ADSENSE NONSENSE MAKES NO SENSE

Well I must be one of millions of bloggers and website owners who have Google ads or adsense on their sites. While some people dispute that its worth having these, I decided to go with it when I started my Italy site and then subsequently with my wineblog
http://www.wineloversworld.blogspot.com
which is on its way, through votes, […]

These are the criteria:
1. ease of use, functionality and options.
2. service level, charges/cost and market share.
3. security, support and reliability.
4. ethical, regulated and financially sound company.

Investment choices and ethics

I remember as an investment broker not so long ago, my clients and peers talking about ethical investments. Exercising your ethical choice in investments was becoming mainstream and even clients were talking about it.
Contrast this with the Elliot Spitzer case recently. He didn’t seem to care that prostitution and the crimes always linked with […]

Should we be worried about the markets?

Should we be worried about the financial markets? Well I think so. When companies like Lehman Bros lose 50% of their share value for the first time in their very long history, and then start scrabling around trying to raise money on the stock exchange. When major banks are being bailed out by reserve […]

Alluvail Gold for sale?

Here’s one for  all you gold people.  Just another of the many messages to arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis,
which  make little or no sense.
So the first person who can write in and tell me what this scheme is about or not, will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon in 2020. The […]

Well there comes that moment, for example: the eminent arrival of June, when you are forced to confront how you are doing on your goals and resolutions that you made in January.
Are you earning more, saving more, and eating less,
or are you earning the same, saving […]

Another virtual way to pay, or rather, to raise real capital.

A warm wish to all those on b5media, and of course our readers, remembering the fallen on this Memorial Day 2008. May all those who served and are serving, be remembered. Here’s the link to participate http://www.nationalmemorialdayparade.com   Last week I wrote on web money http://www.digitalmoneyworld.com/webmoney-online-payments/  and  it seems that every month, there’s a new way to pay on-line. Are these virtual […]

webmoney online payments

The April issue of  DGC mag featured an article on the growth of the online payment company web money, and since we have been focusing on paypal, moneybookers and others this month, I thought it would be interesting to see how moneyweb shapes up, and what features they offer compared to the others, I covered in my […]

Paypal vs major banks

Paypal at present has over 120 million customers that use its services. Customers ranging from large companies who do thousands of transactions to individuals who just want to occasionally send and receive money on line. So how does paypal measure up to the banks we have been using for 100’s of years?
Well, at first glance, Paypal may seem to be […]

Online secure payments and data sharing.

This link on Paypal customers and their payment preferences, ties in rather nicely with a theme we’ve had here on digitalmoneyworld in the last week. That of security, and in particular, data security with any online payment system.
Weve spoken about scams, both with traditional banks in my last post, and also companies like moneybookers and the spammers and […]
