For many years there was a loophole: PayPal would let you withdraw USD funds directly into your Royal Bank USD Savings account. The reason was very simple: RBC offered a much better USD – CAD conversion rate over PayPal (Especially if you went into a major branch and told them you want to match a rate).
Royal Bank of Canada is the only Canadian bank that used to allow and still allows this loophole.
Is the loophole closed now? – Partially (2016-2017). PayPal is making things more complicated; PayPal wants to make more money from your account on that exchange rate. You will now need to use an extra step in order to link your PayPal USD account to your Canadian Bank USD account.

Here is the (WORKING) workaround that enables the good old Loophole:
Considering you already have a Canadian PayPal account and USD currency that you would like to withdraw.

• 1. Open up an RBC US savings / checking account and get your account number (7 digits but you will need all 12 digits): like 04000-4535352 = (040004535352)

• 2. Go to PayPal and click on add a bank (Profile > Profile and Settings > My money > Bank Accounts – Update).

Do not click on Add, it will not work (feel free to click and try and start dialing PayPal with keeping that page open).

• -Standard RBC US Routing number: 026004093 (one fits all solution)
• -Account number: 12 digits, get it through online banking as shown on the pic #1. (ex: 040004535352)

• 3. Call PayPal and ask to talk to a tech specialist as you have a tech problem with your bank account (or tech exchange rate specialist). A regular support rep will not be able to help, as they are trained to answer: ‘That cannot be done”…
• 4. Tell that tech specialist that you are trying to add an account for a better exchange rate option – tell them to enable it and with them on the phone click on that ADD button. It will work.
• 5. Once you get a confirmation – wait for micro deposits and verify the USD bank account. After – you will be able to withdraw USD cash into your RBC USD account. Please note that you should not try to use this link to deposit USD into your PayPal USD account (It should not work, it work only for withdrawals).

Since PayPal is trying to milk more out of every account these days – we suggest YOU to link such account asap, before they close it all together…

Advertising through Adwords is an extremely effective tool that can arrange a target audience and sales of your products or services almost instantly. Although, it`s not that easy. Adwords has a limited number of spots for PPC advertising in search engines and on collaborating websites as well. When we have dozens, sometimes hundreds of advertisers for one business niche, the auction gets overheated very often, and clicks reach to $20 and over for one visitor. With those prices advertising should be objectively aimed at your target audience, and clicks need to be of a maximum relevance. As a result, you`ll have high conversion from clicks and profitable sales of goods/services (ROI).

• 2. Have examples of successful PPC firms to follow, where context advertising brings benefit.
• 3. Be able to track aims and conversions through Google Analytics.
• Possess and use the instruments for competition analysis, for example semrush.com або ahrefs.com.

Magento can increase your income, though still requires technical expertise to make sure that your e-commerce solution is running properly and fast. Hire our specialists to make your Magento fly.
Apart from our MPI scan, our Magento experts in Canada can:

• tweak your Linux server;
• optimize your MySQL;
• optimize your Magento web server;
• tune your PHP-environment;
• provide useful recommendations and much more.
• Reverse proxying with Varnish or Nginx

When you running an e-commerce site like Magento it is really important to deliver contents to customers as fast as possible. For this, you can use a reverse proxy server between the Magento web server and your customers. The purpose of the Nginx and Varnish is to save the requests in the cache and send them back to your customers with minimum time. Our team can help tune both of the HTTP proxy servers in a proper way in order to optimize Magento Site Performance.

Nginx / FastCGI

The Nginx is a high-performance web server with the key features to build modern and efficient web infrastructure, outrunning Apache on memory usage. Besides, it is widely recommended for busy Magento apps. Our specialist can implement Nginx as a web server to speed up the Magento scripts even more. Apart from that, we can configure both FastCGI and PHP-FRPM.

VPS Templating

We offer our help to set up a reusable VPS image template which will be equipped with optimization tools to run Magneto at the highest speed (whether it has been pre-installed or installed on-the-fly). An extensive list of optimizations such as memcached, MySQL settings, Redis, PHP accelerator will be set up by default anytime you create a new customer server. TurnKey and Vagrant applications can be used for packing.

Magento code inspection

One of the problems which reduce the speed of your Magento server might be caused by specific code pieces (caching, loops, queries) requiring additional optimization. With a help of tools (such as New Relic and Zend Server Z-Ray) that perform close code investigation, these types of issues can be sorted out very easily. In addition, you will be offered an expert code analysis from our specialists.

MySQL server tuning

In case we find out that the database is a bottleneck, we can help you optimize MySQL for higher performance. For this, we will need to run down the current performance and tune the MySQL configuration, using different shell scripts. We can also help with a MySQL clustering implementation or with a setup of MySQL dedicated server.

Image optimization

When it comes to optimizing your product images, one of the best tools you can use is kraken.io. Nevertheless, this online service deprives you of an opportunity to optimize big amounts of images by flattering your directory- structure. The way our own Yireo Image Optimization API works is pretty much the same as kraken’s (it uses tools like pngcrush and OptiPng), however, it has no limitations of those services.

