It just makes me drive even harder." That's a great quote. I've been getting knocked around lately in a different manner and it's great to see something motivational like this. “Stuff like these doesn’t deter me. It just makes me drive even harder.”

As they say though, "You can't keep a good man down." Someone clicked on my Adsense ads excessively about a year ago and I noticed the huge increase in my earnings. After checking my stats and realizing I couldn't correlate those earnings with an increase in traffic, I immediately sent an email to the Adsense folks telling them that I suspected malicious activity. The problem was taken care of within hours and the Adsense rep on my case thanked me for contacting them. While it would have been nice to handle this with a phone call, the email worked fine as well. As an extra measure of prevention for wp hackers, Ben Yau has posted a quick htaccess adjustment that blocks the /wp-admin/ folder for unlisted ip's. Thought your readers would appreciate this. http://www.reubenyau.com/protecting-the-wordpress-wp-admin-folder/ Indeed that sucks John. As they say though, “You can’t keep a good man down.”
