PayPal is becoming more and more prevalent as a means of doing business on the internet. Those who spend a lot of time on eBay are well aware of how PayPal works. Now that more and more websites are asking for PayPal payments, many consumers are left scratching their heads and wondering, “What is PayPal? Is it safe? Is it easy?”
PayPal is a means of making or receiving secure payments over the internet in the place of a credit card. Consumers must sign up for a PayPal account and link it to either a bank account or a credit card. When the time comes to pay for a purchase over the internet, the customer provides the merchant with their PayPal account information, the money is paid to the merchant (less a small transaction fee) and the linked bank account or credit card is charged appropriately.
Common uses for PayPal include sending and receiving money to or from friends and family online, requesting money for a charity drive and making online purchases. In addition, when requesting money, an invoice and detailed payment instructions can be generated.
Money can be sent to over fifty five countries in the following currencies: U.S. dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, and Yen.
Using PayPal is easy to use, safe and free for the purchaser. PayPal doesn’t share financial information so the seller never sees bank account or credit account numbers. They have strict anti-fraud measures in place and protect buyers from unauthorized purchases.
In addition, for those who accept payments into their PayPal account, an ATM/debit card is available for easy access to funds. Otherwise, simply log into PayPal and request a transfer of funds back into the previously linked bank account.
With over 96 million PayPal accounts already set up worldwide, PayPal is clearly making friends.

Paid Surveys Forum - Should You Take Advice From A Paid Surveys Forum?
If you're looking for a good website to get paid survey leads from, I don't recommend using a paid surveys forum. Usually, the scam sites have infiltrated them and filled them with propaganda that tells you to go to their site to make the most money. As a seasoned paid survey professional, I know first hand how alluring the promises of work from home riches can be. Unfortunately, you'll never become filthy rich just by filling out paid online surveys. You can, however, make a decent living if you go about it the right way.
First and foremost, avoid the paid surveys forum. You can't trust what the people who post have to say. Second, you have to do your homework. Look through websites, try and find success stories or testimonials from satisfied members who have actually gotten paychecks. I have used the same sites for years, so I'm not really aware of the new ones that may have popped up since I first started looking.
The sites that I use are awesome and I highly recommend taking a look at them to see what you should be looking for in a paid survey site. With these sites, I consistently make around $3,500 each month. The most important thing to note is that these sites don't require monthly membership fees.
That's a great way to spot a scam website, by the way. If a site claims to give you access to lists of paid surveys in exchange for your credit card numbers and automatic withdrawals from your bank account each month for membership fees, run in the other direction. Trustworthy sites only make you pay a one time membership fee. Next, if you find one that you're satisfied with tell people about it. Scam sites don't have to keep ripping people off, if everyone in the industry looks out for one another eventually they'll be put out of business!

Understand The Different Kinds Of Web Hosting
Web hosting is a term that describes the kind of Internet service which permits individuals, families, or companies to build, maintain, and host their websites. If you have ever served the Internet you know that there are websites devoted to anything and everything on the ‘Net. Whether it is a personal site showing off pictures, a small business getting the word about a product out, or a global company that is making its presence known on the World Wide Web, web hosting is a service that each of them needs.
There are different kinds of web hosting available. Well known to hobbyists and very small business owners alike is the free web hosting service which permits the building of entire websites for free. Of course, most of these services are very limited with respect to design, and additionally will place advertisements onto the site. While this is a not a problem for an individual’s hobby site, it may come across as being a bit unprofessional for a business. Thus, most businesses – large or small – will choose to go with the paid web hosting option.
Yet even among web hosts there are different kinds. Shared web hosting is a common term to many hosts. It simply implies that a business or personal site does not have a dedicated server, but instead is placed with many other sites on the same server. This is perceived to be a disadvantage by the big business clients who pay extra for a dedicated hosting service. Some hosts have begun to market their service as a virtual dedicated server, which is little more than a dedicated server in name only. Whatever choice you may pick, having a website is a most rewarding endeavor, and while for businesses it should be considered a requirement in today’s global market, more and more individuals are entering the world of website development as well.

The Internet Can Help You Operate A Home Business
The Internet has created a wave of new trends, including online home businesses. In the past, people had to leave their homes and commute to work in order to spend the day at the office. Now people have the option of starting a home business and can stay home with their families while they are working. The ability to create your own work schedule means that more people are able to spend more quality time with their loved ones and less time working away from home. One disadvantage, however, is that in some occupations, the Internet has become saturated. This prevents people working in certain fields to successfully work online.
If you are a writer, you may have experienced such saturation. The Internet has allowed anyone to operate a small business in this field, regardless of the amount of talent that they possess. This is not a negative result of the Internet, it simply means that if yo have talent in this field and are looking for ways to make money with it online, you may be faced with greater competition than you expected.
On the other hand, the Internet also makes it easier for almost anyone to see the work that you have done. You will be able to sell your work without having to deal with the hassle of a middle man.
The Internet can also help people in other professions as well. If yuou are an accountant or tutor, you now have the possibility of running a business out of your home rather than having to worry about the office.

