Article Body:
Ecommerce web site design can spell either success or doom for any business. In this internet age it is imperative to have an online site for advertising, selling or buying a product or service. There are numerous ecommerce websites doing business on the World Wide Web. Your website’s ecommerce design must be relevant to all the different elements needed for designing a good website.
If you want to add a personal touch to your site, you can design your own site. However you can also get professional help from the numerous website designing companies to get your online business site designed. Select a good web design company which has high credibility to design your ecommerce web site.
The purpose of any ecommerce site is to generate business for a product or to promote a service. Ecommerce web site designing is not an easy task and is not done overnight. There are some basic simple rules which you need to follow to make a good website. First of all ensure that your website is compatible to different types of browser and operating systems.
The purpose of an ecommerce site is to generate business leads, and if online surfers using different browsers and operating systems cannot even view your site properly, you will lose out on a significant number of prospective clients. Think about this aspect before you actually go about designing a website.
It is said that pictures have the ability to communicate messages which sometimes even words fail to say. Pictures have a very strong ability to portray strong emotions. Silence they say is sometimes stronger than words. Put up relevant pictures on your site to put forward an idea. Take care that you do not put up any irrelevant and outdated pictures on your website.
Color combination of a website is very important. Choose the color to be used in your ecommerce web site design only after a very careful consideration. Colors in an ecommerce site must not be garish and at the same time must not be too dull, so that it does not even invoke any response from visitors to your site. Choose a color pattern which is appealing to the eye, but at the same time refrain from going over the top.
The navigability and the functionality of ecommerce web site design are of big importance. Your site may be the best visually looking site ever made, but if it does not have proper functionality and navigability, no one is even going to give your site a second glance. No visitor is going to wait and search for information in your site if it is not properly navigable and functional.
Take care of the contents in your ecommerce web site design. Good and relevant content is a great means of bringing visitors to your site. Check out for yourself and see if the content in your site is relevant of not. Also see if all the links are properly placed or not and whether visitors are immediately transferred to the page that has the relevant information for their query.
Make your best effort in satisfying the visitor to your site. Consider yourself as a visitor to a site and think what all things you would want to see in a site. Users are the king in determining if a website will work or not. Take care of the user and try to satisfy his or her needs in your ecommerce web site design.

How Long Does It Take Your Site To Load on Dial Up?
How Long Does It Take Your Site To Load on Dial Up?

Summary:
Your site is getting traffic, but conversion rates are horrible. Everything seems to be working, so what’s wrong? Your site may simply be to slow.
Keywords:

Article Body:
Your site is getting traffic, but conversion rates are horrible. Everything seems to be working, so what’s wrong? Your site may simply be to slow.
Load Times – Are You Driving A Ferrari or Moped?
Give some thought to the sites you have visited of the past few weeks. Were you willing to wait 20 seconds for a site to load or did you hit the back button? Why would visitors to your site behave any differently? They won’t.
Webmasters, designers and site owners universally access the web through high-speed connections. Because of this, it is easy to forget roughly 40 percent of surfers use dial-up connections. While your site may appear to load quickly on your high-speed connection, have you tried loading it on a 56k connection? The results can be shocking.
Sites that appear to load quickly on a high-speed connection can take forever on 56k. It is not unheard of to find a “fast site” actually takes 30, 50 or 80 seconds to load on a 56k. Sometimes, the load time is so slow the browser will actually “time out” and fail to show anything. If your site has this problem, 40 percent of the hits are worthless. Worse, those frustrated surfers are unlikely to try to access your site in the future even if you fix the speed problems.
How fast should a page load on a 56k connection? As fast as possible, but no slower then 25 seconds. If you can get 56k load times below 10 seconds, you can turn a negative into a competitive advantage. Surfers come back to fast sites.
Determining Load Times
The best way to determine the load time for your site is to actually use a 56k connection. While this solution isn’t particularly technical, it will let you see exactly what your prospects are seeing when they visit the site. You will be able to see what loads quickly and what appears slowly. This should let you isolate particular elements in need of optimizing.
Server statistics can also provide you with evidence of slow load times. Are users spending a lot of time on entry pages, but not visiting internal pages? Either you have poor content or a loading problem.
Finally, you can also use diagnostic programs to test load times. Typically, the programs will kick out estimated load times for dial-up, DSL and T1 connections. Make sure you test your home page and internal pages. Diagnostic programs are excellent tools, but don’t get lazy. Make sure you physically watch your site load on a dial-up connection. The experience will prove invaluable to improving your site and conversion rates.
Improving Performance
The steps needed to improve the performance of your site often depend on the nature of the site. A database driven site will have different issue than a graphic intense site. There are, however, universal factors that can be checked:
1. Graphics: Typically, browsers have to make a connection for each image on a page. The more you have, the longer the load time. Limiting the number and size of graphics can help.
2. Tables: If you use tables, try to break them up into smaller modules. Large tables can negatively impact load times.
3. Multimedia: If it flashes, explodes, spins or blinks, consider ditching it. Yes, it looks great, but is it worth 40% of your audience?
4. Size: Scrutinize the size of your pages. The bigger the page, the slower the load times. It shouldn’t be a problem if the page is comprised of text, but large pages with lots of code will load slowly.
Cheer up if you have a speed problem! Yes, you’ve lost a lot of business, but now you can fix it. Most of your competitors will never figure it out. That puts you ahead of the game.

