here are two causes I found in two different instances that seem to have solved the problem.

Case 1:
In case 1 i had to remove the configSections, httpModules, httpHandler nodes all together from the system.web node.

Case 2:
In case 2 i didnt have the configSections, httpModules, httpHandler nodes within the system.web node. However the defaultDocument within the system.webServer was causing the problem.
In this case i initially had it as
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<add value=”Default.aspx” />
<add value=”index.html” />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
Apparently the IIS 7 was throwing that error because IIS7 already had those defined for the website.
All i had to do is put a clear before adding any default document. I guess i could remove it all together as well.

RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS

DECLARE @Start INT
DECLARE @End INT
DECLARE @Length INT

SET @Start = CHARINDEX(‘<’,@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX(‘>’,@HTMLText,CHARINDEX(‘<’,@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End – @Start) + 1

WHILE @Start > 0 AND @End > 0 AND @Length > 0
BEGIN
SET @HTMLText = STUFF(@HTMLText,@Start,@Length,”)
SET @Start = CHARINDEX(‘<’,@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX(‘>’,@HTMLText,CHARINDEX(‘<’,@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End – @Start) + 1

RETURN LTRIM(RTRIM(@HTMLText))

END

Example Use:

Execute StripHtmlTags('my <b>html filled</b> string');

After that you need to verifty that new settings are working. This is how you do that:

bigInt -9223372036854775808 through 9223372036854775807 (8 bytes)
int -2147483648 through 2147483647 (4 bytes)
smallInt -32768 through 32767 (2 bytes)
tinyInt 0 through 255 (1 byte)

1. Login to your Developer Central.

Twitter gets the most out of this:

• Free news coverage from the rumor. This is a damn smart marketing trick. This “Rumor Game” worked pretty good getting Twitter a huge momentum.
• Solid income for Twitter if they partner with Google. Even if Twitter eventually gets no deal with Google their income would increase several times more then what they earn now, just from the huge number of new users they would be getting.

FaceBook had huge momentum last few years. People just loved it. Now with this Google Twitter Rumor Game Twitter can take away a big part of the spotlight. I would not even be surprised if Google and Twitter planned this whole thing against FaceBook.

Marketing Lesson For Us:

This is a very classic example how rumor can be utilized for marketing.

2008   $264.6 Million
2007   $239.1 Million
……….
2001   $18 Million

What a jump from 2001 to 2008.

The most common complaint of 2008 was non-delivery of promised merchandise, followed by auction fraud, credit card fraud and investment scams, according to the report.

Scammers in the United States comprised 66 percent of complaints referred to authorities, followed by Britain at 11 percent, Nigeria 7.5 percent, Canada 3 percent and China 1.6 percent. Within the United States, the bulk originated in California (16 percent), followed by New York and Florida.

This problem will become a serious issue in near future. Because of weak laws, or less application of laws online crime is a favorite to many. And this thing not gonna go down, with more money rolling in the internet worst to come yet. Authorities all over the world should start acting fast on this issue before it gets out of hand.

With the number of users growing for FireFox, there is another problem surfacing; attack.

When IE dominated more then 80% of the browser marketshare not much hackers care about FireFix, because there been less stake in it. Now that things are changing, hackers seem to be getting more and more interested in FireFox. Recently there was a unpatched flaw detected in  FireFox which is to be fixed next week. I guess in coming days FireFox would enjoy much more attacks.

Last two months incomes been down by 40%! One of the factors effected my income is change of hosting for my best earning site; it caused the site not working properly for about a month. Then bad economy added up.

How do you survive in bad economy? After giving some thought I went for the basics, cut down expenses. I minimized the marketing for sites that earn less. Then I have some employees I had to let go. Now I am earning close the expenses, although I am still covering some costs from my own pocket. Its time for duck now waiting to get things better.
