Build powerful Website Traffic by combining WordPress and Instagram in 2020 Latest Reporting Tips

A fashion website must be at the peak of events, always full of happening news, always updating, always getting new media added to the content, and colorful. That is how a fashion-related website must look like. And if yours is not that good, then consider it dead.

But...

this does not mean you can’t bring life to it or spice it up. You can work on the fashion-related website to spice it up and make it a great success by adding simple social media snippets and themes to it. 

The best can be done to a website when you have a Wordpress site. Arranging a Wordpress site is always at your discretion, and you do not have to care about contacting a coder or getting a web developer.

You can do all that on your own. And that is why when you want to tweak the feel of your fashion site, and also get it the best traffic, nothing works better than Wordpress. Find out how.



How to Integrate Your Social Media Accounts with WordPress
Build powerful Website Traffic by combining WordPress and Instagram

Themes in Wordpress 

Wordpress offers excellent themes, and many of the themes are social media integrated. The role of social media in online marketing SEO and traffic building is proven, and even a child knows how important social media sites are for promotion and branding of a website.

That is why Wordpress themes that integrate social media in them to show the button, snippet window, or part of the page with social posts acts lovely in making the website more friendly and fashionable. 

Instagram Wordpress themes 

Instagram can be embedded into a Wordpress site. And that is the beauty of the Instagram Wordpress themes. There are some Wordpress themes, which are social media friendly, and especially Instagram friendly. And the Instagram related themes are made to show the snippet of your Instagram account profile page, on the landing page of your Wordpress managed fashion website.

That is why users are coming to the landing page, will instantly see the Instagram account being shown on that page only, without interfering with or disturbing the other site contents. 

That is how the window is sized and fitted on to Wordpress. Hence using this theme makes sure that you can display your Instagram account updates, latest posts and pictures all on your Wordpress site, and direct through the fashion-related website. Now you will wonder, what is the use of showing your Instagram account activity and latest posts here on your site landing page. 

Why show Instagram on your website? 

Instagram is one of the most popular social media websites these days, and there are plenty of reasons for its popularity. The number of tags you may assign to the picture, the number of comments you may get on it, the followers you may get through lovely posts, the chats you may begin, how you may endorse your products through your Instagram profile bio section, and how you apply filters on your posts to make them even more attractive images, are all the features of Instagram. With so many features dedicated to image sharing, this social platform is one of the best places to be in these days. 

Almost all people of all ages from all parts of the world have an account on Instagram, and this high rate of usage is the reason that its popularity is making online marketers look for harnessing its social sharing power as much as possible. Sharing the Instagram account with full updates on your Wordpress website about fashion is just one such attempt and effort at increasing your visitors and followers and thus the future website traffic. 

How is Traffic Related to Instagram? 

You get more followers through your existing website and Instagram followers. Also, you get fresh followers directly from Instagram as you post the same content that you posted on-site on the social platform. With proper tagging and keyword usage, you can get people to click on the posts, read your links, and reach your website. 

Instagram basically can give you more traffic by making people more interested in your website through the tagged photos you share on the social site. The more people follow you on the account, the more chances you gain of getting the same people to visit your website by following the links on Instagram.

And once again, when someone reaches your Instagram account through your website, then also the person can get a good idea of how much followers you have on the social site. This will help them understand your already created brand image and site popularity as the entity. And this is where more followers may join you through their reference etc. 

Get more from Instagram 

Using Instagram, you may get more. You can get email subscribers, lead list, and exposure online on a good social site, branding, and much more. However, to get them all, you need plenty of followers on your Instagram account.

And you don’t get followers into a fresh account in one day just like that. For this, you will have to put effort, socialize online, make fresh connections, revert to followers, reply to page visits and comments, and at the same time use Instagram advertising agencies to increase more followers without spending a fortune. 

Get your fashion website to high ranks 

Traffic is brought through high rank in Google and other search engines. The other way also happens. High traffic makes the site reach up high in the ranking, and hence, if the site is already getting high traffic through social media sites, then the ranking will also eventually improve.

Finally 

High rank, high traffic, good site design, all can be achieved with merely using Wordpress as the CMS, and Instagram based themes on it.

What does a best blog niche mean to you?

You may think a blog niches is just a topic or category. Yes! That’s true but you have to think differently. And a niche can generate more income and traffic that will be the best blog niche.

But if they start their blog in wrong niche then you won’t able to make expected amount of money through those channels.