My name is Kevin and I'm 24 years old. This is the true story of how during the summer of 2001, I made $40,000 selling dropshipped goods on ebay only to lose it all and end up with $4,000 of debt. Read my cautionary tale to prevent yourself from making the same mistakes that I made.
I first found out about dropshipping back in June of 2001 a little after I started a not-so-profitable business on eBay selling cell phone accessories and such. I saw dropshipping as an all profit method of business. You don't pay for shipping. You don't pay for inventory. You basically just advertise the product on auction websites such as eBay, take orders, collect the money, and pay the set amount for each item to the dropshipper keeping the remaining amounts for yourself as profits. I now realize that it is only that easy when you're dealing with the right person.
I first started dropshipping with a guy named Chris. I was selling Nike Air Jordans on eBay. I saw that Jordans are real popular on eBay and people pay huge amounts for them. I've seen some pairs go for $1,000+. Chris only charged me $67 a pair. So, I basically just doubled the price and sold them on eBay for $134 a pair. I sold about 20 pairs of shoes within a week giving me a profit of $1,340. I suddenly became happy with the success I had because obtaining over $1,000 in a week at the age of 19 is pretty rare. So, I wanted to start putting up way more auctions so that I could make way more money. Unfortunately, this is when Chris became unreliable. He never returned any of my e-mails and never got back online. Plus, he only had shipped half of the 20 orders I had. So, I decided that I needed a replacement quick before I started to have some unhappy customers on my hands.
This now brought me to dropshipper #2. I talked to the guy about the situation and he said that he would be able to handle it. I paid him for the remaining 10 orders I had left and he shipped the shoes off to my customers. I respected the fact that he picked up right where my previous dropshipper had left off at and took care of business. So, I assumed that this guy was all about business and was a very reliable and legitimate dropshipper. So, I started to put up more buy it now auctions and these shoes were selling faster than I could put them up for auction. This is the unbelievable part. I had sold 250 pairs of shoes in a matter of 4 days. I collected over $40,000 in 4 days. That's $10,000 a day! This came as an amazement to me especially since I was only 19 at the time. I've made some people's yearly salaries in a matter of only 4 days. Little did I know though that I was in over my head. I got a little too greedy and started to splurge on money that wasn't even mine yet; buying clothes, shoes, and even put a $1,000 down payment on a new car. My dropshipper shipped my first 30 orders only to find out that he had shipped off nothing but all wrong sizes and wrong colors. So, I had a lot of complaining customers. Some even went straight to PayPal to complain causing PayPal to limit access to my account. So, now I had over $40,000 sitting in my PayPal account that I had absolutely no access to and over 200 orders that need to be shipped off. So, my only option was to refund everyone their money back to get my PayPal account back to regular standing, which brought me to my next dilemma...
I spent almost $4,000 of the $40,000 I thought would be mine to keep. So now, my Paypal balance was negative $4,000 and I needed to come up with that $4,000 quick before PayPal took legal action to get that money. I thought the only way to get me out of this mess was by the same way that got me into this mess. This is what brought me to dropshipper #3.
I stumbled upon a guy named Jarell. I found him through a legitimate business website so I decided to sell enough pairs of Jordans to make up the $4,000 and then I'd call it quits because this was too much for someone so young. Everything went smooth and I was able to make the $4,000 using my girlfriend's PayPal account. Unfortunately, PayPal then limited access to her account also finding out that she was linked to me. This then aggravated me because now I had 15 orders that I in no way could pay my supplier. If I had shipped to my customers it would bring more complaints and negative feedback which was very bad for business. That was then, this is now.
After reviewing my whole experience with dropshipping in hindsight, I realized all of the mistakes that I had made. For anyone who is looking into working with dropshippers, please pay close attention.
1. Before going into business with someone who is going to be dropshipping merchandise for you, be sure to get to know the person really well. Don't go by instinct. Have a few converstations with the person before you start anything. Collect all methods of contact of the dropshipper for emergency contact.
2. I suggest that you do not start off having the dropshipper ship the merchandise to your customers. Order some of the merchandise for yourself and examine it thoroughly before you go into business. I started to recieve e-mails from angry customers stating that the Jordans were of terrible quality when I was told by my dropshipper that they were of authentic quality.
3. Don't bite off more than you can chew. As stated previously, I sold 250 pairs of shoes in 4 days. Within those 4 days, I had to deal with about 600-700 e-mails which is almost impossible for only one person to deal with that also has school to worry about. Patience is the key to success.
These were a few of the mistakes that I made dealing with dropshipping. I had a price to pay for my mistakes. I owed $4,000 to PayPal and I had a $2,000 eBay bill that I ended up working during the summer to pay off. My purpose in writing this is for everyone considering going into business with a dropshipper to take precautions and use the tips I provided. I would also like to say that even though I had a bad experience dealing with dropshipping, that is not always the case. I know there are some people who have become successful and wealthy off of dropshipping.
Five years have passed since I began my journey in this industry. I finally did pay off all of my debts that summer and have made it my mission to educate and inform people of the scammers out there waiting to ambush the inexperienced and naive. I wrote this article because I don't want anyone else to go through the experience that I did. There were times where I felt hopeless and bitter for falling into a trap that left me feeling depressed. Needless to say, I have learned from my soul-crushing mistakes and now make a decent living selling on ebay.

Domain name registration is getting cheaper and cheaper and some registrar is offering at wholesale price of $6.50 or lower. Some registrar is selling at $15 or more. If you think it’s the same, think again.
Keywords:
web hosting, hostgator, domain name, hostgator domain
Article Body:
Same as you, I always search for cheaper domain name registration and try to do as much saving as I could. I search through the web, and found five to six domain registrars and compare each of them for the best deal and finally only sign up to them.
If you are a budget domain owner, go ahead and keep doing that. As I getting deeper into the fact behind domain registration, I start to realized that there is different between them. And now I will compare the features and then the price.
Domain name that is selling cheap usually are using single domain nameserver. Even they are giving you two nameserver for the domain. The primary nameserver and the secondary nameserver. And the two server are probably located in the same datacenter, and that’s it. Selling few hundreds domain name, and everyone is pointed to these two servers. Could you imagine the load when you are having 500,000 domain names on them?
When quality become the main concern, you will need to look for domain registration with multiple dns at different location. Yes, there is such solution. For example hostgator domain name is selling at $15 per year, and they are using multiple DNS servers group and redundantly located in few locations. http://www.hostgatorreview.org/hostgator/hostgator-domain/ . Its like having remote backup for your domain name as well.
When you are having redundant backup facilities like this one, your downtime will become minimum. And easily goes beyond industry standard. Now, think again when you look for $1 domain name.

For example hostgator domain name is selling at $15 per year, and they are using multiple DNS servers group and redundantly located in few locations. http://www.hostgatorreview.org/hostgator/hostgator-domain/ . Its like having remote backup for your domain name as well.
When you are having redundant backup facilities like this one, your downtime will become minimum. And easily goes beyond industry standard. Now, think again when you look for $1 domain name.

Historical Development of Electronic Commerce
Historical Development of Electronic Commerce

Summary:
The meaning of the term "electronic commerce" has changed over time.
Keywords:
ECommerce, advertising, marketing, online business, promotion
Article Body:
The meaning of the term "electronic commerce" has changed over time. Originally, "electronic commerce" meant the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically, usually using technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI, introduced in the late 1970s) to send commercial documents like purchase orders or invoices electronically.
Later it came to include activities more precisely termed "Web commerce" -- the purchase of goods and services over the World Wide Web via secure servers (note HTTPS, a special server protocol which encrypts confidential ordering data for customer protection) with e-shopping carts and with electronic pay services, like credit card payment authorizations.
When the Web first became well-known among the general public in 1994, many journalists and pundits forecast that e-commerce would soon become a major economic sector. However, it took about four years for security protocols (like HTTPS) to become sufficiently developed and widely deployed (during the browser wars of this period). Subsequently, between 1998 and 2000, a substantial number of businesses in the United States and Western Europe developed rudimentary Web sites.
Although a large number of "pure e-commerce" companies disappeared during the dot-com collapse in 2000 and 2001, many "brick-and-mortar" retailers recognized that such companies had identified valuable niche markets and began to add e-commerce capabilities to their Web sites. For example, after the collapse of online grocer Webvan, two traditional supermarket chains, Albertsons and Safeway, both started e-commerce subsidiaries through which consumers could order groceries online.
As of 2005, e-commerce has become well-established in major cities across much of North America, Western Europe, and certain East Asian countries like South Korea. However, e-commerce is still emerging slowly in some industrialized countries, and is practically nonexistent in many Third World countries.
Electronic commerce has unlimited potential for both developed and developing nations, offering lucrative profits in a highly unregulated environment.