Seo - Is Joining A Blog Ring A Good Seo Tactic?
A blog ring works in exactly the same way as a web ring. You go to a blog ring site and then join the ring that is most closely matched with your topic. You place an object on your page that allows visitors to click on the link to the next blog in the ring. In turn other sites send their traffic to you.
To choose a good blog ring make sure that you check the statistics as to how many visitors that blog ring actually generates. The blogging host usually provides these totals. It is not worth it to join a blog ring with low numbers as the code that is used to generate the link boxes can take up a lot of space on your site.
The easiest way to find the blog ring that is best for your business is to type blog ring and then your general topic area into a good search engine such as Yahoo or Google.
However blog rings are not always the best idea. For one thing many of them require that you upload huge flashy images, banners or links on your site. This is a bad idea, especially if the banners or links have flash animation in them as a search engine spider can encounter this and read your site as broken or as having dead space.
While joining a blog ring is cheap they can cost you. . First of all there is no grouping of links you might find yourself linking to sites that you would rather not be associated with – such as adult content or even your competition’s site.
The point is that not all traffic that a blog ring brings may be wanted on your site. If you don’t focus your keywords and ads you will end up attracting a lot of surfers and window shoppers. The problem with these types of visitors is that they exhaust your bandwidth and sometimes leave spam or nonsensical content on your pages.

Seo - Don't Seo What Does Not Sell
Sometimes what people see as the failure of search engine optimization techniques is actually the failure of a business in general. There is something to be said for “doing what you love and the money will come” but if nobody else loves it but you and your wife, it is not going to sell. This means doing a bit of market research,
Developing an Internet business is the same as developing any other type of business. You need a concept that will sell which of course means asking yourself the series of deep penetrating questions and of course doing your homework. It also means giving the people what they want which is basically “a quality product that works at an affordable price.” Yet for some reason most people believe that they most people will go for “a low quality product sold at a high price and that a bit of well applied SEO will take care of any flaws in the business plan. Nothing could be further from the truth!
There are really only three things that you can sell on the Internet.
1) Goods. These are concrete items that you would normally find in a retail store. Selling goods is your most expensive option simply as it might require the leasing of warehouse space.
2) Services. This includes all the services you would normally expect to be sold in the non-virtual world.
3) Information. This is everything that you would find in a newspaper, magazine, periodical or library.
Once you have decided what you want to sell, whether it be goods, services or information or some kind of dual or tripled combination of all three options, you are ready to contemplate the type of business that you want run on the Internet and create an intelligent SEO strategy for marketing it!

Internet Marketing: An Essential Ingredient For Business Success
Promoting your online business is a very important part of drawing interest in your goods and services. The more people you can attract to your site, the more potential you have to generate a higher volume of sales. Budgets for advertising and marketing online are often low. This means the business has to get creative to make the most out of what they do have.
What all internet businesses have is the potential to reach millions of individuals who use the internet. Online newsletters are a great way to generate business. Not only does it let current consumers feel that you have not forgotten them, it keeps your business fresh in their mind. These newsletters are great for potentially new customers as well. People are more likely to pursue making a purchase from an online business that appears to be stable
Sending promotional emails is often a great way to advertise. This method reaches a large volume of individuals with very little time or money invested. You will need to purchase an email list for your target market from a retailer. Make sure you are informed of the methods to use, or many of your efforts will be wasted by junk mail filters.
For online businesses who want to try something more, consider hiring an online marketing broker. These individuals are skills at setting up marketing for various types of businesses. They will also work with you to update your website design if necessary. Most online marketing brokers cost a minimal fee. However, the catch is that they will have you sign a contract that entitles them to a percentage of the revenue generated by the traffic they generate that actually makes a purchase. Since type of earnings generally means they are going to work hard to make your business succeed, and generate a nice profit for themselves.

