Next Revolution in Search Engines or Evolutionary Dead End?
Advolution, The Next Revolution in Search Engines, LaunchesAdvolution, the next revolution in search engines, has launched a third-generation search engine and affiliate network that radically changes the underlying economics of search engine marketing.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 28, 2006 -- Advolution (http://www.advolution.com), the next revolution in search engines, has launched a third-generation search engine and affiliate network that radically changes the underlying economics of search engine marketing.
Google and Yahoo have shown that the amount an advertiser is willing to pay to be associated with a search term correlates well with how valuable that listing will also be for the searcher. However, under their pay-per-click systems, advertisers have to pay for every click and are increasingly victims of "click fraud" (competitors clicking on the ads to deplete funds or search engine affiliates clicking on them to make money).
Under Advolution's pay-for-position system, advertisers pay only once to have a listing associated with a search term. Search results are ranked by the dollar amount paid for each listing. In case of a tie, the older listing takes precedence. Advertisers (and searchers) receive the benefit of pay-per-click without having to pay for each click.
Advolution listings are similar to the search results at other search engines, except that with Advolution advertisers have full control over:
* How their listing looks.
* What search terms it is associated with.
* Where it shows up in the search results.
ABOUT ADVOLUTION
Advolution provides a compelling new search engine alternative for searchers, advertisers, and affiliate partners ("the benefits of pay-per-click without the actual pay-per-click"). Searchers receive quality Advolution listings and can also click through for additional results from other search engines. Advertisers free themselves from having to pay for each and every click. An affiliate program with a generous 50% revenue share is also available. Additional information: http://www.advolution.com

Monthly Domain Name Sales
DomainMart Launches Monthly Synchronized Domain Name SalesThe patent pending mechanism provides monthly synchronized listings that enables the sale of a large number of domain names simultaneously, brings prices back to earth, and provides participants various exchange mechanism options.
Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2006 -- DomainMart, a leading provider of quantitative and analytical domain-name services, announced today the launch of a new marketplace designed to remedy the shortcomings of domain name markets.
Domain name marketplaces are out of synch with the needs of buyers and sellers, says Alex Tajirian, DomainMart CEO. Who goes on to add that, One of the major problems with the existing design is that ask prices are out of whack with reality.
The patent pending mechanism provides monthly synchronized listings that enables the sale of a large number of domain names simultaneously, brings prices back to earth, and provides buyers and sellers the option to trade through a public auction, or privately through a sealed-bid auction, or through custom-tailored agreements.
We use eBays infrastructure to ensure the highest level of security, stability, and privacy, says Tajirian. Also, people want to stick with the familiar eBay. They dont want to learn the workings of multiple sites, especially when a superior alternative exists, adds Tajirian.
Additional features of the new marketplace design include:
· Making the list of domain names public in advance to provide buyers the necessary time to develop their purchase strategy.
· Bringing ask prices back to earth by assigning each listed domain name one of three Value Ratings: buy, strong buy, and excellent buy. The value recommendation is based on the difference between the reserve price and the appraised intrinsic value of the domain name. The appraisal uses DomainMarts statistical model, which is driven by a database of over 3,500 publicly available purchase prices over the last two years.
· Providing information on the value drivers of each listed domain name, such as the pay-per-click (PPC) rates and search volume for each domains implicit keywords.
· Granting exchange participants the option to keep purchase price private through sealed-bid auctions.
· Notifying clients when domain names with their desired characteristics are listed.
About DomainMart
DomainMart is an industry leader in providing domain-name secondary-market products and consulting services, including appraisal, escrow, private investment management accounts, protection, valuation, and parking traffic monetization management since 1996.

There Is Unknown Information On Mesothelioma Treatments
While there are a number of treatment options available, often there is a great deal of unknown information regarding what the procedures available are and how they work. To that end, JustMeso.com ( http://www.JustMeso.com ) has provided comprehensive information about the disease, its causes, and now the treatment options available to those diagnosed at its website.
