READING OF CRITERIAL I
by Sally Hawksmore
Internet shops, banks and software companies are trying to find more ways to make
you buy when you log on. Now they are offering electronic cash, and e-cash. What
are they?
Credit cards and cheques, when used for Internet transactions, are sometimes called
electronic cash. But real electronic cash – currency that has no representation in the
real world – is a new development and is not yet widespread. How does it work?
You set up an account with a bank and then, when you buy something online, you
authorise the transfer of your money from the account to the store. With this method,
you don’t have to use a credit card.
Pure e-cash is different to ‘electronic cash’ because you use it just like cash in the
real world. You withdraw e-cash from a bank account to your computer, and it is
then yours to spend when and how you want. When you use it, the vendor does not
need your credit card or bank details. When the vendor receives your e-cash, they
can put it in their own bank account, or spend it themselves.
Security is a growing worry for those buying over the internet. Will your personal
details be safe? Or will dishonest hackers steal your electronic information, and use
it to spend thousands of pounds, dollars or yen at your expense?
It isn’t just the buyers who need to be cautious. An online music shop in London,
UK, sent a rare and very expensive electric guitar to a Japanese buyer, only to realise
too late that the buyer's credit card was stolen.
Many companies are working on ways to make internet transactions safer, and now
Microsoft and IBM have announced with Visa and Mastercard a standard they call
‘Secure Electronic Transaction’. SET is meant to guarantee secure credit card
transactions over the internet.
Some people wonder whether the same attention should be given to real world
transactions. ‘You happily hand over your credit card to a shopkeeper for him to take
an imprint of it,’ says Trevor Parker, a security analyst, ‘which seems very risky. And
giving credit card details over the internet is probably safer than reading them out
over the phone.’

MARKETING IN INTERNET (I)
How to be a
Top-10 on the
Internet
If you register your pages in the search engines without some prior advise, your page
may end up lost behind all your competitors. It happened to me, when registering my
first page with the search engines.
There are many things you can do with your web page to index good in the search
engines. You will find the most important information in this page, all easy and simple.
Search engines have different methods to decide where your page should go, either
on top, or the bottom. In order to improve their sites, and avoid spammers (people
who cheat when submitting their pages to be placed ahead of you), they take many
consideration to rate your page. The big problem is that they all have different
standards.
Many search engines will use a ROBOT to examine the SOURCE of your page (source
is the html program used to build your web page). The robot will come to your page
and read the title, meta tags, notes in the graphics areas, the links on your page, and
the text in the web page. The robot is looking for a repetition of words, so it will place
your web page where it belongs, depending on the words they find in your page.
The META TAGS are a hidden note that you can find in the SOURCE of any web page.
You can see the SOURCE in your browser, by going to the top, press VIEW, and then
SOURCE or DOCUMENT SOURCE. They are usually between the tags of "/title" and
"/head". The most important meta tags are:
Now, in the "keywords" area, you have to find the keywords that "YOUR CUSTOMERS
WOULD USE WHEN LOOKING FOR YOU" in a search engine. It's very important to find
out what keywords they would use, they are not always the same as the ones YOU
would use. I suggest picking maybe 4 or 5 keywords. If you pick too many keywords,
your meta tags are spreading out too much and won't be efficient.
DO NOT use the most popular keywords: Real estate, web page, computers, etc.
The competition may be too much. Try to find something different, new or unusual
about your page and business, and go with it. Also, use phrases, usually people will
23
type 2 or 3 words when using the search engines, think what your customers would
type. Thesaurus may help you find some more words.
Last year AltaVista would let you repeat the same keyword up to 7 times in the "META
NAME="Keywords" area, but that would be consider spamming in others. This year
AltaVista accepts 3 REPETITIONS for each keyword, so do not put any more.
Let's say you sell Cars & Parts. Then in the " Meta Keyword" area you write:
"Autoparts" 3 times and "auto" 3 times, this can be considered a repetition of the
word "Auto" 6 times. Then you are out.
