I just came across this innovative new service that may be of interest to a number of our e-commerce customers. The service is called go and pay and is from the All Pay group of companies.

The basics are the customers orders online. Receives a printable barcode that they can then take to one of the 24,000+ Payzone outlets and pay by cash, cheque, credit or debit card.

his type of system allows you to reach the thousands of potential customers who either do not have a bank account and only deal in cash or are weary about entering card details online.

When I have time I regularly read http://www.forumtrends.com as it can provide some good ideas on how to create traffic and earn revenue from forum related sites.

I thought it woudl be good to point out the latest post which provides some facts from Google about earning revenue from your forum using Adsense. I know many of you do run forums and seek to monetize this as best you can.

For those of you keen on SEO this might be worth a note. Google has implemented the use of the NOODP tag as was previously reported for MSN at the URL below

The meta tag means Google will not use your site description present in the DMOZ directory as can sometimes happen.
