(Issue #426) > -- >I have been enjoying and learning via your information - thank you. Now I am almost ready to launch my internet business, but as I am quite naive to this, I can't seem to find a way to connect visa or other credit cards for payment for my service. < -- I would like to help out with information on getting credit card processing for a site. First, check with your host and make sure they allow business accounts on your server! Then if that is ok'd check the amount of traffic you are allowed and be sure the server will handle your customer traffic. For the service itself, there are several ways to go. You can set up a full merchant account (Just do a search for the words "merchant Account" in any search engine and you will find plenty of offerings.) Then do the research with each company to check for fees, per sale charges, how it will be integrated into your site (secure server or a link, etc.) and whether or not it will work with your shopping cart software if you have one. Check with other customers of the account provider and make sure they are happy with the processing time, how the charge backs were handled, the security of the server, etc. There are several drawbacks to this method the first being cost. Usually you have to pay a set up fee, a monthly fee, a per charge fee, a charge back fee, and possibly a fee for equipment. You also have to pass a credit check and wait for the account to be set up. The second method is to sign up with a processing company that processes your sale for you and then keeps a part (a percentage ranging from 5% to as high as 45% that I've seen) of each sale to process each order. The customer just clicks on the "buy now" link on your site and they are whisked away to the secure page the processing co. has set up for your item. Each item usually has it's own page so you don't usually have a shopping cart with this method. A good example of this kind of provider is ClickBank.com or iBill.com. ClickBank has a 49.00 set up fee (one time not per item) and a $1 +7% fee per transaction. iBill has no set up fee but charges 15% of each transaction. The disadvantage to this method is that it is difficult to set up a shopping cart system, so selling multiple items may be tough. You could set up groups of items as single items though, and work around it that way. The advantages are that you don't have to pass a credit check or get seperate merchant accounts for visa/mc, discover, and AX who all use different merchant set ups. Click Bank and iBill will also will run an affiliate program for you complete with tracking, paying the commissions and all of the details such as stats, fraud tracking, and paying the affiliates who only get $ for each sale- not click thru. This will increase your sales exponentially! The third method is a service like PayPal.com which is like iBill and ClickBank but doesn't have the ability to run an affiliate program. They have just started to offer a shopping cart feature and they have no sign up fees, no monthly fees and only charge $3.00 + 3% (the last time I checked) per transaction.

Comments on Site #128: <a href="http://www.fabulousincome.com">http://www.fabulousincome.com</a> Kay Strong strongone(a)door.net ~~~~ I think the site is very attractive but have a little bit of a bone to pick with any MLM program that offers what they called a "Partner Program" since I feel those terms to be generally associated with affiliate programs and felt a bit misled when I went over there and realized it was MLM.  However, as MLM sites go, this one is done well. It always helps me to see a picture of the business owners and Kay and hubby look very nice. ~~~~ I liked the design of this site. The font was easy to read and the information clear and easy to understand. For improvements I do have some easy suggestions: 1- I did have to use the horizontal scroll bar with some of the pages 2- On the 'takeamoment' page the last sentence should have had     a question mark before the enter link. 3- Sometimes the enter link or findoutmore link was blue, sometimes     black. Always have it the same. 4- findout.html page, 3rd paragraph, 'ealth' should be 'wealth' 5- findout.html page, last paragraph, last sentence, 'committ' should     be 'commit' 6- No contact information for Kay & Bob ~~~~ A typical biz op page. The product is health supplements. The page is nice and clear, and the photo of the two of the proprietors adds a personal touch. The information is all there, but the buttons on the side bar open in new windows while the links in the main frame open there. Not much to fault. Does its job pretty well. ~~~~ This website seemed to be too big for my screen - a lot of horizontal scrolling to read the text. Other than that I liked this site, but on the Usana site it was linked to there were missing graphics and some typos. ~~~~ I found the site fabulousincome to be targeted to people new at network marketing.  The information was great for them, but for me I would have liked to see a page with just the facts, maybe a bullet point outline of the major benefits and how joining with them would be good for me. I didn't like having to go through page by page to get to a form to get a report. Nice layout though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel  <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator</a> posting:   <a href="mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com">MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to:    <a href="mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com">MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> Please send suggestions and comments to:    <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to <a href="mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com">Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com</a> See below for unsubscribe instructions.

That's irrelevant -- the fedz, and even state courts, are already giving the heaviest sentences to protesters of anytime in our history. And you obviousely have never taken part in any street actions. They've got a good idea -- one of the tactics used by cops for quite awhile is to have undercover agents in the crowd who spot the *real* troublemakers, leaders, etc. and then often an "affinity squad" will target that individual. By making it very difficult to differentiate any individuals, that whole cop tactic becomes useless. The other part of the bloc is that by staying together in a tight group, they can grab arrestees from the cops more easily. We used to have groups of two or three who worked together this way, more is better.

Proliferation of Surveillance Devices Threatens Privacy
by Matthew Gaylor 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

Proliferation of Surveillance Devices Threatens Privacy Joint Statement of House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-TX, And The American Civil Liberties Union FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, July 11, 2001 WASHINGTON -- Over the past several days, a troubling expansion in the way technology is being used in the surveillance of ordinary Americans has come to light. In response, we are today joining together to call on all state and local governments to stop using these dangerous technologies now before privacy in America is so diminished that it becomes nothing more than a fond memory. Majority Leader Armey will ask the General Accounting Office to study the extent to which the federal government is funding facial-recognition technologies. In addition, he will ask the relevant House Committees to hold hearings on law enforcement use of surveillance technology. The ACLU supports these requests. Tampa, Florida drew attention to the importance of these issues with its highly publicized use of facial recognition technology during this year's "snooperbowl." The city recently took the next step by using the software to scan individuals in an entertainment district. Virginia Beach announced this week that it will seek state funding to install similar facial-recognition cameras in its oceanfront areas. In Colorado, the Department of Motor Vehicles is moving ahead with a plan approved by the Legislature to create a database containing computerized three-dimensional facial maps of all those applying for driver's licenses. There is an alarming potential for misuse of all of these systems. Used in conjunction with facial-recognition software, for example, the Colorado database could allow the public movements of every citizen in the state to be identified, tracked, recorded and stored. These surveillance systems are ineffective and will lead the police to stop people who have done nothing wrong. According to the Los Angeles Times, a recent study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that digital comparisons of posed photos of the same person taken 18 months apart triggered false rejection by computers 43 percent of the time. Police relying on this technology will be led too often to stop and question the innocent instead of the suspect. These cameras do not generate suspicion adequate to trigger a law enforcement stop. Instead, they may lead to high-tech "racial profiling" should surveillance cameras be placed in areas populated primarily by members of ethnic and racial minority groups. We are extremely troubled by this unprecedented expansion in high-tech surveillance in the United States. We believe that technology should not be used to create a "virtual line up" of Americans who are not suspected of having done anything wrong. The threats to privacy in America are all too real. We believe the privacy risk outweighs any benefits that these devices may offer. It's time to take notice of what has happened to privacy in America today. The ACLU of Florida has asked Tampa city officials for additional information about what its facial recognition program.

Big Brother the toilet troll

Um, what would the price premium be for a toilet that operates as a stoolie? 10X? 20X? Don't hold your breath waiting for it to become a standard. Ever seen the commodes in Japan with all sorts of knobs and switches? Reminds me of a joke I heard about same long ago. Rather than take serious risks leave the bells and whistles alone and use the compatibility mode. Poop jokes on CP. Jeesh. Mike