This article illustrates how can a Adsense program utilize some of the effective strategies to maximize profit. It also touches on topics such as advertisement placement and keyword tool recommendation.
Keywords:
Adsene tips, earning with adsense, adsense program
Article Body:
Using Adsense to effectively monetize your website or blog requires a strategy, on your part. Unfortunately, money will not magically appear in your account overnight. However, with diligence and perseverance, you will soon begin to see a profit.
As you create the content for your Adsense sites, you need to keep close attention to the keywords used throughout the articles and pages. Not to be redundant, but keyword research and placement is the KEY to a successful Adsense campaign.
You will want to write content centered on words and phrases that individuals frequently search for. There are several great tools, both no-cost and fee based, which will greatly assist you with this research. One great example is the freekeywords.wordtracker.com.
It is also important to maintain and update your site frequently once it goes live. Never make the mistake of neglecting it for days at a time. Fresh content is what makes your visitors return again and again. Regular update also makes the search engine bots visit your site more often.
Even if you can only spare a couple of hours a week to do some Adsense tweaking, go for it and be persistent. This is much better than doing nothing at all. With any luck, you will be pleasantly surprised at what subtle changes can really help to accomplish.
You should seriously consider click-through tracking right from the beginning as well. This will enable you to focus more on pages that have a lower CTR, in order to improve your stats.
Adsense, itself, provides an excellent (no-cost) tracking system. You can track multiple sites very easily, on a site-by-site or page-by-page basis by using the channels appropriately.
Another very important Adsense strategy is proper ad unit placement. You would want to place the ads in the areas in which they will be the most noticeable. According to research, site visitors usually start scanning your pages at the top left. In addition, you should blend your advertisements with the rest of your content to maximize the revenue generated from this program.
One of the greatest things about the Adsense program is that it does not discriminate. You do not need to have a college degree or a great deal of cash to start making money with the program. Whether you are a lawyer, student, teenager, parent or doctor… with the right strategies and hard work, you can be successful with the Adsense Program.

Here comes Santa Claus…here comes Santa Clause… Yep, it’s almost that time again. As we head into September, every e-commerce site should be formulating a plan for the holiday season. Even the sites selling the, “I hate the holidays” t-shirts.
Prepare or Be Doomed
You may be thinking, “It is only September. I’ve got four months to get ready for the holidays in December.” Well, you’re wrong. Let’s consider a scenario.
First, the mad dash for purchasing holiday gifts starts early to mid-November depending on the popularity of the products on your site. The online holiday season is not in mid-December! If you agree with this position, your preparation time is already down to two months.
You’re probably thinking, “Two months? Shorter than I thought, but I still have plenty of time.” Sure you do.
If you think two months is plenty of time, ask yourself the following questions.
1. Is your product line currently updated?
2. Do you have sufficient inventory?
3. What’s your holiday sales slogan?
4. Will you be offering any specials or discounts?
5. If so, on what products?
6. Is your site updated with all products?
7. If you’ve moved up in the search engine rankings, is your site ready to receive more traffic or will it bog down?
8. Have you compiled a list of email addresses for people that bought from you last year?
9. Do you have your email material ready to send to them?
10. Did you make the changes to the site you wrote down from the last holiday shopping season? You know. The ones you swore would be done so the site would really hum next season? I’ll wait while you go dig through the notes crammed in your desk.
Obviously, there are many other questions that can be asked. The point of this article is you should be asking them NOW! You may find two months isn’t looking like nearly enough time.
Remember, prepare for the holidays and you will clean up. Procrastinate and you may be out of business.

Great Gifts: Wholesale Kitchen Wedding Presents
Great Gifts: Wholesale Kitchen Wedding Presents

Summary:
This article is about one of the most original wedding presents money can buy: wholesale kitchen presents, a great way of whishing the newlyweds good luck on their new life together.
Keywords:
wholesale, distributor, non-profit, liquidated merchandise, wholesale goods, merchandise, dollar store, household goods, clothing, consumer items
Article Body:
June marks the height of wedding season. The most popular wedding gifts make their home in the kitchen. Outfitting a fully functional kitchen is expensive. Calling on friends and family members to help stock it appears to simply be a rite of passage these days for engaged couples. Wedding gift registries have become the length of small novels for the largest of weddings!
Cynical though it may be, too many marriages end before all of the wedding gifts are even unwrapped! If your customers don't wish to spend big bucks for products on the registry at a house wares super store, offer them the wholesale alternative. Flatware, knives, gadgets, and small appliances are some of the most popular wedding gifts requested. Fortunately, all can be found at the best wholesale outlets.
Flatware
Chances are the silverware drawer for the bride and groom is a mixture of hodge-podge, cheaply made eating utensils. Some might even be, ahem, "souvenirs" from the college dining hall. Wholesale retailers can offer drastic discounts on sets of flatware. Major retail stores are constantly pulling older styles off the shelves for new models. Choose to stock common brand names like Hampton Forge that can be found at numerous retailers so gift recipients can finish the set.
Knives
To go along with the forks and spoons, a decent set of knives are a must! Unfortunately, retail prices on knife sets are more than a pretty penny. This kitchen staple is easily picked up on the wholesale side, and most wholesale knife sets include a variety of other kitchen tools. Look for wholesale sets that include measuring cups, serving spoons, spatulas, and peelers. Overstock specialty knives like a cheese knife, grapefruit knife, and an extra paring knife are also welcome additions to any kitchen.
As Seen On TV Gadgets
We've all heard the slogan "for only $19.95...," and strongly resisted the urge to pick up the phone. This isn't to say that all kitchen gadgets sold mainly through television infomercials are poor quality, or not handy for certain tasks. Like any retailer, television advertised gadgets have overstock and liquidation needs. Wholesale retailers can pick up famous As-Seen-On-TV gadgets like the Magic Bullet, at bargain prices. Plus, your customers looking for a unique wedding gift have found one, and chances are it won't be a duplicate on any master registry.
Small Appliances
Probably the greatest savings can be found in offering wholesale small kitchen appliances. First, there is a wide selection thanks to customer returns and factory refurbished units. Second, companies like to produce the same products in different color schemes and configurations each year, so there exists a healthy source of shelf-pulls. Kitchens soon to be cooking for two love small appliances like wholesale blenders, shelf-pulled coffee makers, and refurbished toaster ovens. Top brand names, such as Cuisinart, are always a great opportunity. The married couple will never know it was wholesale, not retail.
The most appealing aspect of wholesale kitchen wedding gifts is the infinite shelf life. A liquidated toaster oven can sit in a back stock room for over a year and still fully function right out of the box. Plus, customer returns are commonly a failure to match preexisting items, or the product was an unneeded gift. Therefore, unless it was due to malfunction, the customer return will be in the original packaging. In the event it was due to malfunction, a company refurbished product is rarely not distributed in new company packaging. Either way, this summer's tune of wedding bells could be a great opportunity to offer wholesale kitchen wedding gifts. Stock them soon though, because June is just around the corner.

