thing is to decide how QR Codes can fit into the existing marketing strategy and the best ways to integrate QR Codes into the specific of business marketing strategy. For example, a restaurant would have a more entertaining QR Code marketing campaign than a funeral parlor or a lawyer would.
One also needs to decide where to direct QR Code scanners in a manner that is appropriate to the specific business. So while a restaurant could direct customers to a coupon landing page, a lawyer would direct clients to his online resume or profile.
The final part is to place the QR Code in the most appropriate location that current and potential clients are most likely to notice it. This could be on newspapers, magazines, business cards, promotional material, storefront windows etc.
5 Common mistakes business owners make when using QR Codes and how to avoid them
1. Not having a clearly defined campaign strategy.
Often business owners will jump ahead of themselves, print a few QR Codes, stick them somewhere and hope something happens. Yet for QR Codes to be effective, they must be the end result of a well thought overall strategy that is based on plenty of market research.
2. Not testing QR Codes
A surprising mistake business owners make is not testing their codes. Although QR Codes are free to generate, media ads are paid for so if a code is faulty, one will have wasted a lot of money on the ads.
3. Not having mobile-friendly website or landing page.
It’s a shame to invest time and resources into a QR Code campaign yet not optimize the website for mobile users. If mobile customers land on a page that they have difficulty viewing, they will hit the cancel button and forget about the site.
4. Not implementing a tracking system
Most offline business owners are not used to tracking their marketing campaigns because most offline marketing methods cannot be tracked. However QR Codes are computer generated so they can be tracked. Without a tracking system, a business is unable to monitor which codes are working best and if they are achieving the desired campaign goals.
5. Using long urls
One of the mistakes business owners make when generating QR Codes is using long website address URLs. The result is that when someone scans the code, their mobile browser finds it difficult to open that address. The best way to handle long URLs is to use link shorteners like bit.ly or owl.ly.
These and other related topics are covered in the Video and text series “QR Codes for Local and Small Businesses”recently published by “Internet Business How To?”, an Internet Marketing company specialized on SEO, SEM, Google+ and Internet Marketing strategies and services.

PwrSmart Service Adds Apple OS X Support and Remote Wake for Securely Waking PCs Over the Internet
PwrSmart Service Adds Apple OS X Support and Remote Wake for Securely Waking PCs Over the Internet
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 08, 2011
New Boundary Technologies®, a 26-year pioneer in providing innovative software and service solutions, today announces the latest updates to its pioneering PC power management solution, PwrSmart® Service. With the addition of Apple® OS X (Macintosh) support and Remote Wake™ for securely waking PCs over the internet, PwrSmart Service gives customers complete control and flexibility in managing the power settings on their PCs.
“With the newest additions to PwrSmart Service, we’re making it easier than ever for organizations to move forward on implementing centralized PC power management,” says Tom Diamond, president at New Boundary Technologies. “Leaving PCs on 24 x 7 ‘just in case’ results in a lot of wasted energy and money. Remote Wake eliminates the need to leave them on. In addition, adding Mac support allows organizations to centrally manage the power settings on all of their computers.”
PwrSmart Service increases energy and cost savings with several new enhancements:
Embracing Macs and PCs
PwrSmart Service now supports the Apple OS X platform, making it possible to manage both Windows® and Mac computers in the same console. In addition to supporting the latest OS X release (Lion), PwrSmart Service also supports the two previous versions that are still widely in use (Leopard and Snow Leopard). Mac computers in PwrSmart Service benefit from all the same power scheme features as Windows computers: standard power options, alternate settings, scheduled events and software exclusions.
Allowing Remote Wake
Today’s workforce is mobile, dispersed and running on a flexible schedule. Workers’ office computers occasionally need to be available after hours and on weekends. Remote Wake gives PwrSmart Service customers the best of both worlds – the ability to power down systems when they’re not in use, and the flexibility to wake them remotely on demand. Administrators simply grant users secure access to Remote Wake for their own PCs. In addition, administrators use Remote Wake to securely wake any managed PC, eliminating the need to leave all systems powered on after hours. Combined with PwrSmart’s scheduled Stay Awake™ feature, Remote Wake gives administrators the ultimate flexibility for maintaining their systems, while still saving significant money and energy.
Discovering Energy Wasters
PwrSmart Service now includes the Energy Wasters report, which is designed to show which computers are not meeting the organization’s goal for time spent in a low power state. The Energy Wasters report gives PwrSmart administrators, analysts and managers the ability to quickly identify these computers and take any necessary corrective action.
Visit PwrSmart Service on the web to download an interactive demo or to start using PwrSmart Service free for 30 days.

