Cashback Shopping: An Insight To Future
By Samuel Hary
As if online shopping and its ever increasing trends were not enough, this arena welcomes the emergence of a new potential- the concept of cashback portals. Consumers have responded enthusiastically to it and some portals as such have made a name and reputation as well. There is enormous space available for cashback websites to expand and the extreme could be a la big bang.
What exactly is the basic vision of a cashback website? Why should we expect online shopping to be regulated completely via these portals (if the day may come)? How do these websites operate? Why should one shop online via cashback websites (the most critical of these questions perhaps)? These are the few queries which I intend to discuss through this write-up.
Product endorsement and advertisement through various media cost considerable sum of money to the companies which they compensate in the price of their products. This is where these cashback websites have taken a cue from or should I say derived their vision from.
These portals act as an interface in between retailers and online shoppers. Retailers can list themselves on such portals and offer their deals to consumers from there, thus saving up on money spent on advertisements. Once an online shopper clicks
Adding a Blog to Your Ecommerce Website
<p>A blog on your ecommerce website can be an excellent platform for direct communication with your customers. Of course, like every other business decision there are two sides to an <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/od/eCommerce-Marketing-Strategies/a/Does-Your-Ecommerce-Website-Need-A-Blog.htm">ecommerce blog</a>.</p>
<p>If you decide to set up a blog, I recommend the WordPress platform. It is free and open source. But the default themes leave a bit to be desired. That is where a premium theme such as <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://onlinebusiness.about.com/od/buildingyourwebsite/fr/Pagelines-2-0-Review-Build-Your-Wordpress-Website.htm">PageLines 2.0</a> might be preferred.</p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/b/2012/02/22/adding-a-blog-to-your-ecommerce-website.htm">Adding a Blog to Your Ecommerce Website</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/">About.com Ecommerce</a> on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 at 07:42:33.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/b/2012/02/22/adding-a-blog-to-your-ecommerce-website.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/b/2012/02/22/adding-a-blog-to-your-ecommerce-website.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://ecommerce.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://ecommerce.about.com/b/2012/02/22/adding-a-blog-to-your-ecommerce-website.htm&zItl=Adding a Blog to Your Ecommerce Website">Email this</a></p>

Wal-Mart Increases Its Commitment to China
<p>In May 2011, Wal-Mart took a minority stake in the Yihaodian -- a Chinese ecommerce player. Today, Wal-Mart announced that it was hiking its stake to 51%.</p>

Coding Your Own Ecommerce Site? Learn Some CSS
<p>Many people prefer to go in for hosted ecommerce solutions, such as <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://ecommerce.about.com/od/ecommerceresources/fr/Shopify-Review.htm">Shopify</a>, that require little or no coding. But if you are a power user, you can adapt your software to your needs better if you coded the visual parts of it.</p>

Do You Run Your Ecommerce Business As a Home Business?
<p>Some of the largest businesses in the world are ecommerce businesses. So it is interesting that some of the smallest businesses are also ecommerce businesses. That is the new paradigm of business, and in this paradigm ecommerce is the great leveler.</p>
<p>If you run an ecommerce business as a home business, you will have a lot of tax-related questions. My colleague Mindy recently authored some articles to help you out. Here they are:</p>

on the links of the retailers listed on these portals he is redirected to the retailer’s website and if he buys a product he would be liable to claim and hence get the cashback percentage promised by the portal on that particular retailer. The catch is he would be getting the cashback if and only if he went to the retailer’s website its link on cashback portals.
Cashback websites pay back the money to consumers through various payment options (viz. BACS, Pypal, cheques) within a pre-decided time period, the source being a variable percentage of money they receive on every purchase an online shopper does on the retailer’s website via cashback portals. They just pass a percentage of it on to the consumers making it easy and linear for everybody.
The biggest apprehension consumers have is how good these portals are at paying back their share of cashback. To be candid, this is not as simple a question, however these websites benefit from the long term association of their members and hence they would refrain from having a myopic vision of not paying the consumers and loose in the long run.
It’s your association, make it counted. Article Source: http://www.ArticleJoe.com Samuel Hary writes on Cashback Shopping: an insight to future
