B4 I go to bed, I really should make this one last point.
This business is all about on thing now:
--------- RISK MANAGMENT ----------
And if you think about it clearly, break down your businesses like this:
1) Traffic
2) Content
3) Technical
4) Staff/Operations
5) Affiliate systems
6) blah blah blah
7) Billing
The only item in the above list that can instantly kill you/us is "BILLING"
If you just have a merchant account - get an IPSP account today
If you just have one IPSP account, get another one today
Study these next few lines carefully:
1) Verified by Visa
2) Better Billing Practices
3) MasterCard registration
4) Cross Border Acquisition
5) Further reductions in Chargeback ratio's
6) EU and USA Internet Transaction TAXES