The Secrets To Writing For Your Niche
How do you attract your targeted niche market to your Virtual Assistance practice? Start by crafting a website that clearly reflects your ability to meet their needs.
Keep your target market and niche in mind when you're writing the content for your website. Don’t be afraid to identify your target market from the start.
You may choose to brand yourself as ‘The Author’s VA’ and build this title right into your header graphic and headlines. Everyone who visit’s the site will know that you specialize in serving authors. Or you may have specialized in providing speedy service for urgent tasks so you’re branding might be ‘The Speedy VA” with a tag line of “Your business emergency is our first priority.” Visitors will know right away that you’re the answer to all their last minute administrative problems.
Your service descriptions will also need to be tailored to your niche. Describe just how you can be of special service to your target market. Let them know how your specialized knowledge can benefit their particular kind of business. Without trying to sound like you’re tooting your own horn, you do want to highlight your understanding of their industry.
Any testimonials that you share on the website should be from clients in your desired target market. If you have done work for others, it might be best to leave their testimonials off of the website in order to present a clear message about your niche. Ask your current clients to provide you with a testimonial that mentions how well they appreciate working with someone who has specialized.
Writing good web copy for your target market will set you apart from all the other VA's that don't – and that is just what you need. If you do this just right, you’ll convince your potential client that you are the perfect VA for them.

SEO - Choosing Blog Fonts And Colors
Part of having a cohesive blog design is to choose one or two fonts and two to four colors and stick with them on your site. The best looking sites are minimalist in design. A site that has too many different types of fonts and colors on it just looks unprofessional.
It is also helps to choose colors that suit your subject areas. Cooler colors such as blues and grays tend to suit blogs that are of a technical, political or authoritative nature. Warmer colors seem to suit more casual subjects. For instance a pink and yellow themed site is more suited to a blog about baby showers than it is to a rant about human rights abuses in Africa.
In general the smaller and more classic your font is, the more it implies authority and respect. An example is Times New Roman or Bookman. Arial, Verdana and Helvetica are middle of the road fonts that are offered with most blog templates as a standard font. The shorter, squatter and larger the font, the less professional your blog will look.
Additionally it is best to stick with fonts that most people would have on their computers. Keep in mind that if a computer cannot read a font it will put your site on a default font so it can be read. This can knock your layout out of alignment and give it an unattractive appearance on other people’s computers. Fonts that any computer can read include Arial, Verdana, Times Roman, Times New Roman, Georgia, Palatino and Tahoma. Keep your layout as simple as possible to avoid distortion of it on other people’s computers as well.
One warning is to stay away from the black hat SEO technique of making your keywords the same color as a web page. The search engine spiders are on to this technique and will penalize your site for it.

SEO - Should You Go For A Long Or Short Domain Name?
It is widely believed that most search engines now look at the domain name when they go to index a page. However nobody really knows if this is really true as the search engine algorithms are actually secrets, like FICO scores. Google and Yahoo also constantly morph their algorithms to avoid favoring URLS that are using black hat SEO techniques from soaring in the page rankings unfairly. However to be on the safe side you might want to consider that this is a rumor that is probably true.
Domain names can be of any length up to 67 characters. You don't have to settle for an obscure acronym for a domain name like SEOE.com when what you mean is searchengineoptimizationexpert.com.
Having said that, there appears to be some disagreement about whether a long or short domain name is better. Some argue that shorter domain names are easier for people to remember and easier for people to type in the search engine box. For instance learnSEO.com is a lot easier to remember than mastercourseforoptimation.com.Others argue that a longer domain name is usually easier on the human memory – especially if it is a catchier phrase. The catchier it is the more clients are more likely to remember the domain name and type it into the search engine box.
One reason to stay away from acronyms is that they can mean more than one thing. The acronym ACA is a good example – it stands for several things including the American Counseling Association, The Association of Canadian Archivists and the Association of Canadian Advertisers just to name a few.
It is probably a good idea to go for a shorter name as long as it is to the point and meaningful. If it is longer than two words then make sure it is memorable.

Don't Kid Yourself. You Must Know The Rules Of Making Money Online.
Making money online has to start with the love of a steady job in the comfort of your own home. I started out by being taught how to set up a google adword account, yahoo account and a MSN account. When you work and you already have a job, family and other interest signing up can take one month alone. Interruptions are like mosquitoes having a feast on your epidermis.
But, once the accounts are set up then the picking and choosing begin. You have to ask yourself? Do I like writing articles? Do I like making websites? How many affiliate programs should I sign up for? How does that work? Your lucky if you are this hip to figure out how to ask all the questions and have the time to read the answers to all the questions. Daunting? Yes, Worth it, yes.
There are people who are true servants and desire that their success is measured by others success. That is why affiliate programs work. Joining a program with people who know how to communicate success is your best bet for success.The good teacher can show the simplest mind step by step how to do very complicated techniques.
This is a gift that the right online teachers give everyday. The rules of making money is to get in the game. The game is exciting, exhilarating and satisfying. Keywords, search engine ranking, article writing, adsense, adwords, yahoo and so much more.