PC Pandora Computer Monitoring Software Will Help Parents Keep Kids Safe From Internet Predators as They Head Back to School
PC Pandora Computer Monitoring Software Will Help Parents Keep Kids Safe From Internet Predators as They Head Back to School
Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) September 01, 2011
It is official: schools across the United States are back in session. Over the past month, retailers have slashed prices on new PCs in hopes of enticing parents to make a big purchase for the new school year. James Leasure, co-founder of Pandora Corp., is urging parents to protect those new machines with a proper monitoring tool. Right now until Labor Day, the company is offering their flagship computer monitoring software at 50-percent off and extending the free trial period of their subscription-based add-on LIVE! service as a back-to-school promotion.
“The computer has become a necessary tool for school,” says Leasure. “But parents must understand this very powerful technology they are placing in very young hands. It is essential to have tools in place that monitor how your child is utilizing their new connection to the world.”
Pandora Corp. is the maker of PC Pandora computer monitoring software. The program records all activity, both on and offline, through detailed screen captures and data logs. Parents are able to get full details on who their kids are talking to, how they are spending their time online, what programs they are using, what websites they are visiting, and much more. Rather than relying on programs that scan social network profiles and search only for select words and phrases, PC Pandora gives parents full knowledge of what their kids are doing so they can be absolutely certain they are safe.
PROTECTION FROM ANYWHERE
While PC Pandora’s built-in IRIS feature sends email updates and alerts on PC activity to busy parents at work, it’s the PC Pandora LIVE! service that really gives parents an edge. The subscription-based add-on lets parents view their child’s activity and make changes to parental controls from anywhere they can access the Internet, including most smartphones.
“The LIVE! service lets you view screenshots of recorded activity, something that is not featured in the IRIS updates,” says Leasure. “It also allows you to make changes to the parental controls. For example, if your child has found a new pornography website that slips through the filters you have set up, you will see them visiting the site and can make immediate changes to blacklist the site.”
BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPECIAL OFFER
As a special back-to-school promotion, Pandora Corp. is offering the PC Pandora software at 50% off the regularly discounted price, plus a free month of the PC Pandora LIVE! service.
“In this rough economy, we don’t want parents to forgo their child’s safety online because of family finance issues,” says Leasure. “We want to give parents the best tools available to keep their kids safe online, so we’re offering a huge discount on PC Pandora and extending the LIVE! service free trial period. It’s going to give parents a major jump on keeping up with the new computer and Internet activity that their kids are sure to dive into.”
Leasure says the PC Pandora computer monitoring software can be used to keep kids safe from one of the biggest threats they face online: Internet predators.
STOP INTERNET PREDATORS
Ask any officer of the law and they will tell you that Internet predators are real. Since school was last in session, the weekly Wednesday Internet predator series on Pandora’s Blog has relayed coverage of over 70 Internet predators caught, either busted in sting operations or discovered after their victims (or their families) came forward.
Says Leasure: “In just the last couple of months, we’ve seen a lot of guys get busted all over the country for attempting to lure minors for sex, including online sting operations in Florida, Alabama, Virginia and Pennsylvania. But there were also many cases of predators achieving their goals and having sex with kids as young as 13 and 14. These are facts and real cases; every parent should be aware of these horrifying realities.”
Monitoring software can play a huge role in preventing Internet predators from sparking a relationship with your kids. When a child has made a new “friend” online, parents are able to see first-hand how their children are interacting with them. If the friendship starts to turn into a relationship, parents will have the knowledge they need to sit down and talk to their kids and prevent disaster. In some situations, it may save a child’s life.
“Since PC Pandora records all communication, parents will have actual documents they can turn over to police to aid in an arrest,” explains Leasure. “In the event that a child has gone missing, a parent will have communication records and access to possible secret accounts their child had set up. This information could literally be a lifesaver if used to aid in the search of a missing child. You won’t need to wait for police to request records from social networking sites or Internet service providers while the trail goes cold; you’ll have everything you need right there.”
Leasure tells parents they must know who their kids are talking to online, and also, who is trying to talk to them: “The bottom line is these guys are real. They do exist. And they are trying to solicit young kids for sex. But as a parent, there are tools at your disposal that will help you make sure they don’t succeed in luring your child.”
For more information on how PC Pandora can help parents keep their kids safe from online predators, visit http://www.pcpandora.com. Parents can use the code HALFOFF at checkout to get PC Pandora at half price and get a free month of the LIVE! service. The promotion runs through Labor Day (September 5, 2011).
