Business credit cards are available from a wide variety of sources - and with a wide range of terms and conditions. Some are secured on assets of one kind or another and some are available on an unsecured basis. As with all forms of finance, you need to know and understand the exact conditions under which the credit is being made available. One thing to look out for is early repayment penalties. Even if you do have the means to repay the credit early it could cost you extra in terms of a fee or penalty interest.

Secured business credit cards are credit cards that are backed up by a piece of collateral or multiple pieces of collateral, such as the business itself, or an asset or many assets owned by the business or proprietor. This means that if the cardholder defaults on the credit card, action can be taken by the credit card company wherein the asset or assets are seized. This means the business or proprietor can lose something (or everything) that is valuable to him or her. Therefore, it is wise to make sure you can pay your credit card debts before applying for a secured business credit card.

The positive side of a business credit card is low rates. The rates on these cards are low for two reasons. Number one, the card is for a business. Number two, the credit card company profits on the seizing of assets of those who do not or cannot pay off a credit card bill.

According to a new report from eMarketer, the popularity of VoIP telephony services will continue to see significant growth for at least the next four years.

The number of VoIP users in the US will climb from 5.2 million this year, to 32.6 million in 2010, eMarketer predicts. The report attributes the majority of this growth to the much lower costs of VoIP when compared to other telephone plans.

“With most VoIP offers ranging from $15 to $30 per month for unlimited local and long distance calls across the U.S. and Canada, price will be the primary driver for the VoIP industry in the short term,” the report predicts. “Those that survive the fierce price competition are likely to be companies able to offer advanced voice features and other service bundles.”

In the mean time, the level of pricing competition will likely present the biggest benefits to online media and advertising companies. Last month, broadband phone provider, Vonage was the biggest single online advertiser, serving a total of 16.6 million ad impressions, according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Telecom giant, Verizon, which also offers VoIP service, was also contributed a lot to the internet marketing mediascape, with 6.2 million impressions served.

Internet news releases are the key to getting a quick flow of traffic to your web site.

Whilst Internet news releases can drive traffic, very few web sites use them as part of their Internet marketing strategy, as they think they’re too expensive and just for larger companies.

Internet news releases are for ALL companies, large or small, and they are surprisingly cost effective. They are similar to the press releases sent to newspapers and magazines - only we’re using the more cost effective version - web, or Internet news releases.

Press Releases - Why they don’t Work

A press release is of very little value to you - a web address in the newspaper or on the radio, requires the potential site visitor to write the information down and visit later, when they’re at their computer. It simply doesn’t work like that

If they’re not already at their computer, looking for what you have to offer, and able to get it by simply clicking a link, then they’re not interested!

What they do

A web news release can be similar to an article, but it’s put together differently, as it’s targeted at the journalists that provide content for Google News, Yahoo News, MSN News, etc.

Nothing released onto the Internet ever goes away, so you may get traffic over a long time span, but we are aiming for a lot of traffic over a short time span - we expect most of the traffic will arrive within 3 to 7 days of submission to the various news release web sites.

Like keyword articles, a news release is re-distributed via .XML feeds, so they will also appear in blogs, and in the news section of a wide variety of web sites.

Get a Traffic Surge

The web, or Internet news release has a shorter life span than an article, but the traffic can come in a large surge, whereas an article will bring in a steady stream of visitors over a long time span.

A good news release, which catches the imagination of news websites, can see traffic of tens or even hundreds of thousands.

How to Write a Good News Release

Of course, your news release needs to be of interest to viewers to get visits to your website, so what makes a good one?

Something topical that people are interested in

Something that has a high perceived value, that you are giving away for free

Something that you have that is unique

The fact is, most websites can put out something to catch the public’s imagination, but they haven’t thought about it!

A good Internet marketing company can draft, and distribute a web release that will pull traffic.

Cost Effective

The cost of an Internet news release is very low - not the $2,000 US dollars charged by many press release agencies, in most cases it’s just a few hundred dollars!

Targeting news release sites is one of the most cost effective, if not the most cost effective way of marketing on the Internet.

The UK Prime Minister has published very last rescue plan to reinforce the stability of the banking system, in order to push lending.

The monetary policy plans of British government are mainly focused on recovering the nation and not the pound. As a result the pound will probably continue to lose value. Markets will witness the sterling going up but short term forecasts for Sterling is not very rosy.

Recent stats amongst financial analysts confirmed that most probably the CBE will reduce borrowing costs to 1.25 points from the current 2 %, taking the central bank interest rate to the lowest since 1694

This means a lower return for the city investors who then move their funds from Sterling to a currency with a higher return, because of the decline of the pound.

Some policymakers have stated the bank will cut bank interest rates to zero and opt for easy solutions, by producing more sterling to buoy the recession. This seems to tie in nicely with Gordon Brown’s plans of spending their way out of the recession problem, not exactly what majority of European countries decisions, hence a possible explanation for the massive fall in Pound against to the and United States Dollar.

