Bucking Stock Talk was the subject of a recent SiteLock Customer Review that has been making the rounds of SiteLock’s social media. The review tells why SiteLock is one of the main reasons for Bucking Stock Talk’s great ongoing success in gaining readers, subscribers and followers for its online editions.
In this day and age of technology, business runs on the internet and social media. The bucking bull industry is no exception. We can find out about whatever it is we want to know with a click of an arrow. Instant access to industry news, entry forms, product purchases, memberships, DNA registries, auctions… It’s all there on the network in the world of cyberspace.
But the world of cyberspace has its dark side too. With all the personal identity and financial information passing back and forth, there is the potential that criminals will try to hack into the system through malware and viruses.
It is true that not all malware and viruses steal information. Some of them simply create havoc on the infected websites and cause difficulties for their users until cleaned. But there are definitely those intended to steal from their victims. And often, those who have been victimized do not even know it’s happened until the damage is done.
My story was almost a non-story because, it seems, that when I initially launched Bucking Stock Talk, my web site became infected with malware. I was not aware of the problem until I realized that there were few visitors and no subscribers on my site. Googling Bucking Stock Talk, I found a warning in the heading of the listing that the web site was suspected of being infected with malware. No wonder no one wanted to visit!
Luckily for people like me who are less than knowledgeable about website invasion, there are experts out there to fix the problem and protect web site viewers and subscribers from harm. My web host put me in touch with SiteLock and my web pages have been clean ever since. What a relief to be able to assure my visitors and subscribers that they are safe on buckingstocktalk.com. And, for me, it was as easy as a phone call and the solution was reasonably priced.
For those of you who visit sites, especially visits involving personal information and/or monetary transactions, it is a good habit to check for the padlock symbol indicating a secure web site. And, if you have your own website, you might want to check into site security, if you haven’t already. Website invasions happen. But with protection from a quality service, regular scans will detect any infection and clean your site so you don’t have to worry.
My favorite pastime is to surf the internet for your bucking bull websites. I enjoy reading about the history of your programs, your family bios, the foundation sires, breeding cows, bucking stock for sale, brag pages… I like to get the full story of your bucking bull business. Unfortunately, I am finding fewer and fewer bucking bull sites. And I don’t get the same overall picture from your Facebook pages. Sometimes, I don’t even find contact information.
For those of you who have given up on your website, or have simply decided not to create one, you might want to reconsider. It’s a great way to put your program out to the industry at large. And it helps to grow the bucking bull business. With the affordable and easily accessible web protection available, security doesn’t have to be an issue. And there are free, easy-to-use themes to build your websites. (If I can do it, anybody can!) A good web hosting provider will guide you through the process.
As a bucking bull website junkie, I am hoping to see more of them out there. If you have a bucking bull website, give me a shout. I’d love to check it out. And I’ll even give you a plug on the front page!!!