Let’s have a look! How a blogger can make money?
  • Ad Revenue
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • Sponsored Articles
  • Selling Online Courses

Food Bloggers makes more money from ads than any other niche.

How to narrow your Blog niche?

This is a common fact among novice blogger that if a blog niche can make huge revenue then this is the best blog niche.

I won’t disagree with it but if invest your time and effort then any niche can become profitable. But you have to focus on narrow niche instead of broad niche to get best result.

For Example:

“Healthcare” is a popular blog niche. And you want to write on health care related topics.

But you can’t cover by yourself to write all the ideas about “Healthcare” niche, because it is very broad niche. You have to narrow it by choosing sub-categories of your selected niche.

Suppose you intended to write about any sub-niche from below:
  • Health & Fitness for Busy People
  • Yoga related niche
  • Meditation
  • Overcoming adversity or illness 
  • Healthcare Dispensary
This means you have narrowed “Healthcare” niche by choosing sub-niche and you can easily target specific audience. Specific audience always searches specific topics and they prefer sub-niche.

Those who want to learn Yoga, they will visit Yoga related blog and if they satisfied with your content then they will become your loyal reader by subscribe.

In terms of Ad networks, it will show only Yoga related ads on your site, which will be more relevant and generate more revenue.

This is the way you can narrow down your niche and become success in blogging.

But if you write on broad niche then both visitors and ads network become confuse, because you have to stack too many ideas in one place, which may not relevant to different types of audience.

Where can you find a profitable blog niche?

Profitable blog niche can be isolated by proper keyword research and identifying latest trend. If you found your blog niche has a big market but less competitive then it will turn into a profitable niche.

Here are some tips for finding profitable Blog Writing Topics or niche:
  1. Do keywords research on keyword tools and select that has low competition?
  2. Select an interesting topic that can solve other’s problem, instead of boring topic with high competition.
  3. Pick a topic or niche that you have a passion for it.
  4. Never go with profitable high competitive topic ideas, because it can take a long time to rank your article on search engine.
  5. Before starting blog do market research and know about the latest trend to determine the profitability of your niche.
You will not become success in first time, so test your ideas for the first few months.

How do you choose a profitable niche?

There is not any specific rule and regulation to choose a profitable niche but you can come up by measuring the popularity of a niche. But it must be less competitive that can be identify by market research.

However you can choose a profitable niche on the based on following points:

1. Your Current Knowledge about the topic

Every person in this world born with some special ability and some are God gifted and some people acquire knowledge by hard work and effort.

So if you are confident enough in any specific idea then you should forward with it. The longevity of your blog depends on deep knowledge within your chosen niche.

Suppose you can write about different Money making ideas then you should focus on that specific topic.

There are many blogger who have passion in SEO topics writing, they always try to cope with latest search engine optimization techniques.

There are 2 best SEO blogs:

Neil Patel’s NeilPatel.com and Brian Dean’s backlinko.com

You will see most of their contents are written within 2000 to 8,000 words. This means they have insane knowledge on their niche.

So in which field you have adequate knowledge, you know very well.

This is better to dive into known niche rather practicing unknown. Remember that you are going to address yourself as an expert or master through your blog niche.

This means if you choose SEO niche then you must claim that you are expert on this field. If you don’t have enough confidence then your readers won’t accept your blog as credible source. But I am not telling you that you have to be master before start blogging.

2. Give priority on your Passion and Interest 

Passion and hobby can turn your blogging career success, because passion doesn’t makes men tired.

If you are passionate about writing then you can become a good writer in future, but initially you may have to struggle for certain period of time.

But if you feel writing is boring then you can’t utilize your knowledge on good writing. So give priority whatever you like to do.

A tech lover can become most influential tech writer on tech niche by hard work.

On the other hand, if you concentrate on blogger widget creation but you don’t have actual coding knowledge then you won’t feel interest to develop widget, which means you will lose your interest.

And ultimately you will give up.

So choose right niche where you are passionate about it. And enjoy whatever you are doing.

3. Does your niche can generate revenue?

Who don’t want to make money?

I believe, you won’t find any person in this world except mad.

Not everyone but most of the blogger do blogging only for generating income. This doesn’t mean that their expectations are wrong. But for making money misguiding people with wrong information is really bad.