The site explains in great detail the many traditional and new treatments available to those diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, such as surgical solutions, radiation, and chemotherapy. JustMeso.com breaks down each category into its component procedures as well as providing information on the extent of a procedure, its level of invasiveness, as well as an analysis of the costs and benefits of each specific procedure. This analysis includes summaries of information on the effectiveness and the scope of the effectiveness of a particular treatment option.
Combined, the information compiled by JustMeso.com in their treatment options section ( http://www.justmeso.com/treatment/ ), provides those diagnosed as well as their loved ones with a comprehensive resource from which they can attain a deeper understanding of the diseases as well as assess either own situation in light of the present treatment options available. This information can prove valuable insofar as it will give individuals an excellent overview of the options available to them. Through this information, individuals affected by mesothelioma can make more educated decisions about their own situation as well as be better situated to provide support for others. Of course, none of the information on JustMeso should be taken as medical advice, and a person should always consult their physician before taking treatment.
JustMeso.com ( http://www.JustMeso.com ) is based in the United States. It was created with the intent of providing a single resource for individuals seeking information about malignant mesothelioma.

New Search Engine Indexes Only Mesothelioma Sites
Mesothelioma Search Engine To Consolidate Medical and Legal Information
New lung cancer search engine provides information on medical and legal web sites for those researching this asbestos-caused killer cancer
Minneapolis, MN (NTS) February 23, 2006 On the one-year anniversary of the launch of their Vioxx Search Engine (http://www.vioxx-search-engine.com), Nielsen Technical Services today announced the launch of their Mesothelioma Search Engine (www.mesothelioma-search-engine.com).
Niche search engines or vertical search engines have increased in popularity, but the time and expense of creating and maintaining a search engine for a highly vertical segment of an available search audience is generally not a good investment financially. When asked about the financial viability of such a site, owner Chris Nielsen said, We have some interested parties that would like to be associated with us and are exploring those options, but will not compromise our values for the sake of making a buck. The massive amount of money the asbestos and mesothelioma lawyers are spending have resulted in a feeding frenzy which has spawned thousands of sites and millions of pages of fluff, trash, and recycled content. I admit our site is expected to carry ads at some point, but that is not the reason for creating the site.
Nielsen was then asked the reason for creating such a site. I just could not find a central source to go for information where sites were not bidding or competitively optimizing for position and search engine ranking. Search engines are fighting to maintain relevancy but they are having problems. Many scraper sites are only looking to get visitors that will click on ads to reach real content. If you try a search for mesothelioma it should be clear what the problem is.
As with their Vioxx medical and legal search engine, Mesothelioma Search Engine will carry no paid search engine results or paid inclusion of sites. The site has a form for visitors to suggest sites. The list of sites included in the index is posted on the site and available for download, a feature not offered by other search engines.
The company is indexing selected sites for those looking for more information such as patients, researchers, families, doctors, pharmacists, students, and those in the legal profession. This site is offered as a public service for those looking for information related to medical and legal information on mesothelioma lung cancer, or asbestos lung cancer for which there is no cure and is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers or asbestos dust.
About Nielsen Technical Services
The company is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has been providing computer and software services since 1988. The Internet has transformed the company from a hardware services company into Internet consulting and specializes in search engine optimization.

USPS POSTAGE STAMP HONORS OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.-Honoring the spirit of athleticism and international unity, the U.S. Postal Service issued a new postage stamp today, inspired by the Olympic Winter Games, featuring an illustration of a downhill skier on a slalom course. The 2006 Olympic Winter Games stamp was dedicated at the U.S. Olympic Complex in Colorado Springs, Colo., and coincides with the XXth Olympic Winter Games, which will be held February 10-26, 2006 in Torino, Italy. The 39-cent stamp, available only in Colorado Springs today, will be available nationwide tomorrow, Jan. 12."Long after the Olympic flame is extinguished, this stamp will keep the spirit of the Olympic Winter Games burning in our hearts," said Dean Granholm, Manager, Colorado/Wyoming District for the U.S. Postal Service. "It's a tribute to the unifying Olympic spirit and ideal of excellence."
