It’s funny. Every day I receive emails asking me to confirm my paypal account, or to confirm an order, or to enter some paypal-related information and gives me a link. These are all scams, and I know this because my paypal account is linked to an email address that is completely different!
This is actually a tip I would like to give everyone. Even if you aren’t going to fall for the scam and enter your info, just clicking on the link and going to the site can install malicious software like DriveCleaner or Vundo Trojans. So link your paypal account to an email address that doesn’t appear on any website folks, and save yourself the trouble!
Pages that sold today
Even though its only 9:00 AM, the pages that sold today so far are English, Japanese, Phentermine, Tramadol, and Baby Boomer Generation.
The first two are languages. This is a no brainer. I’m sure the Spanish page, the French page, the Chinese page, and Italian page are going to go fast. None of these pages are purchased yet.
Phentermine and Tramadol are pharmaceuticals, and can be purchased on Million Dollar Wiki because they are not tradenames, but rather the technical drug name. The same person also tried to buy Viagra, which is trademarked and I thus I can’t sell it. People have tried to buy the Viagra page on about 15 different occasions now. I might have to do the same thing with that page that I did with the sex page. I’m sure many other drug names will sell. I’m sure the marijuana and cocaine page will go fast.
And finally, Baby Boomer Generation is a great purchase because this demographic has more discretionary income than any other demographic right now. Interestingly enough, the “Baby Boomers” page isn’t taken yet.
Page count 433
The page count is now up to 433, and I fully expect to break 500 with ease as the mainstream press starts hitting. I have confirmation that the article in the Willimantic Chronicle is coming out Saturday. That’s perfect. The weekend edition is just what I was hoping to be placed in, because this has the greatest readership.
Well, I’m in class right now, so I should probably be paying attention instead of blogging. Gotta go.

Hey funny you mention the papal thing, because I have gotten the same email, to the wrong PayPal primary email. Plus I think that you should update from time to time on how many RSS subscriptions you have.
Looks like 500 page mark is very close. I feel you should put some site statistics like sitemeter info or alexa on home page. That gives a good confidence for any one looking to buy a page.
Siva, Like the Money page?
Something similar. Even simple like “1000 people visited today, 15000 people visited this month so far” would be nice.
I agree, I think that it should be shown, a lot of people would like to see it. Plus the more that changes on the main page the better, kinda like gmail and storage space, or better yet the time/temperature sign at the bank, you dont think that there to inform people but rather to keep them looking at their bank and sign.
I also received one of those Paypal scam emails recently as well. What was funny was the fact that there were quite a few spelling and grammatical errors so it became blatantly obvious that it was fradulent. Definitely, some kind of site statistics would be nice to see!
I got number of paypal emails. I even got few emails as if they were sent by bank and asking me to validate my login info.
that’s the best paypal anti-scam tip I’ve read in ages. I linked my account to a different adress as well. it’s a lot safer this way, cause some of these scams look really official and might trick even an experienced user into some dumb decision.
