You accidentally permanently deleted a big folder or file in your pc  and now want to get it back but cant find it  because your pc said its permanently deleted.

If you got a problem with any of these situations below

“permanently deleted mp3 folder”

“Permenantely deleted Video or movie”

‘”how to undelete deleted file”

“recover deleted files”

Recover accidentally-deleted files

Then read below for some solutions.

Before  you try expensive  data recovery services ,giving this software one shot is probably worth it specially if you are on a budget

Well guess  what – it isn’t  permanently deleted !!

When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren’t immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table. If you manage to start an undelete process before Windows overwrites that part of hard disk with new files. You can set that flag back to "on" and get your file.

I recently had this situation  and immediately did a Google search  and found this software listed on a website.

How to get traffic to your blog accidentally

by 1 Comment

I was gob smacked, when i checked my blog traffic a couple of days ago. Apparently  someone  made a comment about cars on  this blog  and suddenly the rush of traffic started heading to my blog  towards this page that details fake Chinese cars replicated of word class cars.

291 Hits from one source in a day WOW

chinese car wash in india

chinese fake cars Vs real cars

I had to investigate where this traffic is coming from, i went to the blog .

I saw the title of the page

"Hello, I’m definitely not calling from India. Can I take control of your PC? ( here)

and went  WTF !! this page doesn’t seem relevant at all to cars or anything related

So i right clicked and viewed page source and there it was

Someone called Jgoat made a comment

When I pay for my Mercedes, I actually get a Mercedes. Pretty big difference.

Sure about that?

I had a look at the blog and  didn’t  think that this could be a high traffic blog , but if one small little  irrelevant comment could bring in such massive  traffic  to a website , i wonder how much traffic this website actually  gets? (surely would be heaps)

This is how  you do not get your traffic  accidentally, what you do is make innovative  and interesting posts like this  which people like to share and you automatically get traffic

So you interested in fake original  chinese cars ?? Smile
