Demystifying Merchant Accounts

Many new business owners are confused about rates and fees for merchant accounts, and rightfully so. In order to get many of your questions answered you have to spend hours searching the Internet. The purpose of this article is to help demystify some of the confusing questions you may have about credit card rates and fees.

When it comes to choosing which Merchant Account Provider you wish to deal with (there are many of them out there) the one factor that influences most people is the cost. Accepting credit cards can be expensive, so make sure when you’re searching around you compare different providers to get the best deal. Read all the fine print also, as you may find some “hidden” charges not mentioned elsewhere like cancellation fees for example.

Java Native Interface

Ok, so now you finally admitted to yourself that you’ve got a problem! You have all this code that has been doing its job for years now but it really needs a bit of a makeover. What doesn’t help your cause is that it has come to your boss’s attention that “Java is the way to go!” and he or she is now eager to harness the powers of this mystical thing they call “Java”.

It is suggested that you do whatever you can to bring attention to your business by way of your web site, search engine placement, writing articles, publishing e-zines, sending out press releases and making offers at your site that encourage inquiries. The important point is to do whatever you can to build your own e-mail lists, which you can begin by promoting an e-zine, offering e-mail newsletters or writing an e-book.

Flee The Fee

Open-source (free) software is nothing new to the back end of business computing – chances are good your enterprise runs Linux servers that send email, control print jobs, and serve your company website internally and to customers. These non-proprietary software not only save money but keep hackers at bay. Ask your tech folk what you’re running, and, more importantly, why.

How Small Advertisers Can Compete With The Big Boys

Google’s Adwords Select has soon become the focus of many online marketers simply because it is the best pay-per-click advertising options ever to grace the Internet. Many PPC search engines like Overture had one fundamental problem. Big advertisers with deep pockets were always able to out bid the rest. And the rest did not have any means of competing other than bidding a higher price per key word. Google’s Adwords Select is unlike that.