Adsense Decoded Review - Good Or Bad?
After having a chance to see what the videos have to offer those who implement the tactics they show, I decided to write this Google Adsense Decoded Review. Ideally, after reading this brief review, you’ll have a good understanding of what the system is all about and what you can realistically expect to get out of it.
Dr. Patrick Hillenbrand, creator of Google Adsense Decoded, managed to make $10,852 in the first month he used the program, all while using absolutely no search engine traffic. This is an awesome amount of money, but how likely is it that Average Joe can recreate the success Dr. Hillenbrand had?
An Adsense GPS roadmap, the program works for those who like the idea of making money with Adsense marketing. It really can work well for anyone who is willing to fully execute the principles outlined in the Google Adsense Decoded videos. Literally, in a matter of days you can go from making just a dollar or two each day to $500+ in the same 24 hours.
A little over $100 gets you the Google Adsense Decoded system, and there are no recurring fees or hidden charges. The program even teaches you advanced "Adsense Brokerage" techniques that will further increase your earnings. Literally, each of the secrets outlined in the videos are proven to generate more income than you ever thought possible. Also, there's no way for you to get lost along the way, as the instructions are all step by step. It doesn't get much easier than that!
I highly recommend the Google Adsense Decoded system to anyone who is interested in the exciting world of online marketing. Dr. Hillenbrand gives you all of the tools you need to make a ridiculous amount of money working from home, and after awhile the system starts to run itself. This means you make money without doing work!

SEO - Familiarizing Yourself With The Metrix
Turning a pay per click affiliate program into a money making machine involves getting to know what professional Internet marketers call the metrix. The metrix is simply a term that means “numbers.” You need to get cozy with your numbers and you have to know how to read them so that you can figure out when they are reflecting a profit and when they are reflecting loss. This is how you figure out your costs versus your profits and whether or not you are getting ahead.
As an affiliate marketer you will also hear the term ROI flung around all the time. This is an acronym for Return on Investment For instance, If you know that your affiliate program pays you $1.00 for sale, you could theoretically bid 0.75 cents per click to bid on a keyword in a pay per click program and still make a quarter with each click. However what many beginning network marketers overlook in the beginning (perhaps it is wishful thinking) is that this is only true if 100% of the people visiting your site actually buy. This means that most of that .75 that you are paying for is going to consumed by someone who logs into your site and is “just looking.” Never assume that the traffic you are bidding on is going to be the same kind of traffic that is already visiting your website.
If you don’t want untargeted, non-buying traffic it is important to do some market research before you launch a pay per click advertising campaign. This means taking the time to find out which words or phrases people most commonly use and input into the search engines when they shop for your product or service. One of the best free online tools for conducting this kind of targeted market research is the Overture (Yahoo) keyword search engine tool.

Finding The Best Affiliate Program For Your Site
There are plenty of affiliate marketing options available if you own your own website and are interested in getting involved with these. The best affiliate program is not necessarily the one that provides the highest commission. It could be the one that gives you the best opportunity to make the most sales. For example, adult and gambling sites usually offer the highest commission, however this may not fit well with your site.
The best affiliate program will offer something that is related to your site and offers an opportunity to convert your visitors to paying customers. If your site is related to golf, then you want to choose an affiliate program promoting golf.
There are other ways you can affiliate commissions even if you promote products that are not directly related to your site. For example, often travel sites will offer valued commissions. If you suggest this to your sports minded visitors and offer it as a suggestion to travel to other golf courses, you are likely to earn even more income.
If you register with an affiliate marketing company, you will be able to learn which affiliate companies have the better options. There are many affiliate forums where you can discuss company performances with others that are interested in affiliate marketing. You'll want to research the pay structure of each affiliate program before deciding to join.
There are other things you want to consider when joining an affiliate program other than the pay structure. You also want to consider whether or not the program leaves you any control. Some affiliate programs want you to make adjustments to your website to meet their demands. This can confuse your visitors and you always want to keep your website as close to its original state regardless of the commissions you may earn.