About PC Pandora: Pandora Corporation was formed with one goal – to help our customers monitor, control and protect their families and themselves online. First released in mid 2005, PC Pandora has been constantly upgraded to industry-leading specifications and has received accolades from users, reviewers and even school districts and law enforcement agencies, who use the program to help in the day-to-day supervision of the children and citizens they are charged with protecting. The company website devotes space to helping parents by providing them with 18 Tips to Safe Surfing and Pandora’s Blog, where current news in the world of online safety is discussed regularly. In addition, the Pandora Corp. has made the PD Pandora Internet Safety Symposium available to schools and law enforcement as a free resource for spreading internet safety awareness to parents. Over the past few years, PC Pandora has vaulted into a leadership position for parental control software by boasting a combination of features that are unparalleled in the monitoring industry. In 2010, Version 6.0 was released, again widening the spectrum of coverage and protection offered by the program. Concurrently released with 6.0, the web-based PC Pandora LIVE! service affords parents the ability to keep their kids safe from anywhere at anytime. PC Pandora is also now available through the Pandora Corp. store at Amazon.com.

Institutional Analyst Launches Internet Security Stock Review Website and Watch List
Institutional Analyst Launches Internet Security Stock Review Website and Watch List
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 20, 2011
Institutional Analyst Inc. (IA) launched another financial portal today, the Internet Security Stock Review, covering publicly traded companies involved in “internet security” and released a Watch List of Top Companies to follow. IA is an independent research firm founded in 1999, via the Internet Stock Review which now additionally provides coverage for companies in a number of distinct industries; including Airlines, Alternative Energy, Biotech, Internet, Entertainment, Restaurants, Special Situations and Private Equity.
The Watch List, was created as a starting point for investors who are interested in Internet Security related companies. Roland Rick Perry, editor added, “the list is not a buy list, but rather our universe of companies, whose technology or recent market performance we find compelling.”
“After adding VirnetX which traded from $ 6.50 to $ 41 and Vasco Data which traded from $ 4.60 to $ 14 to the Internet Stock Review Watch List during the past year and due to the severity of the recent pull-back, we felt it was warranted to create a site devoted specifically to the group.” Adding “Governments, corporations and individuals spent $ 16.5 billion last year alone on security software, according consulting firm Gartner, that when combined with the market weakness and ever increasing cyber-breaches, it in our opinion offers investors a rare, even generational opportunity.”
The impetus behind its issuance is to bring attention to the names and or to the existence of these companies (particularly those with no coverage on Wall Street) and then to have the investors themselves, do the due diligence necessary to decide on their own, if any of the companies warrant further study and/or investment.”
The website provides individual RSS news feeds for each company on the Watch List, as well all seventeen companies in its universe, enabling investors to easily follow the group with a single visit. Internet security and cyber crime Blogs are also included from leading sources such as Bank Info Security, Computer World, Sophos and McAfee and standalone reports from RSA and Commtouch.

With Internet Security Breaches Dominating Headlines, What Is The Future For VoIP? – BoltonSmith
With Internet Security Breaches Dominating Headlines, What Is The Future For VoIP? – BoltonSmith
Waterloo, Ontario (PRWEB) June 28, 2011
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) consists of voice traffic travelling across the internet. This could include anything from computer-to-computer calls to foundations for corporate private branch exchanges (PBX). Even if a VoIP system will only be used as an extension of copper (PSTN) network, there are a number of security issues that IT staff may need to address.
Here are some key factors users want to consider when using VoIP with a business:
Is someone able to listen in on your calls as they travel through the internet?
These packets travel along the internet, often unencrypted, to get from point A to point B. Because they travel along internet lines, rather than phone provider copper lines, they cost much less. However, in most cases this means they are also easier to intercept.
Some PBX and VoIP providers are focused on business class service, ensuring, amongst other things, that only the caller and the recipient hear the conversation.
To stay ahead of competition in a growing global economy, it can be devastating to have ideas, client information, or company information fall into the wrong hands. Corporate espionage agents are very aware of VoIP insecurities, making it one of the first places to focus on when seeking information from an organization.
Also, if sensitive information (a client’s legal or health information, for example) is obtained by an attack on inadequately secured IT infrastructure, including VoIP, a company could be held liable.
Are you paying long distance charges for someone else?
VoIP gateways operate on the internet as the intermediary between a desk phone and other VoIP gateways. This gateway, if not secured correctly, can be exploited to make long distance calls.
Often phone providers in other countries will hack into these gateways. Once successful they can send thousands of calls through them before IT staff are even aware of it.
There have been countless stories of businesses that have received 6-digit charges on their phone bills because their VoIP gateway was hacked.
In addition, a hacked gateway is not accepted as an excuse from paying these charges – businesses are liable for the phone bill.
Rogue Employees
If an employee with the right tools has access to the voice network, they may be able to proxy all of the calls in the network through their computer. This wouldn’t be apparent to the legitimate user and as a result the offender would be able to eavesdrop on any call in that office.
The intercepted call could yield sensitive client data or company information that the employee might release to the public, causing irreversible damage to an organization.
Organizations can have a security audit of a voice network with a number of IT experts to make sure they do not become a victim of VoIP security explosions.
Where does this leave VoIP?