Imagine a business that doesn’t require thousands of dollars in startup costs – no inventory, no rent, no franchise fees. Imagine a store with the potential to start earning money for you from day one, where you can sell anything under the sun without having to worry about stocking a single item. Imagine being able to run a store in your PJs without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. Imagining it? Here’s the reality. You can build an ecommerce storefront to cash in on the internet money making craze in just a few hours – but it takes planning, promotion and the sweat of your brow to make it into an ongoing source of internet income.
We’re in the second wave of an internet money explosion. Unlike the first, the one that made a few people who were in the right place at the right time very very wealthy, this one is open to anyone who has the right qualities. Those qualities are the same ones that made names like Sears & Roebuck household words – vision, persistence and good old-fashioned elbow grease.
The increasing ease of internet publishing has made it possible for anyone to have a fully functioning store online and in operation in less than an hour – and for less than $100. Storefront malls like Yahoo Small Business, CafePress and others let you get your own business started with full supports with just a few mouseclicks and a credit card number. But it takes far more than a ‘prime location’ to be successful as an internet merchant.
The dismal truth is that failure rate in ecommerce retail is even higher than in brick and mortar stores, even if the financial loss is generally far less. The very fact that you can start your own business for so little has turned starting your own business into an impulse decision. It’s far too easy to make a decision on the spur of the moment – and walk away when it doesn’t work out. There are things you can do to avoid becoming just one more internet money failure story. Here are five tips to help you make a success of your internet store.
Don’t Make An Impulse Decision
Don’t jump at the first ecommerce opportunity that you see. Before you make a decision, take the time to do some research and ask yourself some questions about what you want out of your business then evaluate the best business opportunities for you.
Know What You Want
Evaluate the amount of time you have to put into a startup business. How involved to you want to be? There are many different ways to cash in on internet money. It’s possible to buy into a complete setup with store, merchant account and fully stocked shelves where all you’ll have to do is promote your site. On the other hand, if you’d like to have more control, you can build a store from scratch right down to stocking the shelves.
Comparison Shop For the Best Business
You wouldn't buy a car without comparison shopping. Why buy a business that way? There are literally dozens of ways to cash in on the internet money boom. Do you want the jump-start that goes with name recognition and support from a parent company? Then a franchise business might be right for you. Do you want total control over what you sell and for how much? Then you'll want a business that lets you stock your own shelves. Are you creative and want to capitalize on your artistic abilities?

Imagine a business that doesn’t require thousands of dollars in startup costs – no inventory, no rent, no franchise fees. Imagine a store with the potential to start earning money for you from day one, where you can sell anything under the sun without having to worry about stocking a single item. Imagine being able to run a store in your PJs without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. Imagining it? Here’s the reality. You can build an ecommerce storefront to cash in on the internet money making craze in just a few hours – but it takes planning, promotion and the sweat of your brow to make it into an ongoing source of internet income.
We’re in the second wave of an internet money explosion. Unlike the first, the one that made a few people who were in the right place at the right time very very wealthy, this one is open to anyone who has the right qualities. Those qualities are the same ones that made names like Sears & Roebuck household words – vision, persistence and good old-fashioned elbow grease.
The increasing ease of internet publishing has made it possible for anyone to have a fully functioning store online and in operation in less than an hour – and for less than $100. Storefront malls like Yahoo Small Business, CafePress and others let you get your own business started with full supports with just a few mouseclicks and a credit card number. But it takes far more than a ‘prime location’ to be successful as an internet merchant.
The dismal truth is that failure rate in ecommerce retail is even higher than in brick and mortar stores, even if the financial loss is generally far less. The very fact that you can start your own business for so little has turned starting your own business into an impulse decision. It’s far too easy to make a decision on the spur of the moment – and walk away when it doesn’t work out. There are things you can do to avoid becoming just one more internet money failure story. Here are five tips to help you make a success of your internet store.
Don’t Make An Impulse Decision
Don’t jump at the first ecommerce opportunity that you see. Before you make a decision, take the time to do some research and ask yourself some questions about what you want out of your business then evaluate the best business opportunities for you.
Know What You Want
Evaluate the amount of time you have to put into a startup business. How involved to you want to be? There are many different ways to cash in on internet money. It’s possible to buy into a complete setup with store, merchant account and fully stocked shelves where all you’ll have to do is promote your site. On the other hand, if you’d like to have more control, you can build a store from scratch right down to stocking the shelves.
Comparison Shop For the Best Business
You wouldn't buy a car without comparison shopping. Why buy a business that way? There are literally dozens of ways to cash in on the internet money boom. Do you want the jump-start that goes with name recognition and support from a parent company? Then a franchise business might be right for you. Do you want total control over what you sell and for how much? Then you'll want a business that lets you stock your own shelves. Are you creative and want to capitalize on your artistic abilities? Look into a storefront to market your own work. The possibilities are endless. Your hardest job is finding one that suits your style best.
Pick Something You Love.

When you started your business, perhaps you thought it was enough to make your goods available to a few neighbors in the community, with no thought of ever applying for a Web hosting merchant account. Then you might have expanded the company’s range by advertising in the newspaper or on the radio to get the word out to those who did not drive by your company in a typical day’s time. But now you’re poised to enter the electronic age as your company moves into the e-commerce era. It’s time to put up a company Website for all the world to see.
But you may lack the skills and perhaps even the funds to design, set up, and maintain a professional Website via a Web hosting merchant account. Perhaps you don’t even know where to begin to find someone who can consult with you about what the site should look like and how it should operate. You can’t begin to understand how to process credit card payments or manage other electronic functions to better serve your customers. But rather than admit any of this, it may be you are sitting back, resting on the old ways of doing business, and watching your colleagues’ profits climb while yours hold even or occasionally droop.
If this scenario describes your operation, maybe it’s time to inquire about a Web hosting merchant account. A bank or another financial services provider can explain the terms and conditions of operating a merchant account. Once you find out if your company is eligible to apply, you can look for the lowest rates and best service before making application, taking care to avoid various setup and maintenance fees that can be calculated in addition to your monthly transaction costs. When your application for a merchant card is accepted, you can get help in locating a Website designer, one who will work with you to represent your company the way you want it to be. Then you can equip it with software that will let you accept customers’ credit card payments when they shop online so they can pay for their purchases immediately rather than mail a check. Your merchant services underwriter will arrange a gateway coordinator to funnel customers’ credit payments directly into your preferred checking account. All you will need to do is pay a monthly rate for each credit card transaction or a low overall percentage rate.
You can design a Website that will stand apart from the competitors’ sites. It could feature product descriptions, price lists, sale dates, FAQs, testimonials, and links to related sites if that will support your company goals. The site should be error-free, contain easy-to-read chunks of information, and not be littered with so much information that the customer will feel overwhelmed. You can arrange to add an email site in case visitors have questions or problems, and you can let them pay by credit card online, which is perhaps the most essential feature of all. Ask your banker for details about a Web hosting merchant account.