Not all niches are profitable. But…

You can utilize your ideas by writing content within your niche and publish in your blog. For example:

“Personal finance”
is one of the most popular niches over the internet. But this is a broad niche based topic. Many people narrow their niche and later they struggle to come up with new topics.

You can write and share tons of insurance, debt and loan related topics with large audience. And you can target specific audience with these sub-niches.

Most of the Personal finance related topic writers become popular and successful within shortest period of time. Even many of them don’t have any previous experience. 
Pat Flynn’s smartpassiveincome.com started without any passive income knowledge but he is now very popular in this niche.

But right now this niche has higher competition. So you have to narrow your nice but not too much.

Nevertheless, this is not a good decision to divert into very narrow niche. You can target and write on 3 below sub-topic ideas of personal finance:
  1. Personal Finance for teens
  2. Wealth and Money
  3. Passive Income
If you choose only “Personal Finance for high school students” topic then your niche will be too narrow, so try to add some related ideas to write on your niche for years.

You can also extend your niche by adding “Insurance” and “Payday Load” topics.

This can make more space to write and elaborate your ideas.

4. Choose less competitive blogging niche

Today blogging on general topics become a biggest challenge.

There are billions of blog you will find, approximately over 42,000,000 WordPress blogs available online. And for every 7 readers 1 blog is allocated. During this tough condition this is very hard to engage your readers with your general blog.

Moreover, thousands of blogs are creating everyday and also stop blogging almost 80% after certain period of time.

The prime reason is, they can’t compete with existing bloggers. Beside of this, novice bloggers are often unable to grow their blog in their chosen niche.

To overcome from this situation you must do keyword research to discover most demanding but less competitive topic. When you do research keywords then keep in mind the three facets:
  1. Keyword competition
  2. Overall Search volume
  3. Latest trends
The easiest way to research keyword with Google Ads keyword Planner


Google Ads keyword Planner for keyword research

Finding accurate search volume with deep keyword competition will require a paid keyword research tool. You can use Ahrefs, SEMrush, Spyfu, Keyword Tool Pro, and KWFinder.

Analyze the trend of less growing niche and rapid growing niche.

discover the latest trend by using free Google Trend tool

Just write your desire keyword and search. You will see the most demanding latest trends.

After reviewing all kinds of possibility and potentiality choose the right niche. If you see a specific niche with huge competitors then it won’t better to choose.

5. Blogging Niche for specific Geographic Location (Geo-targeting)

Many novice blogger can become success by choosing inappropriate niche just by targeting audience from specific geographical locations.

In this case, sometime niche doesn’t work. But work best local trend only.

Suppose you are from Greece, Turkey or Russia then it’s better to write blog on Greek, Turkish or Russian language.

Native speaker will crave to read that blog.

Most of the non-English speakers don’t prefer to read blog in English language. Some statistical report had shown that local blog get better growth rate than international one.

In addition, you can grab huge social media fans and follower from specific geographic location.

Wrapping it up

I have discussed some logical ideas to choose the right niche for your blogging career. Different people start blogging for different reasons, but ultimately we all end up wanting to find ways to monetize our blog and generate income.

Having too broad niche doesn’t help to target audience. Similarly, having too narrow niche you’ll struggle to get topic ideas and enough traffic.

Perfect niche can help you to make a long term plan, build authority and grow your audience quickly.

Once you have found your desire niche then start blogging on it. If you have less idea on it then start reading other’s blog in same niche.

Another easiest way to know about profitable blog niche is to collect information from exiting blogger that how much they generate revenue from their blog and how much time and hard work they have to invest to make that amount of money?

If you have something to say you can share with us. And I hope that this article will able to guide you to choose right niche.

But before dive into knowledge graph let’s know about what exactly the content marketing is… 

What is content marketing? 

Content marketing is a type of promotional activities that involves the creating, publishing and sharing of online material for a targeted audience online. Such as: 
  • Blogs Posts
  • Videos
  • Social media posts 
  • E-book and 
  • Other visual materials 
Generally content marketing does not explicitly support a brand promotion but it encourage to stimulating interest in its products or services. 

1. Content diversity

Today, it’s not enough to produce only one type of content. If you want to grow your blog, you should diversify your content marketing strategy. 

