Senate “Anti-Phishing” Bill Threatens Domain Owners and Small Business
U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe has introduced, the “Anti-Phishing Consumer Protection Act of 2008” (APCPA). The bill is cosponsored by Senators Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Ted Stevens (R-AK), the man who famously referred to the internet as a “series of tubes.”
This bill is in fact, not truly about phishing so much as it is a direct blow to legitimate domain owners and small business.
For the most direct information you can read the bill itself here (PDF) and review an in-depth response by the Internet Commerce Association(ICA).
Closer Look at the Fine Print
The good (bad) stuff starts on page 6 of the document and continues to completely destroy domain WHOIS privacy as we know it today. This section alone should be encouragement enough to fight against the passage of this bill.
(c) WHOIS Database Information Accuracy-
(2) DOMAIN NAME REGISTRARS, REGISTRIES AND OTHER AUTHORITIES – It is unlawful for a domain name registrar, registry or other domain name authority, directly or indirectly, via proxy or any other method, to replace or materially alter the contents of, or to shield, mask, block, or otherwise restrict access to, any domain name registrant’s name, physical address, telephone number, facsimile number, electronic mail address, or other identifying information in any WHOIS database or any other database of a domain name registration authority if such registrar, registry, or domain name authority has received written notice, including via facsimile or electronic mail at such entity’s facsimile number or electronic mail address of record, that the use of such domain name is in violation of any provision of this Act.

Wise Words
Declan McCullagh of CNET writes: “It contains 31 pages of new regulations that could raise the cost of doing business for legitimate companies, but will do little to stop the malcontents behind phishing attacks…; Remember, phishing is already a crime.”

How To Increase Sales During The Holiday Season November 13, 2007

Holidays bring out the free-spending qualities in most people. Smart entrepreneurs need to take advantage of the season to reap maximum in sales at their sites or blogs.
Offer An Attractive Discount
Because the holidays are a peak shopping period, seasoned shoppers will expect to encounter discounts during this time. So why not go ahead and offer just that? If your discount is a genuine discount, word-of-mouth will travel fast and you will be surprised at the sort of volumes that you are capable of attracting.
Special Package Deals
You can do even better and combine several products or services into one special package selling at a very special price. This means the total sales price should be lower than if the client were to shop for each item separately. The advantage of this selling strategy is that you can take advantage of it to get rid of slow-moving items.
A Free Bonus Can Really Do It
Offer a free bonus or gift with every purchase made at your store during this festive season. The gift need not cost you much, in fact the less it costs the better. All you need to do is make sure that your free gift has a high-perceived value to your clients and customers. Actually, you will require more creativity than money for this one.
Express Delivery Without The Cost
Nothing turns on clients like quick delivery of the items or products that they have purchased. If you offer fast free delivery, then the chances are high that you will attract lots of new customers and clients.
Buy now and pay later
This is yet another attractive offer that takes care of the worry many shoppers have about spending too much money during the holiday season. You will make many sales that would have otherwise not made. You can give them the option of being billed later or billing their credit card later.
Conclusion
Always take full advantage of the holiday season to generate lots of extra sales for your website and online business. You will find that any effort you put in is swiftly rewarded with sales that you would have otherwise missed.