Or make a prank to people you don't like just to give them a real motive to dislike you even more.
Yeah, you will not be likeable more but you'll be know. Practical jokes and pranks are know to tide up relationships -they only destroy relationships with the people know for the lack in sense of humour.
But, if you could' t appreciate say a itching powder them why to be my friend? I don't enjoy people who can't laugh!
Just wonder if is worth to have a friend who will be angry with you just because you say "no" when you should said "yes"...a pitiful excuse to end a friendship!
So, people around the world, make pranks even you are the only to enjoy them...is better to have 1-2 friends, really friends, the kind who can laugh and enjoy a practical joke then to have a bunch of stuffy friends.
Your friends are not you bussines partener so you must enjoy their company, to laught with them - the general word is to have fun.
I recommend the fallowing jokes for greenhorns: hot tooth-picks, foaming sugar or Shocking Lighter. Choose a prank with attention, you don't ant to insult anyone just to have fun. My preffered prank: toilet monster. Your wife will never yell at you about leaving the seat up again! This toilet monster is shocking and funny! He attaches to the inside of the toilet bowl by suction cups. As the unsuspecting person goes to use the bathroom, they'll scream as they lift the lid and are greeted by the toilet monster!
I also like covert clicker who can control the TV anywhere, any time! This prank will make you laugh out loud just thinking about it. Close your eyes and picture a crowded sports bar on Super Bowl Sunday, or perhaps Game 7 of the World Series. Imagine all the fans draped in oversized sports jerseys clutching a beer and screaming at the TV. With seconds left on the clock - CLICK! - the TV channel changes to the Home and Garden Television network!
So, enjoy your friends, make pranks, be a child again and you will understand what you missed till now.

Participants of this online program can receive a free apple ipod of their choosing and a variety of consumer goods at reduced prices.
Keywords:
apple ipod, ipod touch, ipod nano, ipod classic, free apple ipod, free ipod, ipod promotion, special offer, special ipod deal,
Article Body:
On Monday, October 1st Freezone launches another promotion geared towards iPod Lovers – This site offers brand new Apple iPods to participants in its promotional program. It’s simple and easy. There are over 300 sponsors in the promotion ranging from free trials to online services. Sponsors even cover shipping and handling charges for the products.
This site is similar to those reviewed on CNN.com and Engadget except that instead of having to convince friends to join in order to get a free ipod, is completely a “do it yourself” promotion. Participants can do so at their leisure, returning at their own discretion. Because the offers are so accessible and common (unlike sites that make you sign up for more daunting tasks) participants have a much easier time completing the program quickly.
Participants can choose from between the iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and the new iPod Touch. At around $400.00 the iPod touch features a 8-16GB memory for storing videos, data, and of course, music. It has WiFi and music downloading capabilities, a large 3.5” diagonal screen to provide a much easier video viewing experience, and cutting edge interface. The iPod Nano features 4-8 GB of memory, and 2” (diagonal) color screen for viewing photos and videos. The iPod Classic towers over the others in memory with either 80 or160GB of storage making it practically an external hard drive. With a smaller screen around 2.5” (diagonal) it’s not quite the luxury mini movie player of its younger cousin the iPod Touch, but certainly a respectable multi-media playing machine.
Free Zone has not announced how long theipoddeal.com promotion will continue, however, with hundreds of sponsors “joining” in the program each month; it’s definitely a great way to get one of these in time for Christmas.

We’ve heard about the controversy surrounding Napster.com and the artists in the music industry who do not want their music downloaded for free. With all of the debates over downloading music for free off of the internet, it might interest you to know exactly what is going on in this arena.
On the original Napster site, people could upload whatever music they had and it share with each other for free, or download whatever music they wanted to add to their library for free. The musicians argued that not only was this process a copyright violation, but also that one of the reasons they are out there working so hard to make music for us, is to in turn, reap some monetary benefits from their efforts. The free music downloads that Napster was supplying in the past, were hindering the public from going out and purchasing CDs because they could get all of the music they wanted, for free, from the website.
Napster.com now offers a free seven-day trial if you register with them on their website. You can listen to as much music as you want during that time, for free, however you can no longer download the songs you want unless you pay for them. After the seven-day trial period is up, it costs between $9.95 and $14.95 per month to be able to utilize their download service. There is no contract to sign, its all on a month-to-month basis, and they also offer discounts for multiple downloads. That price seems pretty reasonable if you think about how much it costs to buy one CD.
Of course, many people are still actively downloading music for free off of the internet. There are quite a few free music download services out there, but you have to be careful. The music downloads might be free, but they are not always legal. Additionally, if you install the downloading software onto your computer, you are running the risk of letting in a ton of spyware, adware and even viruses, which can be harmful to your operating system and in some situations, cause irreversible damage to your computer.
Downloading music, free or otherwise, off of the internet is a convenient and easy way to build your song library. But even though we all want to enjoy our favorite music, whatever genre it may be, its better to be informed and know of the facts before you download in order protect yourself and your computer.

Fraud Protection on the Short term
The bad guys that have this debit card data are not going to attack online merchants for goods that they will have to convert to cash. They have been walking straight to the ATMs for the green dollar.
The impact on merchants in the CNP world will be minimal; certainly no more than a few numbers of credit cards but probably less. I do not think the CP merchants will feel it much either. Consumers, on the other hand, are going to take a huge hit. As you probably know, credit card holder's liability is limited to $50 under FTC regulations but I do not think there is any such limit for debit cards. The card holder is responsible for keeping the PIN private and shame on him if it gets out and he does not report the card stolen.
And yes the banks will almost certainly do what they can to keep their card holding customers happy, particularly if the cleaned out account can be traced to a compromised PIN by whoever it shakes out is accountable. Will that responsibility always be traceable? I do not know. But even if the banks in the end cover those losses, the cardholder has to deal with his account being cleaned out and all that goes with it.
Fraud Protection on the long term
The big concern for the merchant, on line and off, is if the consumer confidence disappear. We already have confirmation that confidence in online transactions has been falling a bit. This first debit/PIN compromise by itself is survivable, but if it turns out that it was not a one-time thing and we have all of a sudden discovered that PIN transactions are not as safe as we thought. Well, then on line merchants are in trouble and brick & mortar could be in trouble as well.
And I wonder how long the banks are able to calm down their debit card holders. When will they begin to pass the losses to the cardholders like they already pass them on to the online merchants now? It could become a matter of continued existence.