To boost traffic, you may create the following types of visual elements: 
  • High-quality stock photo
  • Vector images 
  • Graphs 
  • Memes 
  • Infographics 
  • Videos
  • Interactive content (quizzes, calculators, etc.) 
Whether your blog is about culinary, modern art, or politics, it should contain not only articles but also engaging visual content. 

content marketing Memes


Memes can attract visitors easily and rather creating new memes you can use ready made memes from various websites like 
Don’t say that you can’t create visuals because you have neither skill nor experience in graphics design. 

Content marketing institute published an infographic that explaining the winning drive of content marketing. Let’s have a look and understand the sales process of a business: 

content marketing winning drive
Your excuses don’t work here. 

In 2019, you have free access to tools and services, which allows designing original content in a hassle-free way. 

If you are an absolute beginner and struggling to design eye-catchy images, then you can try to utilize online photo editing tools like: 
  • Canva
  • Fotojet and 
  • Other offline tools 
With the help of drag-and-drop features and ready-to-use layouts, you will be able to create outstanding infographics, blog post image and social media images literally in a few clicks. 

Additionally, you should start producing video contents, such as: 
  • Short explanatory videos 
  • Product reviews 
  • Unboxing videos and 
  • How-tos 
Those will help you to grab and retain the audience’s attention. 

2. Social media 

If you want to get more readers to your blog, you should share your content on social media. This is the best way to showcase your works to millions of people from all over the world. 

If you haven’t created accounts on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn yet, do it right now. 

Statista a statics portal released social traffic source for news websites and they have seen Facebook is the number one source of website traffic. 

Social_media_traffic from facebook

This means social media contributes significantly to drive traffic in your site. 

If you aim at taking your blog to the next level, you should try your best to create a share-worthy post. If a post goes viral, you will not only boost reach and engagement on social media but also increase traffic to your site. 

Keep in mind that… 

  • Short funny video clips 
  • Hilarious memes, and 
  • Informative infographics 

All of those have more chances to win the audience’s attention than articles. 

3. Personalization 

Modern users are picky. 

They don’t want to read blog posts related to general issues. They want to access content, which addresses their specific concerns. 

For instance, if you want to start a health and wellness blog, you shouldn’t explain to readers why the sport is good for health. 

It’s boring and useless topic to discuss. 

If you target teenagers, you may provide them with some tips on how to balance study and a healthy lifestyle. 

If your audience consists of young mothers, you may write about workout supplements and breastfeeding. 

The point is that different people have different needs and different question. As a blogger, you should define your blog niche and create high-quality personalized posts. 

4. Modern design 

Your blog should look catchy, stylish, and … modern. 

Unfortunately, some people, who do blogging for more than five years tend to forget that it’s necessary to update the blog’s design at least once in two years. 

In 2019, websites with out-of-date design will have no chances to survive. The experts say that competition is getting fierce, and only good-looking blogs will thrive. 

So if you want to increase traffic, you should not only produce high-quality content but also present it in the right way. You should choose a layout, which is elegant, memorable, and minimalistic. 

Also, you should make sure that the chosen design will look great on small screens. 

Recent research has shown that 51.3% of users surf the net using mobile devices. So you should put mobile users experience first and ensure that your blog posts are readable on tiny displays. 

5. Lead magnets 

If you have never used lead magnets before, it’s time to use them in 2020. 

Freebies will help you to grab the reader’s attention and set up a successful blog email subscription. 

If you offer a treasured piece of content, your readers will be ready to share their emails with you. Depending on the niche, in which you operate, you may create the following types of lead magnets: 
  • Checklists 
  • Cheat sheets 
  • Reports 
  • Guides 
  • Webinars 
  • Podcasts 
  • E-Books 
Using an email subscriber list, you will be able to inform your readers about new posts. It will allow you to retain your audience for the long term. 

All you need to do is to include links to the new posts in your email newsletters. 

6. Localization 

If you want to reach a global audience, you must localize your site. It’s important to make sure that local users are able to access content in their native languages. 

The point is that even if people speak English, they still prefer to read blogs in their local language. 
  • Firstly, it helps them to read texts faster. 
  • Secondly, it allows them to understand the message more accurately. 
So if you want to grow your blog in 2020, be ready to translate and localize core content to target languages. If you are not a polyglot, and if you need some help, check PickWriters. It’s a translation review website where you can choose localization services. 

7. Backlinks 

Finally, let’s talk about backlinks. 

If you want your blog site get to the top of Google search, you should gain as much quality backlinks as possible. 

Your primary task is to cooperate with bloggers and editors of reputable sources. You should convince them to publish your guest posts with a link to your blog. Also, you may negotiate the link bartering. 