Seo - Using Blog Directories To Increase Your Web Presence
With the popularity of blogs increasing every day, it’s nearly impossible for a reader to know what blogs exist and where to find them all. This is where the encyclopedic power of the blog directory: it organizes and categorizes the thousands of blogs listed its database so readers can find your blog more easily. There are usually headings and all the person has to do to find your blog is point and click on a heading to find you. These blog directories also often have search engine boxes as well which is handy as many of the blog hosts don’t. Many of them also allow visitors different ways of viewing the contents of the site – alphabetically, by date and so on.
Blog directories are generally free to the blogger, though they will often require you to feature a small, approved banner or a link is also placed on your site. Often your listing is not approved until the placement or link is in place. Depending on the directory this can take a few hours or a few weeks for them to approve.
To get listed in a blog catalog, visit them and submit your site, accurately describing your blog (an inaccurate description will result in less targeted traffic). Check their requirements for banners and be sure to use the link they generate for you – this will ensure you get credit if another blogger joins from your page. Most blog directories will require you to host their images on your own server space, so be sure to follow their directions. Stealing their bandwidth is a sure way to get de-listed in a hurry.
Some popular blog directories that you might want to check out are Blogadvance, Blogarama, Blogcrowd, Blogexchange, Blog Catalog, Get Blogs, Globe of Blogs, LS Blogs and Traffic Swarm.

Blogs - The Cheapest Persuasive Marketing Tool
A blog is basically just another persuasive marketing tool, just like a newsletter or a press release. However unlike web pages, that can require a lot of fooling around html or graphics, you can upload your message quickly to a blog and have it able to be searched the same day. This is because blogs are created on templates that are quickly refreshed by their hosts and indexed by the search engines.
The fact that blogs can be easily updated and indexed quickly search engine spiders allows you to post the "latest" news about your product or services. This makes you look appear as if you take a personal interest in your business or industry. It gives you added credibility as well as serves as a constant reminder to your readers that you are always up to date and open for business.
Another advantage to creating a search engine optimized blog is that bogs are inexpensive to set up. In fact, many of them are available for free. There is probably no cheaper way to get your advertising message out to an audience than through a blog. They are most valuable for small Internet businesses that can’t afford other more expensive and traditional forms of advertising.
Who knew that since blogs were first invented that they would transform so expediently from being a way of delivering news to one of the most effect search engine optimizing advertising tools on the web. If you haven’t yet considered this way of search engine optimizing your site then consider it, as it is also a way of advertising and elevating your search engine rankings that is still under-utilized on the net. The same can’t be said of other systems that use SEO techniques such as Google Adsense which has been exploited to death.

Affiliate Marketing: A True Home Based Internet Business
If you are looking for a true home based internet business, then affiliate marketing may just be the ticket for you. Subsequent to all, if you own your own websites, possibly have editor access to a site where your writing is published, or if you have a pastime that you have dedicated a website just for the enjoyment of it, you may be able to cash in by simply putting a few well placed links on your site. Although it is factual that countless affiliate sponsors will only pay pennies for a completed sale, there are some who will actually part with a lot of cold, hard cash for a new customer! Finding them and bringing them to the sponsor will turn your site into a true home based internet business.
Take for example the credit card company that will pay out more than $100 for a customer who follows your affiliate link invitation to fill out a credit card and is approved, and you can see how quickly and easily the money will accumulate, by changing your website from one that is just operated on a whim or as a hobby into a very serious and very true home based internet business. The trick to earning real money and turning your website into a true home based internet business rather than a site that is filled with banner ads that may be at odds with one another or that might only net you a few pennies is to be selective and creative.
Search carefully the affiliate sponsors who are willing to market, and then go all out marketing them. Imaginatively you may consider posting articles to your site about the product or service, networking with other sites to have your site displayed on their sites, and do whatever else you can think of to market your site and with it the affiliate links you have selected. This, in turn, will make your site a true home based internet business.

AA Roadfinder
The AA provide a great UK route finding service on their website, http://www.theaa.com, It is a very simple and easy to use function, simply by typing in your location and desired destination - either by place name or post code, the route finder will provide a detailed road map as well as full and clear driving instructions as to how to reach the destination in the quickest time possible. It is therefore a very easy and simple to use method of navigation, suitable for everyone. There is an option to go ‘via’ a certain place, which can be incorporated into the route. On top of this, the route can be planned avoiding any motorways, or toll roads/congestion charged areas. These options can be ticked before entering your search.
Other elements can also be factored into the route finder, including petrol stations, speed cameras and traffic black spots. Icons are also shown for such buildings as hospitals, hotels, and sports grounds.
The map can then be emailed onwards, printed out or simply copied down from the computer screen. The service is completely free of charge, and is available to every user who visits the AA site. The search is generated almost instantaneously, which is highly convenient for any last minute journeys or route alterations which need to be made.
Due to the fact that this type of navigation requires map reading, it can be quite a dangerous method to use when driving alone, especially at night. It would be advised to make regular stops at safe destinations in order to familiarise yourself with the route that needs to be taken, or have a passenger who can read it for the driver, and therefore there will be no accidents as a result of careless driving.
Used properly and sensibly, the AA route finder is a great free way to direct you safely from A to B.