Article Body:
The position of Jersey (Channel Islands) as an ecommerce hub is becoming increasingly more contentious as the major online stores such as Tesco, WHSmith and MVC switch their fulfilment services to the Island to take advantage of its VAT free status.
But now local retailers are fighting back and lobbying hard for things to change. Marcus Quinn from is an example of a local success story that is flourishing despite the competition, but his view of the business practices employed by Tesco and friends is scathing.
“They have no business being over here. They provide nothing to the local economy. They pay no tax and employ no local people. They are essentially parasites.”
Quinn, whose company employs around 15 local staff, sees the UK operations operating from Jersey as being involved in nothing more than an elaborate tax dodge.
“Employing local people is expensive and hiring premises even more so in Jersey. We are a beautiful Island with a high standard of living and wages and rent costs reflect this. But the UK shops simply keep a token presence in the Island to avoid tax. They have none of these extra costs”
However despite the disadvantages some local companies do succeed. Play.com is the largest etailer in Europe and is a locally owned business. Similarly http://www.foxy.co.uk/ has enjoyed significant growth and continues to do grow rapidly.
“We believe that it is customer service that sets companies apart” said Quinn. “We know that no people are more friendly and helpful than Jersey people and we ensure that we only hire top class staff. This way we have the edge over the supermarkets. We provide something that they can or will not and that gives us a competitive edge”

Finding Your Ecommerce Cranny
When we talk about a nook, we are simply identified a very focused area of business. There are a zillion sites selling movies, but very few selling French movies from the 1960s. If there is sufficient interest in such movies, you could build a business around selling such classic movies. This concept applies to any business area regardless of whether you are selling products or offering services.
You need to do some daydreaming. Most people make the mistake of focusing on a subject that they think will make a ton of money. Problems can occur with this approach because if you have no inherent interest in the area besides money, you will eventually grow disillusioned with it. If you are going to start a business, you want it be enjoyable. If it is just another job, you have made a bad mistake. This brings us back to daydreaming.
You need to give serious thought to your interests, and not just your interests today. What have you always been interested in? Don’t worry about how you will make money, just focus on the subject matter. Remember the cliché – find something you love and the money will follow. This is exactly what you want to do. Once you have an idea, it is time to figure out how to make money off of it.
For a web business, you want to focus on something known as keyword research. Keyword research is crucial because you can type in a phrase and see the exact phrases people have used to search on Google, Yahoo and MSN that incorporate the world. Even better, you can see how many people use the phrase each day. Doing keyword research lets you determine if there is enough interest in your area and the exact phrases your prospects are using to find things in the area. It doesn’t get much better than that!
There are a variety of tools you can use. Overture offers a free tool that will give you a general idea, but is not the most accurate. Wordtracker is much better, but will set you back a few bucks. Keyword Discovery is similar, but runs a few more dollars yet. Regardless of your choice, make sure to use one of these for keyword research.
Once you identify the phrases used by your prospects, you can determine if there is enough interest in your nook. You can also identify the exact phrases they are using and tailor your site and marketing to those phrases.

Bluetooth does not describe a dental condition in which a patient has blue teeth. The term “Bluetooth” signifies a special new technology, a technology of the 21st Century. The devices with Bluetooth technology allow the user of such devices to conduct 2-way transmissions over short distances. Usually the distance between the communicating Bluetooth devices runs no more than 150 feet. . The individual who has access to two or more devices with Bluetooth technology has the ability to carryout such short-range communications.
One big advantage to having access to some of the devices with the Bluetooth technology is the opportunity one gains to conduct a “conversation” between mobile and stationary technological items. The Bluetooth car kit underlines the plus side of having access to the Bluetooth technology. The Bluetooth car kit sets the stage for a “conversation” between a mobile and a stationary electrical gadget.
For example, the Bluetooth car kit permits a cell phone in the garage to communicate with a home computer. Thanks to Bluetooth, a car driver with a cell phone could sit inside a car and send a message to a home computer. By the same token, Bluetooth technology could allow a car to send a message to a personal computer. Such a message could inform a car owner that the motor vehicle sitting in the garage needed an oil change, rotation of the tires or some other routine procedure.
Not all of modern automobiles come equipped with Bluetooth technology. So far only Acura, BMW, Toyota Prius and Lexus have chosen to provide the consumer with this special feature. In order for the car owner to benefit from the potential of Bluetooth technology in a motor vehicle, all of the devices with that technology must use the same type of profile.
For example, if a car audio system contains devices with the Bluetooth technology, then any of the communications that take place between those devices require Bluetooth equipment that uses the same profile. Such restrictions typically specify that the Bluetooth car kit will work only if all of the inter-device communicating involves equipment that operates under the hands-free profile. In other words, a Bluetooth car kit would not be expected to allow a cell phone with a headset profile to communicate with a computer that had a dial-up networking profile.
Of course Bluetooth technology is not confined to the automobile. It has also been responsible for allowing young teens to listen to music from an iPod, while at the same time being equipped and ready to handle any number of cell phone calls. On other occasions those same teens might choose to use the Bluetooth technology to send selected images from a digital camera to a home computer.
The Bluetooth technology has demonstrated the ability to lay the groundwork for creation of a mobile entertainment system. It could also facilitate the quick assembly of an operating and mobile office space. The father of the young teen who was listening to a iPod could very-well be the traveling business man at the airport, the man who must wait for a delayed flight. Access to the Bluetooth technology would give such a man the ability to set-up a temporary “office” in the airport terminal.
Once that same traveling businessman had reached his destination, and once he had settled in a motel room, then he might use the Bluetooth technology to send signals from a laptop computer to a printer server. Both younger and older adults have demonstrated that Bluetooth technology is definitely a technology of the 21st Century. Who could guess that the Bluetooth technology got its name from King Harold, “Bluetooth,” of Denmark, who lived back in the 10th Century? King Harold sought to unite the countries of Scandinavia, much as the Bluetooth technology helps the different types of informational devices to work in unison.

Of course Bluetooth technology is not confined to the automobile. It has also been responsible for allowing young teens to listen to music from an iPod, while at the same time being equipped and ready to handle any number of cell phone calls. On other occasions those same teens might choose to use the Bluetooth technology to send selected images from a digital camera to a home computer.
The Bluetooth technology has demonstrated the ability to lay the groundwork for creation of a mobile entertainment system. It could also facilitate the quick assembly of an operating and mobile office space. The father of the young teen who was listening to a iPod could very-well be the traveling business man at the airport, the man who must wait for a delayed flight. Access to the Bluetooth technology would give such a man the ability to set-up a temporary “office” in the airport terminal.
Once that same traveling businessman had reached his destination, and once he had settled in a motel room, then he might use the Bluetooth technology to send signals from a laptop computer to a printer server. Both younger and older adults have demonstrated that Bluetooth technology is definitely a technology of the 21st Century. Who could guess that the Bluetooth technology got its name from King Harold, “Bluetooth,” of Denmark, who lived back in the 10th Century? King Harold sought to unite the countries of Scandinavia, much as the Bluetooth technology helps the different types of informational devices to work in unison.