However, you should worry not only about the backlinks quantity but also of their quality. 

You should regularly check the links with the help of tools like MonitorBacklinks and remove those links, which comes from irrelevant and unreliable sources. 

Wrapping it up 

Now you know which content marketing essentials you should use to grow your blog in 2020. Try to apply them in practice, and your efforts will bring great rewards. 

Be persistent, keep improving the quality of your posts, and you will become a very famous blogger in your niche.

The Insider Guide to Generate Your Blog Traffic by 110% in 2020 New Way To Improve Your Ranking


A beautiful blog without traffic is pointless for an author, while every blogger expect a minimum traffic towards their blog site. To generate traffic for your blog you must produce interesting contents that attract the visitors. 

We are ready to share our gathered knowledge about different traffic generation process for blog and website. Most of the blogger at the beginners’ lever wants to divert traffic into their new blog quickly and also search for these kinds of articles, tips and tricks. 

However after following some simple process we can divert more traffic into our blog and website within a shortest period of time. 

Actually there isn’t any legit evidence that we can divert traffic by following certain ways but we can adopt some techniques that is following most of the successful bloggers. 

There are many higher ranked blog getting lower traffic but a lower ranked or without ranked blog getting higher traffic. This is really ridicules but true.

How to Increase Blog Traffic in 2019
10 Killer Strategies to Win more Traffic for Your Blog

However I have identified some major ways to divert traffic into your website which worked for me and hope work for your blog too.

1. Quality Content Writing

It goes without say that Content is King. Writing higher quality and interesting content can bring big chunk of traffic. For this type of writing your idea should be fresh and unique.

You should focus on the latest issues of digital world and where your idea is less familiar to others. As well as, your article must be free of error and enrich with good English which is preferred by blog readers.

Try to produce blog article with diverse information and tailor your each article writings with minimum 1000 to 2000 words. Remember Google search engine don’t like articles with short information. 

2. Use Wikipedia and WOT

World class directory like Wikipedia often accept trusted information from reliable sources.

If you are a skill writer and confident enough about your writing capacity then submit it to Wikipedia for other and WOT (Website of Trust) where you will get quality readers from all over the world.

Remember that Wikipedia don’t accept any promotional materials, you should submit information about any specific topics.

It not only diverts some traffic but also increase your site value as well you can use it as reference in your CV and professional work.

3. Role of Social Media

You must believe on the power of social media, it plays a major part to divert maximum traffic to our blog and website.

Suppose, you are connected with 100 social media network and publishing your content regular basis. I believe at least 100 visitors will visit your site every week. And if each visitors visit minimum 5 pages in a single visit then your total page view will be 500 only from Social media network.

You can use some popular social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc. 

4. Follow Content writing style

If you write whole content within 1 or 2 paragraph it would be boring for your readers to read. So it would be wise decision to split your writings into several paragraph.

Also write your articles by using few bullet mark, numbering and quote etc. Write each article with minimum 4/5 paragraph and include over 1000 words.

Because pause between article readers feel comfortable to read that will generate engagement without writing for longer time, eventually readers will stay in your site longer time.

5. Promotional flyer and freebies

Promotion is necessary in all aspect but by a little bit tricky you can promote your blog with free of cost. Suppose, if you are good in Graphics designing then create some desktop wallpaper, printable blog planner, calendar and make it available for free download, this will increase returning visitors for your blog.

Importantly don’t forget to add your blog name and web address in your promotional materials and freebies. Create some dazzling high resolution infographics where visitor will download and retain for growing topic knowledge.

6. Regular Blog Updates

If you update your Blog by new articles regularly then your site rank will go up on search engine result page. But don’t compromise with quality because an inferior and copied post can destroy your rank completely.

Your blog may ban or penalize by Google algorithms like panda, penguin etc. So keep publishing unique 2 or more quality content per weekly.

Don’t panic about daily posting sometimes you can take day off and write in cool brain.

7. Use Blog Directories

There are many blog directories where you can submit your blog as well as your posts for directory members. So this is a great source to generate blog traffic. But remember that you need to submit your blog to relevant niche or directory.

Suppose your blog about Movie and Music but you are submitting your blog to a business directory then it will be pointless. No one will be interested to visit your blog from business directory.