Joining Granholm at the ceremony, from the United States Olympic Committee, were Chip Gregson, Chief Operating Officer; John Register, Manager, Paralympic Academy and Military Programs; Jeff Howard, Director Media and Public Relations. Three-time Olympian Caroline Hallisey also participated. Postal Service spokesperson, Vonzell Solomon, a former postal carrier and "American Idol" finalist, was also part of today's ceremony.
"While the Olympic Winter Games happen every four years, ski and Olympic enthusiasts alike can enjoy the 2006 Games on beautiful stamps and commemorate the history of the competition," said Granholm.
Prompted by a growing group of snow-sport enthusiasts, the first Olympic Winter Games-initially called International Sports Week-were held at a small Alpine resort in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Figure skating, which first debuted at the Olympic Games in 1908 in London, can be performed on an indoor rink during summer, but other winter sports, such as bobsledding and skiing, required outdoor venues. The 1924 event attracted more than 250 athletes from 16 countries, spurring the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to agree to stage Olympic Winter Games separately from summer competitions.
In 2006, the Olympic Winter Games will include curling, bobsled, figure skating, ice hockey, luge, skeleton, speedskating, skiing and snowboarding. Some 2,500 world-class athletes-a word derived from the Greek word for "prize-seekers"-will compete amid snow and ice in front of an estimated 1.5 million spectators. This will be the second time Italy will host the Olympic Winter Games, as it hosted the VII Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956, and the third time overall, as Italy also staged the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome in 1960. Most recently, the 2002 Olympic Winter Games were held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Stamps featuring Olympic themes have been popular with collectors since the first modern Olympiad in 1896, when Greece issued 12 Olympic-themed commemorative stamps. This year's 2006 Olympic Winter Games stamp, created by illustrator John Mattos of San Francisco, Calif., features a skier cutting into a turn at full speed.
Beginning in 1932, numerous U.S. stamps have honored the Olympic Games including the 2004 Olympic Games * Athens, Greece stamp issued to coincide with the games of the XXVIII Olympiad, which were held in that city.
Current U.S. stamps, as well as a free comprehensive catalog, are available by toll-free phone order at 1-800-STAMP-24. A wide selection of stamps and other philatelic items is also available at the Postal Store at www.usps.com/shop. Beautifully framed prints of original stamp art for delivery straight to the home or office are available at www.postalartgallery.com.
How to Order the First-Day-of-Issue Postmark
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first-day-of-issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post Office, by telephone at 1-800-STAMP24, and at the Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com/shop. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes (to themselves or others), and place them in a larger envelope addressed to:
2006 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
POSTMASTER
201 EAST PIKES PEAK AVENUE
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80903-9998
After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is no charge for the postmark. All orders must be postmarked by February 11, 2006.
How to Order First-Day Covers
Stamp Fulfillment Services also offers first-day covers for new stamp issues and Postal Service stationery items postmarked with the official first-day-of-issue cancellation. Each item has an individual catalog number and is offered in the quarterly USA Philatelic catalog. Customers may request a free catalog by calling 1-800-STAMP-24 or writing to:
INFORMATION FULFILLMENT
DEPT 6270
US POSTAL SERVICE
PO BOX 219014
KANSAS CITY MO 64121-9014
Since 1775, the Postal Service and its predecessor, the Post Office Department, has connected friends, families, neighbors and businesses by mail. It is an independent federal agency that visits 144 million homes and businesses every day, six days a week and is the only service provider delivering to every address in the nation. The Postal Service receives no taxpayer dollars for routine operations, but derives its operating revenues solely from the sale of postage, products and services. With annual revenues of more than $69 billion, it is the world's leading provider of mailing and delivery services, offering some of the most affordable postage rates in the world. The Postal Service delivers more than half of the world's mail volume - some 212 billion letters, advertisements, periodicals and packages a year - and serves seven and a half million customers each day at its 37,000 retail locations nationwide. Its website, usps.com, attracts more than 21 million visitors each month.

