<div><em><strong>Apple Genius</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I have tried mutliple free hosts that claim to have PHP and MySQL support but when i upload either osCommerce or ZenCart they never work as the host will block some of the needed services like SSL. Even some of the hosts that i have tried say that you can install these applications from there admin areas but when you go to set them up they still have something missing or try and make you pay for something like MySQL support.</p>
<p>Is there a free host that i can install one of these applications on to test for a project that i am doing. I don&#8217;t really want to have to buy a domain for that.<br/><br/><a href='http://answers.yahoo.com/'>Content supplied by Yahoo Answers</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Armands P</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I`m a web developer and a client asked me if he can accept credit/debit card payments on his website.</p>
<p>So I did some research and maybe someone could verify if I`m getting this right.</p>
<p>1.My client needs to get a merchant account in a bank.<br />
   (this can be done by talking with his bank or using some service<br />
   like worldpay.com (the only service I found that has no limitation<br />
   on where the business has to be))</p>
<p>2.My client needs to subscribe to a payment gateway service</p>
<p>3.Possibly an online shopping cart service must be used, because payment gateways require HTTPS connection.<br />
   (HTTPS is not avaiable in the website in question)</p>
<p>P.S.<br />
My clients business is in Latvia.<br/><br/><a href='http://answers.yahoo.com/'>Content supplied by Yahoo Answers</a></div>

<div>The average consumer rarely takes notice of what kind of shopping cart software an ecommerce website uses. Most who shop online gravitate to the sites that are always well organized and easy to use. Customers want to find what they are looking for, make their purchase on an encrypted connection and move on.<br/><br/>In truth, customers should never really have to notice anything but their own shopping experience when making purchases online. They rely on the website owner to make sure things are in good working order and that there is reasonable access to the necessary features. To be taken seriously as an online merchant, one will need to offer not only an attractive online environment but professional checkout services as well.<br/><br/>If a website is set up properly, rarely is there any cause for concern; however, setting up a website to offer a good shopping experience means paying attention to detail. Many who start a website pay attention to the obvious areas but sometimes forget or skimp on areas that they shouldn&#8217;t. It is not until problems arise that one must turn around and go back to the details they overlooked.<br/><br/>Many focus intensely on creating a unique and distinctive ecommerce site and then spend a great amount of energy on Internet marketing. However, opting for mediocre shopping cart software is often the undoing of even the most well organized website. After all, it is unrealistic to expect phenomenal sales if the ability to exchange currency for goods is incomplete or hampered in the slightest way.<br/><br/>Website owners can sometimes opt for a software package that ends up being too big or too small for the type or number of products offered. Unless the website is offering something extraordinary, a checkout process that is baffling, drawn out or a complete hassle will result in a lost sale nearly every single time. Even if it does result in a sale, it&#8217;s unlikely the customer will ever return.<br/><br/>Along with good organization, staying profitable largely has to do with keeping an accurate record of sales and sales related information. The more products that are offered on a website, the more information there is to keep track of. This refers to inventory and such things as sales tax, discounts and even daily and monthly sales totals.<br/><br/>A quality shopping cart software package is one that can handle these issues with relative ease. Some even streamline services by offering a number of features all in one package. Instead of opting for several different programs, one can see their sales, keep track of their customer base and even analyze customer sales preferences all in one fell swoop.<br/><br/>For those offering only a few products or a simple service, keeping things hassle free is essential to completing sales. The epitome of online shopping will always be convenience and anything that detracts from that can cost a website not only a customer but also their repeat business. Starting out with basic features and then fine tuning them to offer the best service for the website and the customer is always a smart move.<br/><br/>There are many software providers that make changing a website&#8217;s checkout process nice and easy. Many packages are developed specifically to be user friendly and interface well with already established website programming. A website owner has all the freedom they need to make changes to whatever, whenever they need to.<br/><br/>Without the right shopping cart software, the hopes of owning a profitable online business can be rather shaky. Luckily, this is something that can be improved and adjusted at anytime to make one&#8217;s hopes a wonderful reality.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Andy West</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>

<div>More consumers than ever are conducting their shopping online and in the future even more people will conduct their shopping this way. The reason why is that shopping online is fast, easy and it is simple to compare prices from many stores for the same product. The only big drawback of ecommerce is the inability to hold a product in your hands and look it over. Fortunately, there is a substitute for this and it is known as product reviews. Sure, product reviews don’t let you feel what the product is like, but they will explain to you the benefits and drawbacks and personal experiences. This is incredibly important for online shoppers because they can read others’ experiences. Many times the product reviews will be informative enough to help online shoppers make a decision and choose to buy or pass on a particular item.<br/><br/>When you are looking for shopping cart software it is even more important to read product reviews. The reason why is that everyone will have a different experience and they will detail those in their review. Some users will find the shopping cart software to be perfect for their needs and explain what those needs are. Then, there will be others who found the software to be lacking for whatever reason and will explain why. You read these reviews and can tell by others’ experiences if the software will fit your needs and future needs as well. Keep in mind you should read all reviews before making a decision, or at least a good sampling. You want to focus on the bad reviews and see why someone rated the software low. Perhaps they didn’t like the price or they didn’t know how to use it. If that’s the case then the bad review is irrelevant. Yet, if the review states that the software has glitches and explains what those are then you should pay more attention to this type of review.<br/><br/>Spending a few minutes reading what other consumers have to say about different shopping cart software may help you make a decision as to which software will work best for you. Remember, don’t read just one or two reviews. Instead, take 10 minutes and read as many good, average, and bad reviews as you can. This will help you understand more about the product and its benefits and drawbacks. When you know more about how the shopping cart software works when implemented then you can decide what to buy.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Aaron Goldberg</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>