The users of those directories are business organization only e.g. Dickeys bbq franchise, Dickeys barbecue pit franchise. Sometime the result may come with reverse outcome. So be aware about that. 

8. Use Yahoo! Answers and Google Product Forum

You can also divert traffic by solving other’s problem in various forums. The most popular forum is yahoo Answer  and Google product forum.

There are many people making query for various problems and you can answer those questions, as well as refer your blog post to solve the problems. After adding your blog URLs at the end of the answer many visitors will tend to visit your blog from there.

Few days ago I found a question in “Google Product Forum” that somebody accidentally deleted their Google verification code and now asking question about the Google verification code recovery procedure. I just simply answer the question and leave my blog link.

This work two ways, one you will get some traffic from the forum and also get a backlink from yahoo and Google forum. 

9. Create and upload Video Tutorial in video hosting sites

You can make some video tutorials and upload it in video hosting sites like YouTube, Daily motion, vimeo etc. There are billions of visitors come across those video hosting sites daily.

Video tutorials are more meaningful to the visitors. So it will divert good number of traffic towards your blog.

10. Develop Widget and Plugins

This will not always happen that readers will like to read your articles. And if you don’t update your blog regular basis then you won’t find any returning visitors.

Even search engine won’t crawl your site. So you can develop some unique widgets and plugins, which can be used in their blog. By making available the widgets and plugins for the potential users, you can attract them easily and turn them into returning visitors.

Keep consistency in posting Articles, Wedges, Plugins and various freebies to divert traffic in your blog site.

Finally there would be some other ways to divert traffic into your blog like 
  • Online promotion
  • Facebook ads
  • Guest article posting 
  • Sponsored Articles
  • Buying AdSpace of popular websites and blog.
I have discussed simple ways of traffic generation process. However, if you have any suggestion with more ways you can share with us by leaving a comment below.

I hope this article will help you to generate more traffic for your blog.

How To Protect Yourself From DNSChanger

DNS Changer

In July the Internet Systems Consortium will permanently shut down DNS servers deployed to serve as temporary surrogates for rogue DNS servers shut down as part of Operation Ghost Click, an FBI operation that brought down an Estonian hacker ring last year. If your PC is one of the more than 1 million computers infected that carry DNSChanger you might unknowingly be relying on one of the FBI's temporary servers to access the Internet, and if you don't eliminate DNSChanger from your PC before the FBI pulls the plug on its servers, you'll be left without Internet access. Read on to learn how to discover whether you're infected with DNSChanger, and what you can do to eliminate it from your system.

How to Tell Whether DNSChanger Has Infected Your PC

To figure out whether you've been infected with DNSChanger, just point your Web browser to one of the (admittedly amateur-looking) DNSChanger Check-Up websites that Internet security organizations maintain across the globe. The link above will take you to a DNS Changer Check-Up page in the United States that the DNS Changer Working Group maintains; if you live outside the United States, you can consult the FBI's list of DNSChanger Check-Up websites to find an appropriate service for your region.

Unfortunately, if your router is infected, those websites will think that your PC is infected, even though it may be clean; worse, if your ISP redirects DNS traffic, your PC may appear to be clean even though your DNS settings may have been maliciously altered. If you want to be certain that your PC is free of DNSChanger malware, you need to manually look up the IP addresses of the DNS servers that your PC contacts to resolve domain names when browsing the Web.

To look up which DNS servers your Windows 7 PC is using, open your Start menu and either run the Command Prompt application or type cmd in the Search field. Once you have a command prompt open, type ipconfig /allcompartments /all at the command line and press Enter. A big block of text should appear; scroll through it until you see a line that says 'DNS Servers', and copy down the string(s) of numbers that follow (there may be more than one string here, meaning that your PC accesses more than one DNS server).

It's even easier for Mac OS X users to determine the IP addresses of the DNS servers that their PC uses. Open the Apple menu (usually located in the upper-left corner of the screen) and select System Preferences. Next, click the Network icon to open your Network Settings menu; navigate to Advanced Settings, and copy down the string(s) of numbers listed in the DNS Server box.

DNS Changer

Once you know the IP addresses of the DNS servers that your PC is using, head over to the FBI DNSChanger website and enter those addresses into the search box. Press the big blue Check Your DNS button, and the FBI's software will tell you whether your PC is using rogue DNS servers to access the Internet.
What to Do If Your PC Is Infected by DNSChanger

If your PC is infected with DNSChanger, you'll have to do some intensive work to get rid of it. DNSChanger is a powerful rootkit that does more than just alter DNS settings; if you've been infected with DNSChanger, your safest course is to back up your important data, reformat your hard drive(s), and reinstall your operating system.