Mailing Industry News
Instead of dropping a presorted and palletized mailing into the postal system at only the BMEU facility and achieving only the regular letter rate with no entry discount, a mailer may instead have the mailing verified at the BMEU and returned to their facility, where it is picked up by a TDM-coordinated private carrier for direct delivery to specified BMC/SCF facilities.
The nation's 600 million pieces of daily mail are trucked to 235 regional mail processing facilities scattered across the United States. Indian River County's letters go to a 200,000- square-foot building near the Orlando International Airport.

Unlimited Mortgage Lead Services Offers Mortgage Leads
Mortgage Leads and Unlimited Mortgage Lead ServicesLeadbull.com has reached its 8th year in the mortgage lead industry. Just adding its 15000 member in January 2006 Leadbull.com is described as a Top Mortgage Marketing Power, by Dave Christopher with TheMortgageWire.com.
(PRWEB) February 17, 2006 -- Mortgage Leads are even more important now with mortgage rates creeping back up to normal levels. This causes application rates, walk in business, and real estate agent referrals to decrease dramatically. Applications from January 14th, 2006 to February 14th, 2006 have decreased over 32%. This is a big number and really slows up the pipeline for most mortgage brokers and loan officers.
Mortgage Websites report that traffic along with applications has decreased in the first part of 2006. Jayson Williams, Director of Operations with Leadbull.com says, Mortgage leads on our system are holding steady and our volume has not decreased. This is due to a new marketing campaign Leadbull.com has launched to target borrowers looking to consolidate debt. There is always a family or individual out there with this issue and it attracts applications when the refinance market and purchase market slow down.
The purchase season is right around the corner with tax return checks coming in and the spring time around the corner. Leadbull.com takes pride in its purchase mortgage leads. Jayson says, Our purchase mortgage leads actually get a better closing ratio. These leads take longer to develop but the extreme shopping around we see with refinance leads is not an issue. Refinance mortgage leads are great but the rate at which online shoppers are shopping rates can really water down a mortgage lead.
Mortgage leads seem to be holding there place in todays marketing plan. Leadbull.com has been praised in national news about its VIP Program providing unlimited mortgage leads for 1 full year for only around $9000.00. That is as little as $800.00 a month and they guarantee an enormous savings.
Gerald Ottley, Branch Manager with Primary Residential Mortgage says, Leadbull.com has a great product in the VIP program. I have used the unlimited mortgage lead service for 2 years now and each year I have earned a ROI over 500%, so it works for m.
This seems to be the same trend with most mortgage brokers in the program. The renewal ratio with the VIP Program is 87%. That is a sign of success. Leadbull.com reports say that most brokers that sign up and lend in more than three states have great success and renew this product.

Two Post Offices Adopt Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy Adopted by Two Post Offices
-- Jim Davis, Chevron Energy Solutions president
Chevron Energy Solutions, a Chevron subsidiary, developed, engineered and constructed the new energy management upgrades. At the 680,000-square-foot facility Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC), Chevron Energy Solutions installed a hybrid solar/fuel cell power plant composed of a 250-kW Direct FuelCell that generates electricity from hydrogen produced internally from natural gas; 185 kW of crystalline-silicon solar panels mounted on a PowerLight parking canopy that tracks the sun; and 100 kW of flexible, amorphous-silicon, roof-mounted Uni-Solar solar panels.