All the keywords should be in PLURAL. Some say you have to put comas in between,
others say you shouldn't. Well, I'm not really sure who is right. Only a few search
engines will read and use the "META NAME="Keywords", but since AltaVista, Infoseek
and the arrogant people working at Hotbot do, it is important to have them.
"META NAME="Description", this is what usually (not always), will show as the
description of your page in the search engine. This is what your customers will see
first, and in a few seconds, decide if it's worthy to visit you.
So, do a short description that will attract your customers to your page. Also, some
search engines will accept 15, or 25 words; and then cut you off. My advice is to
have a short description maybe of 10 or 12 words, "Period", then, next sentence a
second description of 10 more words. So if you get cut off, the first half will be enough
to create curiosity to your customers, and lure them in. You have to put some
keywords here also, without sounding boring and repetitive.
The TITLE
This will show in the top left area of your browser. This is even more important than
the META TAGS. The title of your page has to have the main keywords that your
customers will use in the search engines.
Many webmasters repeat their keywords so much, that their titles are more than a
dozen words long.
Now, let's say you sell Auto Parts wholesale. Your title could be:
Auto Parts Wholesalers, parts for trucks, motorcycles, used cars parts, rebuilt
used & new parts all models cars.
That is 17 words, and plenty of keywords. Now let's say your competition have this
title in their page:
The first title is good if you only have one page, and I wouldn't write more than 9
words (keywords). So if someone is looking for used parts, or used truck parts, there
is a chance you may be in the first 2 or 3 pages of the list.
Now, if someone is searching for "auto parts wholesale", the second title would come
up much better, since it only has 3 words, and is exactly what the search is. Your title
is not as spread out as the long one. This is good if you have several pages, so each
will have a specific name, i.e. "wholesalers auto / cars parts", "used trucks parts,
wholesalers", "used cars parts, wholesalers", "motorcycles used parts wholesalers".
24
There, instead of having one page, you have four pages; each will be an entrance to
your site. I have about 70 pages at the moment, in a few months I will get up to 100.
Some of them come up number one in search engines like AltaVista.
The same as the "META NAME="Description", your title also has to tell your visitors
what your web page is all about. A few search engines, like WebCrawler, only shows
your web page title on the screen, and that title has to persuade your visitors to come
to see your page

STARTING BUSINESS
READING DEL CRITERIO III
Businesses are structured in different ways to meet different needs. The simplest form
of business is called an individual proprietorship. The proprietor owns all of the
property of the business and is responsible for everything.
This means that the proprietor gets to keep all of the profits of the business, but also
must pay any debts. The law recognizes no difference between the owner and the
business.
Another kind of business is the partnership. Two or more people go into business
together. An agreement is usually needed to decide how much of the partnership each
person controls. There are limited liability partnerships. These have full partners and
limited partners. Limited partners may not share as much in the profits, but they also
do not have as many responsibilities.
Doctors, lawyers and accountants often form partnerships to share the profits and
risks of doing business. A husband and wife can form a business partnership.
Partnerships can end at any time. But the partnerships and individual proprietorships
exist only as long as the owners are alive.
The most complex kind of business organization is the corporation. Corporations are
designed to have an unlimited lifetime.
Corporations can sell stock as a way to raise money. Stock represents shares of
ownership in a company. Investors who buy stock can trade their shares or keep them
as long as the company is in business. A company might use some of its earnings to
pay dividends as a reward to shareholders. Or it might reinvest the money into the
business.
If shares lose value, investors can lose all of the money they paid for their stock. But
shareholders are not responsible for the debts of the corporation. A corporation is
recognized as an entity -- its own legal being, separate from its owners.
A board of directors controls corporate policies. The directors appoint top company
officers. The directors might or might not hold shares in the corporation.
38
Corporations can have a few major shareholders. Or ownership can be spread among
the general public. But not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock.
There are nonprofit groups that are also organized as corporations