If you're leery of reformatting your entire PC, you can try rooting out the DNSChanger rootkit with a free rootkit removal utility such as Kaspersky Labs' TDSSKiller. As the name implies, Kaspersky released the program to help PC owners seek and destroy the TDSS rootkit malware, but it also detects and attempts to eliminate DNSChanger and many other forms of rootkits.

If the infected PC is on a network, you'll have to check every other PC on the network for signs of infection, and then check your router's settings to ensure that it isn't affected (DNSChanger is programmed to change router DNS settings automatically, using the default usernames and passwords of most modern routers). To do this, copy down your router's DNS server IP addresses (located in your router's settings menu) and check them against the FBI's IP address database mentioned above. If your router is infected, reset the router and confirm that all network settings are restored to the manufacturer's defaults.

When you're done, repeat the steps outlined above to verify that your PC is no longer infected with DNSChanger. With all traces of this vicious malware eliminated, you should have nothing to fear when the FBI shuts down the ISC's temporary DNS servers in July.

Speed your browser by changing your DNS

Most people use the default DNS settings provided by their ISP, and while they are usually sufficient for most purposes, there are plenty of free options out there, like OpenDNS and Google DNS. Namebench is a free app that checks to see whether your current settings are optimized and, if not, which free option is best for you. Here's how to use it:

Download and install Namebench.

Fire it up and choose your settings. Keep the top two boxes checked. If you're concerned about network censorship, check the third box, and if you want to help the developers, check the last box. You can tweak the rest if you're outside U.S. or want to experiment with different browsers.

NameBench Dns

Click Start Benchmark and wait while Namebench runs its tests. It should take several minutes. A browser tab should pop open when Namebench is done and give you a list of DNS servers and how much faster they are than the one you're currently using, unless yours are already the fastest possible.

Namebench does not change your settings, but it's generally pretty easy to do it yourself. Check with the instructions you got from your ISP to set up your modem and/or router and just substitute the DNS addresses you received from Namebench for the addresses given by your ISP. It's best to do this with your router, as it will assign that DNS address for all the devices attached to it.

That's it! This can dramatically improve your browsing speed, and it's fairly easy to work through.

Anonymous Launches a DDOS Attack on Internet's root DNS Server

Summary: The Anonymous hacktivist movement is planning to launch a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) on the Internet’s root DNS servers, using a Reflective DNS Amplification DDoS tool.

According to a note left by members of the Anonymous hacktivist movement on Pastebin.com, the group is planning to launch a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) on the Internet’s root DNS servers, using a Reflective DNS Amplification DDoS tool specifically created for ‘Operation Global Blackout’.

We have compiled a Reflective DNS Amplification DDoS tool to be used for this attack. It is based on AntiSec’s DHN, contains a few bug fix, a different dns list/target support and is a bit stripped down for speed.

The principle is simple; a flaw that uses forged UDP packets is to be used to trigger a rush of DNS queries all redirected and reflected to those 13 IPs. The flaw is as follow; since the UDP protocol allows it,we can change the source IP of the sender to our target, thus spoofing the source of the DNS query.The DNS server will then respond to that query by sending the answer to the spoofed IP. Since the answer is always bigger than the query, the DNS answers will then flood the target ip. It is called an amplified because we can use small packets to generate large traffic. It is called reflective because we will not send the queries to the root name servers,instead, we will use a list of known vulnerable DNS servers which will attack the root servers for us.

Since the attack will be using static IP addresses, it will not rely on name server resolution, thus enabling us to keep the attack up even while the Internet is down. The very fact that nobody will be able to make new requests to use the Internet will slow down those who will try to stop the attack. It may only lasts one hour, maybe more, maybe even a few days. No matter what, it will be global. It will be known.

Based on a message update issued by Anonymous, the group has said that it still has the capability to target the Root Internet Servers.

Despite the fact that current Internet infrastructure allows the execution of DNS amplification attacks, the Anonymous hacktivist movement is surely lacking the capabilities to execute such an attack, despite the high number of recruited users that may be participating in the attack.

For the time being, the Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) ICMP flooder, and the RefRef web script remain the primary attack tools used by the Anonymous hacktivist collective.