There are a number of things organizations and businesses can do to ensure their VoIP traffic is secure. If set up correctly they can actually make VoIP traffic more secure than most cell phones or landline calls. Here are some things to discuss with IT staff when implementing a VoIP solution:
– VoIP is very easy to establish, however it is vitally important to do so properly. Make sure that the individual(s) who implemented your organization’s VoIP system are experts in the field. If not, it is a worthwhile investment to seek a consultant.
– Whenever possible, separate voice traffic from data traffic, whether digitally (VLAN) or by creating a physically separate infrastructure. In addition to protecting voice traffic, this will ensure that the systems do not interfere with each other. They can also use an access control list so that only voice devices are on the voice network.
– If you have a VoIP upstream provider, make sure IT are utilizing all of their encryption options. If they not sure how vulnerable you are, seek a consultant and/or have your IT team do a packet capture in front of the internet connection to see what can be intercepted.

Holiday Makers Turning to the Internet to Escape British Weather
Holiday Makers Turning to the Internet to Escape British Weather
(PRWEB) August 12, 2009
When the nation were confident there was going to be a warmer summer, holiday destinations such as Butlins and Haven reported record booking numbers, as holidaymakers strove to save money during the recession by staying in the UK. However, since the Met office’s admission that the summer will be wet, travel websites have noted a surge in searches for holidays abroad. Travel firm Lastminute.com said interest in “staycation” holidays in Britain had peaked in June, when searches on its website for UK destinations surpassed those for Spain.
“You can definitely tell the holiday season is here but the British Summer isn’t!,” states Ed Wilkinson, VoucherSeeker Director, “Where as recently we have had voucher codes for tents from Littlewoods and outdoor furniture from B&Q listed for those staying at home, we are now seeing more people searching on the site for holiday bargains from such companies as Thomson and Park Resorts for those wanting to get away. That’s not to stay that people are entirely focused on travel: Vodafone promotional codes and Currys discount codes continue to be popular”.
Vodafone’s promise of abolishing roaming charges this summer, together with their offer of giving a £50 lastminute.com voucher on all 18 month mobile phone contracts under £30 (Vodafone Passport) has ensured Vodafone remains popular on VoucherSeeker.
Established high street retailers are also seeing the benefit of summer spending. “We found Voucher Seeker extremely beneficial to our business- experiencing a conversion rate of nearly 10% in the period of activity with them.” Noted Kevin Barnes, Web Manager for BHS.
Top destinations sun worshippers are now escaping to are Turkey and Egypt. Holiday makers are choosing to take all inclusive holidays to avoid the higher cost of Europe, thanks to the weaker pound which has seen European destinations up to 30 per cent more expensive than previous years. To combat this, holidaymakers are looking to online deals sites such as VoucherSeeker to get discounts on their travel arrangements.
The quarterly e-Customer Service Index Survey (source: eDigitalResearch/IMRG) found that almost 90% of people perceive the internet to have the lowest prices, and that 60% said the current economic climate made it more likely that they would hunt for bargains. Money off discounts was by far the favourite type of offer, accounting for 60.4% of people, ahead of free delivery on 21.5%, two for one purchases (16.2%) and free gifts (1.8%).
Promotional code sites offer holidaymakers a range of discount vouchers for money off holidays. Whether users are booking a holiday from travel agents such as Thomson, deciding to book flights from Jet2 and Expedia, or looking for somewhere to rest their head at hotels such as Hilton, voucher code sites provide plenty of discount codes for money off, ensuring users make savings.
VoucherSeeker have included promotional codes for hotel chains such as Warner Leisure Hotels and MacDonald Hotels. Bargain hunters travelling further afield have searched for voucher codes from brands such as Skyparksecure and HolidayLettings.
Not only this, but holidaymakers can find discount vouchers for holiday essentials also. The cost of holidays can add up when the prices of clothing, footwear and even suitcases are included. Whether users want to buy sun creams, clothing and footwear or essentials, they are turning to VoucherSeeker for discounts.
Keeping the children entertained over summer, usually a daunting prospect striking fear into many parents hearts, has just become easier. Attractions such as Alton Towers and Legoland are offering vouchers for money off trips for the whole family.
On average, parents spend £5.3 billion on entertaining their children over the holidays. The cost of keeping boredom at bay continues to increase as parents spend an average of £500 on games, day trips and activities, not to mention £158 per child going on trips away from home, research by Sainsburys has found.
“I think people tend to assume that promotional code sites such as VoucherSeeker are only here to offer voucher codes on clothing, when really we offer activities for the whole family for less. Entertaining your children this summer shouldn’t cost a fortune if you know where to look.” Says Ed.
Whether people are planning a quick getaway to the sun, or simply to keep their children busy over the holidays, it seems that voucher code sites continue to provide Britons with the opportunity to save money.
