Happy Shopping
Posted by maria linda on 12:20 AM
Comparison shopping is the trend of the times and it is gearing up its demand among the recent day bargain hunters. The essential lower than the price evaluation is very simple, it is about analysing and selecting the best and the most cost useful deal out of all offered in the market.A news item intelligence that at least two thirds of the association websites are using the financial price evaluation websites. However only 20% of them have actually used them to buy their price. The above fact shows that there has been an knowledge and people have turned towards association shopping. But since, its not a very old concept and is still setting its feet on the World wide Web, so the consumers are rather taking it insecurely. But overall, the results of this trend are inspiring enough to be happy and it is promising as another concept that facilitates our shopping needs.Price comparison shops are not very hard to find, In fact, you can find them very easily on the Internet. There may be some general price association portals and some enthusiastic comparison shops where the comparison of a specific vertical is taken into reflection and the comparison is made accordingly. For instance, you can find comparison websites on Mobiles, finance and travel in profusion and can visit there in order to find out the latest offers and price comparison, from where you are able to find the best buy. Generally, you can find a lot of mixture in these contrast portals so that you can choose out of a number of options made available to you. But you must not try to jump upon the easiest option. It is better to study about the pros and cons of a specific product and then buying it, even if looks more expensive than the other cheaper options.

How to Make Money With Shopping Networks
Posted by maria linda on 2:20 AM
What is a Shopping Partner Program?
Shopping.com and Shopzilla.com have set up programs allowing the publisher to post products via Product (Data) Feed…and earn a commission based on a Pay-Per-Click model and total revenue collected by the shopping network on redirects sent over. Let’s take a look at this:
From a publisher perspective, this is how I would go about it:
* Pick an Original Domain Name: I recommend selection a niche market, such as “baby strollers” and picking a name connected to these items. Creating too general of a site will cause you to be un-focused in advertising. Even something personal like: MyBabyStrollers.com will work.
* Build an Original Design: Neither of these programs except “reflect” sites…so to raise your changes of being established, create an original site. Here are few examples: www.SmartBuy.com, www.Speakers-Subwoofers.com. I’ve seen some good and bad designs using these programs…so, be sure to keep in mind all landing page optimization techniques we’ve talked about.
* Find a QUALITY Traffic Source: I wouldn’t advise you to start the site off as a “shopping” related website. My choice would be to blog about the product you want to offer. Both programs require an existing traffic base before acceptance into the program. Don’t solely rely on organic traffic because both networks require a fair amount of users based in the country you signed up under. For instance, USA publishers need to make sure their traffic is…from the United States. Keep in mind, having TRAFFIC is not the only key. Make sure you target a demographic who buy products online and are willing to click around on your site. Creating a review site giving customers to leave comments about products is a great way to develop user generated content…if you’re using Word Press on your site (which I would reccomend) – a great plugin allowing product reviews….WpReviewSite.com
* Pick which program fits you: There may be other programs out there, but right now were looking at Shopping.com and Shopzilla.com. Shopping.com has a higher Alexa rank than Shopzilla.com, so you may want to consider that when choosing. However, the traffic you receive will depend more on the marketing done to your site. But, the more successful the individual engine is…the larger selection base of products. Look out how each program pay’s their publishers. For instance, Shopping.com pay’s the affiliate about 80% of what they charge their advertisers…view the screen shot for a sample model. Keep in mind, you’re not guaranteed to be accepted into the program.
* Utlizing Product Feeds: There are several ways to go about this: Each merchant who signs up with a shopping network to advertise their products must upload a .csv or .txt “feed” with all of their listings in a desired format (there are FTP option) Once accepted into the partner program, the publisher than has the option of selecting products and downloading them to be placed on their original site. If you’re not an “accomplished” programmer…both of these programs have partnered with: DataFeedScripts.net. Data Feed Scripts works with both of these programs while just requiring a few changes to your site code. According to their site, it’s easy to install, fully customizable..and search engine friendly.
* Carefully Pick Your Products: Even though you’ve decided on a niche…there are multiple product lines within each category. Some may choose to run Gerber strollers over McLaren. Shopping.com gives several ideas in picking your products: Find product reviews, read product reviews and compare prices of selected products. Since the networks are paying the publisher a percentage of what the merchant pays…it’s smart to pick items requiring a high CPC. Refer back to the previous screen shot for an example of this.

