The Benefits of Using a PayPal Shopping Cart

Paypal offers website owners a PayPal Shopping Cart Software that has many benefits including inexpensive set-up and processing fees, that it can be integrated well with other payment processors, that it is easy to set-up, you can add product details to it, as well as add multiple options, and use multiple buttons, include your own logo and background, the transactions are secure, and that there are no separate hosting, shopping cart or payment gateway or merchant account required. There is the ability to send money to anyone with an email address, and no need for a customer to already have a Paypal account in order to use the Paypal shopping cart. The Paypal shopping account allows online merchants to quickly, securely and easily accept credit card or PayPal payments online simply be embedding html code into their website.

There are many problems associated with having to have your own merchant account, shared certificate in order to make safe transactions online and the PayPal shopping cart software takes care of all of these problems.

Your customers never have to reveal their financial information when using the PayPal shopping cart so their transactions are always safe and secure. The merchant never sees the financial information of the customer so it gives the customer a sense of security.

Every transaction done through the PayPal shopping cart receives an email confirmation so that there is 100% protection against unauthorized payments being used against your account.

As a merchant using the PayPal Shopping cart on your Website you can now accept any major credit card including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and you can also accept eChecks using the Paypal Shopping Cart.

Your customers do not need to have a Paypal account in order to use your PayPal shopping account, that is another benefit – you are not asking your customer to sign up for anything in order to purchase from you.

Using the Paypal shopping cart system is easy for you and saves you time and money because you don’t have to run around acquiring and setting up separate hosting, shopping cart, payment gateway or merchant accounts because everything you need is already integrated in the PayPal Shopping Cart Software.

Your customers will love the secure payments and how careful Paypal is with their sensitive financial information, which gets securely stored on their servers. All PayPal transactions are covered with 100% protection against unauthorized payments. Best of all PayPal does not charge the merchant setup charges, or monthly charges, and there are no merchant, gateway or shopping cart fees. The payment processing, fraud protection, and merchant tools to accept payments are all included in the PayPal fees that are applied when you accept a payment and if for any reason you do not receive the money from your customer, you don’t pay a thing.

The Paypal shopping cart also integrates well with other payment processors and is easy to set-up.

The PayPal shopping cart software is perfect for any online merchant who has less than 50 items to sell on their Website.

WordPress plugins and some of the popular plugins
There are a large number of plugins available for all WordPress users with the intention to enhance and improve their blogging experience. The number of plugins is increasing from day to day, but not all of the plugins are good for you as some may damage your WordPress installation or even harm your site. Some of the plugins that are worth trying out are:
1. Sideblog- this is a way to post short notes on the sidebar with options such as the number of entries to display, defining the sideblog categories and exclusion from RSS feeds. It is useful to post updates and sharing of links. Some of the options include cool themes, made the sidebars invisible from the search robots or adding feeds to the sideblog.
2. Secure and Accessible Contact Form- this is a plugin with a number of features such as extensive security with 16 individual abuse countermeasures, form an overview page to confirm the general configuration of the plugin, maximum accessibility and usability, option to use your own style sheet or extensive on board documentation library if you ever need any help.

4. Gravatar 2 Plugin- this plugin allows the display Gravatar which is a globally recognized avatar of your commenters. This allows you to distinguish yourself from other users in an online community such as websites, forum or chat rooms. In WordPress, Gravatars are hosted on a single server by encrypting the user’s email address. You can have one avatar for each forum you visit.

How To Get A WordPress API Key For The Akismet WordPress Plugin

How To Get A WordPress API Key For The Akismet WordPress Plugin

With the growing popularity of blogs and the ease to obtain links through comments on blogs, it didn’t take long for programmers to come up with automated tools to blast link packed spam comments to unsuspecting blogs.

Some just turn comments off for their blog but to me that eliminates one of the great features of making your blog interactive for your visitors. Comments can open discussion between the reader and the blogger. Your blog’s visitors can even subscribe to a post’s comments, getting notified of any new comments, keeping your readers coming back.

The WordPress plugin, Akismet checks comments posted on your blog posts against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.

To activate Akismet from your WordPress blog dashboard, click Plugins, scroll down and click Activate next to the WordPress Akismet plugin. After you do that you will see a box near the top of the dashboard that reads:

Akismet is not active. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.

Click the link in the message, and then the Akismet Configuration panel will open. You should then see this in the middle of the screen:

Please enter an API key. (Get your key.)

On the top of that page click the Sign Up tab, fill in your information and if you have a self-hosted blog choose the Just a username, please option.

Be sure to use a good email address in here to get your login information and WordPress API key, click the box to agree to legal junk and click next.

Check your email and click the confirmation link from WordPress to activate your account. You should then see a page that reads, “”Your account is now active!”” Click the login link within the text of that page and login.

You should now be at the WordPress.com site, if so click the dropdown box on the very top right of the page and choose “”Edit Profile””, now you are in the Global Dashboard.

Within the WordPress Global Dashboard you can now see your WordPress API key on the right side of the page. Oh, and by now you should have also got the API key in an email from WordPress also! But you should still edit your profile while you are in the Global Dashboard.

Now its time to place the API key in the Akismet WordPress plugin; go back into your WordPress blog dashboard, click the link on the Akismet WordPress plugin warning box near the top of the dashboard. Paste the WordPress API key in the box and click update options.

If the warning box is not visible check to see if Akismet is activated, click Plugins and look for the status of the plugin on the right. You will notice that all activated plugins are highlighted green. When Akismet is activated you can configure it by clicking Plugins, and look for the Akismet subpanel (white text in the dark blue bar) directly below and to the right of then main panel menu.

Keeping comment spam out while allowing your blog visitors to comment, will not only keep your blog clean but more interactive and help generate more traffic.

all-about-whois-checkers

All about whois checkers

Have you ever thought of knowing who owns a particular site? A whois checker will allow to know the details about the registrant, registrar etc of any domain name that you wish to check with it. This is a good way to contact website owners when you are planning to buy websites. By using whois checkers you’ll able to find the email address of the owner of the site. You’ll be getting this service from many whois sites out there. Almost every whois sites offer these services free of charge.

The features found in one whois checker may vary from the other. Some whois checkers will allow you to search whois information of email ids as well. So, whois checkers are not just for checking the registrant details of just websites. Some even provided ip whois checking facility. For that just enter the ip address that you want to check. And if there are sites hosted with that ip address, then the whois checker will be displaying the sites that are hosted with that ip address.

If you want to be anonymous and don’t want to allow whois checkers to display your address and other details, then you may opt for adding a whois filter while registering a domain name. Namecheap, provides this service free of charge when you register a domain name with them. They will ask you to enter your name, address and other such details but these details won’t be shown publicly through whois checkers if you are opting the above service. Instead of that, some other details will be shown – and when someone replies to the email address that is shown in the whois details, you’ll still be getting those emails to your original email id.

Why should we use an whois checker? Webmasters usually use these kinda tools when they plan to buy a promising site. Suppose you are planning to buy abc.com – what would be the first step that you’ll be taking? How will you be able to get in touch with the person whois currently owning it. It’s a pretty difficult task without using an whois checker.