The improvements at both facilities will lower total annual electricity purchases by $1.2 million or 10 million kilowatt hours (kWh) -- a 46 percent reduction. In addition, the energy-efficient equipment will reduce the P&DC's and Embarcadero Postal Center's (EPC) heating needs by 69 percent and 28 percent, respectively. In total, these improvements translate to a reduction in local electric utility emissions of about 6,600 tons of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of planting about 1,860 acres of trees.
"This project demonstrates the value of combining energy efficiency and clean energy technology," said Jim Davis, president of Chevron Energy Solutions (CES). "The savings created by new, efficient equipment at these facilities are helping to pay for clean, alternative energy -- solar and hydrogen fuel cell power. We commend the Postal Service for implementing a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that meets operating needs, improves the employees' work space and benefits the environment."
Together, the mail facilities -- the P&DC and EPC -- comprise 1.2 million square feet, employ about 3,000 people and process 7.5 million pieces of mail daily, operating around the clock. The USPS is the largest employer in San Francisco's Bay View/Hunter's Point district, where the P&DC is located.
The $15 million cost of the project is wholly funded by $8.3 million in energy savings, $4 million from the USPS's CFC refrigerant replacement program, and nearly $2.6 million in grants and incentives from the state of California and the U.S. Department of Defense Climate Change Fuel Cell Program.
Further the P&DC was presented with a rebate check for $2.3 million by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which administers incentive programs for self-generation and efficiency improvements in Northern and Central California.
The San Francisco project is part of a larger USPS contract with Chevron Energy Solutions to install energy-efficiency improvements at mail facilities throughout Northern California. CES recently completed improvements at the USPS processing facility in West Sacramento and is upgrading facilities in Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Stockton, Salinas and other Northern California locations. Together, these improvements will save the USPS more than $2 million per year in energy costs. In addition, CES has installed improvements at the USPS's Memphis, Tenn., mail-processing facilities.

Direct Marketing Association Pleased By Postal Reform Vote
DMA Applauds Senate on Postal Reform Vote
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) thanks members of the U.S. Senate who passed postal reform legislation (S.662) this afternoon in a unanimous consent vote.
DMA appreciates the efforts of Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), Senator Thomas Carper (D-DE), and the other 25 cosponsors of the postal reform bill (S.662), as well as Senator Kit Bond (R-MO), who worked closely with Senator Collins to address concerns that had stalled consideration of the vote by the full Senate.
"While there are still issues that must be resolved in conference, this vote by the full Senate is a long-awaited and positive step on the road to postal reform," said Jerry Cerasale, DMA's senior vice president for government affairs. "We look forward to working with Senate and House conferees, the Administration, and other interested stakeholders as we continue to push for the enactment of legislation this year."
"Right now, the Postal Service is hindered by an operating structure that dates back to early 1970s. But with 9 million jobs and more than $900 million in commerce affected by the success or failure of the Postal Service, we simply can't wait any longer to give the Postal Service the flexibility it needs to operate competitively in the 21st century."
About the DMA

Exploding Neckwear Causes Chicago Attorney To Lose Head
Chicago Attorney Calls It Quits to Run Exploding Online Neckwear BusinessFew would ever think that a $15 silk tie could ever catch fire in the world of neckwear. Well apparently, those few were right. With TheTieBar.com growing at an uncontrollable rate, management had to call on one of its original founders to help tame the new found expansion.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 8, 2006 - Chicago area attorney Greg Shugar spent eight years conducting trials of business disputes in courtrooms throughout Illinois before realizing his passion for neckwear should become a full-time career.
Today, TheTieBar.com, a nationally known online neckwear company, has announced that attorney Greg Shugar, one of the companys original founders, will now be running the day-to-day business affairs as Chief Executive Officer. For those familiar with TheTieBar.com, the announcement is not surprising, as Shugar has been in charge of merchandising and marketing of the neckwear designer since its inception in 2004. However, with the companys recent expansion into other lines of menswear, TheTieBar.com needed someone to take the company to the next level.