Redis or memcached implementation

Redis is a data structure server which allows you to move the Magento cache to the Redis database. It has been added to the Magento core since version 1.8 and proved useful in improving the speed of your server. As an alternative, you can apply memcached. Nevertheless, both solutions require the help of good specialists to make sure that everything is implemented safely and properly.

Magento full page caching

Full page cache (FPC) extensions for Magento such as ZoomFPC and Lesti FPS can significantly speed up page load time. If you need help with configuring these solutions, we are here to assist. Our task is to focus on specific configurations including search result pages and layered navigation.

PHP accelerators

PHP accelerators like Zend OPC and APC (both working flawlessly with Magento) can easily optimize PHP-execution. Hire our experts to determine which PHP-accelerator better fits your hosting environment.

Monitoring tools

You need to remember that Magento optimization is done at a certain period of time, while your hosting environment keeps changing constantly. Monitoring tools are important if you want to keep track of the visitor-peaks and to determine which optimization is the best over a longer period. We can help to install Nagios as well as other monitoring tools like NewRelic. As an option, you can also setup remote syslogging (for the UNIX logs to be duplicated to a remote Linux server).

Stress testing

If you roll out an e-commerce website in Magento, you might probably want to find out how robust it is and how much load it can bear. The thing is, Magento shops are usually optimized in accordance with regular traffic scenario. But what happens when a newsletter is sent out? The number of connections increases dramatically, leading to a downtime of your site. In some cases, it even breaks. We can help you out by performing benchmarks on your website as well as server to determine the way your site behaves under various stress levels. Besides, we can present a graph, displaying how the stress test reduced the speed of page load.

A small remark on our focus

Yireo is primarily aimed at building extension tools rather than focusing on custom work. Though, we are glad to help you out as well as give useful recommendations. Due to this fact, our custom work is usually small short-term projects that require a precise insight and formidable knowledge of our guru experts.

What to do if you got into yahoo’s, AOL’s or gmail’s spam folder? What if your IP was listed for spam? How to delist your blocked IP?

First of all, you must find out the reason why you are blocked. There are multiple reasons that we will discuss below. All of the indicators that your e-mailing IP address is banned are listed below (listed in reputable databases as spam generating IP).

Your IP could have been listed there years ago without any notice and some of your e-mails may be going to spam. It is possible that you have not spammed at all and were listed for reaching out through TCP/IP from your servers IP to some “virus infected and listed” website. Such one-time “ping” (connection) is currently a strong reason for you to be listed as “untrusted” or “spam generating IP”.

Such trusted databases share info between each other and if you were “listed” in one – others will list you as well based on “one” record.

Instructions on blocked IP delisting (unblocking IP):

• – Microsoft: alo, outlook, Hotmail – https://sender.office.com/

If that does not help or work, e-mail them directly: [email protected]

• – CBL | http://www.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?
• – McAfee RBL | Spamhaus | https://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/
  (Yahoo relies on the blacklist of Spamhaus)
• – Protected Sky RBL | http://bad.psky.me/check/
• – Senderbase | http://www.senderbase.org/lookup/
• – Symantec | http://ipremoval.sms.symantec.com/lookup/
• – Trendmicro | https://ers.trendmicro.com/reputations

Please note, that it is important for you to eliminate the cause that got your IP blacklisted in the first place. If it is a very old issue that you know of and you have fixed a lot with your e-mail campaigns – feel free to use it. If you have been blacklisted just recently – make sure to find the issue first and then use the above-shared technique.

One last thing: you can get blacklisted for having a malware on your server, for e-mailing, for reaching/pinging/parsing a hacked site (IP) or perhaps your IP was already blocked before you took over.

Thank you , please comment if you have any additional info that may be useful for others.

Hello,
Heads up: there is a scam going on around the web regarding an easy web design task. Below I will include 3 actual sample e-mails of what they approach you with.

Red Flags:

• -“Do you accept card payment?”
• -“I want the domain name – I don’t have a domain yet”
• -“I am hearing impaired”
• -“My credit card does not work fine with pay pal”
• -“I have a private project consultant”
• -“Use intuit quickbook”
• -“I will send you my credit card details for you to charge it”

When do they stumble:

• -Ask for Picture ID;
• -Ask for a personal meeting;
• -Ask for a wire transfer as payment meth;
• -They do not like (can’t use) PayPal as the payment meth;
• -They do not have a registered domain;

Below are 3 e-mail samples:

Can you handle that for me?

So here is an example site I want you to check out this site but i need something more perfect than this if its possible http://indocanadasalonandspa.com. The site would only be informational, so E-commerce functionality is not needed on this site, so I need you to give me an estimate based on the example site I gave you to check out,

So please send me an invoice through intuit quickbook.

So I can make the payment, $xxxx for the down payment and $xxxx for the consultant

Final though:

• – Someone has to alert “intuit quickbook” or the authorizing gateway
• – Looks like they will resell the design and obviously reverse the payment
• – Most likely the credit card info they are using is stoles (I had to say “most likely” right? lol)
• – They appear to contact you from another country to avoid the personal meeting
• – Scammer e-mails associate to obviously NO social background data

PS: If anyone reads this – feel free to comment with more “scam e-mail” samples to help others.

Thank you.