SEO, SEM, internet marketing, online marketing, web marketing
Article Body:
With the huge number of websites that are entering the battlefield, it is difficult to play the number game, that of page ranking. It takes a huge amount of effort and new ideas based on the constantly changing scenario, to win the battle of the ranks.
Search engines index millions of pages for particular keywords and your website could be anywhere in the 10th or 20th page, if not optimized for relevant keywords.
What is expert search engine optimization? SEO or search engine optimization begins with coding, designing, and programming a website to ensure that the website appears at the top of search engines and attracts targeted high quality traffic. If the web pages are not optimized, they will not get high ranking and this leads to no results, and the number of search engines the site has been submitted to does not make any difference. This is where expert search engine optimization professionals come in.
The SEO professional is one who understands the intricacies of how search engines are coded, how they work, and what they expect from websites. With expert search engine optimization, a website can be made visible to visitors querying for various related keywords on the search engines.
Web pages should meet the needs of the visitors in a particular niche. The idea is for the target audience to find the web page information easily through web directories and search engines.
This is a daunting task and expert search engine optimization involves the scientific and artistic skills of a company that has the expertise and the high skill set required to perform and succeed at this task.
Being top ranked on the search engines for a keyword that only brings in about 30 people monthly is not what we are talking about. Just as with any form of marketing, expert search engine optimization providers ensure that the return of investment (ROI) is reasonable. It is the duty of the SEO expert to achieve rankings on search engines that actually bring enough traffic to the website concerned, to offset the money that is paid for his services.
Expert search engine optimization - why do you need them? Why can’t this be done by ourselves? Good question. ‘Experience’ is the keyword here. Because with experience, the expert is able to look into the various nuances of search engine optimization and provide the key to a successful campaign with ease.
When expert search engine optimization services are hired, you must ensue that the company has got a clear picture of the direction to take in order to obtain best results. This intelligence is what creates a miracle on search engines.
Expert search engine optimization professionals have a wide range of skills, such as web designing, copy writing, HTML knowledge, link development, keyword analysis, off page optimization, on page optimization, distribution of press releases etc. Different experts believe in using different methods and while some specialize in result-oriented copy writing, others are more technically savvy and look into things like IP delivery. Whatever the route taken, the goal is positioning and attracting traffic.
When choosing a company that provides expert search engine optimization services, it is important to look into the background of the company. There are hundreds of SEO service providers on the internet today claiming to be experts in search engine optimization. But are they competent enough? I’m afraid NOT. It is not a good idea to go by assurances; it is the results that are important.
It is a great idea to check the expertise level of the so called expert search engine optimization providers, by making sure they possess the complete skill set, which includes copy writing skills, ability to write great headlines that are catchy, and most importantly, solid technical skills. The last but certainly not the least is the aspect of looking into the previous work done by the SEO company in order to classify them as an expert search engine optimization company.

When you have a small home-based business, and are basically just starting out, there are many great ways to make a large leap ahead. One of these great methods is to sell online merchandise. An online store can be set up relatively easily and e-commerce has been proven to be quite successful. There are many sites online these days that make e-commerce an excellent decision for your business.
Microsoft now offers a great service known as Bcentral, and is offering great deals on server and hosting packages that run on a monthly scale, or basis. This is a great tool for the individual that is looking to delve into the e-commerce field. If you have an idea for a catalog, and need tools to get it up and running such as templates, and logo creators this could be your solution you’ve been waiting for. Not only will you receive the templates and the graphic creators, but also you will receive the quaint shopping cart in the top right hand side of the page. Having the opportunity to track and control orders and sales is made very easy as you will receive automated conformation through your e-mail.

Another great service is provided by Ebay, the stores offer a very popular alternative and have a sliding fee scale to fit most businesses needs and budget. The basic service is for the smaller of the businesses that have a smaller volume of traffic. This does not mean that you will not have access to some great tools for your site,but you will not be able to keep track of the flow of traffic or sales with this service and there is a very limited directory, yet it is still a good service for someone who is just starting out. The next level of the ebay service will provide more for the business that may be needed as time goes on. It places your priorities in relation to the product you are trying to sell; knowing exactly what the consumer is looking for makes it easy for them to adjust your targeted areas. You will get some traffic reports and sales figures, but not many. The third and final level of the ebay store program is exactly where you want your business to be placed. This is the premier spot or the center stage. This is the place where the bulk of the strongest traffic will be located. This will give you a much stronger shot at making those sales.

Summary:
Once your website has secured an order, you have to fulfill it. While the fulfillment of digital goods is usually handled online, the delivery of physical goods is handled in a "brick-and-mortar" world.

Article Body:
Once your website has secured an order, you have to fulfill it. While the fulfillment of digital goods is usually handled online, the delivery of physical goods is handled in a "brick-and-mortar" world.
When choosing a fulfillment company for your ecommerce operation, you need to evaluate both fulfillment services and ecommerce services for order processing.
Evaluating Fulfillment Services
Fulfillment services includes receiving, inventorying, warehousing, delivery, record-keeping and customer inquiries. You have options to outsource part of or all of fulfillment services to a third party.
Receiving - This is the process that fulfillment vendors acquire goods from suppliers and the accuracy of services starts at the receiving.
Inventorying - The skills of inventory management directly impact the quality and cost of fulfillment. If inventory is out of stock, you may lose customers. If inventory level is too high, it may increase the cost of inventory.
Warehousing - Physical goods are stored in a warehouse and valuable items are usually stored in secure storage. While fulfillment companies have their warehouses and distribution centers, small businesses can store goods in their garages or basements.
Shipping - For order fulfillment, goods are delivered to customers in various shipping methods - ground, overnight, etc. at fulfillment centers. Customers specify shipping methods when they place their orders and the fulfillment companies may adjust the shipping methods of the delivery.
Return and Order Inquiry - Customer Service Reps at fulfillment companies can handle return and refund for their clients. Most ecommerce sites allow customers to view their orders and status of fulfillment online.
Record Keeping and Reporting - The ability to track all information pertinent to the order fulfillment (from inventory items, customers, orders to shipping) will help businesses to gain insights into the behaviors of their customers. Fulfillment companies and large organizations usually install inventory and fulfillment management software to automate the processes. Small business owners can find shareware for less than $100.
Evaluating Ecommerce Services
E-commerce fulfillment vendors are usually fulfillment vendors that provide ecommerce services related to fulfillment.
Online Catalog - Ecommerce fulfillment vendors can either develop online storefront for you or integrate your online storefront into their backend fulfillment system.
Online Payment Processing - Online storefronts from ecommerce fulfillment providers should have the ability to process payments online in credit card, electronic check, and purchase order. Using a fulfillment company, you can accept credit card online without a online merchant account.