Having dealt with clients at my law firm who run their own businesses, I am well aware of the time and risks involved with expanding a business. But I find this challenge to be much more exciting than my full-time law practice, Shugar said. We originally started the company because I was obsessed with neckties, and always felt I could design my own ties. With a huge hole in the industry for affordable neckwear, we brought TheTieBar.com to life. The rest, as they say, is history, Shugar added.
TheTieBar.com gained its notoriety for selling its original designed 100% silk neckties for only $15.00 each. After being brought into the national spotlight by a major feature written by the Style Editor of the Chicago Tribune, TheTieBar.coms customer base grew 300% in just two months. Newspapers from Maine to Colorado started picking up the article, and the word is now fast spreading. We have had to triple our inventory just to keep up with the demand, Shugar said.
With its Spring 2006 collection now available, TheTieBar.com has introduced pocket squares to their line, and will be adding Shirts by TheTieBar and cufflinks by April, 2006.

Web Site May Reach One Billion Hits Before Owner Dies Or Maybe Not
Website Could be One in a Billion: Web Site Starts Out as Ambitious Bet but May Reach One Billion HitsHelp AJ win the bet and get one billion page views on his one billion page view website. It's already proving very popular and already featured in national newspapers, tv and radio.
(PRWEB) February 5, 2006 -- A Web site that started out as an ambitious bet is proving so popular in the first 2 weeks, it could actually get one billion hits.
AJ, 26, has been making websites since the age of seventeen, he doesn't have a degree, not a a-level, not even a gcse, everything he know's is self taught. "I believe that the internet is the greatest invention of the millennium, the door is wide open for me" said AJ, the founder of OneBillionPageViews.com.
His website, http://www.onebillionpageviews.com has only been online just over 2 weeks but is extremely popular and seems to be hot topics on forums and blogs across the internet, the site has already received over 30,000 page views and rising everyday, considering he isn't allowed to spend a penny marketing it, he has got a serious task ahead of him! The website has already been featured in national newspapers in the UK. AJ has also been featured on talk shows and done interviews on radio stations across the globe. When he achieves his goal, it will make http://www.onebillionpageviews.com one of the most seen & visited websites on the internet.
In a statement to us AJ says "ThePixelWebsite.com grew from nothing to 200,000 hits in the first week of being online, over a game of snooker, I just happened to be boasting about it to my friends, which later turned into a debate on how websites work and how to promote them... one of them challenged me, and I love a good challenge, they bet me and said they would gladly give me £1000 if I could make a site that gets One Billion Hits! There was one major clause, I cannot spend a penny in marketing the website, just me, my laptop and nothing else. We all know I could simply put a refresh tag in and leave my laptop on for a month. so I told him I would get 1 billion unique hits just to prove it can be done."
Its interesting to note that he isn't allowed to spend any money marketing it, surely if he achieves this, it will make him a marketing king? other websites that get this amount of hits usually spend millions on marketing or have thousands of pages of content behind the website for search engines to pick up on.
There are even copy cat sites popping up already across the internet trying to jump on the bandwagon but AJ insists "This is 100% Genuine"
The homepage counter will only record a unique IP address once every hour, to stop AJ employing a bunch of click monkeys to rack up the total early. AJ has also set up a blog to keep regular visitors informed of the progress although these pages arent included in the overall total. There seems to be a huge community building up around the website, a quick look at the comments on the website shows hundreds people showing their support & enthusiasm towards the website.
He makes a plea on the site asking for your help, "I want to win this bet, I'm not trying to make a million out of this, just a grand! and the pleasure of winning the bet! I love a good challenge, Help me do it, spread the word and lets make it official."
In a interview with us, he went on to say "I'm shocked with the amount of interest the website has generated, juggling this with my day job at UKRecordShop.com is a task and a half!"
So far, AJ has been featured in The Chronicle, New Nation, Yahoo.com (Yahoo News), DavesDaily.com, Face-Pic.com, Pocket-Lint.co.uk, "I hope to be featured in The Sun, The Daily Mirror, New York Times, The BBC & other quality press, those are my current goals" He comments.
