New report on finding the right Internet provider and acquiring a successful website: www.7bestpractices.com

Companies in need of Internet service need to be aware of their vulnerability. In an article, from the UK site V3.co.uk titled "Consumers blame retailers for online fraud"- http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2257568/fraud-report - details how retailers can become targets because they don't fully understand direct marketing best practices.

Internet fraud is a real problem for the affiliate industry. LinkTrust, an ApogeeInvent partner, has recently introduced a new affiliate fraud scoring system providing networks and advertisers with insight on potentially fraudulent affiliates. LinkTrust also features an affiliate fraud signup filter to help their partners define a blacklist of unacceptable affiliate signup field values. http://affiliatetip.com/news/article003126.php

For those unfamiliar with the affiliate industry, or the online marketplace, efforts like LinkTrust's help protect consumers. But what about those companies who want to build their first professional website? When researching faceless providers on the Internet, a selection is often hastily made on matters of cost. Only after the work is delivered and the new site is unsuccessful does it become apparent that costly repairs are required.

Understanding best practices is much more than checking boxes. It comes from experience in the online marketplace, and a customer involvement that extends beyond the first consultation. ApogeeInvent, a leader in the affiliate industry, follows the best practices to avoid fraud and other unethical practices performed by companies.