The first thing to understand about how credit cards affect your credit score is, your score is only affected when the company issuing the card reports to one of the three major credit bureau’s, these being Equifax, TransUnion, and Expirian. Most Issuing banks report to all three however a few secured credit card companies do not. If you are looking to rebuild your credit by means of a secured credit card then it is important to find out if the issuing company is reporting to the credit bureaus.

Credit History
When a credit card issuer’s reports to your credit report you are establishing a track record so to speak. This track record allows lending institutions to see how well you are able to pay back debt. The idea behind it is, if you have paid back what you owed in the past chances are you will be able to pay back what you owe in the future. This is a simple definition however there are many facets to this picture. To illustrate it think of it this way.The credit bureau’s are like your teacher, you credit score is like a report card, and your credit history is what you are graded on. One part of your credit history you are graded on is your credit to debt ratio, this aspect can be impacted greatly by credit cards. The following will explain how.

Credit cards and credit to debt ratios
Let’s say that you have two credit cards, and each one has a limit of $10,000. Now let’s say that you consistently carry a balance of $5,000 on one of the cards. With two credit cards, your debt to available credit ratio is $20,000/$5,000 [total credit available/total debt]. This means that you would be using 25% of your overall available credit; this is a good place to be. Now if you where to close one credit card, your ratio would now be $10,000/$5,000, which would lower your overall credit score since you would now be using 50% of your available credit.

One way to improve your credit score with credit cards
In light of the above paragraph could a person improve their credit simply by gaining another credit card? Yes. For example if you had one credit card with a limit of $5000 and you carried a consistent balance of $2500 on it then your debt to available credit ratio would be $5,000/$2,500 [total credit available/total debt] This means that you would be using 50% of your overall available credit however if you gained a second credit card with a limit of $5,000 and put a balance of $500 then your debt to available credit ratio would be $10,000/$3,000 which means that you would only be using 30% of your available credit and your credit score would improve.

Why some are considered Risky
Basically in the eyes of the lending institution if you are always using all of your available credit then you fall into a group of people that might be over extending themselves and according to history people who over extend them selves have a greater likelihood of defaulting on money they owe, thus if you put yourself into this group your score will go down. Although the above is true there other factors, for example if you have too many credit cards then you could be seen as having the ability to be at risk in the future if your income or capacity to pay is not equal to your credit limit. And if you don’t have any credit cards than you are not establishing credit history at least not with credit cards.

Watch out because this can hurt you
Many credit card issuers allow card holders a grace period. This means that if you pay you bill every month in full you will not be charged a percentage rate or APR. If you have a card with a credit limit of $5,000 and every month you charge $1,500 but you pay it off every month in full you will avoid finance charges but it could be hurting your credit score why. Because when credit card issuers report to you credit report all they report is how much you owe and that you pay on time not the fact that you pay your balance in full each month. So on paper it looks like you always have a balance of $1,500 and that you never pay it off. It might be wise to switch between cards every few months so that you can show a balance of zero from time to time, this will help your credit score. And if you are planning to buy a house, pay off your credit card balance a few months in advance so that you have a good debt to available credit ratio as this could save you tens of thousands of dollars over the course of time on your mortgage.

The Federal Trade Commission has failed to curb SPAM in the last two-years since the CAN-SPAM Act was introduced. There is slightly less SPAM then before but this is hardly due to any efforts by the FTC. More so we can thanks folks like Bill Gates and Microsoft than anyone else for aggressively going after the SPAMMERS. When the George W. Bush, President of the United States of America signed into law the CAN-SPAM Act, he assigned authority to the FTC to go after illegal SPAM.

The Federal Trade Commission put its best people on the problem and what did they do? They held meetings and spent months and months defining what SPAM is. They spent time holding meetings around the country inviting Lawyers and start-up companies to figure out what should be done. We all know what happened? They finally came up with a definition and then filed 60 cases which is not even .1 % of the number of high profile SPAMMERS. We now find out that they embellished their complaints in court and attacked companies, which really were not the part of the larger problem. Why? Because they needed to make it look like they were doing something.

Today we have more SPAM now coming from overseas, which the CAN-SPAM cannot control. So what has the Federal Trade Commission been doing for two-years with regards to SPAM? Not a darn thing, but waste our taxpayers money and do a Public Relations Road Show to make them look good, but why bother? Well, next years budget will appropriations are coming. I recommend we cut the FTC budget by 50% this coming year and another 50% the following year of what is left. Why? Because they are a waste of panty space and blowing our taxpayer’s money on public relations and specially placed stories in the media to make themselves look good.

Let’s fire every Federal Trade Commission employee who worked on the SPAM issue in the last three years and if they are lawyers revoke their licenses. All should be let go without extended benefits or pensions. It is borderline treason the their assertion that they have taken a bite out of SPAM, all they have done is proven they cannot do anything very well and emboldened the SPAMMERS. Those who are the biggest in the SPAM area know the FTC is incompetent and hide under cover of darkness and laugh at all the media stories about how the FTC is attacking SPAM? Let’s face it the FTC have failed and they need to get the axe. No more wasted taxpayer’s money should be allotted for this agency. Think on it.