AJ also runs numerous other websites, some of which are extremely popular, however, OneBillionPageViews.com is set to be his most viewed site yet.

Avoid Costly Credit Card Late Fees
5 Ways You Can Avoid Costly Credit Card Late Fees
by: Edward Vegliante
Credit card late fees are a fact of life for some consumers, but they dont have to be for you. Legally, credit card companies can hit you with pretty much whatever fees they want. On the other hand, you dont have to pay them, but only if you avoid them in the first place. Here are five sure fire ways you can avoid costly credit card late fees:
1. Pay Before the Due Date. Of course, this makes the most sense. However, this is also the single most important reason why people get socked with fees: they receive their bill and immediately forget about it! When you get your bill, open it up and pay it promptly. Waiting means forgetting and forgetting about your credit card bill will cost you money.
2. Pay on the Internet. If you have access to a computer, then paying online is the best way to make certain that your payment gets to your credit card provider on time. Be careful, as there is still some lag time from when you authorize funds to be released from your checking account and when that payment is finally credited to your credit card account. The gap between the two can be as long as one week!
3. Schedule Automatic Payments. Some credit card providers allow for you to set up a scheduled deduction from your checking account which is then automatically sent to your credit card provider. You should set it up to take money out of your account well before the due date to ensure that your funds are received on time. You can always send in a separate, extra payment if you want to pay down your debt faster too.
4. Question a Late Payment. Even if the credit card company claims that your payment was late, it doesn't mean that you must be charged a late fee. Contact the company and ask them to reverse their charge - which usually runs between $29 and $39 -- and to expunge their records of your tardiness. You not only want to avoid any fees, you want to avoid their possible notification of your lateness to the three major credit report agencies [Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax]. Any information supplied to the credit reporting agencies can work against you in the form of higher interest rates on current cards as well as on future loans!
5. Go with the Citi Simplicity Credit Card. Now, consumers have a new option to help them avoid late fees: Citis new Citi Simplicity card doesnt charge late fees. Please click the link below for more information about this breakthrough card.
Taking the appropriate action can help you to avoid late fees and allow for you to keep more of your money in your pocket. Become better informed and start saving money today!

Two associates are in Yorkshire, one in Nottingham, one in Wales, one in Swindon and another in Plymouth. The website and promotions office is based in Bristol.
[ClickPress, Thu Feb 02 2006] Pete Mallinson, who helps with the website, says: 'Print4biz has the contacts, the equipment, the tradesmen and enough joint capacity to print anything, any size, any quantity. All associates are PC literate and linked by digital communications and with reliable overnight delivery within the UK mainland already set up they're confident that you'll never have to look elsewhere for commercial printing.'
Although it has the facilities to satisfy all printing requirements Print4biz is primarily offering small scale full-colour printing - a product that most organisations need and something that can be very expensive indeed if inappropriate equipment or outdated technology is used. This is why only price lists for this type of product are being published at the moment. Ultimately a much wider range of prices for printed material, artwork and graphic design will be displayed - and also (security permitting) facilities for online proofing and accounting will be developed.
Pete says: 'Print4biz isn't trying to be the quickest or the cheapest and it certainly isn't trying to compete with your local high street printshop. Instead it's offering something new - a national printing service aimed specifically at internet aware businesses.
'The sales and marketing is online and offers a combination of convenience, quality, reliability and cost that's far in advance of most traditional printers. Your competitors will be staggered at the quality and when you tell them the price - they simply won't believe it.'
This is the way all printing will be done one day - national prices with national delivery. It's already done this way for newspapers and magazines but the enormous investment involved has previously ruled it out for small commercial printers. Print4biz has changed all that.
The website, which is under constant development, is deliberately simple and straightforward with every page being just one click away from the opening screen. Logon to www.print4biz.co.uk today and compare the prices, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