Use Amazon’S Shopping Cart
Posted by maria linda on 1:24 AM
Amazon’s shopping cart makes shopping easier. The shopping cart will be stored at Amazon while it is in use. However, after 90 days of inactivity carts will be deleted. Carts that are empty will be deleted in only seven days. Your customers will knowledge a more complete experience with the Amazon shopping cart and it is highly suggested to facilitate purchases and please your customers. Additionally, you will be able to earn commission through Amazon’s Associates program. That’s worthwhile and can help you bring in more money.
Building a Shopping Cart

They will then create a personalized shopping cart for you with current prices and item descriptions. There will be other functions that you can use later to add additional products or manage the current products. Once a customer has finished their order then the shopping cart is transferred through a URL to Amazon where the sale is completed.
A remote cart is being created that is really separate from the customer’s cart that could exist on Amazon’s site. The remote cart is consider to be own by your remote application although it is an Amazon cart.
Shopping Cart Actions
There are various shopping cart actions that are available. The first one is creating a cart. When a customer adds an item to their cart a remote shopping cart is established. Then, as the customer adds products to his cart they will be added based on their ease of use. Out of stock or discontinued items will simply be saved fur future reference.
retrieve the contents of a cart is also an option and this simply retrieves the list of items that are in a particular cart but that has not been submitted for purchase through Amazon. Amazon’s e-commerce customer service provides an option to allow cart retrieval.
Modifying the cart, clearing items from the car, are all options, too. Finally, the shopping cart must be transferred to Amazon via the supplied URL so customers may complete their purchase. At this point in time the items that were saved and the items in the cart will be merged into the Amazon shopping cart and the remote shopping cart won’t be accessible anymore.
The process sounds quite confusing, but it is actually flawless when it is put into use. Customers won’t be confused at all and all of the cart transferring from remote to Amazon will take place behind the scenes. This is a highly recommended method and websites looking for a shopping cart should definitely consider the cart from Amazon.

Which eBay Shops Can You Trust for Buying Wholesale Computer Parts?
Posted by maria linda on 12:29 AM
What's great about eBay? It has the world's major selection of stuff to buy! What's the greatest problem with eBay? It's hard to know who you can trust! Well, with these few simple tips, we think you can find the best eBay suppliers of wholesale computer parts and laptop accessories.
Isn't everyone who runs an eBay shop reliable you may be saying to yourself. Because eBay has the feedback system and will not allow bad sellers. Oh, if only worked that way! Yes, the feedback system on eBay is great for making sure the eBay shop you ordered from sends you what you requested. However, that really says little about the quality of the goods you will receive from that eBay seller. Fakes or poor value products are very common but hard to notice right away. And with eBay's system of pushing buyers to give feedback quickly, many people end up giving positive feedback on most purchases when later on they have nothing but misgivings.
What does feedback tell you about an ebay shop? Well, it does tell you how quickly a supplier sends out the products, their pre-arrival communication, and other initial order information. The major problem is the post product influx experience. What positive feedback doesn't indicate; how long the product will work for (build quality), if it is fake or genuine, post order warranty or return experience when there is a problem, and likelihood of your getting a good quality item.
So how to know if the eBay shop you pick when you are buying wholesale computer parts or laptop accessories will treat you right and supply you with high quality products? Here are some things to consider; Are they associated with a factory? Normally factories and their authorized representatives will try to preserve their brand reputation by only sending out new, original condition items. How long have they been on eBay? High feedback numbers are nice, high feedback rating is nice, but more importantly, how long have they been selling on eBay? Their length of time in business means a lot when it comes to finding a good partner on eBay. Do they have local stock in your country? Local is an indication that they are serious about doing business and are in this business for the long term.
