Keeping Your Identity Safe Online
We live in a time when using computers for purchases, bill paying, and banking are becoming more and more the norm. Broadband and constant, fast connectivity are the accepted standards. Given just how much computers are a part of our daily lives, you should find a couple of recent pieces of news very disturbing. A government survey in the U.K. found that 12% of respondents had suffered from online fraud in 2006, yet fewer than half of the respondents believed they should be responsible for protecting their personal information online. The other item was a story in the New York Times that stated thousands of Social Security numbers are posted online by states and counties. Of course, along with them you often find addresses, dates of birth, and maiden names. It's like offering someone's identity on a platter to thieves.

AuctionBytes Feature: First Item Sold Online
Do you remember the first item you ever sold online? Let us know by sending an email to ina@auctionbytes.com and we may publish your story. Today we hear from Beth who is singing a new tune since her first eBay sale. In February of 2000, I took a short evening course on selling on eBay at a local junior college. Our project was to sell something - I had an old book, 1898 called Health and Science by Mary Baker Eddy. I paid 10 cents and sold it for $100. Four years later, I needed money and tried it again, this time with vintage music. My second "first" sale was an album by James Taylor. Since then, I changed the site name from Aunt Theresa's Attic to Aunt Theresa's Music since old music is my main product. I added a store and most of my sales now come from that venue.
Travel Search Marketing: Time for a Test Drive?
For whatever reason, the travel search space is not getting the same attention that local, social, shopping and multimedia verticals are these days. But the funny thing is, travel search is all of those things, isn't it? It's the result of all of those verticals combined. And travel search, one of the oldest verticals within the industry, has recently been seeing a surge in popularity. With the intersection of applications from the other verticals and the trend towards specialized search features, travel search is becoming more robust, more complicated, and is offering more opportunities to search marketers. Putting a number on the growth of the travel search industry is fairly difficult, since it's a category with many moving parts. The Top 100 'Travel' category of Web sites shuffles constantly from month to month.