Want to have an online store but can't pay the fifty bucks a month or more for a real ecommerce hosting solution? Why not get your store and take credit card payments for under ninety dollars a year?
So you have something you want to sell right? Ebay is good and every other marketplace online, and there are thousands of them, but you just want your own little e-store. You want to experiment and learn some things and maybe make a little or even alot of money but the common ecommerce hosting solutions are a bit out of your desired price range.
In this article I will quickly go over some easy and very affordable choices you have to get to your intended goal. These choices will be based on a combination of good, quality budget web hosting and a couple of the many free ecommerce software solutions out there.
An easy and free way to take credit card payments online is to get a paypal account. Paypal provides many solid services to online merchants and is easily the most popular online payment gateway available. They offer integration with ebay auctions as well as buttons for people to purchase things from you and also a fully customizable shopping cart. Go to http://www.paypal.com/ to find out more.
If you only have a few products to sell Paypals shopping cart may work well for you. You can just stick pictures and information about your products on a web site and add Paypal buttons for each product.
Certain hosting providers have a spot on their hosting control panels to easily install ecommerce scripts. With the click of a mouse you can have a full featured ecommerce solution ready to add your products to. Usually this includes stuff like product reviews, new products, specials, paypal or other payment gateway integration and news letters.
One of my favorite free ecommerce scripts is called osCommerce. Most web hosting companies provide easy installation for this. Good web hosting is usually between $70 and $120 a year. Add a payment solution like Paypal to this and some good products and you have your site. Now you have to market it. Thats another article altogether though.

ECommerce Websites are they a good solution for Small and Medium Sized Businesses? Exploring the benefits of having an eCommerce Website.
Keywords:
ECommerce, Online Shop, Internet Shopping, Website Solution, eCommerce Shopping Cart Design, Development, Internet Based Selling
Article Body:
In first World countries the Internet is now a huge part of our everyday life. We use it at work and we use it at home. It is all around us. A person from a First World country would be in a minority if they said they had not paid for anything across the Internet or bought a product or service online through an eCommerce store. In a August, 2007 study it was found that in Europe, in 2006, residents in European Nations spent $132 Billion Euros (USD $180 Billion) through eCommerce Websites. In the next 5 years the amount spent through eCommerce Websites is set to increase by 25% per annum to an estimated $406.8 Billion Euros (USD $554 Billion) by 2011. It should be noted this only covers Europe and does not factor in the US, Asia and other emerging regions, which would easily double or triple those figures.
So, clearly there is a huge market place online that needs to be serviced by online shops and websites selling products and services. As a business owner I can see a huge market for established businesses in the real World to move into the World of eCommerce and sell online.
ECommerce Website Partners should be assessed for their suitability to deliver a quality ongoing relationship that will be to your company’s best benefit for the long term.
1. A strong history of developing eCommerce Websites with a good portfolio and testimonials
2. Hosting with reliable and strong Internet connections
3. Good design and development team with 5 people to ensure adequate support in the future
4. Online Marketing Professionals with proven history of success and a good portfolio of established clients - THE single most important feature of any shop - getting visitors through the doors!
As a business owner I would describe an eCommerce store with Search Engine Optimisation implemented as a store with many, many different doorways into it. ECommerce websites owners should recognize that the more people you get to come to your website the more sales you will make. Search Engine Optimisation does exactly this, targeting certain phrase that when searched on in Google your website shows up for. Now it should be noted that the higher to the top you finish the more website visitors you are likely to get. It has been shown in studies that 80% of all people who search on a term go to one, or more, of the results on the first page (the top 10) results. So the goal with SEO is to get on the first page and in the top 10 results shown for a given search term. So your goal in choosing a partner should be focused on good website design but more on online marketing and how they can help you spread the word and get visitors to your website.
An eCommerce website provides many benefits to the underlying business. It gives the business an extra dimension and as mentioned above if implemented with SEO, many doorways into the shop. With more customers comes more revenues - everyone recognizes this fact. An eCommerce Shop also provides Interstate, National and even global reach for your product or service. With a Global eCommerce system you can reach the farthest reaches of the World and supply product, creating a Global Brand Name in new emerging markets.

Own an ecommerce website? Do you have a mailing list?
If not, you’re potentially leaving a lot of money on the counter.
Keeping in touch with your past customers and visitors, is one of the easiest and cost effective methods of increasing your website sales. You simply must have a mechanism to collect the email addresses of both buyers and browsers alike.
Collecting buyers email addresses is a ”no brainer” – after all you need to send them confirmation details, receipts etc. Just make sure you ask their permission to keep them up to date on future special offers.
Collecting visitor details is a bit trickier, and you must offer some kind of incentive in return for them handing over their valuable email address. Here are several ways:
· A discount voucher off their first order
The amount you are prepared to offer will depend on the profit margin in your business, and the drawback is you may only get the email addresses of people who were going to purchase anyway.
· A competition to win one of your products.
Do make sure you are honest and pick a winner – put past winner details on your site to emphasise this
· An insiders buyers guide
If you offer technical products that can be tricky to understand – such as electronics, audio-visual etc, then write a short guide
· Special reports or tips guides
If you sell golf equipment, search for articles on golf tips online, obtain the authors permission and compile them into a PDF report.
Managing your list
Depending on what ecommerce system your website is based on, you may already have the ability to manage email lists. If not, use a list management service such as Aweber (http://www.aweber.com/), which allows you to set up autoresponder sequences, multiple lists and send HTML emails.
Which brings me nicely to the next *must* . . . send HTML emails!
HTML emails are the ones full of images and graphics, rather like webpages as opposed to plain text emails.
Why? They are far more eyecatching, which is essential given the increasing amounts of email we get every day. You stand a better chance if you include images of your products – after all a picture is worth a thousand words, right?
(the only exception to this is people selling non tangible products or services - for example, information products usually work better in text emails.)
What should you communicate in your emails?
· Special offers
Any products that you have put on special offer, sale items, end of line stock etc. Adding a message of limited availability or ends by a certain date will help increase response.
· Seasonal offers
Garden furniture and barbecues in Spring, for example.
· Offers tied to special events
Before the recent FIFA World Cup, I was inundated with special offers on all kinds of TV’s for watching it on. If you can tie your products to a popular event in some way, so much the better.
· New product reviews
Reviews of the latest product offerings to hit your marketplace, will interest your customers.
· Technical “how to’s”
If you sell any kind of technical product, your customers will appreciate the occasional how to guide. How to get the best out of your equipment, top tips, etc.
Frequency of emails
I wouldn’t advise emailing your customers any more than once a week, and leave it more than a month between communications and they are likely to be forgetting about you.
There we have it. Loads of ideas on how to keep in touch with your customers, and make sure you stay at the forefront of their minds. The cost is virtually zero, and the potential returns are massive.
What’s the cost if you don’t? Well, undoubtedly one of your competitors will make the effort – and end up seducing your customers away from you . . possibly for good.