<div><em><strong>lizgas</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I am looking at travel sets. I went on consumer reports and baby center. i see that in consumer reports  chicco was the one brand that did excellent on the crash test and preg preggo, britax, baby trend and graco did very good on the crash protection. we are thinking of getting the chicco travel set or one of the graco travel sets. I went on baby center to look up recalled car seat. graco had a recall in sept of this year so i am a lil sketchy. its seems like chicco and baby trend are the only brands my local stores have. I was reading the reviews on chicco and some people were please and some were just upset that they paid too much and that the car seat does not fit in to a shopping cart (i think thats scary though) i would like some advice. people that have used chicco baby trend and graco what have been your experiences. what do you reccomend, tips?

<div><em><strong>lildevil</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I was wondering what you thought of it for if you have a 2year old and a newborn?<br />
I really wish they had a tandem stroller but they don&#8217;t  but you can hook every seat onto the stroller and the rocker and the infant seat is convenient looking for placing into a car plus it has the pull down shade so you don&#8217;t have to put a blanket over the top of the seat. </p>
<p>i really like this product based on the ease of use and all the demos and positive reviews i have seen but am worried i may need a tandem stroller&#8230;..altho i don&#8217;t go too far while walking and i usually use a cart when grocery shopping so it seems doable..<br />
what do you think?</p>
<p>also if you have an orbit and two kids at or under two how has it been for you?<br />
http://www.orbitbaby.com/video/index.html<br />
wow i never even thought about zoo trips my other option i was thinking about was an options tandem and combi carseat but i think that i will definately have another set of hands on outings like that due to the fact that i wont go alone&#8230;.dont know how to drive in the city lol plus a simple umbrella stroller suited my neice just great when she was two for disney land and they are small so fitting it and the orbit into my trunk would be a breeze<br/><br/><a href='http://answers.yahoo.com/'>Content supplied by Yahoo Answers</a></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are using AdWords or AdSense you want to have heard about an rising apply in the underworld of computing referred to as &#8220;click fraud&#8221;. But what exactly is click fraud and how is it accomplished?</p>
<p> Well AdSense uses a payment mechanism that awards a sure amount of money to a publisher (somebody who holds an AdSense banner on their page) each time someone clicks on the said banner. Thus click fraud is the attempt to own people clicking the ads just thus that they will earn a bigger income.</p>
<p> There are folks putting in place sites for the sole purpose of fraudulently generating revenue through Google&#8217;s AdSense program. These users achieve an incredible range of clicks through several strategies, some complicated and refined and a few rudimentary and simple.</p>
<p> One in all the most complex is thru the employment of therefore referred to as &#8220;hitbots&#8221;. These are automated programs who emulate clicking the links in AdSense banners (there are some that really click the banners still).</p>
<p> Google&#8217;s AdSense protection scheme is by no suggests that good and nearly anyone will realize the main points of surmounting the protection mechanism, ironically simply by doing a Google search.</p>
<p> Another, more rudimentary technique is to rent a ton of folks in an exceedingly poor country to click the links on your site. This suggests these individuals will truly sit all day and just click links so you can earn a fortune. They are available from terribly poor countries like India, and they are prepared to try and do therefore for simply $0.fifty an hour.</p>
<p> Of course, there is a problem with this mechanism. Once Google receives a massive range of clicks from one address, the address and the positioning that had the AdSense banner will be banned, and the illicit behavior might even get the fraudster sued.</p>
<p> To prevent this from happening, several folks use a giant variety of proxy servers for the purpose of clicking. These are primarily trojans, located on computers throughout the world (though largely within the US). What&#8217;s even more daunting is that these clicks will seem to originate from an actual computer therefore such scams are really laborious to detect.</p>
<p> And do not assume this happens solely in isolated instances. There is a great deal of illegal activity during this domain.</p>
<p> In fact there&#8217;s therefore abundant that if search engine companies do not increase their security with such programs as AdSense, such criminal behavior might become a lot of become even more damaging.</p>
<p> Google includes a terribly strict policy regarding click fraud, and it&#8217;s sued those employing such techniques in the past. But whereas the search engine large tries its best to minimize the danger of click fraud there is certainly room for a ton of improvement.</p>
<p> It is estimated that additional then twenty% of the clicks that follow an AdSense link are just done in order to induce cash from the person paying for the ad. Some people believe the number of fraudulent clicks to be even twice as large.</p>
<p> There are a nice deal more schemes involving click fraud, like teams of AdSense publishers clicking each other&#8217;s links (that is called &#8220;clicking rings&#8221;, or spamming folks thus that they click such links.</p>
<p> Despite Google still holding click fraud on a leash, the phenomenon is certainly raising issues for the advertisers on AdWords, however despite this advertising with Google&#8217;s AdSense still remains additional profitable for the advertiser, versus traditional untargeted advertising schemes.</p>
<p> There are some means of protection against such schemes and every one advertisers should be savvy enough to use them. Many advertisers opt for to avoid the content network all along for worry of click fraud.</p>
